The Slayer, Metal Devil and I have been planning an online metal band within the past day or so on Budokaiman's "Music Discussion." We decided the best way to have a way for everyone to get a chance to tell of their talents so we could get a solid cast going was making a thread. So far (in my opinion) we want a manager, a second guitarist, a drummer, (we don't NEED one until we start performing live, if we ever do,) and maybe a keyboardist. I don't know about the keyboard, The Slayer plays both guitar and Keyboard apparently, so it depends on which one we need more. I am planning as singer, for 3 reasons: I have energy for a good stage act, take "lessons," (Chorus as my elective) and I was accepted into a chorus where 100 auditioned and 15 got in.
We have not named the band, so suggestions to a name are welcome. We decided on mainly metal, with some humor and an occasional song that dips into other genres. Anyone, and I mean anyone, feel free to post and offer anything, be it a talent, a name, or just support.

Wait...I know which one was a real suggestion...bacon. Totally. I don't even eat bacon. I used to love it, as in LOVE IT, but I decided to quit for someon scared me into having nightmares of pig meat so I stopped. Never had it sense.

Anyway, Justice in Heck seems cool, but as you can see I'm not allowed to say the word OBese87 said, so whenever i would say it as "heck" it would kind of make us seem..not very professional, you know?

Anyway, thank you, that is probably the best one, with a close second being the only other person that ever posted.

Why can't you say hell? It's not cursing because you are actually talking about hell literally.
Not meaning to offend you but it is going to be difficult being the lead singer of a Metal band if you have a problem with cursing.

you do know that there are some extremely good metal bands out there who never swears in their songs?!

just because it is metal it doesnt have to be about hell, or other things like it, you can even sing about jesus if you like!

Really dont see a problem about not willing to swear
also he might have thought about it as a curse and therefore not posting it since he thought it might not have gotten through since we arent allowed to swear on these forums?
i personally rather type heck than hell

Well, I think we can count Mad Nightmare in too (singing > grunts/screams). Are you still interested, Mad Nightmare?

Yeah, I do play the keyboard, but I think I would be better of playing the guitar. My keyboard is a little outdated, and doesn't sound as good as it used to be. So, if anyone with a keyboard is interested in joining our band, just say the word.

Other people have said this, but I can easily go without cussing. But in case that does interfere, or maybe just slightly nudge everything a little I could play keyboard still. Shadow says I'm bad and I agree but I have a keyboard and that counts for something right? Singers are much easier to find then bassists or drummers or keyboardists, so I guess I should step down from the position.

And yes, Dead Presidents Society is a cool name.

And no, you should not always agree with Shadow.

Well, you don't have to swear, but usually, if you're purposely avoiding swearing because you're not allowed to even say 'hell', then you're not really going to be taken seriously by anybody.

As a person who ran a couple of student radio shows playing metal, there were times I wished fewer bands swore, namely so I could play them. And I suppose to be fair, we weren't even allow to say 'hell' on air if in the cursing sense, 'damn' was another word, to big with, to train myself to avoid saying bad words, I'd say "darn it", which makes you feel like an idiot.

European bands (other than British) barely utter a swear word, hence we played a lot of stuff from Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark and Germany. Other stuff, like say, Chimaira, I found it hard to find songs with lyrics I could play on air, I think I only found one on an entire album...Ted Maul, I don't think there was a single metal track I could play on their album, which is a shame because I think they're an awesome band that more people should check out.


Generally I say, don't hold back on your art because you're frightened it'll offend somebody, because I sure as hell don't...it's just I can't say any of it on air is all.

He is saying, that... well, if you have to swear, then swear. I am not really sure, but this is how I got it, when I explain is shortly.

On the last day, you should have picked a song that had helluva alot of curse words in it. Or just none and at the end of the show yell "[censor] you!" :-P

And the swear if have to swear, if it's against your beliefs then no, but just, if you think someone will get offended by it, then that's their own problem. I don't hink alot of metal song writers think about, if some YouTube mother will get offended by the lyrics.

Don't be afraid to swear is what I'm saying, though you don't need to swear needlessly - don't censor yourself. If you like the name 'Justice in Hell', then don't censor yourself by changing it to 'heck', it's just compromising because you're afraid of using offensive language. If you don't believe in swearing, it's fair enough, it wouldn't be right otherwise.

Naturally, as a radio DJ I preferred it when artists didn't swear, but I'd never ask them to change their music just so I could play their music...it's a shame I didn't have any radio edits, then I could have played them (and it's illegal for us to put in our own edits too).

Nah, though it was tempting for the fun of it, but during my first year the station had a lot of trouble with some of its members - a lot of personal trouble - some people even managed to get the station strikes with OFCOM (The UK's governing body for broadcasting) and one of the members reported the studio to a health and safety authority because he got into an argument with the vice president about doing things by the book (the studio lacked a vent).

The station was suspended by OFCOM and lost its studio and people acted like children. My second year consisted of people bickering - even attacking those who were trying to get us a new studio and only a few of us were trying hard to get the station back on its feet (most of the abuse was directed at one of the Students' Union vice presidents, who funded 5,000 quid towards the building a new studio), so after all that hard work, it'd be a bit stupid of me to give them an OFCOM strike for swearing on my last show.

However, I suppose what did amuse me in my last semester was my show played a lot of pagan and satanic music and the show after mine played Christian rock and gospel, it's one hell of a contrast, but nobody had a problem with it.

So really, are you bad or not (the singing)?
As for the swearing, you don't need to, ya know? Another member could scream or sing the swearwords if needed.

For me personnaly, metal should be brutal with violent lyrics and all that. Singing about hugs and kisses or birds and bees simply doesn't fit in metalmusic IMO. That would be as weird as on orchestra or popband singing about the devil.

Well, if you step down from the position as bandsinger, than I hope we find someone else to sing together with Mad Nightmare (if he still is interested?).
Or, maybe Mad Nightmare could do the singing and screaming all alone?

When it comes to singing I consider myself no amateur, yet no professional, for like I said I was in the top 15 of 100 random kids.

I do not swear but I'm certainly not afraid to go crazy with violence and brutalness and all that. If you feel you don't want a kid who can't swear and isn't sure if he can sing at all, I understand and will happily let you take over the operation. Honestly, I like music but I really don't play anything. That's why this whole time I've kind of recommended myself as Manager. I'm mature for my age, and I wouldn't have to swear or sing a bunch of madness. Heck, ( ) I wouldn't have to fly around to see you guys.

I have nothing against you beeing young or the fact that you dislike swearing. And, you probably sing better than me. Furthermore, we need a singer, so really it's up to you to choose if you want to sing in the band or not.

I guess it all depends on how easy it is to find another vocalist, because honestly given the situation (my international location and my age) it would be MUCH more convenient for me to be manager. And a kid manager is more awesome then a kid vocalist, at least in my opinion.

I don't have a mic or a stand, so your ahead of me already. And while a mic is more important, a stand is pwnage to have with one, so if you have a mic might as well have a stand.

I don't see the problem with your location, as it would be an online metalband, so there wouldn't be any travelling to be done, at least not for a whole while.
And, what would you do then, as a manager?
But as I said, it's up to you.

Quote: "If I had a microphine still... I still have a stand thou, so half way there, I quess!"

Hum, microphones don't cost that much. Not saying that you need to buy one, but if your any good and serious of joining the band, then...?

I guess we're back to square one.

If we don't find any serious guyz (and/or girls) with some musical talent to join the band, then too bad...

I'll definately keep recording songs, and as soon as I have enough good tracks to fill a cd, I'll try to sell it. Not that it will be easy, but who knows...

Well, I'll see about good mics. After I bought something I've been wanting and saving for for a long time now... can't give up on that.

Maby if I find my old computer mic (in hopes that it's not broken) maby it will be a good temporary one 'till we are off online and competing with Metallica.

I don't know...mange. It really doesn't mean anything to be manager to an online band, I guess, since there's no appointments needed to be made, no money that needs to be sorted out, none of that stuff. And since honestly I figured being in a metal band this young, while possible, even done before, doesn't really fit me, I guess I'm out. I'm not the guy who does this intense things at this age. I know if my mom ever found out about this, she would take away my internet privileges all together, so I would have to not tell her, so I would have to be a rebel, and I'm too much of a goodie-two-shoes to do this. I know you've gone through this before, but I'm sorry everyone is bailing out.

Don't do that! I enjoy listening to your songs! Songs, riffs, whatever you want to call them.

Oh and sorry about abandoning you last time when I said I might try to help keep the online band idea alive. Something came up in real life that I couldn't have anticipated. But, like I said in the Music Discussion thread, things will be getting better for me in a few weeks, so maybe then we could finally make this online band thing a reality.

i agree, that's a bad name, but if you add some more crazy it just might work.

I do believe that's a perfect band name.

Hum, maybe that could make other people more interested, who knows?
I'm just wondering why there's so little interest in forming an online forum metalband?
Are you guyz afraid because of your musical talents not beeing good enough, or what? I'm not a professional either, and this forum metalband idea would rather be for fun. It could develop in something more serious later on, but let's not focus on that for now. This is not some nine to five job, but rather an opportunity for some musicians to make some interesting metalmusic and having fun while doing it, ya know?
I have a life too, and I don't have the time to record some riffs or songs every day. I do put a lot of effort in my music and I try to play as good as I can, but ONLY when I have the time.
Even if it should take several months for us to make one song, that wouldn't matter to me.
So, if anyone with an instrument and a little musical talent and some interest in joining a forum metalband, just say so...

Thanks a lot, Herakles! I enjoyed playing them and recording! It always feels good to hear good comments about things you made by yourself. Makes me wanna record some more!
Well, I really hope we can make this online metalband a reality.

Cheers

Slayer rules!!! Yeaaah, man!

I intend on buying an acoustic when I have some more money and fancy taking up the guitar again - I learned to play when I was a kid but tired away as a teenager and really should play again. The reason I'm getting an acoustic is because I want to use a guitar for my storytelling and because storytelling is a folk art I need something more folkish.

As for singing, well...you don't want to hear me sing. I might take up singing classes when I've got more storytelling gigs, I know a few storytellers that sing and they can sound awesome...even the ones that aren't very good at it.


An online band sounds like something difficult to sustain, but I suppose it might be interesting to have a shot with...when I've got my acoustic, I might be tempted to see how you guys have got on and might give a hand, after all, metal bands sometimes use an acoustic sound, like Blind Guardian's Bard Song, now something like that would be up my street as a storyteller.

I see no reason why it should be that difficult. It would be like making a game where every member throws in his part to make the game complete, right?

Well, I like storytelling too (even without the singing), especially in song intro's (and in between the song), like some songs by Manowar.

Yep, several metal bands (including Behemoth ) use acoustic guitar for their songs, and I love that. It kinds of makes the rough parts of the song even more intense.
Whenever this online metalband is reality and you have your acoustic, don't hesitate to call back if you're still interested, hey?

Slayer rules!!! Yeaaah, man!

Exactly, I have known many to fail. Not to imply that this won't be a successful project, just that such a project might not be met by the same dedications by all and if unkept it could well fall apart, like some of the game projects out there.

Yes, it's one of the reasons I've listened to Gods of War and over. It's probably also why Man-o-war & Rhapsody of Fire love Christopher Lee, that man has an awesome voice for voice-overs and I've been meaning to check out Christopher Lee's power metal album, Charlemagne.

Sure.


What would be an interesting aim, as this is a game creation forum - is to work some tracks that could be used in video games - I know the Music section of the forum has tried to work to get some music tracks together. After all, some games like that metal edge.

Actually, I really like that idea. I mean I REALLY like that idea. That's what I'm going to do when I write and record something new.

With any project, either it be for fun or professional, gamedevelopment or music, it should not be taken lightly.

Quote: "Christopher Lee, that man has an awesome voice for voice-overs and I've been meaning to check out Christopher Lee's power metal album, Charlemagne."

Yeah, he surely does! But I didn't know that he has a band?

I must admit that it is a great idea! Metalmusic can be great in FPS and the like.

So, who thinks this is a great idea and is interested to add his/hers musical talents to make metaltracks to be used in games, please let it know on this thread. Thanks!

I'll probably record one song to begin with and hope that this inspires other forummembers to join in...

He recorded a power metal musical about Charlemagne (as he's a descendant), it was released earlier this year.

MySpace page

Sadly the clips really don't show much and it's not on Spotify either, so I'll probably need to find the album and purchase it to see what it's like - I've read good things about it, but I've not heard enough to make my own verdict.

I'll extend my offer to that, of course.
