Panterachat

Alright, so most of us know each other from years of posting, and some of us just don't. Where's everyone standing today musically? In any bands? Accomplish any new feats? Get any new gear? Etc, etc.

I'm still in Painpurge rocking it hard. We're recording tonight or tomorrow night a 3 song demo, and using it for our promo pack to book countless shows starting next week. I also plan on starting up lessons on guitar again just because. Can never learn enough!

NoW iT's yOuR tUrN!!@!~!1

No band, yet. Always working on my playing though.

Bought a new Dean ML Select, dropped a Dimebucker in the bridge, and bought a Boss noise suppressor.

Well, I'm in a Pantera Tribute act called Sandblasted ( www.sandblastedonline.com )

As for new gear, nothing recently apart from a couple of new Planetwave cables... I'm getting a whammy pedal in April (Yay! Becoming and Suicide Note Part II live! ) when I get my student loan.

passed up on a charvel model 4 the other day with a kahler and actives on it. fucking kicking myself about it!

I still have the same gear and I play bass in a band called Crack Team.

Same axe ( new), currently or call it desperately looking for a new amp and pedal been through two in a month . Building my band , having problems with getting people to show up to practice . It's fucking stresses me out and I'm looking at maybe collaborating with a few friends who's lead axe player is in rehab. right now . First get together went very well and they are very committed folks . Getting sick of losers, posers, drug addicts and big talkers as band mates .

i have a badass singer,still looking for a good drummer and bassist.
looking for a new job so i can get the rest of my rack gear and hopefully build a warmoth guitar.lately i have been focusing on my leads.

My drummer is starting to learn double kick (hes a newb) and my singer is savign for a PA. he should get it in about 2 or 3 weeks. im starting to save up for a new guitar. im gonna get a Platinum Pro Jr.V. might get a new pick up or two as well. probly Invader for my Viper and if im happy with that, ill probly buy another for the V. Then again id like to throw a Bill Lawrence in the V. ive never played thru one tho. how do you think it would sound thru a Spider II?

I play guitar in a prog rock band.. we need a singer though so we haven't gigged yet. I have a Japanese '62 custom reissue tele and a korg ax1500g effects processor.. i now need to replace my shitty 10 watt Park amp

i've been on a campaign to really clean up my playing which is going good
i'm decided to major in music industry management at ferris which is cool
i'm starting a band as soon as we find a drummer and get all the shit lined up

edit: i'm also working on writing better solos and asdding a lot of variety

the band im in is finally starting to get off the ground www.soulfracture.co.uk should be playing gigs in a month or two

same gear.. but i've slowed down my playing so its more melodic. Working on songwriting a lot too these days.

you could shred man why slow it down and more melodic?

im currently playing in my attic, and since this is my first post on this forum i figured id take the time and tell you that Im a bassist, and my current equipment includes:
a Dean Edge Custom 4 string
a Dean Edge 5 string (neck through, fockin nice!)
a Jackson KBX 4 string

im running through a Boss GT-6B, and right now im playing through some shitty Crate 100w bass amp. I bought a Peavey Max450 head, and i need to order a cab someday soon here

most tribute bands are terrible. not judging yours or anything, it's just hard to recreate the electricity of a band like pantera without it being the real band.

I got bored of doing the same stuff all the time.. I just find playing melodically is much more interesting. I still love shredding of course, I guess the style I'm going for is something like Jeff Loomis; great shredding but with lots of melody as well. Too bad I'm no where near his level though heh.

You don't need a fucking cab. You're too goddamn loud as it is.

Have some friends in a tribute band MotleyTwo www.motley2.com and they rake in the fucking cash at each show ,sell out every time and fucking motley chicks are abundant. They have a original band called Dizzy and another band called Abuse of Power and they both have trouble selling out shows and their great musicians . Not enough cash in it till they get picked up man and there are a few being pick up around here .

Slap on the spandex and a wig and you're styling !!!!!

understandable. Id like to be more brutal with my stuff. more death cords and such. what would you recommend me learning or playing to get a more brutal and dark sound?

ee well im playing with a drummer, he likes to call the band monroe effect, metal/prog. i'v got a 2man grind project going on just for fun, me on vocs and geetarz and a friend on drums. i dont play much with them though, i just play alot by myself

ive been in nephilim for a while now and we've been playing lots of shows and selling our 3 song demo.

recently got a dimarzio x2n and a dimarzio paf pro (the x2n is already installed in the bridge of my dean ml f 79). i have a 5150 but thats not very new news.

You're fucking deaf. You don't hear shit anyways. *I* can't even hear myself.

I'm still playing shitty music....but maybe I'll buy a new sound card, speakers and one or two mics soon and record some fast as fuck noise/grind.

I'm not sure that getting new recording equipment will stop you from playing shitty music. New toys are fun though.

Started up 2 bands, razorkill (cunt-metal) and flies on heat (jazz-country-blues-freak music)
got a dean ml79f, have just made the breakthrough on guitar that screams shred muthafucka!

I've progressed a lot and now all my songs have the vibe to know who is playing it. I have a big, very big Atheist influence in all my bass lines along with some red chord / cephalic carnage kind of vibe to them as well.

No but I plan on buying one when I have enough money saved up to be ok financally. A decent one costs a little more than I'd care to pay for...but, why not? Haha

I've got a Washburn Dime3 Trendkill Camoflauge runned through a jjlabs 40w amp and a danelectro tubscreamer..

I'm in two bands > "Slave Chicken" and "the Moshpit Survival Kit".

No new gear at this point; still using the EC1000 through the RH100 and the Marshall 4X12 w/ celestions.

New band is Burial Within
