Hey guys

I just thought I would post this here. Not sure it's in the right forum!

Anyhow go to the myspace page and you will hear our influences! hahah It's pretty fuckin obvious!

http://www.myspace.com/oldcitiesburn

We are a bunch of easy goin dudes, but Ass kickers none the less!
All originals with a few covers thrown in to show respect!

We are located in southern Ontario Canada. If you guys are interested and you are in the area hit us up.

I have been playing guitar for a long time and I play because of Dime and Pantera!

Rest in Peace Dime!

I'm interested, would you consider moving to Texas?

Yes! Fuck yeah, I've been talking to Sterling Winfield and he likes our tunes, and when we get a demo ready he wants us to send it to him.

However, I doubt moving to Texas will happen any time soon!

Who is Sterling Winfield and why is this so significant that you wont consider moving to Texas?

Sterling Winfield was Pantera/Damageplans producer. He did all the records from VDOP onward.

So it's a pretty big deal for me!

moving to texas costs money bro, and would be harder to move a band of 3 than to move a singer of 1 ;)

The amp is a fuckin raging monster! I can get any goddamn sound out of it, motherfucker spits hot fire! hahaha :aargh:

The tunes on the myspace are recorded with other shit, I just got this amp after a year long wait for it to be built.

H/K

The guitar is a USA Stealth and I had a local dude paint it for me.

Here are my axes

I thought about getting one, but I played a bunch when they came out and to me they didn't feel close to the USA's so I passed. The black one looked killer, but......

From my understanding they were excellent guitars and you rarely see them come up for sale.

I'm sure they were great, but I just preferred the USA Dime's. At one point I had 10 and sold a bunch, but they still played and sounded better to me......

I agree! Just because I play the same guitars does not make me a Dime worshiper. I bought my first USA Dime Washburn in 1995 when they were released and was a fan a long time before that. But just because I play the guitars does not make me like the kids that popped up after he died wanting to know what kind of fuckin beard dye he used or how thick his socks were?

I play metal, if you want to say we are trying to sound like Pantera then good for you boy! but we have a ton of influences and they all come out in the music, sadly nothing sounds new today and we try our best.

Cheers!

They give me shit because I have 5 US fender P basses.
All set up different with different sound/tone/pickups....also 2 used for different tunings.
I get it...
My old guitar player has a bunch of old Washburn Dimes including an ST3 Stealth with the diamond plate top. There is pics on here of them on here way back if you care to go lookin.

You guys do sound like a pantera rip off, Brandon isn't lying. But I really dont care what guitars you play or what amps you use, you're a good guitar player.

if old cities burn, what do new cities do?

Re: Hey guys! My band needs a singer! Southern Ontario Canad

We have one original song and a Pantera cover up, so based on that 50/50 Average then maybe we do sound like a Pantera Rip off.......except nowhere near as fuckin awesome.


And by the way, Old Cities do burn and New Cities shit hot goats, that was actually our first band name, but we want to have that pop easy access feel.

To the Dude who sings like Hanson Anselmo, Lady Jew Jew and Neil Diamond, too bad man, We are looking for more of a dude like The dude from Creed, Cindy Lauper and Tom hanks with aids combined..... but if thats all you can do I guess thats good enough.

We are actually looking for something like what this Ibex does, without treading into death metal territory
