Have you ever written any music?

I don't make my own songs often. There's one that I'm tweaking a little on my piano. I will post it later when I ever feel like it's good enough. I mostly do covers of songs, I just finished 99 red balloons on the piano.

EDIT: I listened to your "The beast before the sea" and I am very impressed. If you were in a band and I heard that guitar (with singing that wouldn't want me to shoot myself) I'd download it in a heartbeat.

I was in a band in early '07, played a few shows in Columbus, Cleveland and Dayton Ohio. It was quite fun! Road trips were a blast usually, and the feeling of being on stage was a 100% euphoria.

What kind of music did you play?

Metal is totally my thing :D

I wrote that song earlier this year, but the style of music I write now is deeper and more intense. I use harmonies alot now, along with heavy breakdowns and add various instruments into metal now (i.e. Pianos, organs, synthesizers) I once made a metal version of Rihanna's Unfaithful. It actually turned out better than I thought it would. :p

I Killed The Prom Queen, All That Remains, Shadows Fall, In Flames, Sky Eats Airplane, Job For A Cowboy, The Devil Wears Prada, Chiodos and Dance Gavin Dance are some of my favorite bands :D

Only one of those bands is metal.
Only one other one could be contested to be called metal.

I now sincerely doubt metal is indeed your thing.

I'm more of a ***** metal person.

I like my vocals clean, so that usually involves speed metal, say Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, Altaria, Helloween and such.

But damn, of all those bands you mentioned, only one you mentioned that I knew was In Flames, and that's only cause of TLM

I now do not think metal is indeed your thing.

There are different kinds of metal in my opinion. Speedmetal, Black Metal, Death Metal, 8bit/Nintendo Metal (HORSE the Band).

I made this in FL Studio and sent it to my friend so he could record it because I didn't have fraps. =[ He's better than me at making stuff in FL Studio though.

I'd say All That Remains and Job For A Cowboy are pretty metal. From a normal person's point of view anyways.

What bands do you classify as metal?

WTF

This was actually worth pausing my Ricky Martin for.

There's no rhythm to metal? Metal has to have some of the most complicated rhythms, timing and beats I know of. Tool has some insane rhythms.

Timing in 5/8, 3/4, 8/10, 7/11.

Yeah, it's hard.

What kind of music do you like then Pikko?

I haven't really heard of any of the other ones =/

But I'm glad to hear your input! I'm always open to listen to new bands :D

Well there you go.
I'm sorry to have flown off the handle like that, but someone I know recently opened my eyes to how n00b people can be about music, and really, no offense but you got the genre listings off of MySpace. I could make a black metal band, label it "Pop Rock/Alternative" but it wouldn't make me put me in the same bucket as, say, The Higher.

Also, about that guy who was trolling, it's not as though I've never talked shit about any other genre before, but I try not to go out of my way just for a few laughs.
Typically I like to stay away from that stuff, and if I must have some input, I will try not to be a dick about it and say something that could have gone without saying.

:]

The written music, that is.

Whaaaat? Who on earth says you're gay for listening to mellow bands?

Sometimes I need a break from songs with screaming and double bass. (i.e. if I'm sitting on the swing outside, or laying on the grass with my girlfriend)

Yeah, I have a heart :eye:

HORSE the Band is NOT ****ing metal. HORSE the Band is about as metal as ****ing Alexisonfire.
Also, "8bit/Nintendo Metal" isn't a real ****ing genre.

Holy ****.

What bands do I classify as metal?
Hmm, let's see...
