I haven't tried this yet, so here goes.

I need a bassist and maybe a singer, for my band, Extra Strength.

Music speaks volumes about what kind of style it is, the myspace page says alot about what
bands around here, and abroad we like.

Not looking to be the toughest, meanest, or grimiest. We just want to build on what we do allready.

if you guys get good and still need a singer, let me know.

7/5/2006 12:17:26 AM

im letting you know now.
we are good.
we use electric drums and record w/ a comp strictly to be indoors...it's not like I dont have
the proper equip...fyi for any potentials, the drummer, has pearl session elites w/ k custom cymbals,
and an earth ride. double kick. We also have a 1500 watt peavey PA system w/ 2x15 cabs, macky mixing board. climate controlled space is in the near future, so real equip ^ will be used, as opposed to two cymbals and 4 drums, on a shitty elec. kit.

whats the guitarists excuse? sounds like hes playing an epiphone through a flange pedal into a gorilla amp.

nigger please...i sing as well.

7/5/2006 8:41:10 AM

Fuck a gorilla amp.


and just for sng's, why not audition blasphemour? Im sure you'll blow us all away
with your uber singing skills. Or you could just blow us all.

PS
If you weren't such a DICKHEAD to artists, maybe your label wouldnt be DOA.

Just throwing that out there.

i stopped the label when i relocated to NC, just havent had the urge to restart. bands i put out went on to bigger labels like relapse records, Victory Records and such. Skinless, Goatwhore, Psywarfare, etc.

and as far as auditioning goes, most i would do is send you to some audio files.

7/5/2006 8:49:56 AM

you guys have no beat. Sure, you have a drummer, but there's nothing for a listener to catch a hold of. In other words, your "beat" varies so much that whenever somebody (myself) tries to find one, within a couple seconds, they have to start anew. You guys may have technical skill, but until you can fix the above, you'll never get the sound you're probably aiming for.

7/5/2006 8:55:37 AM

Im waiting big man. send those mp3's on. or do you still have to mail cassette tapes?

^ dude, electric drums are terrible...when we get the climate controlled space, all will change for the better... there are seriously only 8 noises you can make w/ that kit, and the head for the drums cannot buffer hits for shit.

Heroin...same recording session i believe.

Vocals on all tracks, guitar and vocals on 1, 3 and 4...keys on 1.

7/5/2006 8:59:27 AM

there are plenty of bands that play the electronic drums well.

7/5/2006 8:59:57 AM

^^ are you kidding me?!?! hahahahaha you cant hit a note for shit, hence all teh double tracking...
keep you cassette tapes, Im not looking for a screamer. I need someone who can actually sing.
Tell teh rest of those guys that they are pretty jamming tho. especially the bassist.

[Edited on July 5, 2006 at 9:03 AM. Reason : arrows]

Better kits than us, I guarantee.^

ok kid. thats why ive been in a touring band, and you sound like a high school garage band that cant find members.

7/5/2006 9:04:55 AM

^^ the stuff on that page sounds a hell of a lot better than the stuff on yours for reasons I already said.

yeah, a bunch of kids in a garage. I was trying not to use that analogy.

[Edited on July 5, 2006 at 9:05 AM. Reason : .]

7/5/2006 9:05:12 AM

milli vanilli toured too.....

7/5/2006 9:06:44 AM

i just thought i would throw out that there are plenty of shitty bands that tour.

7/5/2006 9:06:47 AM

and as far as double tracking, heres a live video...no double tracking involved.

7/5/2006 9:07:54 AM

^^ and be honest w/ yourself, guys, my recordings dont suck balls, I mean...it's just me and a Drummer.
Come on. What do you expect in a Musician wanted thread? The next slayer record?

and dude, I went to your site...no need to post that here....I allready know I dont like it...I also saw that video posted on your site and didnt click it there.

[Edited on July 5, 2006 at 9:09 AM. Reason : ..]

7/5/2006 9:08:34 AM

sorry kid but that video isnt posted on that myspace page.

7/5/2006 9:11:14 AM

uh...yeah it is...


how about getting the fuck outa my thread now?

kk tnx

7/5/2006 9:14:27 AM

the one on the page is like a 60 second clip of the ending of Corpses For Algernon. the one i posted here is the full song Tapped which was released on our CD on Endless Fight Records.

7/5/2006 9:16:00 AM

holy shit, that video is from 2012!

7/5/2006 9:16:54 AM

I can sing. Wait. I NEED to sing. I have a variety of stuff in my portfolio. I've written lyrics for everything from punk rock to softcore gangsta rap to lesbian lounge music -- _Skanky_ lesbian lounge music. I'm serious. Here are the copyrighted lyrics:

Pretty girl over there in the darkness
Do you wanna share my purple tangerine?
I'm not sure if you're into fruit,
But I thought you might be hungry. What's the matter?
Don't you like the color of my...
Purple tangerine?

They won't let you? They won't care!
Put a smile on your face and lose that despair.
Like the rainbow...purple, yellow...
No, I'm not a silly fellow.
Don't be rude. No, don't be mean.
Come and share my purple tangerine.

I call it "Purple Tangerine".

I've been influenced by artists such as Vanilla Ice and Alanis Morrissette. (You should hear my rendition of "Uninvited". You WILL hear my rendition of "Uninvited".)

Here's the start of a (copyrighted) untitled rap song I cameup with a while back. I was going through a phase, so I forgot some of the words, and didn't write it all down:

Snoop Dogg had a kitty attack.
Vanilla's chillin' with an ice cream snack.
Now that Tupac's got jacked,
I get all the female dogs with my mack.
I'm hard, but I melt like hot tar.
Bust out the hood in my dope car.
I'm going 30 miles too fast.
Was that a cop I just passed?

I'd like to give the metal scene a go. Let me know.

Thanks.

7/5/2006 9:17:46 AM

we were ahead of our time.

and dood that made this thread...you really need to learn how to take criticism if youre going to be in a band.

7/5/2006 9:21:21 AM

hate to tell you, but hatred is a form of criticism. not everyone is going to like you, and some reviews will be far meaner than i could ever be.

7/5/2006 9:23:21 AM

and some critics can just STFU.

7/5/2006 9:23:58 AM

you even sound like you have the mentality of a kid still in high school.

c'mon Ryan...get a life. Oh that's right, you did, but you fucked it up and are now listlessly pwnting
musicians actually trying to make something of themselves/have some fun.

7/5/2006 9:29:12 AM

i fucked my life up? im confused. and im hardly trying to "pwnt" you. I simply gave my opinion on your music, and instead of accepting the fact that everyone has different tastes, you got your panties in a bunch and cried about it. If you ever get to the point where you can get an album together, and people actually take the time to review it...youre going to have your heart broken once in awhile. get use to it.

7/5/2006 9:32:39 AM

^ God your an asshole. and you talk too much. and you dont know when to quit.
And you aren't helping me a bit with your comments. at all. and you still cant sing.
or is it not criticism when I say it?

7/5/2006 9:36:44 AM

i dont care if you think i can or cant sing. youre entitled to think so. im not going to cry about it.

7/5/2006 9:45:02 AM

^ then why the fuck did you take all the time and energy to post so may links to your SHIT in my thread?


Dont answer that...I know you just want attention.

7/5/2006 9:46:02 AM

I like my singing...i like to listen to it. I also talk to hear myself talk. If I could Id suck my dick right now.

7/5/2006 9:47:39 AM

just forget it.

Heh, in defense of Ben, ive heard him play and jammed with him. he's a pretty good guitarist and writes some interesting stuff.

However, those recordings do sound like crap.

7/5/2006 3:45:32 PM

Thanx Ian...been a while...wanna jam?
btw, the Jack up the ripper track on myspace is a live recording from ruckus pizza's sound board,
if that changes anything.

i too cannot see why anyone would even want to hear that shit! or even try to understand what they are saying

7/5/2006 6:10:04 PM

METAL IS FOR DOUSHE BAGS

7/5/2006 6:12:16 PM

7/5/2006 6:21:15 PM

im from nyc not no hick. music like that still sucks

7/5/2006 6:22:18 PM

but if you like it and like playing it have at it!

7/5/2006 6:23:38 PM

^saw that you liked country...I shouldnt have assumed...my bad.
and I will keep playing it. even if some here dont like it.


STILL NEED A BASSIST AND SINGER!

7/5/2006 7:09:17 PM

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ But...You don't have my number.

7/7/2006 1:10:44 PM

7/8/2006 3:14:27 AM

anybody else have something negative to say? anybody else wanna just mindlessly bash me, and my
life's joy? c'mon assholes. This is all you have to say? bunch of e-pussys. not a godamn one of you have teh balls to show up and show me up. I wanna see all these wonderful musicians that are so much better than me. This was a simple musician wanted ad. Just let it die, K?
