"Your Bands?"

Just wondering really, who here is part of a band?

What sort of music you play and have you had gigs and stuff.

I've been in a band a few months, we're called High Decline, doing some metally/rock sort of thing, it's really quite good fun.

[URL]http://www.purevolume.com/highdecline[/URL] There's a recording on there (low quality, I appoligise) would be cool to get a little feedback from you.

and yes, that's my strangled-cat vocals.

Always used Marshall.

I think our bassist is sponsored by Marshall and Stagg. Or a fanboy. Whatever

You can't really say any amp "sounds" better than another since it's all subjective. Getting an amp because lots of pros use it doesn't mean it will suit your style or provide the sound you want.

IMO Orange amps are absolute sex but others will probably disagree.

I'm afraid you're wrong. Apart from the fact that a stck of Marshall's is INFINITELY more rock n roll than any other amp, which famous artists use Laney exclusively??? Marshall users on the other hand include Jimi Hendrix, Slash, Zakk Wylde, Metallica, Kerry King, Jimmy Page, and hundreds more I cant be bothered to listen. They must use em for a reason!!

Me and my mates are trying to start a band, but no one can really be bothered at the moment.

One of my best mates is in one, they're doing pretty well as well.

It's a "dynamic" mic which means you've gotta sing right into it or it wont pic you up, so yeah, sort of have to. I do it sexily though.

Heh awesome, I'm the vocalist :-)

I'm afraid Laney are better. I got my 40 watter for 30 greens off some suspicous 'carnie' type. He probably half-inched it off the back of a lorry, but hey, I haven't been charged.

:D

The vocalist is ok, but the guitar??? Sounds like it coming out of one of those 10 Watt amps you get free with the guitars from Argos!! Tell the boy to buy himself a Marshall, that'll set him straight :)

Sounds like you recorded it instrumental and dubbed the vocals over the top.
HUGE difference in quality there.

Sounds alright though.
She's got quite a voice.

Doesn't always make a difference. I had the name 'Filter' before a certain American band did, my first release was even under that name... but because they had significantly more legal clout than me, I wasn't exactly going to argue...
