Ok, me and a mate are on a mission to reclaim rock from pantywaist nu-metallers with turntables and little boys in baseball caps.
We have drums (me) and guitar (him).
What we need are another guitarist and a bass player.
And a vocalist, although the ability to shout without breaking off into coughs is more important than holding a tune.
Think Fudge Tunnel/Soulfly/Nailbomb/Pantera/Biohazard style of "ROCK" with much grimacing and angry standing with legs wide apart on stage.
I have Parker for my sensitive guitar side, now I want some men to rock like men and appeal to my savage nature.
Or, as mate put it "Music to hurt yourself to".
Essex Area essential for get togethers/drinking/fighting like rock men.
Snuggly, monkeyman, I'm looking at you.
Do not desert your rock when it needs saving from ponces

Lists of names so we can start, must reek of rock.
Just start throwing any suggestions out, I'll start and then we can all agree which has the required Oomph:
Headf--k
Pure Rock Fury
Smoke Banshee
Mouth for War
Tribal Warfare
Binge & Purge
Massive Killer Dog
I'm tired now so I'm going to bed to dream of watching us clear an entire venue in less than 5 songs because their eyes burst and rectums collapse from the almighty rumblings we will create.

Perfect.
Headf--k or (courtesy of a Clutch song)
"PURE ROCK FURY"
I have been listening to rock music all evening and forcing my boys to play it as well.
And we need rock titles.
Clutch currently rule with the following:
Who Wants To Rock?
Pure Rock Fury
Big Fat Pig
Smoke Banshee
You see these names and you know what you're going to get served up.
Not "Rollin'" or "N 2 Together Now"
Bunch of musty, non-rock pants.
Nobody doubts Prong, Helmet, Cop Shoot Cop, Pantera etc.
There are serious rock dudes that will never do some poncy song about having to tidy your room up and isn't mum nasty?
Fun that.
Men with guitars (low slung, mind), black t-shirts and the will to commit aural assault in the name of ROCK
So, choose your weapon and climb into the ROCK pool.
I am drums, Hooplah is guitar.
Take your pic and start to practice the rock-lock hand salutes.
For by Xmas we begin....THE ROCK.
*breaking the law...breaking the law*

What about 'Headf*ck'?
Yes, yes, yes!!! *Plays ultra high pitched widdle on invisible guitar*
Right, we're getting it together then.
We need a ROCK name, something that is on a poster and you won't mistake it for some rubbish hair-rock nu-metal crap.
Suggestions from my boys tonight during tea break include:
Headpunch
Scattergun
Donkey Punch
An*l Saracen (not too sure on that one but I like it)
F--k Off (I like this one)
3-4 minute sludgy wall-of-noise hate music.
*rallying call to the troops*
For too long now, rock has been the domain of girly bands that sing about how rubbish school is, with nice keyboards and turntable effects.
Nobody makes angry music anymore, it's all boy-band with tattoo rubbish like Linkin Park (and they ARE rubbish by the way), or teen angst bullsheet like Limp Wristflick.
I want heavy, full-force rock that makes the audience's bowels collapse and dogs keel over 2 miles away.
Think Nailbomb.
Think Pantera
Think angry, original rock that made you want to slam off the walls and eat garage sandwiches and throw the wrapper out of the window.
It's time to rock gentlemen.

Hm, only starting playing, thus, I suck. But hey, tell me if you play The Square, I'll get over there..
I've got a mini fender amp (mini as in 20x15cm!) that can really wail. And a big hefty Peavey amp. Nothing special. I'm lucky that I do Audio Tech at Uni, so I have unlimited use of studio recording equipment. I play a Fender Tele mainly, but I also have an Epiphone Les Paul and Flying V. I went mental one year and spent most of my wages on guitars - the most I had at one point was 7! Why? I don't know. Seems pointless now as I only really use the Tele. I can play a bit of Sax also, aswell as piano, flute, drums and a smidgen of clarinet.
I have a sax-a-phone.
I can't play no jazz.

My DD-5 has a reverse delay feature. Its pretty cool. Although I am on the lookout for a Roland Space Echo at some point cos I've yet to hear a delay like it.
My Cry Baby was a Jim Dunlop. I found I had huge signal loss through it so I got in touch with Roger Meyer to have his upgrade. I remember when I first spoke to him, I was so nervous. This was the guy who had a hand in defining Hendrix's sound.. it was mad. He was a bit of an acid casualty mind you.
What amps you use?
