    Default Failure Figure

    My Band Failure Figure is a Horror Punk band with songs based around B-Horror movies, vampires Zombies, and so on. We are influenced by bands you probably havent heard of, like The Crimson Ghost, The rezurex, and our Favorite Horror Punk band Blitzkid. Were excited cause we're going to the studio in 2 weeks to record our demo. When we get it done I'l give ya a link to the website. We have songs recorded but if I showed them to you youd think less of me, lol.
    Weve been recording on the singers lil 8 track and Ive been putting down drumtracks 1st with no metronome. Thats really hard for me but thats how the studio does it.
    WE play local shows and have a good bit of fans. One of the happiest moments in the band was when we opened for this really awesome and popular metal band and almost everyone left AFTER we played.I was stoked.
    That was way to long,

    Well I just got in from playing a party, it went great!! Atleast the first half did. WE were playing and a mosh pit started and it was the most brutal mosh pit that Ive ever seen. On about the 7th song my snare started losing its "snare sound", throughout the entire song it got worse and worse and then it was like the snare wasnt even on. I played through it and I think I noticed it more than anyone else but it was torture for the rest of the show. But it went well and we played our best.

    Cool Failure Figure

    So far, I wouldn't say it's a failure ...in this case, bro', the wait was worth it!

    "Second Chance"--great slow groove at the start, then you jolt everyone awake...that "hey! hey! hey!" sounds like a pack of mad dogs, but in the context of the song, it's great!

    "Behind This Mask"--sounds like you borrowed some of your guitar shredding from the theme music to "King of the Hill," and it fits perfectly...

    "Lost at Sea"--sounds like you really are (in a good way--the guitars sound like someone thrashing around in the water for help) ... great break at the end, and those finishing ruffs were right on...

    And your drummin' ties it all together...you're drivin' especially hard on "Lost at Sea," but you're kickin' on all three...

    Dudes, you rock!
    keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!

    Thanks alot man, Im really glad you enjoyed them. It gives me a good feeling in the stomach hearing that.

    Well I dont know about the fill it just happened, but Ill try to break it down.
    I did 16ths on the double bass, and subdiveded the toms in between. SO it cam out 32s... Your compliments have made my day.

    No problem, dude.

    Sorry if I'm being irritating with it, I'm just really trying to master these fills, mine sound a little off since I'm self taught lol.
    Is it this type of pattern in 32nds you're doing: KKRLKKRLKKRL...
    Or this type: KKRLRLKKRLRLKKRLRL... that's the one I'm having trouble with.

    Your not irritating me at all man thats why the site is here. Thats the bases of it but I did it a lil different.

    KRKLKRKLKRKLKRKL

    WHen we first wrote the song I couldnt do the fill. I had it in my head but I couldnt get it.

    If you take the double bass out of the equation it helps alot. Try this for a while till you get it fast then that fill will be nothing.

    I hope that helped, I suck at explaining stuff

    Oh and If I didnt already tell you guys, Im the one doing the back up vocals to.

    Cool, I dig it. I played a lot of hardcore/skate rock in the 80's. Been a big Misfits fan since about 25 years ago!!!
    Hmmm so you played a show w/Michael Graves solo acoustic? That's weird, did he actually play Misfits songs?!?!

    Well we were supposed to open and he didnt show up. Apparently he has a bad habit of it. I dont have a bit of respect for anyone of the misfits. He does play Misfits songs in his acoustic set but only form his era. Hope you liked our tunes thou were going to do a full length this summer.
