metal is best when you can't understand a word they're saying.
the drowning by anata is a great example.. i can't understand a fucking word the guy is saying.. i've read the lyrics, they're pretty well done but really, he could just be making sounds for all i know or care, it's a great fucking song with one of the greatest metal riffs ever written (2:43) The coolest thing about that riff is that it uses polyphony.. really, it's like an old fugue. harmony always fascinated me, and once i figured out how it all worked it was like a new world was opened up.. which is the exact feeling i get from polyphony, which just begs to be used in death metal more. I think anata did a really good job incorporating it.
supposedly my cab is getting replaced.. who fucking knows, but if so i might just be able to snag up a drummer that was mentioned to me from a guy i met at a party not too long ago.
i finished an album for my last project that i'm completely bored and uninterested in now. i recorded a few songs, basically scrapped the rest. it was good shit, but didn't quite have i'm looking for.
i've set my washburn to c#, sounds great.. i love the 81/85, there's just nothing that comes close. even the new 81tw 89's are.. dunno.. they seem to be less mid friendly. my washburn is showing its age.. eventually i want a custom guitar with the same exact fretboard.. i've never played on anything that even remotely comes close to the feel of that one, even with it warping.
i've set up my schecter in e.. i had a bad experience with a guitar shop, so i'm doing everything myself from now it.. better that i fuck shit up than some other asshole. i need to find a pair of strings that work.. i need a thumpy muted sorta feel, not too thick, not too thin..and not uncomfortably tight. i'll probably tune it down to c# too once i get good strings.. i'd settle for d though if i had to.. god damn floyd rose, such a pain in the ass.
i let a friend borrow my strat, he pretty much destroyed it. that's the last fucking time i ever let anyone borrow my music shit.. it's just not worth it. i said he should just buy the fucker from me, but he's a sack of shit so he won't, he's not getting it fixed either, it's been a few weeks now.. fucker, oh well.. no good deed goes unpunished.
i quit smoking a few days ago.. it's never been this easy. i have a contract with a buddy, whoever smokes again gets kicked in the balls by two people within five hours. so.. fuck smoking.
my insomnias getting pretty bad again.. it's 9:34am and i haven't slept yet. bleh
