Has slipknot disbanded?
I know it's worth a wait...but i'm starting to wonder if they'll ever find someone.
Are you implying Corey Taylor as the new VR frontman?
I think that would be eventual.
He would be involved in three bands then though lol
#355 Re: The Garden » Song Writing Thread » 908 weeks ago
Thanks dude. What I do is I think about my life or events I have gone through and I start putting it to song then I have a good sense of melody so I can put my feelings into words and find the melody in what I want to write or get across.
Write what you feel or about an event that happened to you or a friend or family member. I have a few with a religious topic and some about dirty women and I do have songs about heartbreak and love too. A lot of the songs bout drug use and anger. It just all depends on what you want to say really. Start with an idea and start playing on it with other words and phrases so it flows together and keeps on topic.
I liked what you posted. It flowed nicely and I was able to attach a simple melody to the words as I read them.
Yeah. I mean I use a Stephen King style of writing lol. I'll get an image or a line that just pops into my head and so I write it down. Usually I can add alot to it, but sometimes It'll just be like one or two lines so I just save it and come back to it.
I find it weird but alot of the songs I write usually are based around a melody of another song. But I always forget that melody after i write and then end up coming up with an original one lol

The current economy definitely plays a role in sales, but people WILL pay for music they like. While you are correct in saying the current generation has grown up on getting free downloads, the labels never offered them anything else. This is why it has to be embraced, because we are in the midst of a generation that doesn't give two shits about a compact disc being sold for $16.99.
As a small part of the current generation I have to say your right James.
I have to say that most of my friends don't buy music, and haven't in the last few years. Although I'm as guilty as they are on that front, I will buy music if I like it. There's something about having the cd, that gives it a different listening experience to me...

Giving BEP's The E.N.D. a listen. Maybe It'll hold up to their old stuff. Maybe...

It doesn't ween anybody off. It just increases cigarette consumption. Like when you have a pack of Camel lights, you smoke them twice as quickly as you would a pack of full flavor.
I don't think anybody has pointed this out but it makes cigs more deadly to current smokers. It means you get twice as much of a chance of lung cancer since you'd be smoking double.
Hrm...didn't see the second page.
At least It'll give the government more money...Oh, wait that won't work...they'll just have to give it back to us with more "bailouts"
#359 Re: The Garden » Song Writing Thread » 908 weeks ago
See that's my problem BLS. Since I'm trying to do this whole band thing I've been writing alot. I think it comes with new experiences, and just having more free time, but I haven't put music to any of them yet. I've got a notebook about half full right now. I don't know how to go about putting music to them though. I mean what do I start with? Writing a melody?
And btw, those are amazing lyrics, both of you
Wish my writing was that good.
And also either of you have anything to recommend on variety? Most of the songs I've wrote lately seem to center on love or heartbreak. And occasionaly anger.
Oh and here's another one. I've actually got a few verse riffs I'm messing around with for this one. It's gonna have some gritty Pantera-esque vocals.
Dead hearts all around you
you tried to read it but the teardrops hide it
you tried to see but those blood stains on the window blur the light.
who do you think cares about you
those who picks you up or
those who run you into the ground
[Chorus]
You think you've seen it all
You think you've won the war
You ain't seen a damn thing
You need to step out the door
[Chorus]
I've tried to be the calm one
bottle up the need to hurt somebody
I need to clear these feelings
before I just snap
Who do you think I am
I'm not some mindless soldier
Look at you run away now
scared of your own shadow
