Played guitar and sang (shouted) in a rubbish punk band with my two best mates when i was about 15/16. We were called the Genuine Fakes and wrote classics such as fuck me and suck my dick! Our greatest moment was playing a gig at my local pub and everyone from school coming and getting wasted, 2 riot vans turned up and pissed kids ran for their lives!

I've had the post hardcore vs emo conversation about 32 million times.

really? the emo from the late 90s I was into for a couple years like American Football and Get Up Kids had absolutely no traces of "hardcore". I know these days the terms are sort of one and the same though..guess you mean semi-recent conversations.

Been trying to start a metal band, but all the people I know are into metalcore, and no one listens to anything semi-decent around here, so every band I've been in has been some sub-par cliche metalcore band. Been kicked out every time because I "didn't want to play what everyone else did" and I didn't "hold a rhythm and groove down by following the rhythm guitar"
So basically since I was better than everyone I played with, which is a fact, not me being a cocky asshole, because I'm not that good at bass, but I'm a better songwriter than having a shit ton of guitar riffs over chords, wailing on the drums in a futile attempt to keep time, too high to do proper vocals, fill the whole song up with as much as possible then try to muddy up the song with too much bass... songwriting is an art, one too many people in the metal scene do not understand.

[Artie_Fufkin]

Piano, Jazz on my Saxaphone, etc.

Before I was into electronic music(it's definitely not a phase for me!), I played drums and guitar a lot, played with a few different groups of people but nothing was ever really that serious. The biggest commitment we ever had was playing the talent show at our high school each year. Our math teacher sang Sabbath, Metallica(she could do Slayer wails like a pro!!), GNR, Van Halen, etc. songs with us. On my own, I had different phases of wanting to do this and that, but never really finished much unless..until I got into my experimental phase(under the influences of Brian Eno, Merzbow, Boris, SunnO))) ) Made a lot of weird things strictly in audacity.
Then I started reading about different genres of edm on wikipedia and Jungle/DnB/Breakcore sounded appealing so I listened to that, loved it, and wanted to do some breakcore myself. Then my friend introduced me to Joker, Downlink, etc. and I thought "wobble bass and drums, easy enough" . And I found this place and I lurked on here for about a year and I've been addicted to producing ever since!

I'm joining a metalcore band on drums and I hope to apply what I've learned to help them mix songs.

I was into metal a ton in high school. For my computers project I had to make a song in a midi program, and then a video to go with it. I uploaded it a while back for the LOLs. It managed me a 90+ % if I remember right.

[cmgoodman1226]

I was in a punk/ ska band in highschool. First we were called skagina and then The Fashionables. I played trombone. We were all really talented at our perspective instruments, but as a band we were shit.

I was an acoustic singer/songwriter. Did it for ages, never got anywhere and listening back now it's no wonder. I mean the songs are good, but the recordings and arrangements are awful

I think I might re-record them, hmmmm.

I would post a link but Myspace seems to have deleted all the songs off my page and there's no way I'm re-upping them.

I made this in Uni at the time though, still quite pleased with it, think I'm better at instrumental music, ha...

I'm the one humping the sex doll on the left Immature days
