I have a couple of Friends who went with me all the way to see Children of Bodom in London once (13 hour bus journey) in 2005. whole crowd were metal heads, by the time we went and saw them again in london in 2008, all these "scene kids" and "emo's" in the audience. Frankly i couldn't care less about what kind of people were there, as far as i was concerned they were Bodom fans, end of. and now my mates doin't like Bodom now because they're "too mainstream". I thought music was about listening...not a fuckin popularity contest...:S Keeping it real is a priority, but in my opinion all this selling out and commercializing is Bollocks. is it just me, or do a lot of bands Hate the likes of Metallica now just because they are really popular??

I'm really hard on myself and so was our other guitarist and we would both junk riffs we thought were sub-standard all the time. Well one day our vocalist, who could also play guitar, came up with a riff he thought we should try out. It sounded cool on it's own but nothing would ever come of it because it was so odd. when we decided to axe it he threw the biggest bitch fit and took it to another band, who also ended up rejecting it lol.... whata bitch.

This or that style of music sucks, what could I possibly learn from it? Or, I'm playing in three other bands outside of school so my school band has to take a distant second... I'm a good guitar player, and this is an easy song. I don't need to rehearse it with you guys, I'll just show up and play... All of these attitudes really aggrivate me... Especially when people talk shit about jazz and country... Both genres have MONSTER players in them, and offer a lot to learn for whatever your style is. And I'm even one of those people that doesn't like country... BTW: the new Muse album does kick some serious ass! I’ve had some interesting obsevations of ego at the music school I go to.

Like free rent for the band?

Good gear?

Live room?

Or is it just his laziness?

I think I just ruined my pants... and new Daath in the works too?! Next year already looks good! Agreeing between all parties that the music comes before ego is a prerequisite for me. If you have to end up axing a favorite part, just save it for something else. When I've had to ax some of my parts, I swallowed my pride and gave it a chance. Though it took longer to "get used to" than had I not written the axed part, it was far more times than not the call to make. Of course if I was really stuck to the part, an effort on all fronts to make it work after all was needed to either salvage it or prep for severing. Cutting a part without really giving it some tweaks or a real chance can be a wrong move. As long as the band chemistry is right and people are in it to make music and not inflate heads, I'd think few things could backfire. You, Emil and Reinert?!

For some reason many bands feel that giving an outsider any power over their music equates to selling out or commercializing.

Glad you dig the blog. About your band's issues... did you guys hire the studio dudes to produce you guys or just record you? Its two different jobs that require a different kind of involvement. If you hire someone to produce its their job to chop up your songs if he/she feels that's what's needed. Thanks man. Glad you dig the blog.

I think that recordings don't even begin to capture how epic they really are About producers... well... some bands need a dictator because they either have shitty communication internally OR they suck Some bands need just a psuedo band member with an opinion who can work the gear. I like that scenario better Have you ever seen Muse live? I think that recordings don’t even begin to capture how epic they really are

Talk about feeling pathetic. The only thing that made it survivable was the amount of meds I was on. Afterwards I had round the clock painkillers and it was difficult to get off them but I did. Restarting myself was definitely some hard work. The hospital experience was 100 percent terrible. Talk about feeling pathetic. The only thing that made it survivable was the amount of meds I was on.
