Aw crap..... On the 31st is LAN 08 at Gamer's Hideout.................
I will be in the Guitar Hero tourney there........
Which I know I'm better at then REAL guitar.......

Will see how......

No, you have to go. I've thought of asking you...

2 guitar amps ?

1 song max 3 mins? thats abit short.

thnk god my punk songs would be less than 2 or 3 mins. haha.

Dude, how my band gonna play? Metal songs are lengthy, haha. And how many amps (what amps also)?

maybe u guyz can cut out abit...
maybe cut out a verse... n stuff... lolx...

so short?

and instrumental can?

one song only right?

idk if they can judge that easy by just one song right?

ive sent my registration! yay!

now i just have to take day off from work that day.

Agree that 3 mins abit short.
Heck, everyone knows that an Epic is nothing under 7 minutes...... and that's just the solo!

And don't think I'll participate because I don't have a band
Unless Led_Zep, EchoB, MoNny and Party2Dmax wants to start one......

Ok! Now let's make a song list!
Open suggestions to everyone else.

I suggest playing tunes that would be instantly recognizable.

Maybe a verse or two of Enter Sandman, Mario Theme music, Welcome To The Jungle, Final Fantasy, and close with the final verse of Through the fire and the Flames......

This post has been edited by blacktrix: Apr 27 2008, 10:21 AM

yes it has to be instantly recognizable. anyways, this is a public forum, wanna discuss the song list on msn?

I've tried to email regarding the amps... it's not stated how many are provided.
No reply yet.

eh eh eh. . . swt
=.=

don't put words in my mouth la

rofl

you all decide the list, i try it out, then if i can we meet up jam then see how things go from there?

song you all kau tim. . .

im happy to play backing. . .

We need your awesome sweepings......... to sweep the competition..... gettit????

blacktrix, i'll try things out after my exams finish which is about a few more days. also will have to check my schedule. might be involved in another production so it means lotsa rehearsals for me.

im still confused. how many songs to be played? one or more?

how many songs can u put into 3 mins?

now that's a LOL. haha. oh well. sticking to one song of 3 mins.

Don't worry man. I still have like, 3 more weeks before my classes (and uni) is officially over.

medley is a good idea. what abt some tracks from X-japan? that would be a crowd favourite.

btw who can sing?

erm, no updates from organisers?

I'm interested, but what's with this rule man? Most songs run well over 3 minutes, unless you're talking about the ramones.

lets gogogogog i am ready to rock ;p

if one song is 1 mili-second,




i think can put banyak ba

as long as it is done in a 'respectable' manner as you could be charged if you dont. respectable is VERY subjective. imo, Malaysia is not the US where they can play the national anthem with electric guitars and all.

u must be kidding if u insult the song u will send straight to jail

2)Manuk 85 - cover song Rancid song or our own song. [ Punk ]

How about others like official LYN band - Team Blacktrix (they got a very otai bassist woo ) etc.. rock on mates!

+ if we do cover songs.. i think it would be better if we can mention it here(so we dont repeat the same sound).. hehe.. just opinion

just wanna confirm with sir gapnap wether you still want to play beat it

is team blacktrix still on?

currently i have 2 gigs scheduled on 31 may which is on the 2nd day of the comp. dont think its possible to put 3 gigs into a day. lol. can still play if its on the first day though if you want me to.

Nope. team BlacktriX is off. No time to practice. My uni is dragging on much much much longer. Bloddy lecturers!

nway it feels really good and honour to get both of you replying *as you two is the big name in this thread n forum
