    My ex actually left our video camera here at the house, do I'm going to start making HD videos of me playing along with my favourite songs. Any requests that you think I would like to do?

    Btw GxS, do you have iMessage?

    F*ck it's so nice to have the net back at my own house again Hahahaha. Just wish my wife didn't have my laptop >.<

    Anyways, going to be recording myself playing along with songs for fun, using my iPod in my guitar amp, and using an actual digital camcorder. So, Balu`, GxS, and beyond, care to make some requests? Decent at the guitar, can play almost any rhythm, avoiding some more complex leads (particularly sweep picking). But I'll do whatever. Just name it. This will be fun ^.^

    Ah ok... I'll drop a request:

    Last minute of Song of the Storm by Insomnium! (or from ~3:32 onwards).
    No Freedom by Nancial.

    I'll post more tmr... got a not-so-serious stomach ache while volunteering for a local event but it was bad enough to have some lingering effects.

    Patrolled 300 metres of road and paced it end to end a few times. Now my feet hurts like they've been flattened.

    love that song... I will only be doing songs in their entirety though, but I'd be more than happy to do that song first ^.^

    I'll learn it right now (it's about 3am my time ATM) and I'll record it tomorrow if I can =D

    Finally! :>

    Hm.. DTB - Sunset to begin with. Doesn't sound like it's particularly hard, but I'd love to hear that. :x

    Ah and that video with your son was cute. :#

    I simply have to post this.. A re-recorded, semi-orchestral version of And Then There Was Silence.

    It would appear that Booch is still as inactive despite having access to internet at home...

    Seems like that, but I still have hope that he'll post a little more often. :x

    Have you made any progress with the genre of progmetal?:>

    :rolleyes:

    Nup. I find prog to be kinda boring in general, unless it's mixed with my preferred genres.

    I could use some power metal like Theocracy though. I didn't find their latest album to be as sublime as Mirrors of Souls though.

    Too bad, but I'll still keep on recommending some stuff. :X

    Try the album Reckoning Night by Sonata Arctica. It's the somewhat proggy, very melodic kind of power metal, you might like it. Try the song 'White Pearl, Black Oceans' for sure!

    W/e, keep the recommendations coming :D. Hopefully I'll pick up something that I like from time to time.

    Ok, that song was quite good. The vocals are enjoyable just as they're supposed to be. However, the ending is absolutely despicable.

    Is this supposed to sound like Theocracy? Or similar but inferior?

    Yeah, I hope you will too. :x

    I personally like the ending, it fits the rest of the song. :X

    It isn't supposed to sound similar, it's just within the same genre, so there are similarities. Whatever people might say, power metal is a pretty diverse genre.
    Also, it is in no way inferion to Theocracy. They focus more on having a.. huge sound, SA focus on the subtle things.

    Check out the album Vendetta by Celesty. It's top notch symphonic power metal, maybe star with the songs 'Euphoric Dream' or 'New Sin'.

    Sorry for not posting guys. Been... well busy as shit to be honest. Being a single daddy is going to be hard >.<

    In other news though, got a few songs recorded, including "Song of the Storm" by Insomnium, "Sunset" by Dev Townsend and "The Hunter" by Iced Earth. The only problem is, I haven't uploaded them yet because my ex-wife has my Laptop >.<

    So once I get those extracted, I will get them up asap.

    Meh, I hope I'll never experience that, so I'll have to trust you on this one. :Đ

    I'm looking forward to hearing those. :x

    Mmm, have you checked out the old-new BG song I posted?

    Yeah take it from me, it blows. hahahaha I went to bed last night about 12:30am, and my son woke up at 1:45am and didn't ever go back to bed!!! hahaahahaha I'm f*cking exhausted. On the more positive side though, he is a wonderful child and I love him to death. He just wears me out >.< hahahaha

    Yeah I am stoked to put them up, and to do more. =D

    Yeah I just checked it out. F*cking amazing.

    I guess in perspective, I'm not that tired... :ĐĐ

    Agreed, it's pretty nice, but I'm not sure which version I like more. :x

    Hm, Anneke Van Giersbergen's new album is out. It's pretty standard mainstreamish altrock, but it's damn catchy and I love her voice.. Worth checking out.

    hahahahaha fortunately though, I just loaded up on probably a good 200+mgs of caffine, so I am feeling great. At least for another few hours.

    I actually like the new version more. I love the old one, but my god this sounds miraculous.

    I'll check it out then! She's an odd cookie, but I do like her voice.

    I went home for lunch and recorded "Chaosweaver" by Scar Symmetry, but I messed up at the end, so I think I am going to rerecord it. So can't wait to post these songs up. I'm having so much fun.

    And I may get my acoustic back from my brother and try and get that acoustic cover of "Storm" by you-know-who going again. Still suck at singing that part at the end >.< so no idea what to do there.

    That's a... healthy solution! :Đ

    Haha, I like that the old one is more focused on the guitar.

    Tell me what you think! :>

    Not really familiar with Scar Symmetry, so only one question - how in hell do you learn these songs so quickly?:x

    Hmm, I would help you if.. y'know, I could sing. >.< Anyway, when I'm bored, listening to that song (and of course alone at home), I'm pretty fine with that part too. :x
