Metallica sounded good.
Would of lost my shite when they played Hit the Lights and The Four Horsemen.

Melbourne Metalcore band - probably not to the taste of some *cough* but if you like the style there's a good chance you'll enjoy this

Tonight's set was a good deal weirder.

Agother solid set, but I was sitting with the great unwashed (as opposed to being front row) so it was a bit annoying. Metallica played Fight Fire with Fire and I went MENTAL.. but no one else in my block of seats seemed to know the song. I was the only one standing up and headbanging. They then played NEM and Sandman and everyone else went nuts, except for me. Then they played Whiplash and again I was the only one going hard. Really irritating!

Definitely a 'fans only' sort of set, a few rarities and odd deep cuts. Orion, Through the Never, No Leaf Clover (which worked far better than I expected). Rob absolutely killed it in Orion; in general I was surprised just how, well, beautiful the dual lead Thin Lizzy-ripping section turned out. Day that Never Comes worked far better live than I thought it would, whereas Cyanide was worse than I thought it'd be. My Apocalypse sounds a million times better live than it does on record, particularly once they get the first two choruses out of the way. Thrash break bit sounded mental. Good performances by all band members.. I definitely had a good time but next time Metallica drop by it's either standing room front and centre or no show for me, I think.

Set (whacky order here):

That was just your life
Cyanide (why??? Sad )
Harvester of Sorrow
Disposable Heroes (this crushed)
One
My Apocalypse (far more intense than you'd expect)
Through the Never
Sad but True
The Day that Never Comes
Orion
Master of Puppets
No Leaf Clover
Fight Fire with Fire (song of the night along with Whiplash)
Nothing Else Matters
Enter Sandman

Whiplash (far tighter than I thought it'd be)
Stone Cold Crazy
Seek and Destroy

Bummed at the lack of Creeping Death.

Went to some crank it up thing last night.. Just like 3 hours of intense screamo. Was alright when last band came on- Cow Town

Ah sweet. It was a pretty good show. We played in a town called Bunbury, 2 hours south of Perth

[sundaytripz]

That's wicked man. You guys got any tunes online? Wouldn't mind giving the old ears something new to listen to

x2 would be mad to hear something from one of the forum crew kidcrash.
diesel had a link up ages ago and it was pretty cool knowing it was one of the lads here.

It's not a great quality recording but we recorded the demo ourselves due to lack of funds haha.
We play post-hardcore/hardcore i guess.
Probably not everyone's cup of tea but let me know what you think, any kind of reaction, whether it be positive or negative, is better than no reaction in my books

Also i would be real keen to hear other members music if anyone has any links?

Thanks guys

P.S .i play guitar

[meaksy]

Had a quick listen to some of em. Sounds allright kidcrash, not exactly my cup of tea but i dont mind the vocals and the guitars sound pretty tight.
I did have a little giggle at the snare sound, i swear thats the same sound as a wooden spoon on a pot makes
How have you recorded that, Was it a single room mic and played live.
If you're low of cash for recording grab some of the free software for recording music, check out audacity or n- track, there are more out there and theyre easy to use, free, and will get you a better sounding product.

Hahaha yeah i totally agree about the snare sound. it's a bit poppy/snappy if that makes sense?
Our drummer accidentally hit the snare mic out of position when we were recording drums and the rest of the guys seemed to like the way it sounded after that.
We mic'd up the snare, toms, hi-hat and kick drum all separately, and i think we used a single mic overhead for the cymbals/crash/china.

I think we used Cubase? I don't know a whole lot about software and mixing and whatnot but i'm looking forward to learning.
I'm hoping to record my own projects in the future just as soon as i get a little tighter on drums

Thanks for checking it out and thanks for the suggestions with the software.
I already have audacity but have been to lazy to start learning how to use it


Do you play Meaksy? Link me if you have some stuff up somewhere

[sundaytripz]

I'll have to suss it out when I get home kid - no sound on the work computers. Look forward to hearing it but!

If you guys have access to a powerful mac get your hands on Logic. In terms of production it's suuuuch a powerful/versitile program. I used to use Cubase before I was introduced by my housemate

[meaksy]

I used to play in a band quite a few years ago and gigged round adelaide but have mainly done solo stuff and made dodgy recordings at home. Heaps of fun, I took down my stuff earlier this year so i cant link you up. Havent had much time to record anything of late, but having two little tackers will do that to you
Keep it up and keep sharing ya tunes.

[doclach]

good onya for sharing kidc, if you get around to tidying up your drum sounds like Meaksy said, and up the recording quality a tad, with you and the bands permission I'll soundtrack it to some GoPro vid one day for kicks, with full band credit of course, lemme know if that's cool with you(will have to get some heavy footage to go with it though, haha
