Thanks Ultra Magnus
I've never heard of Lacuna Coil but I'll look them up.

I was thinking along the lines of "This is My Dream" off of their debut EP.
I'm not too familiar with anything they've done since their first album (except for that one track that was in Guitar Hero), so while some of their more recent stuff might still sound like that, don't blame me if it doesn't.

This might sound creepy and kinky, but can I watch rehearsals?

You say "creepy and kinky" almost like it's a bad thing.

Some people tend to frown upon it.

I'd supply vocals (lead and/or backup,) but my recording situation isn't exactly good. I only have a few cheap mics with crappy quality.

Well, when you've got a better situation, do let us know

Well, we won't really have rehearsals as a group due to lag and other issues. As a group, we'll have band meetings in which we write songs, discuss the band name and other such stuff.

I'll start a poll and if we get enough votes for yes, then of course you (and others) can join in and listen

(just listen, unfortunately - it's going to be hard enough having 6-7 people talking

) - BAND MATES CAN VOTE HERE: http://host1.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=43828

ATTENTION BAND:

We've already got one person who cannot make it this Friday: what should we do? Should we cancel or meet anyways? What if we have 2 people who can't come? Please throw in your opinion(s)!

Snake · Thu 24/02/2011 13:03:17

Like I just got done writing to Dan, hold the meeting whether I'm there or not. It is now looking more likely that I will be there since the in-laws are NOT coming (they were supposed to be here tomorrow around noon until Sunday).

Wyz · Thu 24/02/2011 16:14:07

Ok, I am available at:

15:00-16:00
19:00-3:00 (but not continuously obviously )

noavana · Fri 25/02/2011 09:00:59

I can make it.
see you all tonight

Snake · Fri 25/02/2011 14:58:57

I have to admit I was excited to have it at 10am and now a little bummed that it is now 3pm. In a whole though, it is better for everyone else... especially Ultra Magnus, heh. I think the time for him was 3AM

Hopefully I can be there. Wife's gonna be home at that time. I can see it not working out very well - she'll want to play WiiFit, Sam (my daughter) will want to watch a movie and Amy (a.k.a. "Dennis the Dogs") will be constantly "tap dancing" all over the laminate floor because she's excited for Kristen to be home... gah.... all this being in the same room as the computer... maybe I can get her to bring Sam and Amy downstairs.

I agree with Chicky, that is absolutely lovely!

As I said, I'm very happy that it's possible that you can make it. Do all you can, but of course, family comes first.

Also, from the poll, I gather we can have guests who just LISTEN to the meeting? Shall I publicly announce it?

Oh god... you're making this harder for the socially impaired (me).

Damn you, Shiver!
You stole my idea!
I've been wanting to set up something like this for months, but have been waiting until I have better internet, and maybe a keyboard.

Still can't really do it, unfortunately, but I'd love to be kept in the loop how this is working out.

I thought of something like this years ago

. I am sure many more members on here has had the same idea too

.

ShiverMeSideways · Fri 25/02/2011 19:16:17

I dunno if the guests thing is going to happen - not everyone has voted and I'm not sure about everyone's opinion about it. It all seems a sketchy, and besides, it's the first meet, we dunno if anything interesting is going to take place

.

In unrelated news ONE HOUR LEFT. I'm already on Skype and I'll also be available on IRC. I'll also be around on the forums.

Snake · Fri 25/02/2011 22:49:25

Dan, I believe I will take the first solo... the second one is a little too much for me

I could, of course improvise if need be, but, it'll sound like ass.

\\--EDIT--//
This is NOT acoustic, right?

Nope, it's electric, Snake.

Snake · Tue 01/03/2011 19:21:49

So what's up for tomorrow?

I've practiced the first solo again and again to the best of my abilities (which isn't much to shake a stick at), broken my high-E string, changed my strings, my fingertips are sore and I've got a blister started on my middle finger.

What is required for tomorrow besides having practiced your part and having extremely sore fingies?

noavana · Tue 01/03/2011 20:43:27

Good question!

I've listened to the song and read the lyrics.
the verses are a bit low for me.
This can be solved by:
-Singing first thing in the morning (when I record it).
-Singing it an Octave above.

other than that I have no problem with the song. how about the rest of you guys?

@snake - lay off your middle finger for a while

Snake · Wed 02/03/2011 15:19:22

No one but Noa and I have posted

Dan, have you tried out Voice Chatter yet? I'm looking at the site right now and I'm a little confused as to how it works. It seems it is a bit like IRC in a way? Has anyone else tried it?

So before I download and set it up, I think one of us have to set up a server or some shit... sorry, I know nothing about this stuff.

Also, What time is it for me again, 12pm?

Quote@snake - lay off your middle finger for a while

hahaha, easier said than done

ShiverMeSideways · Wed 02/03/2011 17:38:45

Yes, there is a problem with the voice chatting program. We shall discuss it more on Skype, but in written chat form and decide what to do about it.

See you in a few hours (I have a Uni presentation to do).

Also, Snake - it should be around 14:00 (2 PM).

Wyz · Wed 02/03/2011 18:46:17

Yes it needs a server, but luckily I have one. You you please meet me on IRC?

Ultra Magnus · Wed 02/03/2011 19:23:56

So... where am I supposed to be right now?
