The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[van_muddlestein]

Will I be shunned from the Doom Room if I said that the other guitarist in the band and I are looking to downsize to one cab only? We're looking into getting a 6x12 each so we can cut down on load in / out times.

That's what we ran in my last band. Each guitarist ran a 6x12 and our bassist ran an 8x10. Simple and easy yet still pretty badass looking.

Yeah, I'll still have one of my Emperors (will most likely sell one to fund a new cab) so if I wanna run a dual rig I'll still have that option. I ran a 4x12 and 2x12 in an old band and it was plenty loud still. This will just help cut down on loading times. We've got two other rigs aside from ours so its a lot of shit to be moving.

I seriously can't tell if I'm cursed when it comes to trying to start a band or if I'm the asshole somehow and just can't see it. The drummer I'm supposed to be jamming with again on Sunday emailed to ask me if I'd be down to change to a different style along the lines of Mogwai and Nothing. I don't have anything against those bands, I've seen Mogwai live and loved them, but it's not the style of music I explicitly said I wanted to play and that we already jammed on once. I had another drummer that I had a successful jam with who was WAY into the music (has been to Roadburn a bunch of times), but flat out said he thought it was just too far to drive to be in a band and he doesn't have a place to jam where he lives, because I would drive there to be in a band easily. I wish it was financially feasible for me to move out of this area right now.

Maybe I'm just in a shitty mood and being overly pessimistic, but it feels like I've been trying to and failing to play the kind of music I love for 15 years straight and every year it seems more likely and fails more miserably. Seems like the closest I will get is making demo clips for fuzz pedals and writing songs by myself at home that will never get released for anything.

Fucking drummers man....( waitingbfor skip and road bull to pelt me).
Seriously though, it's hard to wade through the sea of assholes sometimes dude. Keep the faith, it'll pay off.

Or go solo drone for a while, play out, meet some other musos, start a band that way?

[Krosis]

Corey, you and I are experiencing basically the same problems.

I need to learn to solo drone.

[CaptainBoxman]

You guys and me THREE

[Kacey Y]

Let's all drone trio.

[conky]

Petras hit me up about the cabs. He suggested different Celestions. My only experience is with vintage 30s and I don't care for how hard the mids were. Here is his email:
Hello again!

I work a lot with Celestion Speakers so initially I might suggest looking into the G65, G75 or K100. Other possibilities I might throw your way based on past orders would be the Eminence Man O Wars or Swamp Thangs. The WGS Reapers as you had suggested would potentially yield more bottom as well.

Let me know what you folks come up with. I hope to make this happen for you.

Regards,

Petras Vaznelis

How do those recommendations compare to Weber 65s? That's what is in my cab now.

We need a Solo Doomers Support Group.

Yes. Yes we do.

I've been considering it lately, but I don't even have time to myself to write shit and then deal with the logistics of converting it to material that can be performed.
One day soon I'll get out of the spare room.
One day.

Y'all are crazy. I love at the gates. To each their own though.

Yea just not the biggest on melodic death metal. I have a few releases and I prefer earlier Dark Tranquility for something like that. But mainly I want my death metal discordant, barbaric, and nasty.

[Kacey Y]

Conky, my favorite cab has celestion 65s in it, so I'd always give them a good recommendation. Mine are older Brit made ones, don't know how the new ones compare. I've been considering swamp thangs for a while, but haven't tried them.

Werd.
At the gates were cool, put I prefer the early stuff those dudes did in The Haunted.
Not death at all, but still heaby and thrashy.

My gas for HM2 loving is reaching fever peak. I busted out Heartwork again the other day.

So good.

That sounds more convenient than any of the other features, really. I'm lazy and fuck looking up OR down.

[fallen]

I think Heartwork is that Marshall Thrashmaster sound.
