The Doom Room: ILF Edition

That's awesome! I'm very stoked for that show.

[D-Day]

Bremerton though? That's odd. You got buddies out there?

[LOCOPELAND]

Sweet! Gonna try to make it to that Black Lodge show on Saturday.

Not at all! Haha. I have no idea how that got added. I think the guys in Sol (the band that's doing the weekend with us) set that up. We usually like to do Tacoma but we couldn't set that up. Got plenty of friends there, haha.

Sweeeeet

Bremerton took awhile for us to crack. The first two shows in that town were each a fiasco beyond words. We do quite well there now. I'll post about it on facebook and see if I can rally the Bremerton AW types around your cause.

TONY! Please come to the show on Saturday. It's been way too long man

[LOCOPELAND]

I agree, D! I've got a tattoo appointment that afternoon that will probably run a few hours, but after that I am totally down!

That would be very awesome and kind of you! Thanks man. Either way it's going to be a fun weekend. I just want to eat all the donuts I can find. Plus I'm buying an amp, so it's a win win all around expect for my wallet.

also on those chords...i'm gonna try them out...i've been on a bit of stretch technique recently...index finger and pinky doing 1-5 and then adding middle finger and strumming through 1-5-0-3-0-0...this is B standard tuning though...not drop.

can get really muddy with too much dirt, but it sounds off in a good way.

Theory geekery for a moment:

In B standard, those notes are: C - A - A (unison) - F - F# - B. The F-A-C triad in that group is going to tend to push the perception of that chord towards F major, but then you've got the b9 (F#) and the #11 or b5 (B) stacked on top. Alternately, you could push it as a B chord by having the bassist play a low B, which gives you a B7(no 3rd) in the form of the B - F# - A notes, with an added b9 (C) and #11 or b5 (F), which you might loosely characterize as B7alt (technically, you should have a D# in there somewhere to really drive the 7th chord sound, but fuck it, it's doom). If you wanted to be really off-the-wall, you could think of the F-B tritone as belonging to either G7 (F is the b7, B is the 3) or C#7 (F is the 3, B is the b7), but the accompanying tones don't really go with those chord identities - you wouldn't normally find the major 7 in a 7th chord, and since you've got both the C and F# here, you've got a competing major 7 no matter whether you're thinking of this as C#7 or G7.

Ahem. As you were.

He said tritone. That means doom.

sorry celticelk...all of that was completely wasted on me...i have no where near the knowledge you have on theory...in fact the only theory term i recognise is "tritone" and to be honest i don't really know what it means, just that its something that Iommi did, which sounded evil.

I feel ashamed about how shit I am with theory...

Tritone is three steps, Samwise. It's the 'distance' between F and B in your chord. Also known as the flatted fifth.

As far as the Sabbath thing, it's the relationship between the second and third note (the G to the C) in the opening to the song "Black Sabbath." Also known as the DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNMEEMEMEMDEMDEMDME of the instantly recognizable Doooooom-doooooooooooom-DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN in the intro:

yep...thats where I know Tritone from...it was the note sequence that was banned for being the devils notes.

Black Lodge...is that name a Twin Peaks reference?

[van_muddlestein]

Uh....so why didn't anyone tell me how fucking awesome a boost the MXR CAE 401 is?

[odontophobia]

Pacific Northwest? Check.

Can't NOT be a Twin Peaks reference. Seems like only 9 months ago we were going on about it.
