Backalleys collab?

[mishkamash]

ya know zekey
your sig thing

i showed it to somebody at school
he laughed so hard
hard enough for everyone else to hear and see it

i ended up being called racist B(

[Hammi]

Id rather forget about The Matrix Still Has You, tho i thought you would have brought up "One Love" or "The Doom Project". But after having been in 3 collabs and running 2 of them, i can say there is very little joy to be had with Collabs, just arguments, stress, lazyness and frustration.

I was being ironic about that collab though xP Id like to try out a flash collab, even if it really is that much of a pain in the ass as you say, id like to experience at least one. So far ive been in silly art forum collabs back at NG. BOOOORRRIINGGG

[zomfgbie]

oh good lord, the NG art forums is terrible

stick pivot animations and ms paint swords

[rtil]

lmao the ng art forums. collabs are pretty damn frustrating, because you'll always have to deal with people who make a commitment but never do a part. this is why 90% of collabs die and never get finished (or the original collab author ends up doing most of the work, which they were planning on to begin with.)

I do have this big collab that I started up, but if you want to be in it, you'll have to contend with:

A. Dragonforce music (in particular, a song made famous by a specific guitar-based video game)
B. An interesting challenge, I'll be happy to explain it if you want.

[zomfgbie]

i stopped reading at dragonforce

actually i read the rest but damn i hate dragonforce. pokemon metal

[MRat]

I don't hate Dragonforce because they're power metal, I hate Dragonforce because they're bad. Through the Fire and Flames is harder to play on Guitar Hero than it is on a real guitar. There is no technique needed at all to play their songs, just speed, which bores me. I like stuff that pushes limits, not pushes the sound barrier.


That being said, at least it's not an emo song, like that Come Clarity collab. UGH!

ROFL and speed doesnt require technique you say?

Speed IS technique you fool.

cant play fast on the piano if you dont have good technique.

And i can guarantee you that its hard to play on real guitar than on guitar hero. i can 100% absolutely positively guarantee you.

About 3:00 minutes in is where the assrape starts.

How bout you watch the whole song, or at least till the guitar's are boxed in during the solos, and tell me it's harder on guitar hero dumbfuck.

If a 9 year old kid can play the song on expert, it's not that hard.

If that kid practiced the real song on guitar for YEARS he still couldn't do it.

You seemingly fail at appreciating true skill when it comes to actual guitar playing difficulty.
I wouldn't be surprised if you've never even touched a guitar yourself.

[MRat]

You're a fucking idiot if you believe that and obviously don't play a whole lot of guitar, or if you do, don't play it all that well. Speed is not technique, speed is an entirely different skill. Also, I've played that Dragonforce song on guitar, and on guitar hero, ALL THE WAY THROUGH. Albeit I don't play it nearly as quickly as Dragonforce does, but considering I'm quite bad at guitar it's not a great testament to the technical abilities of Herman Li. Once again, he's quite fast, but shredding is not technique, it's shredding.

Technique is about rhytm and timing, and the ability to produce sounds from a guitar other than "fret here pluck here" which is all Li does, albeit he does it reather quickly.

You clearly havent heard them LIVE.

All that awesome sounding guitar is the result of lots of technical editing in music software.

Go listen to them at a concert and hear what they REALLY sound like.

I'm not saying they arent a decent rock band, but pull your head out your ass.

[Philip K Dick]

i\\\'d go so far as to say that the beach boys are more technically aggressive than dragonforce

ps i fucking hate every last one of you

zekey has a point

hell their guitarist can't even keep up with the drummer in concert

[trent bortknob]

herman li is sloppy as hell

Then i'd love to see a video of you playing it on guitar hero, or even a picture of you, clearly standing in front of the score screen.

And also i'd love to see you easily playing through it on real guitar in a video, because if you barely play guitar, your probably playing it at least 100 beats under tempo.


And if speed isnt part of technique, then what skill is it?

I am a musician, and have learned from countless music professors whether it be trombone, bass guitar, or piano
and every one has mentioned that speed is involved in a players technique.

Such as, a quote from my band director, "Ya'll have the technique to play this piece, just because it's fast doesn't mean you dont have the technique to play it at performance tempo"
Quoted from Mr. Destry Balch, Kingwood Highschool Band Director, last year, we performed at the Rose Bowl Parade, you can find us on youtube if you google Kingwood High School Band, or KM4B.

I'll just assume that i have more musical experience than you do, and doubt you've had any teaching or schooling in any form of music.

dam i really wish i could find that video of that guy throat fuckin a trout me n lauch found while fuckin with google search :'^(
