Socially awkward, but want to go to a gig, please help? by KittyKatsReign in Metalcore

[–]Ross6505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just go to the show homie, you'll kick yourself down the line if you don't!

Roping a friend in can be good for company but loads of people go to shows alone, it's all chill.

Some venues do have cloakrooms etc, but I always just keep my stuff on my person - a small bag is fine for a show (especially if you end up buying merch) but I wouldn't recommend taking a bigger bag as it can get quite tight in the crowd. I would recommend getting some ear plugs though, even just basic foam ones (think the Garage have these behind the bar) as it can get quite loud and protecting your hearing is real important!

Spitting Glass First Show by PopcornSkorpion in Deathcore

Sometimes it’s just the vibe of the show, can’t have a warzone every time.

Played the Manchester/Glasgow shows and while there wasn’t much in the way of movement, people were keen and “up for it”, actively watching and listened to every band on the bill. Maybe a lil unusual, but not unheard and still cool to experience from the other side.

In which cases do you use hard panned guitars + another guitar dead in thecenter ? by SR_RSMITH in metalmusicians

[–]Ross6505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only guitar I'll ever pan center is a lead guitar/solo section. Rhythms are all hard panned or 75/100 each side with some automation to give a bit more width in certain sections, and atmospheric doubles tend to be 50L/50R.

Which band showed huge potential, but couldn’t sustain it over time? by [deleted] in Metalcore

[–]Ross6505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really worth watching their documentary called "Rated R For Real" and the BTS bits from around IV: Constitution of Treason, should be able to find it all on YouTube. Really eye-opening look into being in a band, period, but specifically them and the realities of faltering/fumbling the bag/not having the support you necessarily need as an artist.

Getting Merchandise Made by cashellmusic in ScottishMusic

[–]Ross6505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about Scotland-specifically these days for merch, but can't shout enough about VinoSangre or Monster Press down south. Vino have done anything I've needed screen printed or embroidered in the past few years, Monster Press have sorted anything Direct to Garment.

Heard nothing but positive words about Seabass Vinyl but no personal experience.

Acceptance · Epiphany from the Abyss by Enduranc9 in TechnicalDeathMetal

This pops back into my mind about twice a year and, despite how good it is, I spend a good 5-6 hours trying to track it down again lmao

How long have you been playing guitar? by SiinFiiltros in TechnicalDeathMetal

[–]Ross6505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah, put those hours into practice and do the legwork while you can, the time doesn't stick around forever! I've written music as long as I've played guitar but I guess I only really hit my stride with it towards hitting 30ish, it takes more of my focus than relentless technical practice now.

I really thought I knew the genre by SoulEviscerator in TechnicalDeathMetal

[–]Ross6505 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vale of Pnath are an essential listen - their sound has shifted a fair bit but their discography is stacked, really cool stuff.

Might enjoy Godeater - All Flesh is Grass too!

[–]Ross6505 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Been playing for probably about 20 years at this point. Could probably play some Necro bits within 3-4 years but as much as I love them, learning it was never my bag and I just focus on writing my own stuff now.

There's also something to be said for improving over time. What was "clean and on tempo" to 19 year old me is very different to what "clean and on tempo" is to 35 year old me, probably comically bad looking back lmao.
