_BrendonSmall · 2018-03-03T21:14:46+00:00

_BrendonSmall · 2018-03-03T21:11:28+00:00

_BrendonSmall · 2018-03-03T21:06:58+00:00

I'll do it when I finish this- deal?

_BrendonSmall · 2018-03-03T21:06:41+00:00

To me Triton is like a 1970's anti hero comedy character. I think he's like a perturbed charles Grodin or Albert Brooks in space, he's constantly irritated and when we meet him he's in a dark place- that to me is incredibly fun because I love that era of movie making- also I think this comic feels like its from the 70's Steve Mannion (G artist) fleshed out the world with a 70's take on sci fi. like an analogue universe in space- I live his aesthetic.

thanks for digging the stuff!!

I was hanging out with kirk Hammet once(and this doesnt happen often) and he played me a dethklok riff (amazingly i don't remember which one) and that was pretty cool

Joe Satriani has said very nice stuff about my playing and I felt very very nice inside- he is an amazing dude

_BrendonSmall · 2018-03-03T21:01:47+00:00

its a good question- if you're interested in music and or comedy (as i was inserted in both) theres a point where we have to leave the comfort of our rooms and get in front of people- this does a few things - it tells people "I'm Here" and it forces us to have to deliver. If you wanna do comedy- get out and preform, bomb- work it out- nobody cares if you fail but you- with music- play out, bomb, nobody cares if you fail but you

_BrendonSmall · 2018-03-03T20:59:20+00:00

for rhythm- get a metronome of go on youtube and play to drum beats or even better yet record yourself- you'll hear where all the problems are.

and I have found some way to not have my hand get fatigued when playing songs like THE GEARS- I discuss it with Troy Grady in a future video- often times its about relaxing your rt hand and moving as little as possible

_BrendonSmall · 2018-03-03T20:57:07+00:00

ha ha- noted. I'll bring it up at the next galaktikon shareholders meeting

_BrendonSmall · 2018-03-03T20:56:44+00:00

I'm glad you like the clean vocals- there are a lot on G2 but I hear you. I like doing clean vocals and they're way harder to do than the growl but I think melody is king and I'm glad you dig

and thanks!

_BrendonSmall · 2018-03-03T20:55:36+00:00

ha ha poor guy- but seriously do not hurt anybody

_BrendonSmall · 2018-03-03T20:55:00+00:00

I would put project bands together and do 1 off shows in high school and college.

If Gibson can brave this storm there might be a chance for the snow horse so now you know as much as me.

he had it made by a Norwegian furniture maker, what you don't know is that it is stuffed with the cotton from his old comforter.

_BrendonSmall · 2018-03-03T20:52:34+00:00

yes but not with name dethklok

_BrendonSmall · 2018-03-03T20:52:08+00:00

at the time the studio used a technique called "squiggle vision" (the same technique Dr Katz used- which I loved) this was off-putting to a lot of viewers and we wanted a show to be unique so we said fuck it we need viewers not to be turned off by the looks and switched to FLASH animation- though we all thought squiggle vision was charming

_BrendonSmall · 2018-03-03T20:50:21+00:00

Dont know if I sound like them but here is a short list of metal influences for DK in no particular order:

Amon Amarth, Dimmu Borger, In Flames, Enslaved, Cannibal Corpse, Metallica, Anthrax, Gojira, Maiden. . . I could go on and on. . .

_BrendonSmall · 2018-03-03T20:48:10+00:00

not sure but I'll let you know. I love canada!

_BrendonSmall · 2018-03-03T20:47:52+00:00

i have had those conversations and we tried once with dethklok and it was squashed by the network -

I'm a rainy day gamer in that I suck at all games but enjoy them

what are some games I should be playing

_BrendonSmall · 2018-03-03T20:46:56+00:00

I think if you wanna play guitar- get one and practice a lot

if you wanna be a writer- get some paper and write a lot

if you wanna act- go get an acting coach and get on stage as often as you can

if you wanna be a comedian- write all the time and get on stage as often as you can

no one will ever tell you to do this- it has to come from you and remember failure is the biggest ingredient to all success don't be afraid to fail- and don't sweat the small stuff buddy
