If this happens, who is in a band, what is your style of music, who is in your band, how many songs can you do, and do you have a myspace?
My band (The Troubadours, myspace.com/troubadourmusic (http://myspace.com/troubadourmusic)) is an indie/post-punk/pop band from Nashville TN. Our band members include board members Polarius, Katsu, and myself. We can play a good hour and a half to two hours: about twenty songs.
-
I'm basically a soloist, and I find musicians who can play as my backup band. I could play an hour or over an hour, however long you'd like. I'm a keyboardist, and the style is usually a keyboard trio, sometimes a more standard rock band (heavily influenced by the 80's). As far as my influences, think along the lines of Bruce Hornsby, Kansas, certain New Wave bands, amongst others.
You can find my MySpace profile in my signature, but it's not much right now. You can, however, find one song I've recorded (a more classical-style song).
-
Is that German?
-
speaking of the 80's
i say do this song :thumbup:
Κύριε ἐλέησον, Χριστὲ ἐλέησον, Κύριε ἐλέησον.
Kýrie, eléison; Christé, eléison; Kýrie, eléison.
"Lord, have mercy; Christ, have mercy; Lord, have mercy."

Sounds like for some of it the singing is in a foreign language. It sounded somewhat German but with the inflections of a romance language (which would be a common mistake of a non-German speaker).

If you're referring to my song, it's all in English, but some of it is in "old English" (like King James English). It's actually based on a poem by William Blake, but the music is my original composition. I can see how you might confuse some of it with German, because the way the vocalist sings is in a real classical style, almost operatic. Here are the words:
Little lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?
Gave thee life and bid thee feed
By the stream and o'er the mead
Gave thee clothing of delight
Softest clothing, wooly, bright
Gave thee such a tender voice
Making all the vales rejoice
Little lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?
Little lamb, I'll tell thee
Little lamb, I'll tell thee
We are called by His name
For He calls Himself a Lamb
He is meek and He is mild
He became a little child
I, a child, and thou, a lamb
We are called by His name
Little lamb, God bless thee!
Little lamb, God bless thee!

I can play a mean sax... oh wait... We're not going to be playing any Jazz are we....

I'm pretty sure that's Shakespearean English and not old English.

FWIW, Wlliam Blake was an English poet, illustraor, engraver, and genuis of the Romantic period. He wrote approximately a century and a half after Shakespeare.
Sample of Middle English...
Whan that Aprill with his shoures soote
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,
And bathed every veyne in swich licour
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
Whan Zephirus eek with his sweete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his half cours yronne,
And smale foweles maken melodye,
That slepen al the nyght with open ye
(So priketh hem Nature in hir corages),
Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,
And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,
To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;
And specially from every shires ende
Of Engelond to Caunterbury they wende,
The hooly blisful martir for to seke,
That hem hath holpen whan that they were seeke.
Sample of Old English...
HWÆT, WE GAR-DEna in geardagum,
þeodcyninga þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon!
oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum,

Except it wouldn't be. I will not share a stage with Third Day or Kutless (though I could easily get Kutless, I know their manager and guitar player).

Third Day is the absolute worst band EVER. I spent half of high school making fun of the lead singer's HORRIBLE voice.

As an accomplished musician, I will say that Kutless is better than Third Day.
Actually, I will say that ANY band is better than Third Day except Green Day which is equally as bad as Third Day.
-
Third Day is the absolute worst band EVER.
Don't exaggerate. In order to be the "absolute worst band EVER" they would have to be worse than this...

Are you kidding? That's amazing!
It's actually got a kicking bass line.

Serious warning--the video above is far and away the best SonSeed song. And the Father Will Dance has been know to cause grown men to weep.

Context is irrelevant when discussing the JONAS BROTHERS here... I mean, have you heard one of their "songs?" I'll take some nasal grunting over that any day. At least it doesn't corrode my eardrums.

Impasse reached. Lets compromise, and listen to neither?

I enjoy your new avatar by the way, Colin.
-
Thank you!
-
And I don't know how you'll take this, but you look remarkably similar to Gene Simmons son.
-
I've gotten that and Landon Pigg a lot before, actually.
-
You look more like Simmons' son, at least when I met you at Nationals. I don't really see the Pigg resemblence.

anybody heard of Last Tuesday? so glad they broke up, but not before one of their songs got on X Christian Rock Hits... sometimes it comes on when I have my Zune on Shuffle... *shudder*
but adding on to Third Day... no. just no. I think they think they're rock...
SonSeed is basically amazing...
-
i watch that what ever it was and the nerd and...
I died a little inside
:'( o_O that was awful, I actually feel dumber for having watched it.

I can run soundboard lights synth etc anything like that :-D

...Zune...
YES! Another person who has a Zune! :P

Zune's are amazing... the software stinks. I couldn't buy music, then I couldn't put any music on, so I decided to uninstall it, and then reinstall it... but it won't reinstall. fail.
-
hackers win in that situation
-
Anybody else here like Skillet?
-
I wouldn't be opposed to some area where people could play/listen to music, that could be real cool. However, I hope that unlike SE Regionals 2008, there is some place to escape the sound and not force people to get by on 1 hour of sleep the next day. The weaker among us (like myself) can't do that.
-

I saw them live last week ;D

go to a TDWP concert get in the pit then come back and tell me knife fights are hardcore

I saw them live and it was amazing! Especially the flame pods!

There actually was... dude was way high, the police got him after the concert. He never pulled, but hit a bunch of people, threatened, then left. It was in Orlando, FL, with Disciple and Decyfer Down. Other than that, it was a great concert, haha.

Actually, it's true. There are a number of mainstream Christian acts that non-Christians listen to. Skillet is one that has enough talent to where a non-Christian could listen to them and not necessarily care they're being preached at.

Then they're probably dissident Christians who listened to Skillet when they were Christians.

Or as Fresno said, people just like the music and don't care about the lyrics.

That's not true at all. There are a number of Christian bands accepted in the mainstream (i.e. Underoath). Non-Christians tend to be more flexible about listening to lyrics with Christian meaning than Christians are about listening to bands with offensive lyrics.
-
Demon Hunter, Flyleaf and Switchfoot are probably the most famous in the secular world.
-
The Devil Wears Prada has a massive following....secular mainly
-
See, the Devil Wears Prada and Underoath aren't CCM bands though, they're openly Christian bands with a secular market.
-
CCM? (I'm tired soits probably obvious)
-
RED also has a voice in the secular realm.
-
CCM? (I'm tired soits probably obvious)
Contemporary Christian Music.
But that wasn't what the discussion was about. The discussion was about Christian bands (or bands with a Christian message). CCM was never even brought up.

I had a weird dream that some kid on the boards was able to get Attack Attack! to play. That'd be horrible.

Skillet has enjoyed mainstream success for some time now. POD has been featured in a number of movie soundtracks. Switchfoot occupies like half the Walk to Remember soundtrack. Come on, I know you're more up to speed than this.
More hilarious than that is this one...

I'm in a christian metalcore band called All of the Above.. We're more or less just starting out, but we're pretty decent. There's a video of us performing our first two songs after 3 practices and before we got a bassist on my facebook, myspace, and on youtube. www.myspace.com/princeofthisgame (http://www.myspace.com/princeofthisgame) www.youtube.com/theprinceofthisgame (http://www.youtube.com/theprinceofthisgame) the video is called 'all of the above's first performance.' (on youtube, search for 'all of the above iowa' if you don't find it right away.) The other band members don't play Redemption, but would love to play a set if its within a few hours drive.
