Best musician on Zoklet!

[Haiti's Space Agency]

Personally, I don't play any instruments, but I just thought this would be a fun thread. Maybe give the winner a custom user title or something? All music is welcome be it you play guitar, drums, keyboard, washboard, whatever. Videos of yourself playing would be better than audio clips, just more proof that its actually you. Or I guess in the recording you could state your username, but thats still less concrete than video. So, post some videos of yourself playing or make a reserve post and add video a later date. I will add a deadline eventually and then make a poll once that deadline is reached.

[Bobweirsucks]

doooooo iiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

[FON]

If I cared about people being better musicians than me or approached my music competitively and didn't have absolute shite recording equipment...I might have posted a song.

[sevenTwo]

You'd be surprised how many decent guitar players are also 15.

[Knife in The Knight]

this thread could be good I will stay tuned for more

[:MAD:ijuana]

Ive only played 4 years but if i can find my camera then im in

[Σnigma]

You'd be surprised how many decent guitar players are also 15.

Paul Gilbert was 14 when he was ready to shred with Racer X. Of course, they delayed for three fucking years. But still, he was 14.

[King Owl]

i'm not a really a musician

i can count in time and change cds

i twiddle a knob pretty good but.

I'm playing the bass on that track. 'Scuse the quality, we aren't exactly rich.

I've been playing about 8 years, and I have two years of music theory (high school/college) under my belt, and I also played the string bass in high school concert band.

[Dfg]

See my signature.

[beergoggles]

See my signature.

Well now we know who's NOT going to win. :hrmph:

Fucking electronic music....

[beergoggles]

Well..... do I win by default or something? This thread fizzled out quick.

[AnotherAnimal]

i play bass as well, but unlike your actual music education, i have self education which means i suck at reading music and only know the G major scale for any sense of music theory :X

i belong in Dethklok. for anyone that has seen metalocalypse, that band. they cant read music supposedly haha.

but i can improv pretty darn well and can come up with some clever unique shit, but it's all under my sense of music so it may suck to any of you. i can probably record some shit of mine when my bass is back home...fucking left it at a friends house after jamming drunk

[Crashwangdoodle]

Sure I'll join in, just so beergoggles doesn't win by default :mad: . I've played the piano for hmm... 7 years . Well less I took a break for a year so 6 years. What are going to do? Compose? Or just play a decent piece or what? Lyrics too? Please specify, since I'm going to use my time to create a masterpiece :p

Good Luck to you all

[Marijuanasaurus]

Trying to figure out how to upload longer than 30 second videos from my phone. Going to practice a bit then add a bass solo from a song.

Whatever best showcases your skill.

Well..... do I win by default or something? This thread fizzled out quick.

lol, no.

I'm just going to put all teh entries in the first post for organization.

[evil_monkey]

I'll post something a little later... what's a good site to upload a video?

[hooloovoo]

I think it'd be better to revamp this thread to be more of a collection of videos (or recordings, if the former is impossible) of musicians on zoklet performing. Since not everyone plays instruments that are directly comparable.

Its bound to turn into that without any revamping anyway.

[beergoggles]

Haha, ever heard of a little site called Youtube???

I may make a video of me playing along with the recording just so you all can watch me play.

[Duelist]

I dont record very much but have many songs,

I can flesh out bass and drums, then i'll post one.

[Azure]

Do rappers count?

Interesting composition-wise. I liked it. I think it could be better executed, vocals we're kinda messy at some places and the fingers sliding on the bass strings was kind of obnoxious.

I don't know if that is part of your sound or not. I'm not a fan really if it is. I'd say you definitely have a decent song written there and I'm not usually a fan of anything but metal XD.

[Duelist]

lol no it wasn't my intention, but I am primarily a 6 stringer, and seldom play the bass...

it is an acoustic electric and that makes the sliding sound worse

[Staples_AOK]

I am a beginning musician, was in a couple bands..

None Of Us Alone

something else i forget


Oh yeah check out www.myspace.com/originalbrandband for some great comedy material. men don't have feelings!!!

[skyclaw441]

I certainly won't win, but the stuff I showed Zoklet six months ago was a lot LOT worse than what I'm making now, my stuff is a lot better at least. Been making headway.

[sevenTwo]

Wrote this song years ago right after one of my friends killed himself and I was left with too many questions. Just recorded it for you guys!

[EssJay]

Oh yeah, I'm gonna win this shit :cool:
I do the vocals, fretless bass and guitars, a mate did the drum programming.

Here's one of my bands (http://users.bandzoogle.com/deathforprophet1/fr_home.cfm) which I play drums in. Original material, band is only about 7 months old.

"Take it all
Cut down every tree there is
Let's watch 'em fall
Kill 'em all
Make sure you don't spare anyone in general
I don't mind
Make sure that it's televised
Tell me lies
Just make sure they're televised
Pay your bills
And watch the bodies pile up in landfills
Genocide
Nobody will mind if it is televised
Consume and buy
Consume and buy
And you've been sold
Consume and buy
Consume and buy
You've been sold!"

Dude i cant believe you even think thats good. The vox are horribly flat and dead sounding, and the music is horribly generic metal.

Fack...

Anyways, Doti has heard me play, he can vouch for me. I cant really slap right now because my thumb is in pain, but as soon as i heal up, Ill record somethin.

[Ambient]

Does it have to be a [original] composition?

I can't compose but I can play :)

[-SpectraL]

It's supposed to be flat. It's the voice of the Prophet. And there's nothing generic about it. Get real, huh?

[The Jitterskull]

If I had the time I'd make something awesome for here. I wouldn't say I'm the best musician (there's always someone better than you out there), but hopefully I'd be a contender.

[King Owl]

I'll film/record a 10min minimix and upload it :)

http://www.filedropper.com/10aboysdreamI'm listening to you right now... sounds great to me! I used to be a really big fan of orchestral arrangements, having been the percussionist in an orchestra for 5+ years.

Here's an Ozzy cover I played on a ways back... shit quality because it was a basement recording.

http://www.box.net/shared/ihb48dlf9i

[redhead]

I'll have to see if they're recording us playing at the opera house next week. I'll have a new (very very old) bass clarinet for it too. :D

[Leonidas]

I have a couple recordings of my band but they aren't very good, so I'll get back to you on this one

[AdamSmokesCrack]

I has no recordings. Two years ago when I thought I was hot shit I put up a video on youtube and it got mixed reviews.

I'm looking into recording software/hardware, but my computer is shit, so I think I'm just going to buy a new PC first. I'll get back to this thread in a few weeks, hopefully.

[Duelist]

mine got removed, or the website stopped using free service

here is an updated version of what I had recorded

No, he's right. It sounds like shit, and the guitar part is as generic as you get.

I play the rhythm-ish guitar but I think I'm switching to vocals soon. We have several videos up, been together since march this year.

Spectral you should spend less time here, and more time working on your band.

Awh well, I suppose I was lacking the criticality to say that...

I sure don't see any ass-bangers posting anything here. All I see is a bunch of flapping lips.

Here is all of my current audio online:

Please take as much time as needed to listen through it :)

and please critique. theres alot of diversity in there (one track will be hardstyle the next will be ambient so u never know)

i will also attempt to make some song just for this thread in the future as well with a friend of mine next time we are near a studio together
