So I'm ThePrototype, aka Cameron, and I've been teaching myself how to play guitar for around six years now I think. I never bothered to learn how to read music so I've gotten pretty good at learning by ear. I've been into hard rock/metal since I got the Matrix soundtrack for Christmas one year and it introduced me to some of my favorite bands like Rammstein, Fear Factory, and Static-X. It also introduced me to the Techno side of music such as Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson. I'm an eclectic type of "metaller" so to sum it up, I like anything with a chunky rhythm and up-tempo beat. As I mentioned in my first post, I'm left-handed and have been getting cheapy right-handed guitars with which I put the strings on upside down. It's worked so far but I'm sick of having to compromise, I want a guitar that's MINE now and I'd like this place to supply me with it. I just hope that introductory price lasts long enough for me to save up seven hundred bucks. lol
As for other interests, I'm into Gothic and Tribal designs, redheads, certain video games like Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid, and I also like to write songs/lyrics as well as artwork. I just need to hook up with someone who wants to jam with me. I've wanted to be in a band ever since Middle School. Now here I am, 23 years old, and I've never even had a friend to jam with yet. I was taught that good things come to those who wait... well I'm fucking tired of waiting!

Welcome friend Not much for marilyn manson but Ikons rule and if we agree on that thats enough for me you probably also like tits and thats cool too. Check out Father Befouled I would love to win over somebody on death metal with our band single handedly but also check out some Death and Morbid Angel great places to start if you ever liked any thrash....be sure to post in the ikon of your dreams topic I'm interested to what everyone has to say.BTW learn to play drums everyone needs a good drummer, theres too many six stringers out there, I know it rules so fucking much though. I just had an Idea to launch the Ikon drumline Gretsch look the fuck out.

I originally wanted to be a drummer, and I still would love to own a set, but most good drumsets are too expensive. Plus there's the volume and space issues. I still tap with my hands and feet every so often. lol As for Manson, I don't like him much either; I was just giving examples. My favorite bands include Rammstein, Arch Enemy, Static-X, Fear Factory, and Project 86. I'm not into much Death Metal because I prefer singing/screaming over the constant growl. My kind of vocal style is that gravelly stuff like Sully Erna of Godsmack or Corey Taylor from the IOWA era of Slipknot.

That's cool bro, everyone has their own preferences when it comes to music. Mine just happens to be death metal!! I grew up listening to bands like Slayer, Dark Angel and Possessed and when death metal reared it's ugly head I was hooked for life!!!

Agreed man I teach and and could play you guys like 10 taylor swift songs so im actually a huge faggot but whatever man i spend all my other time calling forth the old ones....I also love great melodies but turn to instrumental guitar music or 30's jazz or classical for melodic inspiration, modern chord progressions only get you so far. I think I kind of like elton john too and I had just come to peace with the fact that I was really deeply rooted in some serious judas priest shit If I must hear gay I can only be halford.but fuck it man elton johns sense of melody is amazing.

I don't see what being gay has to do with it anyway, music is music. If you're doing what you love and people are entertained by it, then what's the problem? =)

yeah but the best music is death metal and I dont think I've ever encountered a gay(at least not openly youd probably get your ass kicked if you were like a fairy)at a death metal show, lots of mexicans though they fuckin love the stench of rotten DEATH.

I listened to Witchery's "Witchkrieg" last night and thought it was pretty cool. But that's Death-Thrash.

Hey , there's nothing wrong with Death thrash mix bands as long as it's done the right way that is!! As far as the whole gay thing, I'm strickly a vagitarian 100% mind, body ,sole ,music, etc.. No exceptions!! I never have liked Judas Priest or halford!! And not just because Halfords a flamer. I just don't enjoy their music at all!!!Hail evil death metal!!!

THEPROTOTYPE's musical preference got me diggin through some old Napster-era MP3's i have. About 10 years back I came across this band (CLOWN) from Norway that would have fit perfectly into one of those late 90's early 00's Ozzfest lineups. Could see them next to deftones, slipknot, sepultura, korn, mudvayne coalchamber.. you get the idea. If Ozzy's hobbit of a son would have heard of this band, then these guys would have been on the main stage for sure! I bet NONE of your nu-metal/metalcore buddies have heard of this band from fucking NORWAY. check 'em out www.myspace.com/clownnorwayThe mp3's might be kinda hard to find, i've only got some of their early stuff and their website is down now. from what i have...intensifier is my favorite. so tight, my weak lung, unclean also great songs.

BTW.... OZZFEST SUCKS!! The 2008 Ozzfest was for only one day and it was only in one city. Frisco Texas, About 15 miles from my house. It featured bands like That guy from Korn! (but not the band Korn) That guy from System of a Down! (but not the rest of the band) Max and Igor Cavalera.. Together again! (but it's not Sepultura or Soulfly) Drowning Pool (but their lead singer died on the other Ozzfest, so they got a crappy replacement and we kinda had to let them be here cuz we felt bad) That guy from Coalchamber (but he's in a new band) Some guys playing cover songs on cello's (Apocalyptica) A Third stage featuring Texas bands like Goatwhore and Soilent Green (Good bands, but NOT from Texas) Yeah, I didn't even consider buying tickets for that Crapfest.
