Exp. guitarist&drummer seeking rock musicians (infl:DT,Vai,Satch) - demo inside

shredmaster777

Hi there,

The music we play could be described with our current influences but this would be a simplified description. We only include them here to give you a general idea. Although you will hear them in our music (that's for sure), we have enough experience to develop our own style.
Our common and biggest influence is Dream Theater. We love their approach to song writing, musical versatility and technical perfection, and we are trying to implement these featuers into our music.

We recorded a demo on my PC for you - it's a mix of samples from 4 of our songs (only guitars and drums) and should give you a good idea of what and how we can play (Copyrights registered @ www.songrite.com). Here's a direct link to the mp3:

We are looking for an experienced bassist, singer and keyboard player.

Bassist must have a 5 string bass - most of our songs are written on a 7 string guitar. The stuff we play (instrumental parts especially) will also require good technical skills.

Singer must REALLY be able to sing, not only scream (although this has it's place). We're pretty open here. Male or female. Writing lyrics would be an advantage; if he or she could play rhythm guitar a little, it would be awesome.

Keyboard player doesn't have to be a rockin' Chopin We're looking for someone who will be able to write new songs with the guitarist and add another dimmension to existing ones. (should know who Jordan Rudess and Derek Sheridan are though:).

We both live in Dublin and work during a week. Altough we don't plan musical careers (yet , we are very serious about this project and will commit ourselves to bringing it to life. I don't think there's a band like this in DUblin at the moment so if you want to be a part of it, please contact us.

PM me or send email to shredmaster777@hotmail.com

Nidge

That rocks, I really like that stuff, I'm absolutely of no use to you, just commenting.

shredmaster777

Thanks for the comments lads. If you happen to know someone who'd be interested, give me a shout.
Cheers

PM'd you, please reply to me.

shredmaster777

Just to clarify things. We are not looking for a 2nd guitarist, at least not at the moment. Sorry.

Nidge

That music does not require a 2nd guitarist, it'd be crowded.

Not necessarily my friend. You're obviously talking about a live performance 'coz it shouldn't be a problem in studio when tracking & mixing.
Well, there are ways to avoid this "crowd" on stage. All you need to do is keep in mind that 2 guitars have to complement and not to compete with each other. This is hard to achieve however and requires 2 good guitarists understanding each other. We don't really have time to develop such a relationship, hence our decision.

Unless, there is someone good enough out there

shredmaster777

We start auditions next weekend, any more singers and keyboardists out there?

I'd love to play keys, but only if you intend relocating to Antrim :-(

No, I think we'll stay in Dublin.

But if you are willing to relocate, hell, I could even get you a place to stay (my living room )

That's ok. Good luck with your project and if you ever change your mind, you know where to find me

diamop

Still looking!!! Loads of material waiting to be arranged and played, we need ppl.

Karl Hungus

If you were looking for a second guitarist, and I was living in Dublin, I'd jump on this in a heartbeat. Best of luck though.

dbs_sailor

in response to your pm seeking a keyboard player, i'm not interested.

the first song on that demo sounds like a cover of acid rain by liquid tension experiment.

i dunno if you should have copyrighted that.

shredmaster777

That's all right. I actually listened to your music on myspace after I PM'd you and you can't really play so..
My bad.

TempestSabre

Musical differences usually split a band AFTER its been formed...:)

hehe. don't be so offended, man.

btw, grade 8 associated board and my chopin(you know him, right?)/liszt/bach repertoire say otherwise.

i say keep looking for a keyboard player. maybe even try and hire jordan rudess, he'll recognize most of the stuff you're playing.

And yet, you play crap. Our music might remind DT in places but we don't play crap.
