I was wondering if anyone at shmeng plays instruments or is in a band? I’ve
been playing bass for 5 years and it's fun to converse with other musicians
about music. ____________________ fucking classy. |

I admire you for playing the bass. I had a bass once . . . it was a
black-and-white Fender P-bass, beautiful . . . just like the one Melissa
auf der Maur played in the Everlasting Gaze video. It got stolen right out
of my room. Whoever broke into my house left my amp, though. . . that
lonely amp stared at me every day. I didn't even get a chance to get good
at it . . . but if anyone wants to lend me a bass for rousing rendition of
Smoke on the Water, I'm up for it. ____________________ < / hate > |

I'm a pianist who hasn't had a piano for three years, or one worth playing
for five. But back in the day I was pretty damn good at my speciality,
J.S. Bach, and his delightful samples of counterpoint. I've dabbled in
violin and guitar, too. In other words, I could play tunes, recognizably,
without people running away in horror, on the violin, and I know enough
chords on the guitar to play a decent playlist of songs, as long as they
don't get complicated. But my heart will always belong to the piano, bless
it's bulky, non-portable soul. ____________________ "You can tell by the scars on my arms and the cracks in my hips and the

Andree: no I didn't get it at a pawn shop.
and unfortunately i had to get rid of it. the same misfortune happened to
me as wormwood of a larger scale. it was ridiculous. a string broke and I
ended up getting about 6 stitches in my hand, needles to say the bass was a
reddish colour and my blood greatly damaged the electronics. ____________________ fucking classy. |

I´m in aband. Its called Dreamcatcher. Its ironic that we got our stage
names like some months ago, If I had known that before I wouldn't be Lestat
here, I dunno I don't think you can change your ID can you? hehe. Oh well
mine is Rayne. we're currently working on our songs to make a demo of 12
songs we have 6 right now. I'm the lead singer, there's two giutar
players, a drummer, a bass player who works on synth sometimes. I have
avery good feeling about this I shall post the adventures of our band in
future articles when I have sometime. I know how to play Guitar, bass and
abit of piano but not as much. ____________________ I belong to no one. no organization confines me,no community,no society, no

that would be cool, but my influences can be summed up as such: metal,
death metal, gothic metal, black metal, underground metal…
get the idea? ____________________ fucking classy. |

I play the clarinet, the saxophone (alto, soprano and tenor), gamelan, the
timpani, in fact all orchestral precussion (apart from the xylophone). I
taught myself the theme tune to Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang on the piano, but I
think I've forgotten it. And I can play the intro to 'Iron Man' left-handed
on a right-handed guitar. ____________________ Light is changing to shadow, and casting a shroud over all we have known. |
