musician forum

[Crucified Coma]

Would you guys want a seperate forum for musical discussion, like tabs and theory and whatever you like talking about? And this one can just be general music discussion/random shit.

Can run it completely yourselves/make it invite only or something. Would prob solve some of the unhapiness. Plus I'd have no desire to even read it.

Think about it. Let me know.

If yes, post who you think should run it.

[Transient]

no, as it is now everyone who is in a dm band tends to post links to their stuff here, and everyone who is in a shitty emo/hardcore/post hardcore bull shit band posts their links on btbam or general.

id never check a musicians forum unless something interesting came up on search, but i look into almost every thread posted here even from no-name posters

[Grindmasterflesh]

I don´t care but I´m sure there are many guys on here that want it.

[stabwound]

I think it would be nice. Wouldn't care who runs it.

[Vaginal.Infestation]

Not a bad idea.
I'd try to be active.

[foreign10]

so would I. maybe it would make me want to pick up my guitar again. it's probably been over 3 months since I last touched it.

[ChAAPY]

I'm for it. Give me all the power!!!!

I'm taking some theory classes now and would love to talk to others about it but I have a feeling most musicians here don't even know theory. I know Erlend does, but he's too busy playing in bands and recording to be bothered. We could move the tabs sticky over there too.

BZM seems to know a shitload of theory as well so it would be cool to talk to him about all that. Maybe we could post clips of us experimenting with different chord progressions and techniques, etc. I have a strange feeling no one cares though.

[phagist_]

shit would be good I think.

I'm also taking theory classes, and I'm sure from what I read/hear from people on here most of the musicians know some theory.

[JohnnyJihad]

I say no. I'd rather us talk about those kinds of things here all in one place. If you have too many separate forums for specific topics where to post what can become kind of ambiguous.

"I'd normally post this HERE where I know people I talk with will read it and see it, but because there is a separate forum I should probably post it there instead.. for the sake of it."

Meh

[Shred The Ganja]

no, keep this board as DM discussion.

[Nihilist]

No.

[Miscreant]

I'm really on the fence about the issue.

[Subjugate]

I think it would be nice. Wouldn't care who runs it.

[Miscreant]

Just don't make me the mod for it, I have too much shit to check as it is, hah

[Egill]

Uhm no. I even voted 'no' before reading anything so yeah...

[F0RBIDDEN]

I think it would be cool, we'd probably have more musician talk there than we do here just because that's what it would be designed for, I love talking gear and what not... There's lots of cool stuff to talk about that I don't think to post here because I don't see it as primarily a musicians board... I'll mod it or whatever too, no problem.

:emot-high

[BZM]

I'll help mod it too if necessary, hehe. I love answering questions and helping people out with guitar related questions and stuff :)

[smorgasborg]

I like the idea.

[Chilidem]

Yes and Majewski is gay.

[INCINERATE]

I'd really like to see a musicians forum on here where one can talk about theory, gear, etc. I'd check it out all the time as it interests me far more than most of the threads in the Death Metal Discussion forum - especially as of late. Plus it might attract people from other forums on here that don't typically hit the Death Metal Discussion forum. As for mod(s), I have no preference I guess.

[AllP0werToSlaves]

Bleh, I don't really care either way.

[Abu Monaar]

good ideaaaaaa

[Shred The Ganja]

i'm down for the musician's form, but you should still keep this as the DM discussion...

[Goaters]

yeah musician forums sounds good

[Defleshuary]

Yes and Majewski is gay.

Yeah, that not being an option had me torn.

[egdeltar]

Why the fuck not?

I have no job.

All that I do revolves around music, I've quit my job for guitars and music. Music is all there is for me anymore.. hahaha

[m138jewski]

my vote went to majewski is gay... all the way

[Abu Monaar]

So start tabbing zappa songs arranged for one guitar already :/ go. now.

[Vriend]

Splitting the forum in 2 is fine with me. It also works in the BTBAM board (sort of)

[De Profoundis]

Cool fucking idea.

[brett]

I reckon threads about gear or someones new guitar are boring. I used to care, but.

[Johnny-Skinless]

don't care about it

[TiTanTHPS]

If it has sub forums such as theory, guitar, bass, drum, etc. then I'll vote yes. And if tabs are going to be talked about, there might as well be a tab sub forum people could search easily.

[dead_and_dripping]

A couple of sub-forums sounds alright, maybe one for gear/equipment and one for tabs/theory, then the main part can be left for music and random crap.

[F0RBIDDEN]

I think just making a separate musicians forum and leaving it open ended would be fine... I find whenever a forum has subforums, I never check all of the subforums and most of them go neglected as everyone uses the main discussion area for everything anyways... If we just had a Musician's Forum where you could talk about anything musician related, I think it would be fine and see a lot more activity than a board that had a subforum for "Riffs that start on the E string", "Riffs that start on the G string", "Major 4 string Arpeggios", "Minor 6 string Arpeggios", "Tube amps made in Germany", "Solid State amps made in Japan", "Guitars with reverse headstocks, flame maple tops and 1 humbucker with a Floyd Rose", etc. etc. etc.

[Johnny-Skinless]

In my opinion forums with multiple subforums = disaster. In order for a forum to work well it has to be simple and eficiently structured

[RICE510]

You know what would be cool is if you took that idea and integrated it here.

...oh, wait....

hahaha i agree i think one forum would be sufficent.....i would check this forum often.

[ten_second_infinity]

i would check this forum often.

[Woody]

No.

[Wakeness]

If yes, post who you think should run it.

Yes. Me.

This man speaks with wisdom. This is pretty much what my post in the thread was referring to.

[seedsofthesuffering]

Not a bad idea, would be neater to keep all the guitar/drums threads together I guess.
If you do this, ask Mike Gilbert from Severed Savior if he'd run it - knows a lot about equipment and all.

Anyone else could try to help out answering questions and shit too, as always.

[JohnnyJihad]

Gilbert, Sotelo, and talk to Mike smith maybe? He's pretty consistently on the suffo board replying to stuff.. maybe he'd be willing.

[ten_second_infinity]

Mike smith maybe? He's pretty consistently on the suffo board replying to stuff.. maybe he'd be willing.

Doubt it.

[PreserveVitalOrgans]

i want gear discussion!

[Lichtbringer]

I want Richard Gere discussion.

[JohnnyJihad]

Doubt it.

Yeah I can definitely see him not having the time and not being shy about saying so. He does seem to crave some recognition as a drummer though.. seems pissed that he has such a hard time getting endorsements.

[LucienLaTulipe]

I have a strange feeling no one cares though.

I do.

[M.Gilbert]

I'd be happy to co-moderate/run a gear discussion forum if there was one. If it was just a music theory forum, etc. I could honestly care less and would probably never read it. But gear discussion is something I would be more interested in personally.

[Nihilist]

I want Richard Gere discussion.
For sure. Gere is a badass.

[JohnnyJihad]

We can have a "post a pic (of Richad Gere)" thread

[Lichtbringer]

LOL.

[GrindYourMind]

I voted no just because of the Majewski quip.

I don't care.

[luciodeath]

Itwould be awesome!
FORBIDDEN and INCINERATE could be runners of it. I see FORBIDDEN knows about music and playing and he is always posting.

[Crucified Coma]

Okay, so it looks like the majority of you are at least interested in it. If it doesn't work out, can just move the posts back here. So if you said yes, and want to be helpful...

Suggest a name for it:
Do you want it to be the same color scheme:
Should it be invite only:
any other suggestions:

Hear that yeah, the theory side of it wouldn't interest me either - how about just skip over threads about theory and look at gear threads... could work.
There will probably be threads on guitar & drumming techniques too, aside from theory.

Someone else who's interested in typing up theory could handle that I guess.

As for name, hmm.... "Gear Discussion" ... or something, whatever.
Same colours, ok.
Invite only: i'd say no at the moment - but it should be heavily moderated to only allow threads which are relevant to the forum.

[luciodeath]

Hear that yeah, the theory side of it wouldn't interest me either - how about just skip over threads about theory and concentrate on the gear threads... could work.
I guess there will be people asking about guitar and drumming techniques too, aside from actual music theory.

Someone else who's interested in that stuff could help out with the theory I guess... plenty of other forums on the net for that though.

Same colours, yeah whatever.
Invite only: i'd say no at the moment - but it should be heavily moderated to only allow threads which are relevant to the forum, and all bullshit deleted.

dude please...
gear discussion? i'm pretty sure everyone here is interested in both theory and gear discussion.

[BZM]

just call it musician's discussion... ugh

[phagist_]

just call it musician's discussion... ugh

[Infidelis]

just call it musician's discussion... ugh

seconded

[luciodeath]

just call it musician's discussion... ugh

[INCINERATE]

I say call it "Musicians Only".

[ChAAPY]

I'm all for invite only. If not, then someone needs to delete threads that have nothing to do with that forum and also people need to LEARN TO USE THE FUCKING SEARCH ENGINE, cause I guarentee people will be asking the same fucking questions over and over again.

[INCINERATE]

Yeah, once the forum is created, there should be a sticky at the top that says something like Forum Rules, Read This First, listing the rules so there isn't a bunch of general discussion going on.

"Majewski Central"?

(not really)

[ChAAPY]

you are correct sir.

I can see it now

"how many modes are there?"

"what are they called?"

"what's a polyrhythm?"

"can anyone give me an example of a polyrhythm?"

"what's a polymeter?"

etc.

BZM needs to type up a FAQ thread, haha.

[phagist_]

LOL.

[Crucified Coma]

I made M.Gilbert, BZM, and F0RBIDDEN mods for now.

[Infidelis]

oh god... srsly hope the forum will be more advanced than modes

[F0RBIDDEN]

Hahaha change the name of the damn forum CC you goof...

I'll gladly moderate the shit out of that forum.

[F0RBIDDEN]

Another suggestion, maybe make the Musician's forum a sub-forum of this forum instead of in the General Music Discussion section? I know it doesn't really make sense, but I think more people will check it out if it's linked directly at the top of this forum, since I'm guessing most guys don't actually use the forum list and just have this actual forum bookmarked or whatever....

[JohnnyJihad]

It might help weed out retards as well.

(I don't mean musician-noobs. I'm one of those. I mean obnoxious, annoying toll-like creatures)

[F0RBIDDEN]

(I don't mean musician-noobs. I'm one of those. I mean obnoxious, annoying toll-like creatures)

Agreed, keeps it as discussion between the guys that are already here, or cool enough to look here, as opposed to just fags trolling through the forum list...

[ChAAPY]

oh god... srsly hope the forum will be more advanced than modes

wouldn't surpise me if a lot of people don't already know them (that one was more of a joke). I put off theory for a LONG time and just started getting into it about a year ago.

[ChAAPY]

that's where invite only comes into play. but then how does one get invited?
