IBX in SG

First up kudos to the bands that played. 2nd of all I checked out some of the clips from from SOFT

2nd part, guess I'm gonna be a music police....this is straightly from a musician's point of view, no hatred or trying to put down anybody here.

First of all, I believe that if there's gonna be a vocalist, than the vocalist is of vital importance because s/he will be holding the melody and the rest of the band will only be backing up the vocalist, therefore if the damn vocalist can't keep pitch(unless if its like a nu-metal when the vocalist is rapping and not doing much singing or the band is like a black metal band) no matter how strong or tight the band is, it will still sound like crap. Apparently some of the vocalist can't keep pitch, especially when going up higher or lower, they seem to not be able to hit the note correctly, it is also important to choose a key that the vocalist is comfortable singing in. Btw juz for your info, if ya listen to screamers like Slayer, Sepultura although unbeliveable they do scream in pitch.....

Next up, I notice on some of the videos when ya'll are doing solos, its a bit hard to hear, what might help is to use some sort of pedal to boost your volume, so when you are taking a solo boost it, that way the audience will be able to hear you, on stage you might think its loud but off the stage its totally different. Or the other way, which I dun prefer to do cuz its not the best way is to use your volume knob, set up so that your guitar volume is say around 5 or 6 and when taking a solo turn up to 9 - 10.

Last part, I will talk about is the drums and bass, they are the back bone of the band, if they dun play well, the whole band will fail. Drums and bass muz be really tight, not some thingI can see(or rather hear). And defintely keep time, the drums muz be rock solid like a drum machine, ok I know we are humans and probably will make mistake but try to be as solid as possible

Over and out
Long ranting sorry bout that
