Opinions on my band, Samsara?

Post by samsara » Wed February 14th, 2007, 4:34 pm

Hey I was just trying to get some opinions, especially from anyone who has seen us live. I just want some constructive criticizm or whatever, to see how we may improve. We've gotten good responses at all of our shows, I was just thinking there are ways for us to improve.

We have one recorded song at the moment, which you can listen to at www.myspace.com/samsarametal. It isn't the greatest quality, but it gets somewhat of an idea of what the band sounds like.

And yes, I do realize the vocals on the track suck, so there's no need to reiterate that. They have improved since that was recorded, and we're still searching for a vocalist. Thanks,

Cameron

While this guy isn't talking about music, the message still applies:

haha that video's funny as shit.

And it guess it is a good point, people play music for themselves, as well as for others, so I don't think that's completely applicable here.

Sounds just like Iron maiden. Iron Maiden is the greatest thing to ever happen to the planet. That soild state Marshall tone is the worst thing ive heard. Just cause its a marshall, doesnt mean its going to sound good. But the song is a lot more soild than I thought it was going to be.

Main thing I didnt like is the singer, he doesnt fit at all. Im willing to bet Evan takes guitar lessons from Howie. But thats awesome, Howie is cool.


Cauldron Born rules. Hammerfall, Rhaposdy, Dragon Force, Cradle of Flith, and Queensryche do not.

Listen to Helstar, Hirax, Attacker, Manilla Road, Sacred Oath, Watchtower, Running Wild, Mercyful Fate, Grave Digger, and Candlemass.

Decent.
Mostly because you guys are young. Or appear to be.
Learn to play at a consistent tempo.
Also, you have to learn to play as a group, not 3 people doing their own thing.

.

Yeah like I said, the quality is bad, and that was a fender 25-watt frontman amp. hahahha.

I suck at singing, but there's not one single person around here who actually SINGS.

I listen to all of those bands you mentioned, save for Watchtower and Running Wild.

And I take bass lessons from Howie, I write almost all of our stuff.

Everything post-Promised Land is pretty bad, but I can't believe you'd say that about the old Q. Pre-PL era Queensryche is one of my top favorite bands of all time. :/

The only Queensryche I really like is their first EP. With Queen of the Reich and all that stuff.
