Drummers Gone Mad

Two cool videos in their own way.

First we have this dude that plays the drums on a keyboard...




...And then we have this entertainer:



Quite impressed by them both.

Seeya! /F

Back to Point zero

Another rockin' rehearsal today with the boys. Went very well I must say. We're getting tighter with each rehearsal and we refine each song a little bit for each time we play em. We tried out an ending for 'Equlibrium' today, it worked out really well. Its a bit proggy, melodic and epic at the same time. 'Keep It True' got a lot tighter and better today as well, we changed a few minor details and it rocks non stop now.

Today was also the first rehearsal with a metronome. We tried a bunch of tempos for the songs to find the right one's. Playin' to a metronome surely made the band even tighter. Really cool experience to watch the difference. On a side note we pushed the metronome to its fullest during 'The Ride' which exceeds the rockin speed of 208 BPM. Walle was on top of his game today.

Early next week we'll try to record the tracks live with a very simple setup in the rehearsal room. Just to get hear it all from another point of view.

Until next time. Keep it true! /F

Point zero - current songlist

Yesterday at the rehearsal we tried out a new track, its another rocker with a bit of a unusual middle section. I think it will work when we get it tight like a.. ;) Mackan wrote lyrics for both 'Equilibrium' and 'Keep It True'.

The current songlist now looks like this:

1. The Ride (Music: Point zero, Lyrics: Freddy)
2. Untitled (Music: Point zero, Lyrics: Johan will write some lyrics)
3. The Kings Hall (Music: Point zero, Lyrics: Freddy)
4. Merry-go-round (Music: Point zero, Lyrics: Freddy)
5. Equilibrium (Music: Point zero, Lyrics: Mackan)
6. Unbeatable Foe (Music: Point zero, Lyrics: Freddy)
7. My Reason (Music: Point zero, Lyrics: Freddy)
8. Keep It True (Music: Point zero, Lyrics: Mackan)

That's that. On a much more serious note - the sun is shining like crazy outside, it's time for a much needed barbeque!

HAPPY WEEKENDING! /Freddy

Bohemian Rhapsody

A computerized version of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, it's a bit odd and awesome at the same time. I really dig it. It stands out for sure!



(tack Mackan för tipset, störtskön tappning)

One man band

This is beyond amazing. One guy that play a Chick Corea track by himself. He seems to master all of the instruments with no problems at all. What a guy!

Cannibal Corpse Lounge

A funny 'lounge' version of the Cannibal Corpse song 'Rancid Amputation'.



Here's the original if you want to check it:

The real CC version of the song

Point zero - The Rehearsal Room

Today before the rehearsal with Point zero I took some pictures of the place, so now you can see how it looks like.



The rehearsal went great by the way. We tried out the new version of 'merry-go-round', and I'm very pleased with how it sounded. Johan brought some cool changes to the verse as well. Can't wait to record it!

Over and out /F

Old New

Howdy!

Yesterday I uploaded my two (a tad old) contributions to the KR festivals.

A little bit of info about these songs:

'Big Bad Fish' - was my first contribution to the KR festivals, first time I entered. The festival had a forced fish theme, so I got fishy full on. I sing and play everything on this song. It finished in 4th place of 19 songs total I think.

'Dryckesflickan' - my contribution in the other contest I entered. On this one you had Mr Vallhagens (swedish) vocals already recorded and the harmonies for this old song. I trashed it totally with a punk/metal riot :) The verse harmonies and the vocals are the only thing that's from the original song, I wrote all the other riffs to make it interesting. It finished in 2nd place I think...

well, the third one's a charm?

Check em out here: Freddy's myspace!
