And guys...If I did record an album I garantee You would like it. I would love to throw down some of my best material just to blow the new "rock/metal" shit that is around these days out of the fuckin water!
I am in the best position to do this. Its about time someone stepped up to the plate and introduced talent back into rock.

I do get a hard time from some people tho.. If I go to a party these days I ussually throw on any classic Van Halen Record or maybe High Voltage (AC/DC), or dirty deeds(AC/DC), maybe the Crue's greatest hits, some drunk people have a problem with it but thier is ussually someone to back me up and tell them to fuck off! LMAO

Much blood was shed to these tunes...

Grate Man, I hope they sign you. Rock could use a few people like you right now. We need that attitude back really badly. I mean I'm just so sick of listening to some guy bitch about Life sucks and he wants to kill himself. Classic AC/DC and Classic Van Halen together? Their only in my top 3 bands of all time. Do you like Classic Aerosmith too LOL.
Cover a CVH tunes on the record, that would kick ass.

**faddam234** · 10-30-2005, 06:38 PM

I have a couple Aerosmith records that my pop dug when he was a lad. I like to throw them on now and again. I find it entertaining when I hear a new "rock" group these days whine about life and girl friends etc. I mean fuck, how many bands have to write the same song over and over. Its way worse for me tho. I gotta live this shit cuz unfortunatly, anyone between the ages of 17 - 26 are listening to it. I honestly believe I have something unique and fresh to add to the table right now. Im quite familliar with alot of better bands but if anyone has any suggestions I could maybe learn a thing or two.

I would love to cover a classic Van Halen song but it would have to be a song that not many know. I like to dig up classic songs that didnt do so well and see what I can do with it (giving credit where it is due ofcoarce). Im thinkin bottoms up. Ill go down to the studio tommorow and try my hand at it. Should be fun.

VH, AC/DC? Sure sounds good to me! "Bottoms Up" is actually a song that might be suited to combine both VH and AC/DC influences. If you tweak it a little bit

**faddam234** · 10-31-2005, 06:09 AM

That is the beauty of artistic expression my friend. Ive set it up with the owner of the studio... He is a very good friend of my family so I can get free studio time when its available.. Im goin down tommorow in the wee hours of the morning to try out some demo's of some Van Halen Im thinking of doin amongst other things...

I will let you guys know how it goes and when I have something worthy of posting I will post Bottoms up...however, dont expect it to sounds alot like the original. When I cover songs I like to change it in a way to make it unique (Mr. Roth is a master at this). Think... A bit more beat driven and maybe a touch more blues in the mix.. expect Heavy guitars aswell.

I will keep you posted. Pointers on what any of you would like to here or ideas to make this song unique are more than welcome!

Roth on!

I don't think I agree with that analogy. Emo-metal is more like the grunge of the 2000's.

I am now in talks with roadrunner records about a possible record deal and a contract...thank you Dave, Eddie, Mike, and AL. If it wasnt for you I dont know where my life would be.

Thanks for listenin guys!
DRINK UP!

What is emo metal?

**ELVIS** · 10-31-2005, 12:26 PM

Post some of your bullshit here for us to listen to...

I'm in the mood to hurt someone's feelings...

**faddam234** · 10-31-2005, 03:10 PM

lmao. Elvis I respect you completely and from reading some of your posts you sound like an amazing musician. But I dont think you could hurt my feelings when it comes to music...

Anyways, I just got back from the studio. I laid down a guitar track for bottoms up and started polishing up some other songs of mine. And yes I will post some of my music when its polished and respectable. Id like to post maybe an albums worth of material for those who might enjoy it. Thanks for the positive comments.

I love reading stories where your major influence is attibuted to the Original VAN HALEN with our guy, Dave. Stories like this make life so much sweeter and they are ones that I can bet make Dave feel Great! You should express it to him on his radio gig....

and By The Way....GO BUY his book "Crazy from the Heat" - you will get even more inspired of all his stories of before, during and after Van Halen's success and what inspires him. It's a great read and it makes you go back and listen to the CD's with knowing the background story to the songs recorded....

Please share your recording with us....you'll be starting off with a good fan-base!!!

**faddam234** · 10-31-2005, 05:51 PM

Bantonelli, I have daves book and have read it a number of times. So I understand and agree with everything you said! Thanks so much for the comments and I garantee that the Roth Army will be the first place ill post my work.

Wouldn't it be cool if you get signed on and have Diamond Dave debut it on his Radio gig...perhaps he ends up inviting you to do it live before our Naked Steaming Eyes and Ears...Including Dave's????

LMAO!
That would be the day!

Van Halen.
