Fuck, having allergies sucks. Having a two week span of my voice being fucked up because of allergies sucks even worse. Having a COLD after just getting my voice back after two weeks FUCKING SUCKS HAIRY COCKS!
Anyway, after all that, my voice is still in limbo. I really need to take some voice lessons so I can get it stronger so that when I abuse it, it can recover faster. Singing like Killswitch is cool as hell, but murder on my precarious vocal threshold. Of course, my own songs don't tend to stress my voice, because I know my limits, but I'm always trying to get better. The little bit of vocal excersizing I'm doing is helping, I think, because I'm able to hit notes I was having trouble with a couple of months ago much more easily. Damn, I need money. Too bad I don't have tits... I could totally be a camwhore. :)
I got a pm on a messageboard I'm on from a guy who wants me to sing for his band. I listened to their current stuff on their website, and their current singer (whom the guy describes as OK) is fucking atrocious, but not really his fault. He needs voice lessons, or a better mix so he can sing on key. The worst part of what I heard was the gawdawful lyrics. I mean, I wrote better stuff in junior high. I hope they don't want me to sing that shite. I can't do it. I once tried out for Kruller, and they had me sing "Bonded by Blood" by Exodus. That shit is some stupid, ridiculous garbage, and I don't see how any metal fans worth their salt could ever think that was tolerable. AND IT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE!!! I tivoed Headbangers Ball... and theres this band... fucking Three Inches of Blood, I think the name was. FUCKING HORRIBLE!!! I mean, if "Bonded by Blood" had bad lyrics, it was definitely in the infancy of metal, but this shit is after we've gotten serious bands who write meaningful lyrics, and it's FUCKING LAUGHABLE! If you're a metal band, you don't use the term "warriors of metal" or some such lame bullshit as a lyric in your songs. Unless you're Spinal Tap or Darkness, where we know it's a joke.
Well, the search goes on. Still trying to either join a decent band, or start an awesome one. If I can find a decent band, I can make them awesome by joining, and if I start one, it will be awesome by default.
