Spot on, another good choice. I was obviously bitter at grunge signalling the fall of thrash but I secretly liked Pearl Jam's groove and singing along... don't tell anyone! We were pretty close to that scene as it was happening, I remember the end of our free 2nd annual Halloween Mosh gig at the skatepark we had some friends come up and jam and Jaime started the Smells Like Teens Spirit riff and the chicks start screaming and I learned it there on the spot before ever hearing it. Our bassist was huge on Primus and Infectious Grooves, learning some funk slap, so one day we wrote 2 funky/grunge/metal songs that were like freestyle jam improv and I was experimenting with some more funk chords and clean channel solo's between heavy parts and lyrics off the top of my head, lol... We taped them on boombox in the attic to remember and arrange properly later with working titles One Calorie Jam & H8 SUX that I put as bonus tracks on the end of our 4 track thrash demo.
It's amazing to me that you have story for every song that I play! You had a band in highschool right? I'm trying to find people to form a band outside of this rock academy but it's few and far between. Sometimes I wish I was alive during the 80s for that reason: I wouldn't be one of the few who liked that stuff and it would be easier to jam with people.
@@thrashnicity5913 Lol, I'm like the "Grandpa Simpson" of metal... like when the kids ask him something simple and he goes on tangents for an hour, haha... Seems like Craigslist in ur area would have a lot of ads under "musicians"? I was lucky to meet Chip in 8th grade who had drums and cool parents that let us jam almost every day in the attic before we could hardly even play a power chord. We were like Bill&Ted... I only had about 5 or 7 official lessons the year before and crappy gear but we made stuff up and tried covers by ear and within a couple years got pretty tight. My playlists shows the progression by year, I hope to inspire and you are way ahead in skill and deserve a band! */w\TMFR/w\*
