The Music of GOT

Not open for further replies.
The guitar thread reminded me that we have a lot of musicians on here. Not sure if there is a thread for this already but this is a place for the talented people of GOT to post their material. Pretty sure @Old Blue 2 will have something to contribute,and @mezzrow if I'm not mistaken?

This is all my stuff going back 10 years, a few EPs. I was a trainwreck of nerves on stage, so any career I might have hoped to pursue was quickly dashed after a few repeated bed-soilings, but I did like the studio and the composition element of music. Show us your tunes


Listened to Conventional Means - good that Prev. Be surprised if you don't list Josh Homme as an influence?

Just started playing in a band for the first time and we sound a little bit like the smashing pumpkins, without really knowing what we were going to sound like going in. I do a few acoustic covers from time to time. Here's one of an Elliott Smith song, like the original you need to turn it right up. Goodbye sweet anonymity.

That's class mate, lovely voice and guitar style. Must give that song a look, I don't know much of Elliott Smith apart from the name. You and the band aiming to do live shows?

And yes, the guitar sound on Standby was defo QOTSA inspired, I probably rip from them and Muse more than anything else these days.
 


It's bad form, as I love music so much and have some acquaintances who've slogged away in the cruelty of the music scene for many a year...but, I mean, just the first 30 seconds

That sounds unreal mate. I take it this is your job, any big tours coming up?
I'm retired, and I made most of my $ as a mainframe programmer. I gig around with some of the local big bands, this one included. I taught high school band until my mid-30's and got into the computer gig like so many of my other musical mates with a good theory/arranging background because the $ was so much better. It was easy to see where the future was going, if you just looked at it. In my 20's I worked with the local symphony as a sub/rehearsal sub on clarinet and bass clarinet.

Swing dancing is big around here, and it keeps a lot of guys busy. I'm not so prone to drag it out and work the late night gigs at this point, so mostly I play with our local community windband, which is the best non-paid group in the area. It's full of professional players+music teachers+other folks who can pass the audition who play for the grins and the chance to play with other folks who play well. Our windband will be touring Switzerland, Germany, and France this summer unless the Wu-Tang flu throws a monkey wrench into our plans. Here we are a couple of weeks ago being conducted by the composer of the piece you hear.
