cucaracha - 4/21/2006 11:16:37 AM I tried for this but I broke a string in the audition.
Mummyman - 4/19/2006 3:26:30 PM Tanfan: Grow up, As lame as this contest may be, it's still just a contest. This isn't an indictment of guitarist
tanfan - 4/17/2006 7:59:54 PM Competing for "air Guitar" champion is a slap in the face of all people who are great guitarists. Why does the best "air guitar" player actually win a REAL guitar? Why don't they win an........ "Air Guitar"? What a bogus competition!!!!
Blobber - 4/17/2006 7:24:48 PM Biofag. Fuck you and your arrogant wishful thinking. Just got signed, eh? Big fucking shit. The metal world's littered with the savaged corpses of pathetic also-ran loser bands just like your Lambfag! You'll be lucky if you don't get dumped off your label within a year. Enjoy touring Dennys restaurants in Nebraska when it's 20 degrees below zero, your mom's VW bus/Lambsfag "tour bus" breaks down, and your tent collapses at the KOA you're staying at. Fuck you and the 230 Cds you'll sell! Fucking losers!
Mummyman - 4/14/2006 10:22:32 PM right after tamborine,triangle & cowbell comes air guitar. in a word...fuckinglame
Leather_Lung - 4/14/2006 3:03:18 PM biofreeze: you best get down on your knees and repent if you please! Who the fuck do you think you are??? Now that I know your band's name is Lamb Sacrifice, I'll be watchin and waitin; yeah, you got it right, bitch! That's my camouflaged face at your mom's bedroom window...
SpeedKillz - 4/14/2006 9:51:58 AM CC! Pick up that guitar and talk to me!
CallsemasI - 4/14/2006 6:20:19 AM Hey Bifreeze,so lets get this straight.#1 - You come on KNAC and alienate the only people that would possibly be interested in your band, by calling us losers.#2- You give away your privacy by giving away your band name, allowing one of us "losers" to show up at one of your sausage fest shows and choke your ass with with an air guitar string. #3 I think most of us probably know a least a few really good guitar players, but how many of them feel the need to convey how fucking great they are...Answer=None, I can just picture Vai...hey losers, you suck, but check me out..I rule,#4 Nice band name loser, I feel like I've already heard your band, perhaps if try real hard you can get on the sausage deathfest and open for The meatshits!# Roadrunner eh??....BAH HA HA HA!!!,guess you can quit asking people if they want that biggie sized, cuz you're goin places bro! Better hope your bands a five piece, cuz you may need backup...Lamb sacrifice......Bah HA HA, WHENS THE GREATEST HITS DO OUT MR.CLAPTON??
Mortiis1313 - 4/13/2006 4:30:50 PM Awww, I could do an awesome air accordion to "Cherrie Pie." I guess I can't compete?
CashforChaos - 4/13/2006 3:16:53 PM Avengerkillerof, here is a website to check them out. www.livingformetal.com/bands/band.aspx?band=218
CashforChaos - 4/13/2006 3:13:36 PM Avengerkillerof,if you like Savatage "Edge of Thorns" & "Handful of Rain" you'll like Circle II Circle. Jon Oliva is still the man for Savatage, but Zach Stevens was a good fit as well.
Avengerkillerof - 4/13/2006 12:47:11 PM thanks for the heads up. I'll check out their latest on your recommendation.
CashforChaos - 4/13/2006 11:34:19 AM Avengerkillerof, their more in the line of Savatage. Remember Zach Stevens took over for Jon Oliva when he had some vocal issues. I believe Chris Caffery did some guitar work on Circle II Circle as well.
rahan - 4/13/2006 10:38:12 AM blobber has been air masturbating for years , and wonders why he's got balls that weights more than 20 pounds,..
Avengerkillerof - 4/13/2006 10:25:39 AM I'm not familiar with Circle II Circle's stuff Cash, but if they're along the lines of Stratovarius, I'll definitely make an effort to hear their stuff.
