I know how to get famous
 

Start a stoner rock band. It is the next big thing. All the guitar kiddies are asking in guitar forums how to get that stoner rock sound.

drone band, do a drone band!

yeah, the next big thing is stoner/doom/sludge.

boooring.

i wouldn't want to be famous anyway. i probably already am and don't know it yet.

more like infamous, darling.

Court knows who you are.

I am convinced that by the end of this decade, the two most dominant (and perhaps opposing) forces in metal will be New Wave Of American Heavy Metal guys like Lamb Of God, Shadows Fall, and Killswitch Engage and slower, more ambient "post metal" bands like Neurosis, Isis, and Sunn O))).

I'm rooting for the post metal guys...had enough of drop-C tunings and harmonic minor scales...

if you wanna get famous kill someone then everyone will know who you are.

Kill someone famous.

Going to parties in overpriced clothes seems to be the key to fame nowadays. I believe it helps if you have a drug problem too.

i am actually famous already, women throw their kinckers at me walking down the street, i released a cover of "darling hold the candle while i shave the chickens lip" in my home town and people went nutz, its escaleted from there really, fancy dinners with the mayor and westlife. great old times...

then it went all wrong when i slagged off Ronan Keating. they had "chickin lip" burnings up and down the country..

christ that man has some grip on ireland.

Well fishy,lets put it this way:every time i step put of the house i have an army of synchronized dancers behind my back and there to protect me while i walk into the shop to buy a pint of milk.

killing is overrated,what about resucitating someone?
now that would be something to talk about.i mean,jesus and that Lazarus thing is still big around the world.

What a shame that we no longer have Top Of The Pops on TV in the UK. I would have enjoyed seeing SunnO)))))))))))))))))))))))))) appearing on it.

It also helps if you're a lady (hahaha!) and your breast, or at the very least your nipple, finds it impossible to stay within said overpriced clothes.

I thought stoner rock was already a little passé.
I like a lot of it, but most of those bands sound exactly the same.

that's what's happening right now, and the whole melodic death metal whatever had it's artisttic heyday from 2001 to 2002.

Make a fucking wonderful existentialistic music album, offer it to some label, and just before the release, commit suicide.

Are you?

why would anyone want to be famous?

to get girls?

Exactly...

i know how!!!! start a noise band, leave an amp with three distortion pedals on for like 8 hours everyday for a week, cut it up, release each second of it on a different format, press two of each, sell it as a super limited edition and say you are influenced by merzbow, wolf eyes and prurient but more hardcore and you're set!

and have some nice packaging for your releases too.

nah, you can do 3" cd-rs with single color spray paints and paper sleeves.

i was reading a rolling stone magazine at school and saw kim and thurston hitting a hookah with the yyy's

Doing something for the sole purpose of becoming famous is stupid. Fame should be a by-product of something worthwhile. You don't go eat at a restaurant because you want to have a shit.

Did you make that up yourself? That's awsome. I love the metaphor, or whatever it's called in english.

Hahahaha. I'm not saying I want to famous, just that it is easy if you cash in on the latest trends.

I believe you just exposed their wet dreams.

Thanks to You Thank You
Thank You very Much

Thank You

kill george dubya that will make ya famous

uh,that's good enuff,actually.

being famous is like being in prison. just ask the royal family.

i know how you can get famous julian

stick a carrot in your ass (the tip only) and then chew it in, crunchy bite by cruchy byte. now here is the imporant thing: MAKE SURE TO GET IT ON VIDEO. get good closeups. and mic the scene well so that you get every crunchy crunch on the audio track. then you simply put the video up on myspace WITH YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS clearly visible in every frame.

guaranteed to bring you worldwide popularity in a couple of days. you'll be more famous that tubgirl.

Wait a minute. I've read this before somwhere, can't remember where thoug h, damn.

And around this time I started doing a drone band.

Luckily, we go for a bit of a different sound but damn.

The reason I bumped this thread...

For the new scissor shock album, I made up 50 promo copies. The actual album is going to be limited to 50 copies, so I made up 50 promos, which had the art copied from a printer with some neatly-handwritten text for the tracklisting, album title, etc. You know, not a super professional thing but actually quite time consuming and costly when you consider I mailed out 50 of these to places like Bulgaria and shit.

Anyway, the response has been quite good, a lot of people like the new album..

But I've gotten one email from someone saying they wouldn't review it because there's no packaging.. okay, fair enough.. then I got a review from vitalweekly saying how the music was great but the packaging sucked so they weren't going to say anything about it until I sent them a well packaged release.

Now in all seriousness, when did noise and related genres become all about the packaging? My music has always been about music and nothnig more -- I don't give a fuck if it's packaged in a condom or whatever, that's the last thing on my mind. However, the more I started thinking about it, the more I noticed noise releases over the years........ "this is some good feedback stuff but MAN THE PACKAGINGI S CRAZY" I always see reviews like that, never noticed it before.

I'm going to do an experiment wherein I release something in the craziest fucking package ever and release a CD of silence and see how many good reviews I get.

Make sure to package it in a condom. And if you don't find a condom large enough:
