[Spider Ruff Boy]

Heya, i've returned once again >.<
Alright, I don't know if i've mentioned it, but I put together a new band and we're called AFS (which stands for anything anybody wants it to).

We have a myspace website setup, but there's no music on it yet, although the album is all done. Keep checking up on the site to hear my music (i'm all guitars and all vocals).

Btw, for those who don't know it, my name is Klaus (as listed on the site).
Enjoy and check back for music. I'll also post again ehre when there is music uploaded which will probably be within the week.

That's impressive Spidey, I hope to hear your band's sound soon. Good luck, for sure.

Hey, okay, so there are some samples of songs up. I say "samples" because for whatever reason teh converter I used to change the songs to .mp3 format (which is what fucking myspace uses) hugely dumbed quality (but its still good) as well as cut some songs short. Allow me to go through the songs (nobody knows them better then the writer :) )

All I Need - as its title suggests, its everything that I need...I didn't lyrically write this track, only musically. It's about beer, cars, women, and more manly things (the drummer wrote the lyrics...fucking drummers). The song cuts out halfway through my guitar solo...yay

Be Heard - A personal favourite, this is about politics and independence...essentially. This also cuts through in the middle of my guitar solo

Life Again - I wrote this one like 4 years ago, musically and lyrically and yesh, its all about secks hence the sexy tone of my voice ;)

So y'all know, the website says that Emanual is the signer, which is he "now", but during the time of the recording I ended up doing vocals...so in these recordings i'm the singer as well as rhythm and lead guitars.

Enjoy :)

(Feedback would be muchos appreciated)

Feedback? Arright.

Generally, all three songs are good. Specifically, "Life Again" is awesome in its entirety, and "All I Need" has one of the best openings I've ever heard. Better than most stuff I hear on the radio, for sure. The again, all I hear on the radio nowadays are lame-ass geek DJs talking about stupid shit and when they aren't I'm listening to commercials so mebe that isn't saying much. But yea, You guys got a great band and I definitely anticipate the album release. I'll feedback more when it comes out.

Just as long as all your songs aren't about how much you love your girlfriends, how much you hate your ex-girlfriends and how sad you are because your girlfriends broke up with you, I will definitely support your band.

Pretty nice dude. I've only got through "All I need" at the moment.

Oh, how long have you been playing guitar? And what equipment did you use?

[Spider Ruff Boy]

Haha, we definitely will never write about stuff like that Gopher. My drummer would execute me if I did, and considering that he benches 300 pounds and has stolen my nickname of Spider-Man...I don't wanna fuck with him, lawl. The furthest we'll get to less typical AFS topics (like beers or politics) will be more touchy subjects such as death, or losing people before their time (we have a track called Inside of You which is a very pretty track IMO, has a huge backstory involving rr.net actually, but I won't go into detail in respect for the people involved).

As for my equipment, it's pretty shit save for my guitar. I'm playing a music man sub1 model, a ghetto digitech rp300 (rp is it?) box, and for the recording I played on a JCM marshall stack. The guitars were dubbed twice for all rhythms which is what gives it the huge sound.

I've been playing for about 5 years now. If ur interested in guitar solos, none of those songs exhibit me very well >.<. I go more into it in The Tragedy of a Broken Man (the 18 minute epic)
