The band I was in in the early 90s was shoegaze death metal. 
This was our debut single, that's me doing the guitar solo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lktrETg5RtE |

How were Dillinger Escape Plan? Immense mate, played downstairs at the uni where the sound is spot on. Got rid of my ear cold anyway. |

I've heard both Bastard's band and yours and it is obvious which one is best. I once played the 5L(L) youtube clip to someone and they were appalled. They asked: "Why would anyone put shite like that up?" |

They copy and pasted a review from teletext onto their my space page in which they were awarded 6 out of 10. Says it all really. |

that growling thing is fuckin rubbish. That's not music, it's just nonsense that a group of monkeys could probably come up with. |

This is true. That is why I've never kidded myself that I could play in a band and entertain lots of other people. As Dirty Harry said in Magnum Force, " A man's got to know his limitations".
