Chase

Hey, Im also a metal head. Ive been in a couple of metal bands playin drums. What i notice when our singer used to write lyrics is that.....they really werent too much different from anything else you would hear. Its all about grooving the melody into the music. I suggest that you read a couple of poems and get some insight. Its a good way to start from scratch. Dont worry about "being hardcore" I listen to alot of metal i.e. It dies today, parkway drive, as blood runs black, war of ages.... when you actually read their lyrics you could almost imagine them being lyrics in any other type of music. Kinda like killswitch engage with holy diver. The band makes it metal...not the lyrics.

I was introduced into music when i was 5 years old. Piano. Well about 10 years later i started playin the drums and guitar. I loved it....it was my life. I joined the military after high school and got right back into it after boot camp. So to cut to the chase...Ive been in bands, played open mics and try to play everyday....but the truth is that im not into it like i used to be. It seems like a chore to practice or to play. Deep down inside i know i love music...but i cant get back into it. I have always wanted to Be a solo artist as an acoustic player....i tried it once, the music was fine but the people said it was god awful singing. So that kinda got me down. What do you think is goin on with me? is it time to set everything down? or is this a phase? Id like to hear if you have ever had anything like this happen to you.
