Saudi Shred

Posted by Dave Gutierrez

You will also see on the pictures our former guitarist, Albert. (the cute one..lol) He is a shred machine with his Washburn guitar. He is the one responsible why I am a great thrash metal fan. He shared me all the must have thrash metal albums. He is a faster shredder than me. He is disciplined and competent enough for the band but he had to go to Saudi for his job. Engineering I think his course is. I hope he will not smell like saudi if he comes back. What I hope is he will look like Saudi. Wearing maong jacket and pants with gold rings and necklaces all over him. With matching shades and rubber shoes. Manuel, Clark, Calix, Me and Albert is one of the strongest line up we've had. This is the time when we've experienced a lot of gigs.

Second Hand Guitar

Posted by Dave Gutierrez

Im thinking of buying another guitar. The one with a floyd rose in it. Because the one that I have, A Sonata Proll, doesn't have a floyd rose. So if i try to use the tremolo bar, the guitar will be detuned.My friend is selling me a yamaha RG guitar with floyd rose for P7,000.

The original price of that guitar is P24,000. But the problem is it has some scratches. I think of buying this guitar and get it refurbished.

I also found a vendetta dean guitar with maple finish but no floyd rose for sale for P4,500 in a jam

studio in vista verde, pasig. Im also interested on that one. Im just waiting for my payday for me to purchase any of the two.

The reason why I wanna buy another guitar is because Im tired of having me and my brother use a single guitar. He also has a band so we are having difficulty using only one guitar. But sometimes he uses a Yamaha strat borrowed from his friend.

My ideal guitar is the ESP Alexi laiho signature. its $419 i think. Its about P18,000+ converted to peso. Its a flying V guitar with floyd rose. It has 2 colors, black and white. I want the black one of course. I dont know if we have it here in the Philippines and if ever we have it here, I'm gonna save my job income for it. I try to order it on musiciansfried.com http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/ESP-LTD-Alexi-Laiho200-Electric-Guitar?sku=512896 and its 15$ per month + additional charges but they dont accept orders from the Philippines. $15 is equal to P675 if the rate is P45/$1. Nice price.

New Guitarist

Posted by dave Gutierrez

Anyway, we've got our new guitarist, his name is Ken, great axeman, we dont have a picture of him yet here on our blog but we will grab it soon. (I'll try a nude one.lol) Better and more experienced player than me. He is a close friend of some of the guys from end this day. He replaced my little brother benjo gutierrez because benjo is more focused on his own metalcore/hardocre band stygian fury.

I also experienced watching Stygian guys jam and play. Their sound is hardcore and metalcore music with black metal sounded vocals.. weird.. hehe. One thing is they dont put guitar solos on thier songs even though they know how to do it. Maybe because benjo (the one who directs the band) is more of a hardcore than a metal kid.

We also experienced having migs as our guitarist. Migs is a very excellent guitarist. I think he had two bands, Delta Blues and Garden of Eden. He is a great guy but we are having problems with him regarding schedule. He is the guy that you can always see on Wilfredos bar because he is living there. We've lso experienced jamming on the bar late in the afternoon. Great guy, great talent.
Manuel, Clark, Calix and me are all working on a graveyard shift. I think Calix works day and night. lol. Calix maybe is working all day long.. joke.. Thats the reason why we have difficulty on our schedules. This affects our jam time. Manuel is in Ambergris, Clark is in Itouchpoint, Me in Teleperformance, and Calix in NCO (RMH), Bunch of callboys.

Ken is an excellent guitar player and I hope he would be a great contribution the our music and to the scene. Ken had many bands and side projects but I hope he can do the fucking metal with us.

Bridgeway

Posted by Dave Gutierrez

I wanna share what happened in our gig at Bridgeway, Brick Road, Cainta, near Sta. lucia Mall. Our set was great (we miss having great sets..) even though we're second to the last band to play. So, most of people are already home and only few people are left to finish the show.

I Messed up the Gig

Posted by Dave Gutierrez

These are some of the pictures taken from our last gig at wilfredos, i dont remember the date. What i remember is we messed up on the stage a lil bit (especially me). My guitar is on "fucked up mode" again where it just creates a humming noise and it doesnt catch the signal from the jack and amplifier .It made me borrow my friend's Washburn guitar.

That situation seldom happens, ( It just happens often 3 years ago when we were just kids playing our post-hardcore music. ) That's the reason why I was totally pissed because I messed up the whole set and thats why i went home early. I didn't even finish the gig itself.

Anyway I got my guitar fixed myself and make sure that scenario won't happen again especially at gigs. hehe,.Some of the pictures here are from our jam the same day the gig was also scheduled. we didnt have enough practice or jam time because everyone especially Calixtro is busy (hmmm....).
