My band Mount Vesuvius

[HometownHero]

I hate being that guy. But I am trying to get as much attention to this as I can and hopefully people like what they hear. Here is the link:
http://www.myspace.com/mountvesuvius

Let me know what you guys think. I figured the best place to get feedback is this site even if it means getting ripped a new one by someone. Thanks in advance

[HometownHero]

Let the bumping begin

[HometownHero]

Bumping one more time tonight

[whenyourearound]

you guys should just be called vesuvious, like in the rocker.

[The Summer Ends]

i'm not going to check them out just because i fucking hate you as a poster

Out of curiosity, what did you find boring about it?

there's a place for this: http://absolutepunk.net/forumdisplay.php?f=5

I know. I posted in there. But how many people really look at the self promotion thread? Not many

Vocals were very monotone. Lead guitar drowned out the acoustic guitar when it came in with the vocals. Lead part was a bit annoying. And drums sounded like they were produced in Reason.

I actually don't know how he produced the music. He had that song from his own solo project about two years ago. But I will let him know what to fix. And I will work on my vocals. Thanks for the input I really do appreciate it

[Rodeo]

You used a 2 year old song -- recorded vocals over it -- and called it your own?


Yikes.




Also, layoff the reverb / delay and try to pronounce your words at least a little bit. Not sure if I've caught over 5 words yet.

Word. You have decent pipes, you just need to extend your range a little bit. Don't be afraid to get away from that one register.

[nkalldayyy]

yeah, I've never been in there.
so, I see your point.

Not trying to sound like i am trying to defend myself and be like "I'm good blah blah blah" but with that song I was not able to sing how I normally do. I'm used to pop punk and such and singing much louder and had to bring it down for that song because of how the music worked. Hopefully he'll write a much louder song that i can project on. But again thanks for all the tips. I appreciate it

[HYGz]

no worries. I see where you're coming from. Add me, and let me know when more stuff comes from you guys so I can give it a spin.

Now it's time for you to give me a synopsis on my band. Hit me up and I'll send you the tracks.

[HometownHero]

Love all the constructive feedback so far. Keep it coming!

People are obviously looking at it as my plays keep going up. Why give up? Want people to hear our music. Don't be a dick

[Rodeo]

Waited 3 days to tell me that? That's all i meant... not give up your music... give the promotion a few day rest.

[HometownHero]

They're regurgitated shit from what I have heard

That would be an understatement.

[HometownHero]

That would be an understatement.
According to Kieran from Sing It Loud, I will never be successful in life with my attitude. Tis a shame for me

[HometownHero]

On a serious note we have a song for sale for as low as fifty cents at mountvesuvius.bandcamp.com

[cshadows2887]

Didn't you say you guys were all done?

It's annoying when dudes in bands try to act all intelligent. Just keep it real for crying out loud.

[HometownHero]

Didn't you say you guys were all done?
We were but now we just have ceased playing shows. Going to record more stuff in August. Just have fun with it. Maybe an acoustic show here and there when I come visit.

What did you say anyway? When he asked why you don't like his band.

First messageL
It could be that I think your lead singer is a piece of shit. It could be that I think your music is boring and forgettable. It could be the arrogant attitudes and shitty demeanor I had to be around at shows I didnt want to be at, including Warped tour. There is really no way to change my mind I don't think. Why do I even matter anyway? You guys are doing well. Besides The Maine, your genre is pretty much dead to me anyway. Tired of all you image based bands getting all the attention when bands that I love that work super hard have to end it cause they don't get draws and don't sell records. Its frustrating as fuck you know? Then to see Pat act like a total dolt all the time, and act like he is the Savior of pop-rock because he dates a piece of scum and prances around with Jeffree Star and knows Motion City Soundtrack that we all owe you guys something. I know it sounds like jealousy. Its definitely not. Like I said how in any way could you change my mind anyway? And why would it matter?


Second message:

I was at your shows because at the time you were billed with bands that I enjoyed plus I was with a girl that jocked your bands nuts extra hard. So I was there with her and had to sit through the set. Same with Warped. Then I at least got to sit in the grass. People talk shit. Its a fact. People on this site tell me all the time that my music sucks fat dick, that I am ugly, blah blah blah. I don't let it bother me. We've had fun playing shows being a tiny, not even a blip on the radar band. We wont get opportunities like you cause we are not going to pursue it as hard. Just the facts. I have a real career lined up with music on the side. I will be just fine. This is the fucking internet. People praise bands and people dump all over bands. And Jeffree and Dani express themselves? To be disgusting terrible sluts that are what? They exploit what I love, which is music and they can't even get that right. I saw the video where the Millionaires CD skipped. And those three fools wandered around the stage not knowing what to do. They can't even exploit a market of kids the right way. It ruins music. You supporting it ruins music. And yeah you guys were dicks to me when I met you. Left a bad taste in my mouth not only from the performance I in no way enjoyed but for you dudes as people. I'm about your age. But you seem to think that everyone should just be on a medium with everyone else and that it will all be cool but people dislike things and people like talking about them. You seem like an okay dude. You woudn't have messaged me if you weren't. You were the more quiet of you guys anyway and didnt bother me that much. So best of luck to you. You're doing big things I will never do, which in that fact I am jealous of cause I have never gotten to tour or record on a label budget. So enjoy it and ignore people that dislike you. It'd be easier for you.

Now that's keeping it real.

[Smash Adams]

Hansel: So I'm repelling down Mount Vesuvius when suddenly I slip, and I start to fall. Just falling, ahh ahh, I'll never forget the terror. When suddenly I realize "Holy shit, Hansel, haven't you been smoking Peyote for six straight days, and couldn't some of this maybe be in your head?"
Derek Zoolander: And?
Hansel: And it was. I was totally fine. I've never even been to Mount Vesuvius.

[aradiantsunrise]

:lol:

[maxvsmaradona]

Your one song reminds me of American Football. Maxy likey.

[HometownHero]

hahhaah regurgitated shit. i love it

Hey. I don't like you. I probably won't like your band, either.

...SIKE!

Honestly, I listened to this recently and didn't like it that much, but I don't remember what it even sounded like, lol. I'll revisit when I'm not listening to The National. Whenever that is.

Haha as long as you are honest. You would be one of the better critics to have at it and I would actually respect your opinion. Glad the thread is full of people that I respect the opinion of haha

[xJesusFreakx]

Oh, don't tell me that you respect my opinion. The last thing I need is someone that respects my opinion. I give it enough without being asked anyways. :-d

[HometownHero]

But at least you wouldn't try to hurt my feelings haha

But at least you wouldn't try to hurt my feelings haha

Of course I won't try... It comes naturally, baby.

[xJesusFreakx]

Hm. I don't dislike this, but I don't love it either. Parts of "An Apropos Proposal" reminded me of a not-so-amazing Galaxie 500. I like Galaxie 500, though, so being a lamer version of them isn't the worst thing you can do, lol. And... That's all I have to say for now.

[cshadows2887]

Of course I won't try... It comes naturally, baby.

THe joke that will not die.

It will when I do. Thankfully, I will live forever, so yeah.

Oh, I'm really sorry about that. Here. This should remedy that:

What joke? It's a tagline!

I like Daisy.

Best diss ever. There is no close second. Still love Oasis though.

[cshadows2887]

I need to get some signature thing I'm known for repping so often it becomes an in-joke like Tim with Selena or you with The Microphones.

[xJesusFreakx]

Best diss ever. There is no close second. Still love Oasis though.

I've never been able to get into Oasis, but I agree with the rest of this post. No matter how you feel about the parties involved, that's hardcore.

[cshadows2887]

I love, love, love, love a bunch of their singles. Their albums are a bit dicier. But "Don't Go Away" is one of the best ballads to come out of the 90's.

[IntoTheSun]

I need to get some signature thing I'm known for repping so often it becomes an in-joke like Tim with Selena or you with The Microphones.

Oh no, but then that would just make me Brick 3, or something.

Oh no, but then that would just make me Brick 3, or something.

They may have converted you, but you were the one who ventured to other threads with your love for them. I identify them more with you.

[xJesusFreakx]

Sometimes I wonder if Rick is actually Phil Elverum in disguise. Just sayin'...

[cshadows2887]

Ha ha ha, pretty sure 50% of his posts contain the words "The Microphones" or "The Glow Pt.2" in them. Seriously, yo.

I guess I just don't post in any of the same threads as him.

[cshadows2887]

How did this go from Mount Vesuvius to Mount Eerie? Ha

Wait...when did you ever actually comment on-topic? Lol.

[aradiantsunrise]

I feel like listening to Gatsbys American Dream now after looking at this name every time I go into the music forum.

[cshadows2887]

Wait, but then...oh...that's just awkward.

Trying to figure out who the other guy was in that threesome with Rick and "Phil"?

Wow. I just offended myself.

[xJesusFreakx]

Wait, but then...oh...that's just awkward.

This is unrelated, but that Janelle Monae girl drops her new album tomorrow, and I think I'm gonna pick it up. The bit of the MySpace stream I hit up was fun.

[cshadows2887]

When it's necessary. I had a feeling I'd just drop in for a comment...but oh a couple posts later and here I still am. We should move this elsewhere.



I am so confused.

You joked about it being awkward that Phil and Rick are the same person. I imagine a scenario in which that would be the case.

[HometownHero]

Well as long as this thread keeps getting bumped I am happy I guess haha even if I no longer know what is happening

Some girl got on my ass for going off topic and ''flirting'' in the post your picture thread yesterday.

[IntoTheSun]

Don't think she was out of line saying stuff.

[HometownHero]

Some girl got on my ass for going off topic and ''flirting'' in the post your picture thread yesterday.

I just read through it. They were being fucking retarded. But those are the "elite" users for you. They have been here longer so you owe them something. How does one flirt on these forums anyway? Its near impossible. Fuck em

[aradiantsunrise]

I know I could have toned it down but it just irks me that most of what she said about me is wrong. There's also the fact that she's a hypocrite after someone else pointed that out to me.

[HometownHero]

Don't think she was out of line saying stuff.

Also: don't you hate me? Weird seeing you in a thread that was originally, about me

[aradiantsunrise]

I guess when a guy jokes around with a girl it's automatically considered flirting, I don't know lol.

Any time I even talk to Eda i get threatened with a ban haha people are definitely uptight

[IntoTheSun]

Hahaha, I was so not chewed up. I like to think she gave up so I won by default.

There was nothing to 'win.' She was being critical of you, you thought it was unfair critcism.

Also: don't you hate me? Weird seeing you in a thread that was originally, about me

I dislike some of your posts.

And yes, flirting is very much possible.

[aradiantsunrise]

Any time I even talk to Eda i get threatened with a ban haha people are definitely uptight
Eda hates you that much? lol

That's pretty much how I feel about it.

[aradiantsunrise]

[quote=aradiantsunrise;67585932]Eda hates you that much? lol



I dont think she does? Haha we just had a decent talk about States/Mindy White. Just when I mention her looks in a joking I want her way she threatens it and so does that swirlofhues I think it is. Whatevs. I don't flirt on message boards. One, I wouldn't know how too, two there is no point since this is not real life and three its weird. That is why we all joke.
Oh, misunderstood that.

I try not to flirt but sometimes it happens and sometimes I don't even realize when I do it.

[HometownHero]

Eda hates you that much? lol


That's pretty much how I feel about it.

These quotes are getting fucked up haha its not a big deal. Its the internet

[cshadows2887]

See funny thing about flirting. It usually just emerges naturally from conversations with people you find interesting. You know, like in the real world.

[HometownHero]

No wonder I flirt with you so much

[cshadows2887]

HAHAHAHAHAHA. That cracked me up.

[HometownHero]

:bow: Haha good shit.

As for Mount Vesuvius look how sexy I am:

[cshadows2887]

Ew Daisy and a hipster hat? See how often I flirt with you anymore, Kyle.

[HometownHero]

It came with my Hot Topic bundle haha and it was my only clean shirt left. And the hat was because I hadn't showered and was covering it up as this picture shows: http://i40.tinypic.com/14lrq4k.jpg

I can see the grease

[cshadows2887]

Grease is the word...

[cshadows2887]

Nice catch of reference. Mmm. Sandy in bad-girl mode.

[HometownHero]

I need to watch that amazing movie again. I want to be in a Grease cover band. That soundtrack is badass

[cshadows2887]

"You're the One That I Want" is a classic song. No irony.

[aradiantsunrise]

These quotes are getting fucked up haha its not a big deal. Its the internet
Eda backed me so I feel better now, haha.

I hate being that guy. But I am trying to get as much attention to this as I can and hopefully people like what they hear. Here is the link:
