Practise in Studio

Yesterday Kaan, Emir and I went to studio to get prepared for the elemination of Talent Show. We thought it would be fantastic, but it wouldn't start the way we thought. Although we had played "Breed" very consistently, we could not play the song, called "Askın Gozu" very well in first 40 minute. There was something wrong when we played, but we could not realize for 40 minutes. Then, we found out that the rhythm was very fast. It means the problem based on my drums. I was playing faster that ı should. So I reduced the speed of playing drums and the song started to be played wonderfully. We could play the song very well for 3 time in last 20 minutes of practise. We really had fun and such a fantastic, Musical day.

Covers!!

There're many groups which cannot make their own melodies, songs and make covers of old songs. I'm not telling that all of the covers are awful, but I think making covers shows lack of quality of groups. One of the best groups in Turkey, which creates wonderful covers, is "Üç Nokta Bir". Although I'm against covers I like listening their covers. Their last cover is "umbrella" by Rihanna. They changed the song in a rock way and they really rock!!! I hope you'll like it too when you listen to it.

Talent Show Elemination!!

Kaan, Emir, who are my friends from 9th grade, and I joined to the eliminations of talent show as a music group. Kaan is the electric guitarist and the soloist, Emir is the bass guitarist and I'm the drummer of the group. We played the song called "Köpek" by Athena, which is the cover of the song "Breed" by Nirvana. I think we played well. (thought we had played better in studio) However, the jury didn't accept the song. The reason was announced that there are some slang words in the song, but they gave us another chance to sing another Turkish song until the 1th of April. So we've been thinking about what the new song will be. We haven't decided the new song but we determined 3 songs, which are "Deli" by Mor ve Otesi and "Gol" and "Askın Gozu" by Malt. In my opinion, the new song should be Askın gozu, but ofcourse the desicion should be accepted by the all members of the group. Anyway, I hope we'll be joining to the talent show. If we cannot join, it's okay. I won't be sad, because we played together and had a lot of fun.

Muse's New Album is Coming Up

One of the best rock bands, Muse is releasing a new album in the second part of 2009. Like every fan of Muse, I'm waiting for this album eagerly. The solist of the group, Matthew Bellamy, announced that the most challenging song that they have ever done will be covered in this album. This song will be like a symphony. If the album will be the lasts albums of them, I'm sure that it'll be very amusing. In my opinion, they should produce songs like their most popular songs, called time is running out and starlight.

Eminem's New Single

The Slim Shady came back with a fantastic single, called " Crack a Bottle ". Beside Eminem, 50 cent and Dr. Dre sings one part of the song. I think this the best rap song I've listened. I'm really affected by the single. The rhytim and the lyrics of the song are wonderful. I'm extremely curious about Eminem's new singles.
