Boss distortion pt2


I remembered during the 90s era when we did a front act to a Philippine local band called “Yano” where I only had one guitar effects and it’s the famous orange stomp box Boss Distortion that was lend to me by my good friend "Daboy" as he wants his gadget to be signed by the band. During that time, my band was Frozbyte and we are newbie in the world of Rock/Alternative. We performed three cover songs that gig; Selling the drama by Live, Today by Smashing Pumpkins and Long Hair by another Philippine local group called The Weedd. My set up that night was a borrowed Sunburst Lyon strat by Washburn which I always use or borrow from Louie the man, Boss distortion and my settings of Tone at 12 o’clock, Level at 10 o’clock and Dist all the way up. Then the amp that I used was a cabinet amp 4x4 but I couldn't recall the brand if it was Marshall or Peavey but it was such a powerful stack amp and it was really loud that I can feel the air behind me everytime I strum or do powerchords especially when we did the soundcheck and played the song "Today" by Smashing Pumpkins. Boss distortion did not fail me and until now I can vividly remember my experience during that gig. This little orange stomp box is my hero and a legend, a truly old school rock gadget.

Subtle Culprits - new band to follow this 2015

I recently formed a group called Subtle Culprits. It was pure luck to meet all these awesome musicians. It all started with JoinMyBand.  I was desperate for a vocalist and do some acoustic duo so I posted on JoinMyBand as well as Gumtree some ads that Im interested for a vocalist to collaborate with and that Im based in Romsey. There were people who showed interest i.e. emailed me and contacted me. There was one as well who came and visited for an audition. I really admired her voice but still didn't work out because it took me awhile to contact her back after that audition due to moving houses. Anyways, she did not reply or show any interest after that. So, I continued trying my luck. The first one to join was Dan. He got interested because we are from the same area (Romsey). So he messaged me and said that he is a songwriter and a musician. Can play guitar but much comfortable with the bass. So we arranged a meetup and chat, and we did. Exchanged some ideas and songs online...

I mentored a band from scratch

I was first year college, studying nursing when a group of youngsters from Capiz National High School asked  me to help them form a band.  Their band leader was Betong who was the brain of this brilliant idea.  None of the group plays instrument although most of them got knowledge of what the band is and what instruments like drums, keyboards, bass and guitars.  Anyway to cut the story short, the band was starting from scratch or not even scratch because I haven't heard them playing or singing or if they really got the talent or just the guts to do it.  So, I asked them how many are going to join the band and who's going to sing, play the drums, the guitar, the bass and the keyboards if ever?  And because they were all classmates and good friends so they have already decided on who's who and what instrument to play.  I started with the guitarist, which is Daboy and he doesn't know yet how to play the guitar as in proper guitar playing, all he knows is ...
