Well listen to this Trouble song,you'll see what i mean.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZVDO_BNKDc

They are a sort of doomy band,saw them a few times,awesome band.You should check them out.They are a mix of Sabbath,Priest and some 70's psychedelic rock.They are quite heavy for a doom band.

Aww thanks guy's means a lot.  Really does.  Just pursuing the love of Heavy Metal, nothing more, nothing less.  I'll never be rich but if I can get round the world and make a few albums and play to people and make them smile then it will all be worth while.

The tuning Soloist is standard E tuning.  I never learnt any other style of tunings, it would confuse me :) mind you I love George Thorogood and the Destroyers so I do wanna learn slide guitar some day and I guess that goes hand in hand with different tunings.  Thank you I am glad you like the mix.  I think the video turned out good as well.  You would not believe (or perhaps you would) how much effort went into that two day shoot.  Thankfully I was only there for one night.  Miming my own song over and over again is actually tiring lol.

MJMP, thanks man.  Trouble, they played here a few years ago and I didn't not get to see them.  My friend loves Trouble but I am not very familiar.  I gather they are good though yes?  The same friend he has a tattoo of them on his arm.  Many different styles in there, yes!  That is a BIG compliment to me.  I never want to be a direct copy of anyone, always want to be US!  But it's a nice thing to hear when someone knows a lot of styles go into the melting pot and come out different in our own unique style.  Well this is what I try.  Someone said I sounded like Manilla Road guitarist the other night and said I sounded EXACTLY like him.  However other people say like you a lot of different things shine through which is what I think too  :thumb-up:

I dunno who our singer reminds me off.  I know I can't understand him lol.  He reminds me of a mental John Connolly from Nuclear Assault in this particular song!  Perhaps he is more like the Trouble guy, I shall have to check him out  8)

Post by: rabidgerry on January 25, 2016, 01:48:04 PM
hahahahahahhahahahahhaa thanks for that man!!  This has made my day (apart from the amazing compliments above)

I am 33, the singer is 32, he will be 33 in April.  The drummer is 34, he was 34 last week!

It's because they are beardy bastards and I am just a moustachioed bastard!  :lol:  although I can't remember if the moustache is visible in the video.  It's a look not common over here so that's why I like it.  Everyone has a f**king beard in Ireland these days so I wanted to stand out  ;D

Aaa okay,they also look more METAL then you,you look to clean ,do something about it,like get a beard  :lol:
Title: Re: Rabid Bitch of the North - New Video Release
Post by: rabidgerry on January 25, 2016, 02:15:28 PM
ooooooooooohhh I'm offended now >:(    (joke)

beards are for homeless people  :lol:  Those guys look like ZZ Top Wannabees!  I have a bigger collection of music than both I do not need to prove my metal status compared to them!  Plus my jeans are the tightest  :lol: I bet you have a beard don't you?  Bloody beardy bastard!  :lol:  You'd fit in with all the trendies over here  :lol: you'll be on X factor pretty soon no doubt  :facepalm:

When did beards mean metal anyways?  Never saw any beards on Judas Priest, or Artillery for that matter  ;) or on Dave Mustaine!

Here we are as ZZ top only we're pretending to touch ladies bits with our fingers rather than their famous pose  see below

but this is only because he has found God!

Before he was a proper evil metal head!

I cannot believe he has a beard now.  Is this recent?  He now trendy!  Dave I always respected you until you turned to the f**king dark side!  Jeff Mantas would never have a beard!

It's all Zak Wylds fault  :facepalm: (not a fan)

Title: Re: Rabid Bitch of the North - New Video Release
Post by: rabidgerry on January 25, 2016, 03:29:58 PM
man he still looks cool!  I see faint eyebrows. All the years of Pyros have caught up with his eyebrows and hair,  it's nearly gone from the sparks!!  hahaha thanks man for compliments!  Appreciate it.

I love Venom.  I play at the same festival as Cronos' Venom in August!  Probably will not meet him.  But if I do I try get an autograph.

He sings like that most of the show yes.  Songs vary  I guess so some material has lower stuff using different ranges.  Some mid range stuff some lower (not too low.)  It's actually a Rickenbacker copy, called "Rockinbetter".  The rumour is these are made by Tokai, but I have heard this is not true.  They may be possible made in a factory where Tokai guitars are made though.  I have to be honest, it's a quality instrument.  Proper contruction.  I shielded it a while back.  I thought perhaps the pickups where shit but I have now discovered that the room we practice in just has awful noise coming through the mains (see in the rack forum the discussion about power conditioners).

We have a lot more material yes.  Only the B side of this single is of equal quality.  Everything else is raw live stuff or an early studio style recordings.  It's taken a long time to get the music sounding the way it does now.  Largely because of time and money, but I think I am getting there with production.

LOVED IT!!    :metal:
Definitely want to hear more of that.   :thumb-up:
  Thanks Kim appreciate that man  ;D


Hey RG, very cool my friend  :thumb-up: this may sell a few turntables as well. I like the final mix, sounded great  :metal:

Thank RN, it took a long time lol but it's a stepping stone right?  The next recordings are hopefully even better, certainly no worse  :whoohoo!:
Looking forward to using some different gear on the newer recordings.

Well all and any support is most welcome.  It's amazing the positive reaction we are getting from everyone.   Makes me so happy.

Fly me over to Austrailia man and I'll "have a drink on you (me)"  see what I did there lol

That would be cool man.  I'd like to visit sometime, may be visit some of the places in Mad Max or something.  I'm a big fan of the original 3 movies.  Not watched the new one.

It's great to see you have a project to enjoy with folks!!
But the moustache has to go.  :nono:

I'm really not into metal anymore...But I can appreciate when people put in the effort
and make something worthy. Sounds good!!!
You guys are on the right path! Keep it up!  :banana:

Hey Gerry,
Great song.  I also took the liberty of checking out some of your other youtube clips.  Very cool.  I like the Zappa look.  Anytime you guys want to tour Australia I will come and check you out.  Not sure about drinking with you, though.  Over the years, I have developed a healthy dose of trepidation about drinking with the Irish.
I think the most recent Mad Max was filmed in Namibia, because the usual Aussie location was too green on account of recent rain.  As it is again now.  The first three were filmed out near Broken Hill.  I have been there and I can tell you that it is a hell of a long way to go to see not much of anything.  However, if lots of nothing is your cup of tea, then that place has it in spades!
Looking forward to your next video.
Mike.

Hey Mike, I think we could hold our own with the drinking LoL.
RG, It is indeed a decent drive to broken hill (https://www.google.com.au/maps/dir/Canberra+ACT/Broken+Hill+NSW/@-33.3087046,140.768827,6z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x6b164d69b05c9021:0x500ea6ea7695660!2m2!1d149.1286843!2d-35.2819998!1m5!1m1!1s0x6aef3360de52c2cd:0x40609b490440170!2m2!1d141.4651361!2d-31.9558583!3e0).

Hey Gerry,
Great song.  I also took the liberty of checking out some of your other youtube clips.  Very cool.  I like the Zappa look. 

Oh shit don't check anymore shit out on youtube man!  It's full of us messing about and in earlier years, and bad live recordings.  There is one good show where we supported diamond head and played everything like +200bpm! 

this one is bareable

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxgsBInKOSI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxgsBInKOSI)

But hey in regards to the proper new video, thank you man, that's kind words you have there.  It's taken a long way to get to that point.  If I finished tomorrow I would feel proud of the things I've done with the band so far.  They might be small for some people but it all matters to me.

As for frank Zappa, yeah well that's an accident.  The other guys have beards so I grew my moustache :)  I also prefer that look if I'm honest, it's not hip and trendy and it makes me stand out.  I like the moustache look, lots of cool people had em/have em.

Mad max, boy am I huge fan, I think the first movie is actually my fav.  Yeah I'm sure some of those locations are actually lots and lots of nothingness but f*ck it, I would do the same for Martha's Vineyard and  the location where they shot Jaws.  Another of my fav movies.  It's just cool to go on a pilgrimage to places like that.  I've never done it before so gives me an excuse to visit.

If we ever get to AUstrailia of course I'll let you know.  I'm not sure if that will happen but hey, let's see how far I can go with the band eh?

Hey AWESOME.... the 3 pieces LP is on Google store.

See ! You're gonna play on Esp guitar soon like Kirk WhaWhammet :lol:

lol Tomy well who knows, but one thing at a time.  We're on amazon as well and a few other places, but I dunno shit about where to buy the songs other than bandcamp.

But unfortunately there is no money to be made.  We make more money from selling out tshirts and patches.

yes our song is just like the ACDC song..................................... :lol:

no of course not, I know what you mean really

I remember the first time I heard  "it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n roll"

awesome song!!!! Brings back amazing memories of putting it on before I went out to school!  The difference between you guys though and me is I heard it in like 1996!

Showing my age, I hurd it when it was first released. Back then I was playing High Voltage in a band, we got to see the famous clip of Long Way on the back of a truck in Melbourne, it featured on ABC TVs Count Down, which we all watched religiously on Sunday nights.

Post by: rnolan on March 08, 2016, 01:15:14 AM
I used to play that bit on the guitar LoL  It was the hay day for Australian rock, They ran a doco of the rise (and fall) of Alberts studios on the ABC recently, that place launched so many good bands. The producers there were Harry Vanda and George Young (Malcolm and Angus's brother), AC/DC would do a gig and then go straight to the studio to record. If you get a chance, watch it (http://www.abc.net.au/tv/programs/blood-thunder-the-sound-of-alberts/), you won't be disappointed. It seems you have to pay though (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrQbwmCcsFE)
Title: Re: Rabid Bitch of the North - New Video Release
Post by: rabidgerry on March 08, 2016, 01:30:31 AM
No way I thought George was their uncle?  Oh well there you go lol.  Yeah so he did some 80's stuff with them as well if I remember?  I think people complained about his production but nothing I have ever heard of ACDC's has ever made me think it was poor.

Gonna say something controversial.  Technically the Youngs are Scottish and so was Bon Scott  :thumb-up:  And it wasn't like they just moved to OZ when they were babies, Bon Scott was like 6 and Angus was 8 before they emigrated.

I wonder did they see themselves as Scotch Australian?  Like we have a Irish Americans or Welsh Italian.
Title: Re: Rabid Bitch of the North - New Video Release
Post by: rnolan on March 08, 2016, 01:47:11 AM
I think your right, George is their Uncle. I knew they were born in Scotland, but they were/are all quintessentially Australian. The early production was raw, they wanted it to sound the same as at a gig.  The big production change happened with Hells Bells where it got a bit more "polished".
Title: Re: Rabid Bitch of the North - New Video Release
Post by: rabidgerry on March 08, 2016, 01:57:35 AM
No man you were right it's their older brother.

Hmmmm I dunno, wherever you are born is you're true nationality, well it is if you spend more than 1-2 years there after your birth, in my opinion not trying to cause contreversey here just my view.  But of course no one thinks of the Youngs as Scotts even though another brother remained in Scotland to play in a london band.

Lange only did two albums with em though, "Flick of a Switch"  was them again I think and George was back for "Who Made Who" tracks
Title: Re: Rabid Bitch of the North - New Video Release
Post by: MarshallJMP on March 08, 2016, 10:30:18 AM
An other good Australian band was Rose Tattoo,i think the singer even played a role in one of the mad max movies.They had a bit of AC/DC in their music but different.

Great band the tatts, they also came out of the Alberts stable (as did a raft of great Aust rock bands). Unfortunately their slide player (great player BTW) died a few years ago  :facepalm: . Angry picks up a few acting roles here and there. We still do Bad Boy for Love in our sets.

Well having done the UK before I can safely say it was an adventure and something I will never forget, so really whether I am tired or not I know it will be great, and not many people get the same chances to do these kind of things so I will not let the moment slip by!

You never think you will even get to do a gig when you are a kid, then suddenly you do your first one!!  Then you never think you will play in another country then suddenly that happens also!  So who knows!!  Savour it all, keep the memories, and tell the stories!

You will be tired after Belgium.All that beer ,chocolate and some Vandamme kicks will drag you down  :lol:

I'm guessing as there is travel involved the next day the partying will be minimal (boooooooooooooooo!   :( )

Being in a band so far is not sex drugs and rock n roll hahhahaa

I'm looking forward to meeting JC Van Damme though, eating chocolate, sampling the beer (just a few  :thumb-up:) and a vodka or two since that's what my main tipple is  :o

Hi guys,

some blatant profile enhancement for the band here.

But would you guys mind voting for us in this poll?

If we do well it will help our profile immensely.  Some of you may have already voted, but if you have not please do vote, we would appreciate it a lot.

Done!

That was actually a bit hard to pick 10 bands from that list.....I had to kinda fake it a bit after 5.  lol

Rabid Bitch o' the North   :thumb-up:
Venom
Goatwhore
Paradise Lost
Twisted Sister

then I just picked 5 that I heard of:   ;)

Anthrax
Behemoth
Satyricon
Vektor
Unearth

Thank you so much Kim, it's most appreciated!  It will be a big talking point if we do well in that poll, and planned press interviews we have should bloom with the addition of good performance in it.

I had to fake some also.  Twisted Sisted and Venom made up my next two choices.

Initially I didn't want people to fake vote for the band but then I realised the other bands from Ireland will certainly do it so it wont be a fair fight if they get every man and his dog to vote and we don't do the same.  So I'm calling in the special ops to keep us above Two Tales of Woe, who are a local rival band playing the festival.

I go over to the festival next Thursday, access all areas, pass for the full 4 days.  We play on the final day which is the Sunday!  I really hope it wont be raining, festivals and rain over here equal MUD!

Post by: rabidgerry on August 07, 2016, 09:57:28 AM
Hey everyone thanks for the votes!  We are doing so well.  Above COC lol  I find that hilarious!

You know when they came over here a few months ago, our drummer got roped into being their driver for the day and taking them to the airport and things!

Our manager was the promoter for their show so naturally it was up to him to look after COC hence Chris our drummer getting dragged into that job  :lol:

Anyways, hopefully we get a lot more interest then thanks to the poll, really it means nothing, but in this game it can add a little talking point that will be nice to mention in forth coming interview that are planned whilst we are at the festival for 4 days.  Out of 120 bands it's very endearing indeed.  To be over some of those big names, well that's even more of boost for us.  Here's hoping we make that half hour we have count eh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Half an hour!

I hate festivals  :lol:

You got my vote. I based most of my other votes on the name. I thought "sodomized cadaver"  "footprints in the custard" and "foetal juice" all deserved a tick.  :dunno:

Last Saturday I went to see RBOTN and also met Gerry. We had a good time together and talked a lot about ,you guessed it,gear. They are on tour with 2 other great bands so I had a fun day.

Gerry is a really great guy ,I hope meet him again (in person that is).  :thumb-up:

Thanks MJMP

it was great to meet you.  Had a great time in Belgium and the Netherlands.  Enjoyed the show in Belgium a lot apart from the tech issues I had.  Really appreciate the kind words you had to say about the band and performance, meant a lot!

Next time hopefully I can hook up with you and rock out back at your place!

well actually gear was at a minimum.  I went with just a pre and power amp.  All my cables, my FX unit and one guitar.

The backline was provided for us at many venues or else the band we were touring with provided.  We did the same for them when they came over to Ireland (this week just past).

We did the final show on Sunday.  I'm now dying with a cold, but the final show was awesome!  Best crowd of the lot and we performed well.  Sorry it is all over.


Never mind RN  I'm sure we'll meet up at some point  :wave:

Title: Re: Rabid Bitch of the North - New Video Release
Post by: rabidgerry on November 02, 2016, 01:36:15 AM
Hey MJMP,

I think the best show was the one we had in Limerick Ireland on Sunday.  For three reasons.  The first, we played excellent and put on a good show!  Second, there was a big crowd and a big stage and great sound.  Third, the crowd chanted our name several times and also chanted for one more song after our set!  Incredible feeling to experience that.  After we were done it was like being a celebrity.  Had people coming up all night long wanting photos or just to tell us how they thought we were great.

However, the shows I played away from home were special and amazing also, but this was because they were part of an adventure in new lands and new venues with new people and the whole thing together makes that special.  I like being away from home, I really enjoy other countries and cultures now days.

Guy's

the place I played in Diest, and where I met MJMP, they had like about 10-15 washburn bass necks used as door handles and decoration about the venue!  Crazy!  I have no idea where they came by so many.  All seemingly from the same kind of bass.  Cool idea, made the place very hard rock cafe like.  Only with a big stage and great live venue set up.

last show of the tour!  The most successful show also!

some shameless self promotion here as well!  It's a little hyperactive this version....or fast as f*ck depending on how you want to look at it.

You know it's not meant to be a fast song, more medium but sometimes the adrenaline just takes over.

Hey Harley, that is good sound for a phone, particularly at that volume.  Apparently the whole show has been recorded but I aint heard the audio yet.  Sound man recorded it from the desk I think.  Nice guy, he did good job for me on stage , plenty of me in other words so I was very comfortable, and the sound of stage was also good.

MJMP we really played it even faster?  Boy oh boy!  No wonder I was sweating then  :facepalm:

B) I had a bandana on soaking up the sweat.

Believe me I was sweating!  I was still soaking with sweat so much that I had to go outside to cool off!  :headbanger:

It's actually one of the largest I've ever played on. Perhaps second largest possibly.  Never had so many monitors in all my time playing live.  And still I had problems hearing lol  Sound seemed to move about the stage randomly.  Not sure if that was because it was open air or not.
