Happy (Willy's coming back and i made some future related decisions)

William arrives at the 23rd to Macau! And I was looking around for colleges I think I found one that  my needs. It's Guildhall University, and has a great course on classical guitar, which is what i intend to study. I'm also considering Trinity, it's a great one. Got some friends over in UNI but thats not my style. It's mainly Jazz/ Funk.

Cheers,
The Fire

Update (Finally)

Yo Yo Yo! How are you doing good people?

I finally decided to update this blog. A month has gone by and (wow) so many things changed. For starters   -12 is no longer. I rejoined TLS and so there was no point in having  -12 by it being exactly the same band as TLS. So right now I'm in Absinthe and TLS. Giving more focus to Absinthe (well, the o lack of resources for TLS doesn't help). Getting focused and excited, since the "music season"is about to start. Absinthe is gonna play a set of 4 songs in the amazingly, self centered Lusofonia festival, which starts on the 23rd of October, Friday. Incidently, we'll be playing on the 23rd, at around 8:20 (but don't quote me on that one)
Anyways, if anyone's interested, here's the song set:

Mundo ao Contrário- Xutos e Pontapés
Leva-me Contigo- Duarte Rosado
Sweet Child O'Mine- Guns N'Roses ( with a guest appearance, Bad Willy will be playing the lead)
My Everything- Absinthe (yes, its an original composition)

So we're not quite sure about the "My Everything"song. We're gonna work on it tommorow, and if we don't get it polished by Thursday, we'll play "Turn it Off"by Paramore.

I never got the chance to say, but we did auditions for Absinthe and I can proudly say, Pedro Silva is our new Lead guitarist, and I can also say I'm proud with his work 'till now.

Anyways about TLS now,

We're gonna have a show on a popular restaurant called "Miramar", on the 30th of October. It should be around  I dunno, 8-9 PM, and finish late. I think it's gonna be open for public so when I make sure it is I'll make sure I notify you. Still don't have a stable setlist, but I can tell you we're atleast gonna play:

Sweet Child O'Mine- Guns N'Roses
She Builds Quick Machines- Velvet Revolver
All the Small things- Blink 182
21 Guns - Green Day

We're thinking about playing mostly classical rock, so you might as well see us play "Welcome to the Jungle"or "It's so easy". Mostly GnR's stuff


Oh almost forgot to mention!

Tommorow we're having an Absinthe photoshoot, so we're gonna record a few songs, maybe we'll post them on youtube and some cool edited photos. But I'll post them here.

and finally some personal news.

thanks to the most important person in the world, who bought me a ticket, I'm going with her to the amazing Green Day concert in Hong Kong, on the 16th of January! I'm thrilled! Green Day has always been my favourite band and Billie Joe Armstrong is one of my idols

Well with nothing to say at the moment, I'm gonna go sleep 'cuz It's gonna be a very crazy week


cheers,
The Fire

Stupid Today

Hi guys! I've not been updating this much 'cuz I've been lazy and It get's boring sometimes ( sorry Blogspot staff). Anyways me and Avlis were suppose to compose and play around with the guitar today but we ended up doing stupid meaningless stuff like joking around everything we'd see. You know. x) Two stupid teenagers with the whole world in their hands haha.

The Fire

Life Starts Now!

Yup that's right! Three Days Grace is releasing a new CD which will be out by the end of September! "Life Starts Now"is the CD's name. And the first Single "Break"will air on the radio by mid September. I can't hide my excitement on this here. Three Days Grace not only goes off with great lyrics but they have a great instrumental. Adam Gontier is one of my personal favourite singers, regarding modern Rock. Well I guess we'll be looking foward to the album!

The Fire

All Hail Stupidity!

Well I saw this and couldn't help to post it here.This might as well be the place me and William are gonna live when we grow up!!! Beware: The Fire and Bad Willy!

Away

I'm sick of living this life. I just wanna go away from the people I love so I don't hurt anyone more. I just hurt the most important person of my life. And I to endure her suffering. Like I have to every person I love. What the hell's wrong with me? Why do I end up hurting everyone that gets close to me? Why do things have to be this way? Why? Why can't I just hurt myself? I wish it was that easy...

The Fire

Still referring to the last post

I guess this  song that can perfectly describe my state of mind nowadays :)

 

Blog and Feelings

Well I don't even know If there's a place in Blogs for expressing feelings, but if there isn't then it's too late anyways :P I'm sorry i'm not constantly updating my blog in regard to my bands and stuff. You know sometimes you don't feel very well. Sometimes you feel depressed. Sometimes you feel like there's no way out. Sometimes you lack motivation. Sometimes you see life as a cliff. An unfair cliff. You build up everything to see it fall down and eventually die. It's sad but true. That's life itself. You're born, you grow and you die... And I do believe that people only find out who they really are when they get old. It takes a lifetime to know yourself. I guess I'm not feeling very well right now. Yes it's true. The pain's unbearable. The tears sometimes can't stop falling and sometimes i think happiness is an illusion. Sometimes I get so mad, because sometimes people don't get how you feel and sometimes they just keep on hurting you, because they think you're ok. I mean in the end it's not their fault. I'm glad they don't know how it is to be like this. But I'm actually quite proud of myself. Because I keep on fighting. But the problem is, I can't keep fighting forever...There will be this day I fall and there will be no one there to pick me up. I know It. It's a matter of time. No one can stop it. I Guess I'm ready for it. I'm starting to feel like happiness is just an illusion. Like colours, just an effect, while everything is really dark. I'm starting to lose hope. And I can't keep the pain in much longer...It's no use trying to explain...I guess you just won't get it by what I said :S

The Fire

Tonight.

Hey,

Just got home from the cinema, but I'm feeling down. This is for personal reasons. I guess I won't do anything relating any of our bands today :S. I guess I'm just gonna try to sleep it off ( like It'll happen. Haha I'll probably spend the whole night listening to Blink 182 'till I'm a bit Okay again x). Thing is never give up on life). Well 'till tommorow to all of you who are watching!

Peace and Love,
The Fire

Today, -12

Today I'm gonna be the whole afternoon out but if everything goes as planned, by like 10 Pm I'll have more stuff regarding -12. Maybe a website or an own blog. I'm still not sure. As you know, It'll probably not even have a custom domain name because that costs $ and I'm only fifteen. So I guess I'll see what I can find and post here.

Oh and some pretty cool stuff is going on. My Chemical Romance street team (MCRmy) just gave me a free registration code for MCR's official website. Im pretty spiced up about it :D. I'm gonna check it out when I come home, 'cuz I just woke up :$ and I'm going out so I should be here around like 8 Pm.

Well 'till then hope your life is going just peachy,

The Fire

-12

In addition to the other two bands I'm in, I decided to make another one. This one will be more closed in to the genre of Punk Rock.

Yes, it's something completely new.

The band consists of me, The Fire (Guitar), Avlis(Drums) and Fred (Bass)

Our main Influences are Blink 182 and Green Day

But the main highlight will be our alterning Vocalists

Yup, The Fire and Fred

And our first artwork

Well keep in touch for more news about -12

peace and love,

Heaven *demo*

yeah, you heard it. So i got bored and decided to play around with the guitar as usual and check it out :O

Well Considering I'm a 15 year old teenager, and that I recorded that all alone I'm very proud of myself. Sure it has many flaws but It has my first ever recorded mini guitar solo and I like that screaming sound. It's like it's screaming for more and I just can't get over that crunchy sound. Well I already look like a science nerd talking about science ;) (which I also am haha)

Actually talking about music reminded me. I never actually talked about the band whom i will work out the demo with.

It's called Absinthe.

It started out after the breakup of my original band and I admit it wasn't taken too seriously at the start but that started to change and voila as you can see we already have got that demo and a small intro song. The 'song's actually called "Love Lullaby", because i actually composed it for my girlfriend. I like to think of it as a prelude, maybe an opening for a future album...who knows?

It's of course a song in which you can clearly understand I have loads of classic musical influence. I got to thank my classical guitar teacher, Morgan, for making me absorve this fine genre of music into my playing. I do know that many people don't think about it, but without classical music we wouldn't have the Rock, Pop, Metal, Soul, Blues, you name it, that we love so much nowadays.

Hi to you!

Wow my own blog. pretty interesting. Well yeah I've decided to start this blog mainly because I'm almost always bored and I think It should be an interesting experience sharing my world and my view on it with other people. What You need to know about me?

I'm 15, I won't shut up about musical stuff because I'm a musician and I love to play the guitar. I'm also very clumsy and I'll be posting not daily. God who Knows maybe daily. haha. Well I'll try to.

You'll probably get bored of this blog if you even check it.

Well 'till then, Gracias amigos

P.S: In case you're wondering I'm not called The Fire. Thats my "musical"nickname

Peace and Love
