I have a guitar.

I hook it up to a really big amp.

My friends do the same.


One of them bashes small, circular things with big golden things.

End result rocks.
Well seriously, three mates and I have made a band (our name isn't Bleeding Through Midnight, it just sounds cool for a site). All of our information, including inspirations, news and features can be found on the website in my signature. Please, take some time out to have a look.[/endorsment]
We use tabs to copy our favorite songs, but mainly we just make things out. I write songs for us and James makes some killer riffs. I have been playing guitar since around April.
If you play anything or have any talent to share, show us!

Hey man, I noticed on your site that you use a DigiTech Death Metal pedal, and since I've been looking for a less expensive alternative to the Boss M2 Metalzone, I was wondering if that pedal is any good? I've seen them for about 100 bucks, which aint bad.

Thats my mates, and frankly, it kinda sucks. No matter what setting in our use it sounds too distant, and we have used it on three amps and even a bass amp. We don't really use it anymore...

Cheers man, I guess I'll steer clear then ;) My amp is a Marshall MG15CDR, which is pretty similar to the one you posted a pic of, so I spose it'd sound reasonably similar on both.

Hey James give us a yell on here when you get some audio or video uploaded on to your site. I'm eager to have a listen. :thumbsup:

Ink isn't on MSN so i'm here saying we have a video on our website! Link is in my sig, just go to downloads. Mate said he had trouble with audio but I didn't. :P I also suggest you people ("hear that Marcus? He said you people! - Bad Santa) read what I wrote about it at the Home section. :)

Bleeding Through Midnight is a better name then New Inventions. Cos the former actually has originality, unlike the latter.

I think the metalcore band Bleeding Through might object to the name though ;)
In other news, my guitar lead died today. Major bummer :(

Bleeding Through Midnight is just the name of the website. Band name is "Jet Black Existance". :)
EDIT: I saw some guitar leads in a music shop today, damn nice Fender ones that werent rubber, some kind of thick wool, but they were $24.95...

So the bands name is Jet Black Existance, but the websites name is Bleeding Through Midnight, and just for simplicity's sake, your extension on the websites address is new inventions?
Ohhhh, I get it.
