...being a brand-new member of the forum and indeed the BKP Army I though I'd introduce myself.
My name is Mark and I play lead guitar in a heavy (musically and physically!) band called Full Blown Chaos from New York City. I very recently became an official BKP player (so recently, I haven't received my first set yet but please Tim, take all the time you need!) and am quite proud to be able to say so.
It looks as though the people here on the BKP forum are very cool customers and I'm very excited about the prospect of spending endless hours in front of the computer talking shop with you lot! For the past few nights I've greatly enjoyed observing the seemingly endless flow of knowledge, ability, and camaraderie here on the forum.
If you're interested in hearing my band, there is a fairly good amount of songs available for inspection on our MySpace page. The address is http://www.myspace.com/fullblownchaos and by all means feel free to add us as friends! Unfortunately none of the music on our page or records has been created with the help of Bare Knuckle Pickups but I promise you that will change on our next record which we will be recording early on next year.
Any case, I just wanted to say hello! Thank you to Tim and all of you BKP Users out there for having me... now what's all this I hear about someone putting the kettle on? We drink tea here too, you know. I take mine with raw sugar, a splash of proper vanilla, and a drop or twelve of milk for texture. :D

This seems as good a place as any I'd say.
Nice to meet you (metaphorically, of course).
On those clips I thought that the singer was mixed ridiculously low in the song until I remembered I have dodgy headphones and so when I squeezed the stress relief bit on the jack I got stereo and it suddenly sounded much better.
I'm sure the other members will be here to talk to you in a short while.

Welcome to the forum, I take my tea with pure cane sugar (Tate and Lyle) 5 grams. Semi skimmed cow’s milk 200 micro litres, and pure tap water to taste. PG Tips for preference :headphones5:

Cheers and thanks! I have but a few questions:
-How many teaspoons is 5 grams?
-Who are Tate and Lyle?
-What's 200 micro litERs in Gallons?
Also I should mention that in New York, pure tap water is a truly rare thing and if we're going by taste, I'll take none. Thankfully, I actually live on the beautiful North Shore of Long Island and our water is made from pressed angels.
:lol:
Thanks for the warm welcome!

Hi and welcome! Well those clips certainly woke me up this morning (was feeling groggy-late night), what pups have you ordered?

Hi and thanks! I'm glad that we could help get your day started :lol:
I believe Tim said he was winding me up a set of Nailbombs (as they are the only Bare Knuckle's I've played so far and are in fact the reason why I've started selling off 15 years worth of DiMarzio pickups and why I contacted BKP in the first place) and an Irish Tour single for my main stage guitar which is an H-S-H Ibanez RG. Neck through body, maple neck, mahogany wings, locking trem, etc.

Welcome to the forums - Great tracks!

Hi Mark. Welcome to the forum. Liked your band & riffage (unfortunately those vocals are not my cup of tea). Talking of tea - can't stand the stuff. Coffee, white with one sugar, please. I'm not too fussy, however it comes really.

Hi Mark,
You'll find the people here are friendly, helpful, and easy-going. It's a great place to get info and advice about pretty much all things guitar (with the speciality being Bare Knuckles of course. :) )
Liked the band music- great stuff. Although I must admit, at first glance I thought it was 'Full Brown Chaos', which was a little unsettling. :lol: :wink:
Make sure you give us an update about how you get on with the BKs!

Welcome, Mark - keep that up and you'll fit in here just fine!

Hi Mark, welcome to the forum!
I can't listen to your work yet as I'm at work. :evil:
I hope you enjoy the Nailbomb, I have a set in my LP and love them, word of caution (you may have seen this on anohter thread) BK's take a bit of dialling in, i had to play with my 'bombs for a while before I got them set how I like them, but once I got them dialled in... heaven.
I take my tea strong, 2 sugars, dash of milk.
I've been playing (badly) for about a year so don't listen to anythng I say. I'm married to prozacbear and it's her fault I'm addicted to playing.

Welcome.
Next time you will be in the city, please drop me a PM. I bet we know some of the same people/bands from the island, as well.

-5 grams is about one teaspoon
-Tate and Lyle are a company that make the normal granulated cane sugar that you buy in supermarkets in the UK (Mr Tate has some art galleries named after him in London, (not that that has anything to do with it))
-200 micro litres is 0.000 052 834 410 472 gallons (US liquid)
Now I need a lie down :oops:
I will look at your clips when I get home from work
-
Hey man, welcome! You're the guitarist for Full Blown Chaos? You didn't happen to open for Sepultura in 2003 did you? I believe the name of the band was Full Blown Chaos. The lead singer was a big guy, kind of reminded me of Crowbar watching him up there!! :twisted:
Nontheless, if that was you then you guys rocked out. If not, sorry for the confusion. Welcome to the forum.

Does he keep calling them ugly and kicking them in the balls?
Tea, milk, no sugar.

Semi skimmed cow’s milk 200 micro litres
Whats the difference between millilitres and micro litres :?

A millilitre is a thousandth of a litre, a microlitre's a millionth.

Yeah, that was us though that tour was before I joined the band. My singer Ray is most certainly a big guy, and not only gets the Kirk Windstein comparison all the time, he welcomes and is flattered by it! Thank you for the kind words, and I don't mean to sound braggy but if you liked us then you will love us now!
-

I honestly couldn't say, though I wouldn't doubt that that's what it takes to motivate seemingly harmless wire and magnets into screaming and spitting fire as Nailbombs do!
I know that if Tim were to kick me in the balls, I'd scream.

Hey Marky PDT_015
Welcome to the forum. What kind of beer is this 'tea' stuff you speak of?

Welcome to the forum. What kind of beer is this 'tea' stuff you speak of?
Thanks!
To the very limits of my understanding, "tea" is "beer" stripped of it's fun and ability to raise the volume of one's voice using a process similar to decaffeination. I'm not too keen on the actual tech stuff, but as near as I can tell tea is what beer-enthusiasts sip when they're old to have breakfast pints.
EDIT: BTW, I just recently discovered that one can, in fact, grow too old for a breakfast pint. Thankfully brunch, lunch, and dinner pints are off-limits or I'd be worrying right now.

Welcome.
Next time you will be in the city, please drop me a PM. I bet we know some of the same people/bands from the island, as well.
Thank you!
I'm in the city on an almost daily basis, mostly Brooklyn and Queens. I'm sure we do know some of the same people, in fact I've known of your band for quite some time. I used to work at Sam Ash in Carle Place and there was a kid that used to always come in that I guess used to play guitar for Twilight Odyssey. Long-haired kid with glasses he was, though I can't remember his name.

Too old for a breakfast pint? Ah sweet, sweet Blasphemy :D

Ah sh!t...
Here is another opportunity for Ben to go on about how great they are in NYC for organising ritual booze ups :P
your humour is looking like it will fit in well here :)

Welcome from me too-good to have you aboard.

Well, I live in BK and work in the city, so let's try to get together. We can talk metal and gear!!
(Sorry, Will, but you know where this is going ... USA! USA!)
You're thinking of Kuzin Dan, who now has his own band, Catrofate. Dan's a good egg, we still talk even tho he's not in TO any more.
-
I sent a friend request to your myspace, btw ...
-
do you all see how easy another NYC beer-up was organised?
do you all see that? mmm mmm??
USA USA USA!!
-
Listened to your clips last night I think it shook a filling out :twisted:
It took this long to post as I wanted to make sure it was done in work time PDT_019
-
I have known about your band for quite some time, not really a fan of hardcore, but the stuff one the myspace page is pretty good. I will say this, your tone will improve substantially once you stick those Nailbombs in there. I am studying in New York currently, unfortunate you are not stopping by the Yonkers show this weekend! My good friends are playing the venue; they are in the band Terminally Your Aborted Ghost, dunno if you have heard of them? Anyways, maybe i will see you at a concert sometime, who knows. I am from Boston, and our tap water is made from pressed devils :twisted:

Well you could always make your tea "Irish" now, couldn't you? :wink:

How do you make Irish tea? Boil off it's brain and cut the sleeves off it's shirt? :lol:
Just jokes!

Thanks, and I agree about the tone improvement. Everything we've ever recorded (including the stuff that I've played on, much to my chagrin) has had EMG pickups on it. I'm definitely going to be trying to convince Mike (rhythm guitar) to try a set of BKP's (possibly Miracle Man or Warpig) but he's very set in his ways.
Where in NY are you studying/schooling it up?
I most definitely have heard of and heard TYAG, they are wild animals.
You're absolutely welcome to come hang at any of our shows (and this goes for all BKP Forum members as well) as long as you let me know in advance I'll guest-list you. The unfortunate truth is that I don't make it many shows other than my own; it's a time thing, mostly.
Boston tap water DEFINITELY tastes better than the tap water at Yankee Stadium, which is made from pressed red socks. :wink:

In Bronxville but i have easy access to the city.

i think you have just explained the reason why your water tastes so bad :lol:
I mean, i know there were a couple of Yankees that got stuck in the big Water Purification Plant in Boston some years back. They keep getting stuck in there for some reason and the local authorities can't figure it out.
What, you think that the Boston Tea Party was all we did? :twisted:

Just to clear up the whole Tea Vs. Beer issue, everyone should be happy with some of this (http://www.hogsback.co.uk/ourbeers.htm).
