About Me


..
Welcome to the Goonslag page...
Goonslag are a weird combination of sheer idiocy. With members who are reasonably proficient at playing their instruments, but choose not to do it at times, we refuse to become a mere speck in what is a massive heavy music scene. The lyrics are written by cask wine itself, which possesses our very souls and unleashes the firey demons of lyrics aimed not to touch the soul, but to confuse it. The music is shaped by what we now term as slag metal. There is no bass, bass is for the weak. Goonslag have the inane tendency to be inconsistent, we will be different at every show, depending on how we're feeling. Solos are a must, if you don't have solos in your bands songs, you are shit and we hate you. If you think keyboards have no place in metal, you're probably right. Goonslag have been around since 2005, after an annoying line-up change with the loss of our old drummer, Goonslag got their shit together and once again hit the stage. Now writing more shit, expect more songs about nothing in particular. If you dont drink, fuck you. And no, lex is not a terribly huge fan of the genre otherwise known as hardcore.
Hails to all goon drinkers, all metal drunks, and especially harry - our biggest fan who set up a myspace just so he could praise us, what a guy.
Also big thanks to Whitman for our background!
Oi, you, buy our fucking album.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 28/07/2006
Band Members:

Influences: Old thrashy style punk, thrash metal, any band that syncs guitars with keys - Stratovarius, Children of Bodom, Dragonforce, Warmen to name a few. Influenced by stupid lyric punk, Frenzal Rhomb (of course), Dropkick Murphy's.
Chris Vino - Influened by SKA/Punk mostly, 7/10 split, Mad Caddies, Reel Big Fish, Aiden
Shibraz - Classical piano, Bodom (of course), any band that can play their instruments well
Fruity - Influenced by goon and whatever music results from drinking goon
Josh Dry White - Infuenced by Metal and Heavy Metal.
Upon listening to us you'll probably discover that none of these influences come close to what we actually sounds like (Rock on gang vocals!), so really didnt need to bother reading this section of a profile, thankyou.
Sounds Like: You know that sound that your car makes (assuming your car is made before 1990, because by being a fan of this band you shouldnt have e decent car car) after you haven't filled it up with fuel for like a week, and it has been running on sediment and fumes, right, then you open the fuel cap and it makes that huge hissing sound? Yeah, not that.
Type of Label: Major
