More than half a year after the acquisition of the Beast (ok, I ate a lot of the coconut to name the guitar) I decided it was time to try out for a little group. Before the summer of 2006 put an ad in Atiza.com and they told me some kids who had a group of Thrash Metal. Was that the singer was also the rhythm guitar and wanted to concentrate only on singing, and looking for a member. I did a test by playing a few songs by Metallica ( Blitzkrieg , Sad But True and For Whom the Bell Tolls i think) but they called me (do not blame them, I did as the eyelet). Anyway I did not care much for rehearsing at Ritmo y Compas and had the room rented by month which was a very expensive undertaking for my economy.
summer after the announcement said a boy named Paul who told me that had belonged to a group but in the end decided to leave because they were becoming very sugarcane, running almost to Death Metal and that was cool it. He, like me, she was pure heavy metal. I and all excited I started to draw a logo for the group, to which I call Metal Rider. Here you can see (based on the Harley Davidson logo with Judas Priest aesthetics total):
Paul had seemed good because it molaban motorcycles. I said maybe I could get a battery and when did we were to play at the Rock Palace. The battery in question was a kid named Alvaro. We play Enter Sandman , Smells Like Teen Spirit , For Whom the Bell Tolls and All I Want, The Offspring, and we were very happy. 
After that stayed several times at the Blue Cat room and were the best essays. Alvaro asked us to put in the code something he liked him, he was the Nu Metal, and was elected Silhouette of Thrice. Also got Master of Puppets , Nothing Else Matters and Fear of the Dark . And then we gave for wanting a bass player. This was the beginning of the end. We tested
a guy named Carlos, who happened had tried last week with the group of my fellow Master (is called pyrexia), who was also looking bearish, but ultimately did not stay with them. And since the supply of bears is almost nil, in the absence of other applicants we stayed with him. It also demanded a song Still Loving You , the Scorpions. At that time the thing was not bad, we also introduce Sweet Child O'Mine and American Idiot, Green Day, to the repertoire.
And it was time to find a singer. All a guy had in mind for everything we play the guys sing, but there was a girl, Alba. We sent an mp3 in which she was heard singing something all genres, even a rocker, Garota de Ipanema . We thought that came to mind but wanted to test if by chance he was good.
So we tested, and in my opinion was pretty disastrous. The songs seemed that only knew by hearsay because they lost ALL (besides the fact that none of their voice was appropriate to sing heavy). According to Álvaro passed the test, Paul and I looked at each telling all without speaking. And when we finished I was convinced we were going to tell you the typical "I'll call you" when Carlos jumped molado saying that he had an egg how to sing. I do not think that was what had molado, but good. And not to screw it on the spot the other 3 we are silent. We, like when Mr. Burns Homer enters your bowling team, if I was wrong would be easy to throw. And also, like Homer, we were wrong. In each trial, Carlos was happier and more dissatisfied because the other girl was still missing as the first day and her voice does not hit at all with the songs.
In our last test was in the Rock Palace (how ironic, the thing ended where it started) with the formation complete recorded this video:
As you can see him out a lot of cocks and bass sounds pretty tune. And it came to me my bad on the video alone, but usually did better.
A few days later informed me that Paul Alvaro left the group because I had pasta. He said his parents were tired of spending so much on music (it was another group too) and their test scores in the unit had been bad. But I think they wanted to leave because ever since Carlos and Alba entered the roll had changed. I also learned that left no the other group because my colleague, the Master knew another member.
Shortly after we went to the house of Carlos in Guadarrama, tested. It was building a soundproof room in the basement and had a battery, so he would take care of percussion. The thing went from bad to worse because he could barely touch it. I was going to school to learn to play everything (including singing) and in my opinion, who of all trades. And on top of Alba was made to point to an issue that had medium composed between Paul and me: he read it and told me that was disgusting, and I would not read it. But also allowed the luxury of giving away a copy of a CD he had made her songs from the groups of Deep Purple, total seventies, as saying: "This is what I want us to play." He wore clear.
We reached a point where every time Carlos and Alba proposed for testing dates, Paul and I put excuses not to be. The disappointment was great in us.
decided between them to try to revive the group, and the first step was clear: they had to throw Alba. Communicate it to Carlos and did not take it well, said he thought we were all happy with it.
A few days later Paul told me that Charles told him he could not test the weekends (it was when we practiced forever). So Alba told him the group was dissolved. Then came the summer of 2007 and each owl to olive, this was the fleeting existence of Metal Rider. After the summer
Paul contacted me for us to return to try something, but lack of time I told him that at that time was good for me.
During the existence of the group took a daily mini reproduce here:
-25 September: Paul I answered an ad to hang in Atiza.com
-26 September: I can think of the name of Metal Rider Paul drew the logo and approves it.
-27 September: We are Paul, John (ex-group member Paul) and I at John to know. -4
October: Álvaro know. Let the 3 to play at Rock Palace.
-18 October: We are playing at the Blue Cat
-29 October: We are playing at the Blue Cat
-5 November: We are playing at the Blue Cat
-12 November: We are playing the Blue Cat

-26 November: Let's play the Workshop 57 without Paul. -3

-17 December: We are playing at the Blue Cat Alba (rather disappointing).
-23 December: We are playing at the Blue Cat but Alvaro Alba (following the disappointment).
-30 December: Test in the Blue Cat without Javi (and Alba is the same). -11 February
Latest test of the complete training in the Rock Palace. The thing with Alba seems to start a little better. We shot a video.
-25 February: A type of test house Carlos. The improvement of Alba was a mirage. Last test group. Álvaro

"I decided that Alvaro will take to Alba.
"I say to Carlos, but not pronounced.
-10 March: Carlos tells us that we can not rehearse on the weekends. Shortly afterwards
-Paul tells me that Carlos has said he goes to live outside Madrid.
Here leave the photos we took of the trials (this time not because they cover my faces as they gave permission to hang video Youtube, I guess by extension also the pictures).
