LORD seeks temporary guitarist

Submitted by ByronJC on Fri, 15/01/2010 - 4:08am

Tim from LORD has made an announcement that he will be taking some time out from playing the guitar due to some personal complications confirmed by a doctor, however in doing so It's confirmed he will continue to tour with the band as its front man singer.

"So... it's no secret at all that I've got some big issues with my hands that have been ongoing for quite a few years. LORD's momentum (and Dungeon's before it) prevented me from taking any breaks when things started to hurt, so in the true tradition of this band, when things got tough, I gritted my teeth and just got on with the job.

That brings me to the point of this post: We're after a guitarist to fill in temporarily for me while I rest my hands, and I take the mic as a singer only. Not sure how long it'll be for, but the doctor suggested at least six months to a year to get them back on track. I'd like to think it won't take anywhere near that long, but I need to do what I need to do at the end of the day."

They are currently seeking a temporary guitarist to fill Tim's spot on guitars while he takes the necessary time to recover, have a read of what the following requirements are:

  • Knows or can learn a LORD set quickly (which consists of LORD and Dungeon material, plus some cover songs)
  • Is a very competent lead guitarist that can not only shred well, but can play in a tasteful manner, and is also a tight rhythm player
  • Is able to rehearse in Wollongong once a week
  • Is able to take time off work/study to do shows both local and nationally
  • Is 18+ with no issues (drugs/alcoholic/moron/ego/anger problems/etc.)
  • Is doing it for the love and not the money, 'cos basically there ain't any!
If you meet all of the above according to Tim: "LORD will pay for your flights, hotels, etc. when we tour - just get yourself to the airport or venue and pay for your own food and the band will look after the rest. We'll have equipment for you to use on tour (to keep the sounds consistent with our regular sound), all you need is your guitar and your talent.

You guys know the deal about who we are and what we do, and what you'd have to be able to do in order to do my parts, so if you aren't up to the task, please don't get in touch because we only have a very limited amount of time each day to try people out to see if you're suitable. And knowing what kind of exposure you'd get, it could be a good way of promoting your own band or projects because we'd go out of our way to make sure people are aware of who you are if you get the job.

Interested applicants, either PM me here at Ultimate Metal, or send me a message on my Facebook or MySpace page or whatever and let me know a bit about yourself. And please feel free to pass this around to anyone you think might be keen and up for the job."
