If music is a mirror revealing the depths of my heart
Then I will write The darkest song
For without forgiveness my soul is lost
All that is hope within destruction comes from you
For I have fallen and there is nothing good within me yet I’ve
Been given life I will never Deserve
For without forgiveness my soul is lost

Dear John Barlow,

I am thanking you for being there for me and making a crappy day funny. Remember that day we went down to midway and Torry Rhoads jumped off midway lol. Now that was freaking awesome, really when we hang out it’s not a dull moment. Even when there’s nothing to do we find something.

I really hope you get better man. Don’t make me shove some nuggets down your throat lol. Not really I wouldn’t do that. But really man we worry about you. When I say we I mean, me, Tasha, your mom, your dad, ally, and all your friends.

Since I know you love guitar hero so I have the perfect Idea for a birthday gift. Lol well it has to do with one of my favorite guitars lol. Also speaking of guitars dean made an acoustic flying v. It’s the same as a Gibson electric flying v but it’s acoustic. I want to get it. I could get a new one for $200.

Well I want to thank you for being such a great friend and having so much fun. I really hope fell better. O yeah and I wrote this amazing solo. I mean it is so f**king sick. Lol.

Love ya man,

Dillon Nieslen

P.s.  Ally wants to throw a party for you when you get out…

And I asked out Tasha lol.

Skolding

One day over the summer I was over my friend Neal’s house, and this kid John came over. I was playing guitar and he thought I was good so he asked me if I wanted to join his band. So I said yes. Then the next weekend I took my guitar and stuff to his house and we jammed. The problem was the drummer quit and so did our basest. So me and john worked hard and went through a lot of people to get this band together. We have been putting together songs and practicing a lot. We have a gig July 1^st at Angola Marina.

I am the lead guitarist and back up vocals. John Barlow is our lead vocalist; he helps me write guitar parts. Our drummer Mike Ash is really good and is the reason we got the gig. Now this guy Jarret plays base but he might not because he’s getting a job but he’s still going to play at the gig. Skolding is currently looking for a rhythm guitarist.

            Our first song is called “Incubator.” Now we are working on this song called “Shadows.” This song has so many solos and insane guitar parts. We are only finished the intro and the chorus, but it has insane part that had for me to play. I play a lot of one handed things or 2 handed tapping in that song.

            I have many influences such as, Slipknot, Buckethead, The Devil Wears Prada, Korn, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, As I lay Dying, Coheed and Cambria, Marilyn, Manson, Metallica, System of a down, Black Sabbath, The Grateful Dead, Van Halen, not Van Hagar, and a lot more. Basically rock and metal

            The guitar I have is a B.C. Rich Warlock with Ernie Ball strings. I have standard B.C. Rich humbuckers. But I am going to get Seymour Duncan blackouts.

When Pigs fly

My dad said he would give me 100 dollars

When pigs fly…

So I threw a pig off the ruff

It landed and died

Will eating bacon in morning

Dad said you made a pig go high

In the sky just like it could fly

So I guess I owe you

When pigs fly…
