The WT Boys

Now, we all know that WT isn't just about Sharon, so this is a topic to talk about the Within Temptation boys, their involvement in WT, and also any side-projects they may have as well.

Most Embarrassing Gig: Blokhut in Rotterdam, when the keyboards were detuned by three notes due to a voltage drop. It led to a "surprising" effect when the band started playing together and they were forced to start again.

I'm with Kayleigh here, i don't think so either

he is like woah! he looked straight at me when i saw erm at the birmingham live in november i was like OMG!

Yeah. He tends to look straight into cameras a lot too

the thing is i didn't have my camera on at that moment so i coulda get a really good picture damn!

Aw. Sad day.

Haha. I just listened to Ice Queen live at Java Island

...And remembered how bad a singer Robert is xD

But! We love him anyway.

OMG, Ruud had a FAWK demo on his myspace! Did anyone rip it??

a part of a very rough demo song from "For All We Know"

Hey there,

I decided to upload a part of a song from my solo project "For All We Know". I can't stress enough that it's a very very rough demo. No mix, no vocals, out of tune guitarsolo, bad edits etc etc...
But I promised months ago to upload a song so here is a small part of one of the tracks. The working title is 'A Boy Named Balance'.

It's going really well with the songs. I'm gonna start writing some lyrics very soon. A couple of weeks ago I recorded two songs I wrote together with Martijn (WT) with this singer called Wudstik (he sang on the latest Ayreon album and he's working on a solo album himself as well). I really loved his voice and he's a really great guy to work with. He wants to try to see if his voice fits on my music. THat's gonna be cool...

I'm gonna delete this 'song' tomorrow again because it's not really representative for the music right now. (It obviously lacks the quality I go for)

But now all the people who've been asking me about FAWK get a peek in my kitchen even it's only for a while...

Thanks for the support. It's really appreciated!!!!!!

Ooh! I hope so *goes and looks for it on teh webz*

Post if you find it and I'll fill up your bless bar

oooo awsome It's been a while since i've been on his myspace.

I've looked everywhere. Looks like if anybody ripped it, they didn't post it, unfortunately.

Damn lol

xD I know!

then we shall have to wait :S

ooo nice pictures

Damnit. I posted those in the wrong thread. xD I need sleep so bad.

lol it's ok and the pictures of the boys are in the WT boys thread so it doesn't make much difference does it?
