I'm having no look at the moment. 2 Weeks now I've been trying to put a goodish song together, but I've had no luck. Perhaps it's because I have a cast on my arm... I don't know. I always feel that when I think up a riff that it's really basic and not good enough.
Do you guys have similiar problems? How long does it usually take you to write a complete song?
How do you write your Thrash? Do you pick a scale and see where it goes from there or do you just play around and see what you come up with?

i have the same problem. whenever i write a good riff i think it's not good enough and ditch the whole song together. it takes me 2 months to get a good song together on my own, with my band about a week. |

The last one I finished took me between a week and ten days, but that's a ten minute epic. It all depends on your motivation, really. Most of the songs have come from riffs I accidentally made and though "fuck, that's br00tal!" And it went from there. Still not brilliant at writing with my band - too many egos clashing. |

Well, the last one I finished yesterday  . So that took me only about 4-5h I think. It's really easy with guitar pro. I just came up with 1 nice riff and the rest are pretty much based on that riff. It only has about 6 riffs altogheter and it's probably a little under 4 min long, but I still think it's fuckin' awesome.
Sometimes I get stuck though, or I just don't have the motivation to finish the song and I just put the riff I came up with to my "storage", so that I won't forget it. But sometimes I make a song without getting up from this chair  |

Been working on an album for about a month now, have 3 songs (one is an intro) finished and am working on the 4th. So far the play list (up to and including track 3) runs about 11 minutes |

Usually it's a couple of days to write/record a song, then maybe another couple days to play around and add finishing touches. It all depends how inspired you are though; I sometimes get on a binge and write a whole song in like an hour. |

Actually, to tell you the truth, I have the excact opposite
problem. I write too much and I'm gonna start a strike. I won't write
music for a month, because I don't even have a band to play my songs
with.

That's true, sometimes I can write a whole song, shred until Gary Holt's brain implodes and play riffs that put Matt Drake through a 19th century hand wound mincer. But other times, I sound like Kerry King. : |

I'm a total perfectionist so it can take me anything from two hours to two years. I still have unused riffs from when i first started playing! |

I have a notebook and about two dozen low quality MP3s full of riffs They're great when you run out of steam and can't think of anything that fits; some stuff you wrote ages ago sometimes goes perfectly. |

Yeah, exactly - I've decided to use some riffs I used for my last (and absolutely wank) band. Great stuff. |

I have a small square notebook - with a picture of Tony Montana on the cover, yeah motherfucker - which I have filled with old tabs drawn out in Biro, and utterly terrible lyrics, all about the pain and sadness which I didn't feel, but though it was cool to pretend like I did. |

A couple of hours on guitar pro, depending on how complex the song is and if I feel inspirated. One day to record and tweak. |
