Explicit lyrics so don't listen at work.

Any comments good or bad are welcome and appreciated.

Thanks,
Greg

[Decipha]

Okay thanks for the listen. I struggled with the vocal EQ and level on this one. Maybe I went too conservative.

[Mezcalion]

I'm too drunk to post.

But yep,bring the vocals out some more.Nice fx at the end.

all in all ya got some cool shit goin on.

[true-eurt]

I'm never too drunk to....errrr....uh...post! ...

I had never heard this song before.

The first thought that hit me when the song starts, is that the opening guitar rings of Golden Earring's "Bullet Hits The Bone" rhythm guitar....on speed .... and keeps that same driving rhythm going all the way through. That is a plus to my ears.

Nice job on the vocals Greg....that is you? They seem to be okay in volume to me. It may be that because of the right panning that the vocals seem a tad buried. Bring em more center and if they are already centered, perhaps a tweak to the left...I don't know...maybe my hearing is off today.

I don't know if it is just me or not...but it seems a bit heavy right-panned.

That awesome rhythm guitar would sound great split left to right.

The drumming is great. Now you'll tell me it's EZ drummer or something!!!

A fuking potato and put it in your purse~!!! Bawaahahahahaaa and the puking at the end....oh wow....I almost pee'd myself !!!!

It's all fine if you go limp Us guys have to try and push the rope.... and it gets down right uncooperative at times I've always been able to slap the little basterd around and verbaly assault him on his poor posture until I get my point across!
Luckily I don't have an issue with that anymore


Sounds cool Greg! I know how you are about making mixes as close as you can to the original and I don't know how that was. I will say just as a general observation, on occasion the vocals sound a bit muffled, like a pretty low frequencie is masking them a bit. That's the only thing I caught. The rest sounds pretty punkish to me


F.S.

[Greg_L]

Thanks Mezcalion, true, and FS.

I brought the vocals up and EQ'd a bit to cut through a little better. New version in the original link up top.

I don't know why I'm having so much trouble with this one. It's so simple.

True - That is me "singing", and those are real drums really played by me.
And that last line is:

You give me head
It makes it worse
Take out your fucking retainer, put it in your purse.

[Freudian Slip]

Definetly better sounding. Very cool. Not my style but hey. Only punk album I own is The Damnd, Machinegun Etiquette. The title track is pretty cool.

Does sound like potato a bit, but I'm cool with that! Reminds me of a story I heard on Mark & Brian.

Great job!

You are welkom Greg.

Oh crap!! This reminds me of one of those commercials where people are singing the wrong words to classic rock songs. The ears are the last to know.

Good job on the singing Greg and the drums are excellent.

So, you don't think it is panned to the right a bit much?

[zed32]

you fucker! everything sounds killer. the guitar tone cuts through, the bass is right there, drums are bangin, you da man!

[Greg_L]

F.S. - thanks for re-listening. I appreciate the feedback.

True - I'm not hearing it lopsided. It looks pretty equal through the spectrum analyzer. I don't know what else to do. Thanks for the listen and feedback though.

zed - Thanks bro.

Well, since I was hearing 'potato in your purse'...I think my hearing is definitely off today!!

You are welkom.

[chrisharris]

heh... I was talking about this song with a buddy of mine 2 weeks ago for some reason.

Brilliant, as usual.

[johnnymegabyte]

nice riff --- definitely got a winner here.
I think, rather than the flush, it should have been the sound of the body hitting the floor from passing out. Now that would be Too Drunk To Flush

[Greg_L]

Lol. Thanks Chris and johnnymegabyte.

[Flamin Lip]

Dude..... you took me waaaay back on that one! Sounds killer to me!!!!!!!!!

Thanks man. Old school rocks.

[rayc]

Enjoyed as ALWAYS.

[Rokket]

Still my hero....

'nuff said.

[Greg_L]

Thanks a lot Rayc and rokket.

[zen_arcade]

Agree with everyone else's suggestion to bring the vocals out a bit but damn the guitars sound just like East Bay Ray. Way to go!

*reminds himself to buy an echoplex*

[RAMI]

I'm mostly impressed with the drum sound you have on this. It sounds so organic, but slick at the same time. That's one of the best drums recordings I've heard on a home-recording in a long time. Everything else sounds great to me, too, but I really love that drum sound.
