I'm afraid I agree there :) However it sounds great and I can tell that you certainly know what you are doing

Remainds me a lot of the background music of Tony Hawk's skate game. I guess that is good? ;)

Lol. I guess so. Thanks for listening. :D
 
Okay thanks for the tip and the feedback. I appreciate it. :)

Actually, as corny as it may seem, I feel like a musical burden has been lifted off of me. I love doing covers, but it was nice to record a song and not have to think about if it sounds like the original version. ;)

Good tune Greg, as always you have super playing and recording to go with it. I feel the same way - originals have no comparison so they stand on their own merit. You have definitely earned your merit badge ;):D

Thanks a lot Ido. :)
 
Love the cowbell!!!

Your drums sound great, man. Those cymbals you have sound better than mine, you prick.

Great tune, great recording. Awesome party tune.




Make more!!!!!!
 
Good stuff. you like good bands. I really dug the Thin Lizzy cover.

Thanks a lot dude. You mean my junky B8's that everyone hates? :p

This was my first tune with the new drums, but I'm pretty pleased with how they recorded. I think they'll get better and better as I get more used to them and how I tune/mic them.

Thanks again. :)
 
Alright! Excuses are off the table!

At first I thought this was a joke title for a thread, but shit, you blew the doors off this thing!

Nice work. Now don't lose your crayon so you can write more... :rolleyes:

Haha, thanks man. :)
 
Fuck you Greg....:mad:

Nice tune bro...Fun tune to listen to. Old School punk edge to it, sorta like the Ramones, but with different vocals. Maybe sounded a bit like Rollins there...nice mixture of shit. Great party tune. omething that doesn't have to be taken seriously....just fun to listen to. Great mix...it's raw, but has a good sound. Fuck off and die, wheasel....:D
 
Cool song man !

Sounds great on my monitors, I'm really diggin the mix.
I specially dig those stops, cowbell then the guitars.
Great ending too !
Very nicely done.
 
Cool tune. I wouldnt call it punk. Motorhead more like it. One down, Greg L. A few more for an album. But its a hell of a start. Did you check out my cover of "Go To Hell". If not check it out. Alot of keyboard shit. My best yet. You still need to come up with a tune for us to work on. Im working on one now that requires me to learn how to play piano. Alot of hunt and pecking for me. Anyway we are very proud of ya son !!!

Haha, fuck you very much. :D

Yeah this was not at all meant to be some thought-provoking introspective poetry set to music. I just wanted to do something that people can drive really really fast to. ;)

Thanks bro. Yeah I've got a lot of catching up to do. Maybe getting this one down will open up to more stuff. I still like doing covers but this was very refreshing - even if it is just a simple blast of noise.

I tried listening to your "go to hell" but the link didn't work for me. I promise I'll try again very soon. I'll shoot you a PM about a cover idea I have that we could probably collab on and have it come out pretty good. :)
 
greg dude that was fuckin' awesome! punk as hell. needs more cowbell. but seriously man, that kicked ass. i wanna make some punk songs now haha.
 
Good Stuff man!!


bass sounds Awsome! Just like everything else really. Like the lyrics, finally something i can relate to, none of that hippy i hate bush crap.


But I can say it sounds exactly like something you'd hear on the radio.


Dude, i don't know what radiostations you listen to but when they play 'punk' here, its alwayś some faggy emo kids singing songs about how sad they are, crap like that.
 
So if it sucks, well, it's all my fault. :o

It's called "Boy's Night Out".

It's my first finished attempt at writing something halfway decent in a long ass time, so go easy on me if it blows.

Any, and I do mean ANY, comments/critiques/feedback are welcome and very appreciated. :)

Thanks,
Greg

P.S. - Play loud. :)


Hey Greg,

I think for the style of this tune you have all the ingredients in the right places. I'm not a real big fan of the up-tempo soughta (punk???) type music but your recorded tracks and the mix are very consistent with your previous material. I loved the cow bell and also the first solo was basic but very fitting!
As mentioned earlier, I think "Psychobilly" is a great category for this type of tunage!
I don't have any major nit picks with the mix apart from I would like a little less saturation in regards to the guitars but they still do what the song needs.
Good stuff Greg, thanx for sharing. :)

Do it! They're a lot of fun and require no thought whatsoever! :D

Thanks man. :)

Yeah I've never heard anything like this on the radio either, but maybe that guy has better radio stations than we do. :p

Thanks man. :)

Thanks Vinnie-Beth! I wanted a big thick wall-of-guitar sound just to kind of glue the whole thing together. I personally think the bass and drums do most of the driving on this song. That was my intention anyway. The guitars are just the screaming kids in the backseat. :D
 
...And I recall you saying recently that you couldn't write a decent tune or something like that... :rolleyes:

Dude it's awesome. Even though I used to be a punk rocker back in the day, I'm not a massive fan of punk rock anymore, but I really like this. Nice job :)

Thanks man. Hopefully I'll be able to come up with other fun stuff like this one. :)
 
The solo was the key to the idea germinating in my scone.
I knew you could do this sort of stuff.
