Any mix comments/suggestions welcome.

Thanks.

Dumb lyrics:

She casts a spell on you
You don't know what to do
She's got control of you
And now your days are through
She'll lead you to the end
She don't want to be friends
She hunts without a pack
She-wolf on the attack

She's got the eyes to cut you down to size
She's got the hips and those blood red lips
She's got the sleaze to make you fall to your knees
She's the kind of girl that'll ruin your world

She sharpens all her teeth
There's a trap underneath
She's going for the kill
She's irresistable
You can't escape her howl
She-wolf is on the prowl
She sinks her teeth in you
There's nothing you can do

She's got the eyes to cut you down to size
She's got the hips and those blood red lips
She's got the sleaze to make you fall to your knees
She's the kind of girl that'll ruin your world
 
Whoa, another blistering punk assault! My favorite element of this song is how the rhythm suddenly gets all chunky during the verses there--makes for some great contrast in feel throughout the tune. Stellar drumming, very tight performances all around.

No mix suggestions here. Keep bringin' it, my friend.

Love the dotted-quarter-note onslaught, bro! Ya don't hear that very often, probably because counting that with a click in your ears for that long is insane (unless you changed the click tempo during those parts)

Loved the double-kick action, too. That speed is *just* above what I can pull off reliably for more than 4 beats. This song would be a great practice song for me.

Great sounding mix. The guitar solo parts are guitar-heavy, but that's what they're supposed to be. During all other parts, the guitars pull back into just the right space. Kudos.

Heh... Yeah.. Nice solid tune.

How long does it take you to complete a song from the first time you think about it, until the export of the final product?
 
Sounds really good Greg. The only thing I noticed (on my cheap speakers) was the guitar was a little weak just before the first Chorus. I had to turn it up a little to hear it. Like I said, it might be my speaks.
 
classic stuff..maybe turn up your voice..or maybe not..was all good


did notice that it could do with some keyboards...lots of them ;)

Thanks dude. I have no idea what a "dotted-quarter-note" is, but if it sounds good, then yeah I meant to do that! :D

It really varies as to how long it takes from song to song. This one musically came together really fast about a month ago, and then it sat for weeks with no lyrics. I hate writing lyrics and they're always the last and most difficult part for me. Riffs, arrangements, tracking, and mixing are nothing. Lyrics are my kryptonite and it shows in my stupid ramblings. My lyrics are almost always totally stupid and i'm perfectly okay with that. My goal is energy. I generally want my songs to be a sonic assault. The lyrics are just along for the ride. They could be in chinese for all I care. Anyway, most of my stuff happens pretty quickly. I go with my gut and I know what I want it to sound like. I very rarely second-guess myself or the direction a song is headed. I just let it go however it comes out of my head. If I stay true to myself, it comes out just fine with no hassles. This song took about a month, but I worked on a ton of other shit too. I suppose all together, actual time from birth to finish on a simple Greg song like this one might be around a day.

Thanks. I think I agree the rhythms could be a little louder. It's right on the edge for me. I could leave em or turn em up a hair. Let's see if anyone else says anything.
 
Great sound... i agree with the guitar thing... a little weak before the chorus. The rest is great...

Thanks for listening dude. And fuck no on the keyboards. :D

Rockin'! Love the kik parts, and the overall in-your-face-ness. As usual, great mix.

Please tell me you're joking.

Thanks Rami. Kcearl is very much gay, so pardon the keyboard comment. :D

Im as gay as a lorry and Gregs tracks always lack keyboards :p:D
 
I pretty much hate keys. I'm not saying that there will never be an instance that they could maybe find a spot in one of my songs, but it's not likely. Keys don't belong in my brand of rock and roll.
 
Execution is great. Production is really solid, only gripe is the definition on the bass feels forced and may sit a bit too much center. If you have that split from the main bass track maybe add some light chorusing to it.

I like the weird chord changes near the end. :cool:

The only major complaint is lyrically this has been done, literally, a million times. :confused: If you're doing bar gigs then I can see why this would be a killer tune for that crowd. You obviously play and produce at a very high level, so I'm feeling like I'm not getting everything you got when you poop in my ears with lame lyrics. ;)

Thanks for checking it out. I'm not following what you mean about the forced bass definition. :confused:

I've already mentioned how dumb the lyrics are and what a struggle it is for me to write anything lyrically. Nothing will change that, and I really don't care. If you're needing deep and meaningful lyrical content from the songs you listen to, do yourself a favor and skip my stuff in the future. If you just want fun and energy, well that I think I can deliver. ;)

Everything has been done already. There is nothing fresh or new to do. I'm just having fun and rocking out with my cock out. Damn, there goes another cliche. ;)
 
excellent...made a difference

I dont think your destined to say anything with your lyrics..your voice is another instrument..and this does rock with your cock out ;)

The mid/highs on the bass punch through nicely, but they do so in the exact middle of the sound field and as a result they don't fit with the overall fat and well produced sound of the remaining instruments.

Sorry, I didn't read all the prior replies (I don't intentionally so I give MY feedback and don't get influenced by what others think). Didn't intend to touch a nerve. You're right, I'll just skip them in the future. But you're wrong about it all having been done, unless you just listen to the same music over and over. There's lots of good, inventive new music with interesting lyrical content out there. Maybe you could find a song writer with a horrible voice, like Bernie Taupin/Elton John? They can write their stuff for you to perform. No, I'm not joking. Your talent should be maximized. You are 90% of a very complex musical pie. Just a little more spice and it's going win blue ribbons at bake-offs :).

The bass is distorted and panned 5% to the right. I want it to pop out in certain areas - like when I get up on the G string. Haha, G string. I think I get what you're saying, but I don't know how to make just the highs come out somewhere else. I like the bass near the middle. I'm not into weird panning.

Lol. Thanks, but you didn't touch a nerve. Trust me, I know my lyrics are stupid. I genuinely don't care. I'm not pompous enough to think that anyone wants to hear anything I have to say - if I actually had something to say. And on the flip-side, I'm not interested in hearing someone else's lame ass opinions or feelings set to music. Even in music I like, lyrical content means nothing to me. I'd be just fine if a guitar played the vocal melody. If someone else wrote my lyrics, it wouldn't be my song, and fuck that. I'm only interested in big drums and loud guitars at breakneck speeds. If people like it, great. If they don't, that's great too. I make my music for myself.
