A Songwriter Greg should Study

[barry c]

here is Lady Gaga ripping off Madonna

Lady Gaga - Born This Way - YouTube

Madonna - Express Yourself (Album Version) - YouTube

Whatever. He just expressed an opinion. You made it into an argument, which is stupid and futile and about all you do around here. Seriously, starting a thread just to attack someone? Weak.

No he did it to defend greg, which is why you came in to defend miroslav. You guys think you know everything and you dont know a damn thing

 

[miroslav]

Ripping off is something else altogether....Elvis Costello doesn't sound like Springsteen.

Willie sounds JUST like Dylan and he performs JUST like Sprinsteen.....total nockoff, but he does it well.

 

[miroslav]

wouldn't that make miroslav the idiot?

I don't want to take away any of your credits.....

 

[miroslav]

...it sounds like every guy on soundclick I have ever heard.

OK....fair play....let's hear what you sound like.

He performs just like Springsteen? im pretty sure willie would love to hear he performs like one of the greatest live performers of all time... LOLLLL it's ok miroslav, you took your shot, but I was to quick for it, your knocked out.

I certainly don't know everything. For example, why are you being such a dick? Why do you care so much about Greg that you start a thread just for him? Weird and sad.

Im a songwriter, i dont perform, I record on a laptop with minimal know how and gear. What I sound like is not what im interested in, not until I make my new abum, but Ill share some stuff with you, and hear your predictable responses. These are not songs for me but for different projects that came and went by the wayside

No but he sticks his head in every thread and makes people believe that they dont need to know anything about writing songs, etc etc etc

When in fact that is wrong, if you want to write and sing to your dog, thats one thing

Well...if you're going to present it from a totally defensive position with all kinds of quality disclaimers.....then it's probably not even worth listenting to.

Check back in when you actually write something you're happy about...and maybe then we'll provide some "predictable responses".....just like you do.

Dude, WRITE A SONG ABOUT IT. It's perfect... it's got drama, conflict....something you're passionate about-
Write a song bout how he's wrong and post it here!

Wait a minute

you come in here and tell these guys, who actually DO the tracking, mixing, mastering, playing, singing etc... that they're all mediocre in their abilities and that YOU are a craftsman and that your opinion is the right one. Everyone else is wrong.

And post this?!?



that's pathetic.

go lay down by your dish.

Yeah whatever chithead, the guy owns a studio and my demos with just a guitar and drums sound better.

his lyrics

talk to me,
you never talk to me anymore
you never drop your head
and stare at the floor

Im mean cmon jesus christ, a little more time on lyrics, then record it.

And you have no reason to be critiquing, you like others, dont even know what makes a song good,

Im happy with the songs, but you can't hear what a good song is, because you dont know what makes it good. which is why these threads were started

 

[miroslav]

Still looking to make it about me.....nice fail!

No he'd want royalties

There $25 American paypalled in it for you. I'm serious, please consider it. I get to keep a copy though.

it becomes about you when you say one of todays great songwriters is not original and blah blah, what in the hell is your stuff then?

Get a job changing tires if he is not good.

 

[Dogbreath]

Teag whatever chithead, the guy owns a studio and my demos with just a guitar and drums sound better.

his lyrics

talk to me,
you never talk to me anymore
you never drop your head
and stare at the floor

And you have no reason to be critiquing, you like others, dont even know what makes a song good,

ok then.

"torrents of blood
erupt in a flood
with pride, envision the dead

you fucked with the brains
of those you've had slain
those who rebel, behead"

you've killed a nation
A slow cremation
soil turned blood so red

Your name a disease
by death you're appeased
your suicide, I thee wed"

.....etc....

may not be your cup of tea but I think that meets your "criteria" for songwriting.


chithead.

 

[miroslav]

Barry or Carl or whatever your name is.....


....are these your "what makes a great song" lyrics?

I wanna be good at sports
I wanna go first when they pick the teams
I wanna look good in gym shorts
just like the cover of a magazine
I wanna hear people yell "yeah"
all the cheerleaders say...I'm great
I wanna be good at sports

I think you should just STFU now.....quit while you can.
