jamal,

aw, how could I miss a guy that looks like a depressed Charlie Brown? :D

I meant to comment earlier on this song. I really like the energy, and how it's just different enough from the mainstream to be cool and not derivative. Didn't hear your live drums version; just the original. Sounds nice... since this is just on multimedia spkrs, I'll leave it at that. This song's a good 'un.

I agree with many of the comments here:

Good voice, good writing. Has an '80's sound: the offbeats on snare remind me of the Go-go's - as does the chorused guitar (this is a compliment). I think your final drum take should be less busy overall - especially ride/hihat. The gits have plenty of rhythmic stuff going on.
I would cut the guitar intro (pre-drums) in half and put a guitar lead over that break near the end (I guess that would really complete the '80's feel - probably not what you're after but it's what I'm hearing :D).

I'd also like to hear a bit less distortion on guitar and kill the chorus BUT double the part (except on the intro).

I don't usually get this opinionated, but I like the tune. Looking forward to more progress.
 
I Second That...

Jamal...Chuck is a smart and talented man...and not just because he totally agrees that the intro should be cut in 1/2...and that the drums lost some drive...

:D

This song will be absolutely perfect in 2 weeks, whether you like it or not.

:D

Jamal,

This ones really coming along nicely. You know it's almost done when we start nit-picking.
I have to agree- I would cut the intro in half. I also agree with the comment about the hi-hat being too busy starting at about 1:00. Also a couple of minor vocal issues.
Hang in there man, this one is worth it.

chad:..thnks man..i avalue your opinion alot i always read the tings you say on here and they are always great.....im glad you liked it .

chuck u:..i was definately goin for an 80's feel on this (except the raging guitar lines that im not capaple of yet)..lol..and lots of poeple have voiced that same thing about the intro...

twist :...im not sure if you listened to the live drum version or not..but if you did i myself didnt really like it all that much.....thanks again..


well i have decided to start over on this.....im gonna re-record w/ shorter intro....better(hopefully) vox...and a coupla things guitar-wise that crawdad mentioned...chriss was cool enough to offer his help and after hearing "what am i supposed to do"...im certainly taking him up on it!!.
