Seafroggys Yeah, not a fan of the vocals, but the rest was pretty good. Drums seem a little in-my-face, but that may be what you were going for (I understand they are loops).
Yeah those vocals are bleh
...I tried to punk em up a bit to fit my lame warbley voice....gonne try agian after practicing on my daily commute to work with the instrumental only mix of this on the car stereo....I did want a strong aggressive mix on the drums...will try and get them to fit a little better upon remix...thanks for listening!
dodgeaspen I'm a big fan of The Who.
Me 2!
rayc Musically really good VariQueepman,
I think you'll do better with the vocals - you usually improve with repeats.
Have you listened to Eddie & The Hot Rods' version of this? It's probably better than the Who's.
Give it a listen if you can.
Yours is more in the Eddie spirit.
Hey ray....never heard of Eddie and the Hot Rods...I always dig the bands you mention in your post so will have to look em' up...I love this song, but always wish it had a little more aggressive edge to it, so that was my goal on doing this....my real band plays this one as well , but we tend to do it more like the original.
Greg_L This is my absolute favorite Who song!
I'm a little pissed though. You beat me to it.
I've been meaning to do it, but just haven't gotten to it yet.
Anyway, I'm listening on a laptop in Bumfuck, Louisiana so I can't comment on the mix, but I just had to at least check it out. Kick ass song to cover.
Ha! Yeah man, I could definetly picture you doing this one great! Hope you can check it out when you get back, would like to hear your comments!
Chili I think you've got a great tone on the guitars. I think when you redo the vox and bring them up, you're going to need to bring the drums also.
Cool man.
Hey Chili, thanks for the good word on the gits man...worked a little harder then my usual haphazard way of tracking guitars, I'm pretty happy with them also....drums are definetly gonna be up there in every mix I do...thanks for the comments!
Seafroggys I dunno, my favorite early Who song has got to be I Can't Explain. Of course, I'm not a big fan of pre-Sell Out Who (although the Live versions of A Quick One from the Tommy era are top notch), but this is still a decent song.
EDIT: Awhile back I did a drum track for My Generation (Live at Leeds version) for a forum member from another message board, and later some random guy from Soundclick wanted to use it for his own cover. Pretty cool I might add. Maybe I could get a business for doing Who drumming.
Have you heard Green Days version of "A Quick One"? My Fav Who tune and probably in my top 5 all time tunes, I was jacked to hear it , and was actually kind of a let down... not sure what it was , just a little to polished sounding I guess....
Yeah man, I love the "My Generation" debut album....straight up raw rock...songs like "Legal Matter","So Sad About Us", "
La La La Lies" "Can't Explain", "The OX" etc..are just awesome...after that, I really dig the early singles, but think there much better live, like
the Leeds album or Woodstock, Montery etc...just did not have the same fire in the studio as there live counterparts...dude, I think you could make some scratch doing loops , see a lot of pro drummers putting stuff out
