Fantastic work Greg .
I can't find anything bad to say about it.
Reminds me of my youth.

Vaginasaurus Rex - another retarded disasterpiece from the mind of Greg

I can't add any more to what has already been said. Great song, great mix, great sound all over. It's a song I would buy. Very well done and has a humorous side as well. Doesn't get much better than that

Hey that's good. I know why he was thinking a capella - the break. I assume this had it's own thread at some point but I never went in the clinic much.
I like it.

Congratulations Greg.
I just received my HR newsletter and Vaginasaurus Rex is a featured thread - right on the top! -
Made me chuckle a bit. For I believe that the threads are chosen automatically via the amount of hits they tally.
The french must be going nuts - Sacré bleu! Qui est ceci Gregois le Bloodshit?

Thanks a lot dude.
Awesome, thanks. You can buy several songs just like this one from the links in my sig.
New album coming up very, very soon as well.
Thanks Bud. Ray is right though. I apparently did do a vocals only mix. I don't remember it, but I asked my wife about it and she does. She says she liked it. Go figure.
Lol. Awesome! That's gotta rub em raw. Good. Thanks a ton everyone!

Ever since I heard this I've been saying 'vagina' a lot.
"how was your day?" "it was vagina"
"man. that guys hat looks like a vagina."
"she's a vaginasaurus rex from what I've heard"
I even shared it on my facebook page.

Sounds good dude. Backing vocals are perfect. I like the delay on the Rex. Solo works nice too. Good stuff

I can't get the reverbnation page to play on this stupid thing.
I did listen to the CDbaby tracks. Good stuff Greg. I like your style of tunes! I am thinking you'll dig some of the stuff i got up my sleeve!
I'll keep checking back.

Great song, Greg. Would not change a thing. Can't imagine why the challenger backed out.
What I really enjoyed was finding "My Tourettes Queen" as pointed out by Johnny Deep. Very nice. We use to catch the Ramones ('79-'81) playing clubs in Connecticut and those where great times for me. Queen is spot-on!

Man, 7 pages in and I just saw this.
Love everything about it. You almost sound like Alice Cooper in some spots.

Lol. That's funny. I'm glad to see my work resonating in such a profound and meaningful way.
Thanks a lot arcadeko.
Sweet. Thanks for trying. Sorry it doesn't work for you. I'll be on the lookout for your posts.
Thanks dude. I'm surprised to see My Tourettes Queen get so much love. Lol. That song started out as a joke and just kind of snowballed into what it is. Glad you liked it.
Thanks Rami. I always look forward to your feedback. Better late than never.
I'm not really a fan of Alice Cooper for no other reason than I'm just not very familiar with his stuff. By all accounts I should like his early work. I just need to dig into it. I like songs like 18 and Schools Out but I don't really know his more obscure stuff. But if his later stuff is anything like Poison, I'll pass on that.

I hate Poison and anything after the original band broke up. Killer, Love it to Death, and School's Out all have shit I'm pretty sure you'd like.I'm not really a fan of Alice Cooper for no other reason than I'm just not very familiar with his stuff.

Sweet. I'll check it out this week. A lot of the bands I like tout him as an influence, so it just stands to reason that I'll probably like it.

Ok, finally got a chance to listen a few times tonight. I think it sounds great. I was expecting more of a Heavy Banger type sound though. 
Anyway, the whole thing is really focused and polished sounding...no extraneous stuff. Straight to the point, but still plenty of little variations thrown in here and there to add interest.
2 questions: 1) Is that a Mexican wrestling mask in the photo? Pretty cool. 2) How do you do the guitar sound beginning right around 1:19. It sounds kind of familiar and almost like you're riding a toggle switch on the guitar - just curious. It's a cool sound.
If anything. I felt like the solo towards the end was a little buried. I also thought the tone of the little lead bits throughout the song was maybe a little meatier and smoother sounding than the actual solo at the end, and if so, I kind of preferred that sound from earlier in the song. Your stuff already sounded great when I first remember hearing it, so it's tough for you to improve to my ears, but I do think you continue to refine your thing. The guitars are another step forward. Nice.

Thanks for coming back to it heat.
1) Yes, it's a real mexican wrestling mask.
2) That sound you're talking about is just feedback and I'm flipping the pickup selector with the kick/snare beats. Using the bridge pickup with the neck pickup vol rolled off, the switch basically becomes an on/off switch, and that's what I'm doing there. There's a little lead line before that second verse and I just held the last note and let it go into feedback and started flipping the switch all the way through. It eventually morphed into some harmonic shit that sounded pretty cool so I left it.
There's three, really four, lead gtr tones happening in this song. None of them were done at the same time and I fiddled with shit inbetween the takes. There's the underlying lead bits that sort of run through the chorus and do that feedback part mentioned earlier. Then there's the main lead break after the "she's coming" part which isn't even really a solo per se. And then in the ending chorus/build up part there's two cleanish palm-muted harmonizing accompaniment arpeggio things that kind of run underneath everything. Which one do you think is too buried?

Nice! I had to listen a low volume, but from there I could tell the mixing was very good. Love the song as usual.

Rex is King.
Humour & serious playing - Zappa did that but got way too serious about both. He forgot about K.I.S.S. which Kiss employed so well.
You were actually going to do a PROPER mono mix of Sloop if you recall. You accapella mix was becasue someone asked/commented about the layers of harmony.
I do think a mono remix would be really Brian.

Thanks dude. Aint seen you around in a while. How's things?
I've never given Zappa a listen. I've had people compare my goofy lyrics to him in the past, and I suppose that's a good thing, but I don't really know because I don't know any of his stuff. He's another guy that I probably should like, but have never even tried.
As for Sloop, I'm gonna remix it. I don't know about a mono mix, but maybe. I've got a big pile of covers I've done over the years. I'm gonna hand pick about 20 or so and make one big ol cover album and just give it away to whoever wants it..
