Pretty cool
Although I'd seriously be careful using original samples of the song like you're doing. It's one thing to cover it, but using the original in the cover can lead to problems....
Off the legal note, the riff is pretty cool...Chris Daughtry beat you to it though...

Link is broken, but I researched it and came up with what I'm pretty sure your trying to show me. Hes a great singer but he used acoustic.
As for the legal issues as long as I don't blatantly claim to own and have written the original track, and I don't plan to sell it then there shouldn't be an issue.
Really digging the chug and harmonics
Catchy very dark upbeat riff. Strangely fits the song rather well. Good job. I'll go look for some originals of yours. You obviously have talent.
The live recording
is actually more energetic and better mixing than this, unusual. Great song, but you need to turn up the backing on this version a bit. Still a great song, keep on rocking guys.
Yea, that's why I uploaded the live one. I like it better too.
Very nice
Reminds me of a cross between Bob Seger and some aspects of Iron Maiden. Great song though, my mom would probably like this. Very golden rock years sounding. Very catchy...
Thanks for that. Great hearing from someone who has been around NG for as long as you have and has great songs too. We were going for Seger-style simplicity here, but done our way........ You got it! Play it for your Mom and everyone else. haha.
Not my normal cup of tea
but this song is catchy. I like the textures and melodies. They melded well and make a pretty solid tune. Need to develop a break and ending and the song would be pretty solid for the type of song it is.
the "break" and "ending" you're talking about is part of a formula to music that i still need to learn. i haven't had too much success trying to make it.
thought this is a loop so it shouldn't have an ending, but i do see your point.
i'll get there, its just a matter of when.
thank you very much for taking time to review my music
Pretty solid but..
a few things that might help improve this in my eyes...
Add some texture and variety...it felt like almost the same riff and the drum doesn't really brake from the steady double bass a lot...when it does the fills are pretty rocking, just again...little variety. Still you have a lot of talent and I love the intro.
Good song
Vocals are really good as with the other song Whirlwind, I listened to. Vocals seemed a bit overpowering to the guitar though. Again add a little backbone and the song would go from good to great. Good effort.
Cheers for the review! Always good to get constructive criticsm
I like the syncopated riffs
The syncopated stops really set the song off, very energetic and catchy. Toward the end it seems to lose its energy and shifts to something much softer, musically well performed but it loses the energy and captivity the beginning holds. Pretty solid for an effort without bass or drums. Try adding that and you will have one of the better songs on this site.
thanks for the review, will take what you said in mind!!
Catchy
I like the Manson inspired vocals. The music is dark and catchy. Maybe try using a little auto-tune on the vocals and maybe compressing them or simply turning them up a notch. Love the bass line and the dark guitar riffs.
Keep on rocking dude.
Pretty good
One thing though, turn your highs down, it drowns out the rest, I mostly hear the hats and crashes. Vocals and music are pretty well performed. Just seriously fix the mix and the song will be much better received.
i actually have a version that i fixed the mix...check it out
I'm a man of few words, but if anyone wants to talk I won't turn a deaf ear. If the house ain't a rocking, when you come a knocking, come on in, I must be dead.
