pretty good. you should try for a better recording of sound (which I know is hard to do)
Winning.Days
sure man, if you post the songs I'll give an opinion on what you guys can fix up on and what you're doing really good in.
idigfoo9
Alright thanks! Yea I wish we could get better recordings but for right now its just a mic in a garage but hey you have to start somewhere, and plus we're possibly getting an 8 track.

Yeah put some more songs up there. I like the vocals there pretty clean. Maybe it was sound but everything else seemed quiet. I dont know. It was good.

Ah yes, 8-tracks. laugh.gif I hated those things..

Quite a good cover! smile.gif

But a few comments (from a loyal musician): wink.gif
- try to improve the sound quality (i know its its not easy)
- even though each vocalist has his/her personality, this song is made to be sung with a higher "harsh" and trebled voice when your voice is lower, smoothened and bassed (which is great for many other songs though! unless you can change your voice? biggrin.gif)
- syncronization also you gotta work on. a bit off at some places between all musicians.
- the guitar in the verses should have more treble assigned to it, unless its the bass ithat is too loud (possibly from bad recording?)
- the solo is alright but quite wrong in a few places (iv attached the correct solo for you) biggrin.gif
- and lastly, the speed of the song is too slow. there may be arguements on "a cover doesnt have to be exactly the same as the original song" but in this case, the song sounds kinda "dragged" if you know what im saying? mellow.gif

God im such an arrogant critic... mad.gif
But I hope my words come to help!
Rock on!
-Flem cool.gif

Welcome smile.gif

Any other songs your band has covered?
What's the next song on your mind, of the Vines, that your band could cover?
qingqing
hey not bad~
vonman
um, its far too slow, and because its not that great a recording its hard to tell much else
Void
Okay, let's see here.

-The recording should've been faster.
-The vocals were often off-key, and were more low-yelly than screamy.
-I think you should probably use a different sound for your guitar. Also the drums sounded a bit weird, but it was most likely the recording.
-Feel free to go more insane with your stuff. wink.gif

Keep up the good work.

agreed on that, I like to think myself as a song writer and I love the vines but my voice is also too deep for the vines I have to sing an octave higher and it just sounds stupid.
