Listen To When The Queens Come Marching Home Rock Song By Topvega At Looperman.com

Lovin this one T.V !
The guitars sound great and they have a very modern British feel with the 8th note phrasing.

I like the mix - it gives it a raw edge lots of people love.
Rhodesy :)

Great band to model a song after. The only album I have of them is their one with No One Knows on it and that is great from beginning to end.

This one comes out of the gate guns a blazin'! I love music like this, in your face rock and roll. This is great live bar room music. Mix sounds great!

It's beyond me how such a splendid track can get only two
favs at almost 300 listens (well, now it's definitely getting the third)! Folks of Looperman, are you deaf or what??! This is a powerhouse of sheer rocking quality and those guitars sound so majestic ! The only thing which is bothering me is how could I have missed this gem before..:)

Thumbs up - Hat's off______Orlando

Topvega, how are you, man?

This is a great track! I kept seeing comments about vocals. Personally, I don't think it's really set up for vocals. There's a lot of guitar in there! That's not a bad thing, either. Funny thing is, when it first started, my brain went to John Lennon, then to Iggy Pop, into Mick Jagger, and then finally Josh Homme. The music is such a perfect blend of all of them, that any of them could fit in perfectly.

Excellent work, man.

Take care.
Sloe.

Great live feel and lovely playing. Great track. Love it.

yes good enough but.....
there is the thing abou the guitar that starts too soon but can be waiting until later on.

TV I've had the chance to listen some other traX of yours & as someone who has had a progressive metal band in younger ages , I've always found :
1_your clean and fast licks & picking
2_your loOoOoOvely old effecT (Gtr)
soOoOoO REMARKABLE...
& selecT of this track for sharing with us , is another remarkable point of yours as I've discovered just rightnow...
many thnx for taking me back in memory for awhile , to those days of those old tapes & queens of the stone age ...
respects & best wishes.__Behnam

TV!

How the f..k I missed this song? I think it's a superb one...man you got special sense how to make an awesome song from 3-4 chords (good musics don't need more :-)...
FAN of your guitar tone and solos...man, make something together... well?

Best, Danke

Great track, flows, changes, sounds live, looking forward to seeing this track with vocals

That guitar is awesome. I like the changeup at 1:05. That was sweet. I dont really see too much of an issue with the drums, I kind of like it.

That's an awesome sounding guitar dude. It would make Ace Frehley jealous. Is it a Lessy?

Critique: Dude, you gotta get rid of the drum machine and get acquainted with drum loops. Machines sound like machines. Loops are actually musicians recorded so they are far more organic than machines. And really when you play against a loop some high quality musician recorded, you are in fact jamming with that human being across space and time.

Plus actually using loops is WAY easier than fussing w a drum machine.

Anyways the human stuff sounds hot. A couple good loops would light your beat right up. :-)

Oh yes, definitely take the live band sound comment as a compliment. That means it's got lots of energy and dynamics and doesn't sound lifeless and planned out on a sequencer grid (even if some of it is).

Yes, I'm also a guitarist first but have got a lot better at production over the years and made massive improvements in the last 2.

The two big advances have been getting much better drum software and also the automated use of EQ. You can spend ages getting a decent guitar sound but it still just doesn't sound right at some points in the track. And you can use EQ creatively. It's not hard, you just have to listen carefully and try boosting it a bit and then coming back to it the next day to see if your change has helped or if it jumps out at you as being undesirable.

If you've got too much noise on a guitar part, there are a few, more specific, tools you can use to remove but I tend to just remove the high frequencies. I find most of my guitar parts are really boosted/excited by increasing the middle frequencies a bit.

I hate reading guides to how to produce and engieer so I just spend lots of time doing and learning from my mistakes and being humble about how good something is and always thinking hard about how it can better. And then I eventually do make it better.

Stick at it and you'll get better and do your guitar playing the justic it deserves.

I'm a huge stoner rock fan though haven't really liked any Queens stuff since the brilliant Songs For The Deaf.

But this is cool - fairly relentless rocking, really. Loads of good lead work, though I think some of it's probably too loud.

This would be really classic in a live situation - the kind of stuff people love to move to.

It also pretty much sounds like a live band rather than one guy doing each part separately in a studio.

Excellent playing but you could make the mix better.

Wow! This felt like time travelling... the spirit of the 70s is all around this track.
I liked everything. Probably it could work well with a good vocal part.
The solo-guitar parts are perfect: not a single rough edge. Good!
The rhythmic part is solid and pleasant. I liked the chord progression.
Overall, a really good song.
Ciao, Domenico

This is jammin! I love your guitar work, and it's nice to hear an organ in there! It's a mighty fine song!

I dig the guitar solos! They aren't always easy to shred out man but have em sounding good.

sounds great. i hear some "pissed off" or "cussing out" vocals being delivered in this one! great guitar work/overall mix. good start for the day! peace.

The Queens would love this one man. Great job as usual. Keep the faith bro.

Nice work. I always love great guitar work.! good sound you have going on here!

This is an incredible fusion of instruments working together! I really like this one a lot. My only input is that this should get more plays and reviews! OUTSTANDING!!
