Listen To As Freedom Dies Rock Song By Topvega At Looperman.com

Sounds great. Good job!

Oh yeah, this rocks! I would call this rock. 2 shredding guitars is always a good thing, imo. :) This is Friday afternoon, driving home from work music. Def will pump up the blood pressure.

You could always replace the drums? No worries.

well playd and produced,but you realy need vocals for this track,good rock singer can bring your track to higher level

?It's only rock n roll but I like it like it yes I dooooo!
I'm rubbish with genres. The heavy stuff I listened to as a youngster was Sabbath Groundhogs Hendrix Edgar Broughton Band.
Never got into metal.
This for me is heavy rock and near perfect heavy rock at that.
The drums?
You tried using loops cut chopped mixed layered?

Jump n nice

I would love to hear this with live drums with good drum fills

Topvega, what's happnin', man?

I've been a fan of rock and metal since the 70's. (because I wasn't alive before then) And, when I say rock and metal, I mean everything from the Beatles to Cannibal Corpse, and Rush to Ministry.
With that being said, I have to agree with Danke. I don't really hear the Static-x, even in the drums, other than they are programmed like a lot of theirs are. I definitely hear it from more along the lines of where Crucethus is coming from.
This bad boy is straight up Rock! Drums aside,(even then, you could pretty much leave it, if it were on an acoustic set.), if you dropped this bad boy in the mix with Foghat, Mountain, and maybe a little Montrose, it would fit right in, brother.
As far as vocals go, nah. Too many people rely on vocals to make a tune. I think letting the music speak for its self is voice enough. If the music is good, it doesn't need someone warbling over the top of it.
Overall, man, this is a rockin' tune. It's right where it needs to be as far as genres go. Awesome work!

Take care.

I don't even like heavy metal and I like this song.... crazy..... keep it up man.

Welcome to America the land where freedom is endangered! I know there's ways to EQ the drums and give them a better sound.I have a large collection of single hits, many just suck haha I need to experiment alot more with drums. This is definitely metal :P Some Judas priest like vocals would sound awesome on this :D

Jump n nice

Well here is some tasty stuff! Always love hearing the heavier pieces on here. Great flowing lead lines and ear candy throughout. Just enough modulation to do the job but not so much as to distract. I wore a grin for the whole listen. Thank you.

I had listened your Rock traX before too , and as I remember U were always very good in rock & heavY ,& meanwhile I like your loops too,buT according to I have listened tallented Static traX and yours too , I can underestand your nice description and anyway it's great what U've done.best wishes.___Behnam

In my opinion it belongs in rock. Been Listening to some old Nazareth lately and in some ways this has that feel to me (minus the drums).

It rocks but it's definitely not heavy metal, as far as I hear it. Metal isn't only about the guitar and the drums would need to be a lot heavier to move it into that genre.

They're good riffs and some of the second (lead) guitar work with those trills is good and psychedelic though the drums let it down as they're using the same fills and patterns too often.

If you want to make a track like this as good as it could/should be, the drumming needs to improve so I hope you get some better software a range of hypersampled kits and start to make good use of the many MIDI files from professional drummers that such software generally comes with (or you can buy the MIDI packs separately). I have great fun all the time working with loads and loads of great professional patterns and mixing them up and layering them and using changes in groove to help me change riffs.

Apart from improved drums (both sounds and playing/patterns) I think this could do with some other change - perhaps something like another sort of instrument coming in (synth?) or the guitar dropping out to leave more space and let the track breathe a bit (allows you also to build it back up again and come back in with a blast).

Or could be good without making those changes I suggested but just having some vocals. Then the lead psychedelic trills could come in when the vocals are having a break and that would count as a change and create some excitement. GOod luck with it...

This rocks. Yeah the drum's a bit of a weak link, and (the right) vocals could be nice, but I don't mind that it's an instrumental one bit, so long as it's headbangingly delicious, and this is a crowd mover. Not heavy enough for the heavy metal genre? I disagree on that one, dude. Great work.

TV!

I'm really sorry but I don't hear nor StaticX neither Fear Factory...but I hear an outstandingly "headbangingly" groovy, bloody brilliant stoner rock song a la KYUSS...John Garcia is laughing proudly somewhere now... :-)

THANX TV, ALWAYS LOVE YOUR WORKS, MAN

Danke

Great track man. I'm surprised I'm the first person to comment. Great riffs and awesome bass line. Good drum beat but would obviously sound better being played by an actual drummer to give it a better feel. All round great song. Only advise is get a drummer and this song is just calling out for some awesome lyrics over the top and a solo in the middle. Hope this has helped and looking forward to hearing more of your tracks in the future.
