Description : I had some fun with a wah-pedal effect in this one. It's nothing too remarkable, but a fun little Rock piece none the less. Enjoy. V.

NOT bad at all!! With just a little more grit, I could definitely see this being played in an Arena somewhere. Well done!

Hey man, how's it goin?

Thanks for swinging by and leaving such kind comment.

If you go to my track list and check through there, you'll find a few rock/metal tracks that I did.
Specifically, "Overmyth" parts 1-3, "Mossmother" Pt 1, and "Red On The White".
I do have a few of them that are unfinished, but they're on their way!!

Thanks again!
Take care

This is some cool, long haired, hard rock band #####! The wah wah pedal is a great one, a classic! Metallica, Black Sabbath come to mind as I listen. Would love me some Hetfield or Osbourne vox on this.

Wayne, how ya doin, bud?

First thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. It means a lot.

I take it as a giant compliment that Sabbath and Metallica come to mind. Those two bands, I think I can honestly say, are two of the bands that had the most impact on my musical tastes. I would actually like to hear some Ozzy vocals over this, too. But it has to be 70's Ozzy.

Thanks again, brother. I appreciate it.
Take care.
Aaron.

Wow, this could have been A Type-O-Negative tune. Peter Steele's vox would have been amazing over this doom-hybrid metal tune. Great ending coda.
ValveDriver
ValveDriver replied 29th Sep 2021 - 4 years ago
I think this is the first time anyone has ever mentioned Type-O in regards to one of my tracks! I never really thought about that before, since I'm not a fan. But, since you mentioned it, I can totally hear it! I don't think he'll be doing any vocals any time soon. You know...given his current situation. HA! Too soon?

Thanks, man. It's a few years old, but I thought I'd dust it off and take it for a spin again.

I'm glad you liked it.
Take care.

Sounds like something out of the Doom soundtrack. Not enough of this style on Looperman. Badass track.

Hi Aaron...although I'm more a fan of your industrial stuff I must admit you're making top class recordings in metal teritory
as well and this one is no exception. It's true power pack of massive sound that you produce so damn well. Instant fav !

Compliments____Leon

ValveDriver replied 21st Jul 2018 - 8 years ago
Leon, hello!

First, thank you for the kind words. Knowing that metal isn't really in yiur list of favorites, it means a lot more that you still take the time to listen and comment.

As far as the industrial Valvedriver, stay tuned. Summer months generally bring out the metal in me. But, the colder winter months always seem to be when I do more of my darker, synth driven industrial style. I'm not sure why, though. That's just how it happens.

As always, I appreciate you stopping by, and always look forward to your input.

Take care, friend.

Aaron.

"Forgive my ignorance, but By "...too clean" do you mean tones and production, or the lack of fret noises and other organic artifacts that come from live guitars, or are they too perfectly timed due to being programed in a DAW, or all the above?"

Aaron, I was only referring to the comparison to Kyuss. They go for a much more raw sound with their guitars with dirty distortion and heavily muted tones.

No man, I'm not complaining that it doesn't sound real enough. I'm not one of those guys. On the contrary, I love the sound on this and I'm pretty damn impressed and all in on someone that can produce virtual guitar at this level. By the way I have spent countless hours editing guitar tracks to remove string scrapes and pick noises etc. to clean things up. Sometimes it sounds cool but mores times than not it too obvious or annoying. I'm digging what your doing bro, keep it up.
ValveDriver
ValveDriver replied 14th Jul 2018 - 8 years ago
I knew you weren't complaining, bud. I didn't even consider the thought that you were. I was only asking for the sole purpose of improving my works. I'm all about making it sound as real as possible, and who better to learn from than someone who knows, ya know? I thought maybe there were things I could have done to make it sound less...software.
Either way, man. I always look forward to what you have to say, and I'm always willing to accept pointers and advice, so whenever you might have some, throw it my way, mister!

Oh Hell yeah,,,well befitting of The Valvedriver,,,,,you really have been nailing the mixes Aaron...this is top class all the way....my hair is growing back in even though metal hasn`t often been my first listening choice....but canT ignore music when its well done with this kind of composing & mixing skills...I have an old 1983 Takamine electric gtr with a couple of Dimarzio high output pickups that does this kind of stuff to a T..tempted to pill it out of its resting place & make a noise...great stuff my friend....keep on...Ed
ValveDriver
ValveDriver replied 13th Jul 2018 - 8 years ago
Ed, hello!

I'm not sure what to say, getting that kind of praise from someone of your caliber makes my freakin day, man.

Man, I wish my hair would grow back after listening to it! I know metal isn't real high on your list of preferred genres, so it means even more to me that you still swing by and listen.
I think having found and learned the Shreddage vst was a really good rhing for me. Metal IS my favorite genre. And while I had a lot of fun with the electronic, synth based stuff from my early days here, being able to create the music I love just makes it so much easier. It just flows so much more freely.

As far as dusting off the ol' Takamine...do it! I dare ya! ;)

Ed, you take care, and as always, I truly appreciate your feedback.

Aaron.

Ooooo, that sustain is wicked man! Its pretty clean though so I'm guessing its all digital processed. Yeah a nice hard driver here bro. I dig the chord changeups and the drum track is also excellent and very tastefully done. Danke mentioned Kyuss and even though its probably way too clean guitar wise, it does remind me of something they have done. Definitely has a nice stoner groove and sounds great. Always a treat to see another ValveDriver track on the menu. We got to keep this place rockin !
ValveDriver
ValveDriver replied 13th Jul 2018 - 8 years ago
Neo, what's happnin, brother?

Yeah, it's all digital all the time with this boy.

Honestly, I never really got into Kyuss. I love the music, but the guys voice just doesn't do it for me. Which is the case for a lot of bands.

Forgive my ignorance, but By "...too clean" do you mean tones and productuon, or the lack of fret noises and other organic artifacts that come from live guitars, or are they too perfectly timed due to being programed in a DAW, or all the above?

I'm glad you like this one. I always look forward to your reviews, man. Thank you!

Take care, my friend.
