Fall Out Boy - Sugar We Re Goin Down COVER - Mahloo13

This song is my favorite in all Fall Out Boy songs and you did a very good job here mate. Keep it up

Pretty good cover. I feel like this singer enunciates clearer than the original singer lol. I feel like the drum is a touch too weak, but the guitar tones sound awesome.

Yep. This is fallout boy all over the place. Pretty straightforward bar band kinda cover too. If some drunken dipshit was yelling "Play some Fallout Boy!,"for the bar on Saturday Night, the band could do this & it would well satisfy. Great cover.

I admit I don't know the original song, but this work is perfect, the voice is very similar to that of the FOB singer, the guitars have the right volume, maybe the drums would deserve more evidence, but overall it's a work of excellent quality, extremely clean and professional! My warmest congratulations!

It for me was a flashback to the 90's. enjoyed the quality of it. great job.

Yeah after another listen. I believe you. It is a cover. you can clearly hear that is not the original singer. IDK what I was smoking the other day. It's a great cover tho. The Dj Bean has a pretty close voice to the real vocalist.

Good cover, does the original justice, the mix sounds great!

Interesting to see the comments on how close it is to the orig.? I tend to try to bring my own feel to covers but who cares if this doesn't. You are showing your mixing skills while giving the band a little exposure here, everyone wins!

Good job all around, band sounds good and so does the song!

Cheers!

Hey Mahloo, yeah this is a real nice version. I like the clarity and maybe improved dynamics over the released version. I'm also hearing subtle differences like lack of double track vocals in spots etc.. A lot of the hard questions from the others really stem from Loopermans rules about posting copyrighted material. I doubt if they even know much about the song or even bothered to listen and compare. In any case my suggestion would be to be very careful though. I like doing covers myself and currently have 2 in my track list, one by KoRn and another by the Truckfighters. Mine are not nearly as close to the originals as this sounds but irrespective of that, I imagine Shan's not really concerned at how good we are at reproduction. He just doesn't want to get caught up in any legal issues. And it's important to understand that he is really the one at risk here. He hasn't said anything to me directly but he has issued a thread with warnings on this very subject. Not sure if you have seen it or not.

I'm not in any way judging you or attempting to play Policeman here. That would be very hypocritical on my part to say the least. Only wanting to give you the heads up bro.

Almost indistinguishable from the original artist's song and vocals

yeah after a second listen the instrumentals may be a cover but the singing is for sure Patrick Stump. Why would you even post this on looperman? If it isn't him then I want a reference for who it is

Are you sure this is a cover? I hope you are not lying...lol b/c it sounds just like the lead singer from the real band. This could be some demo you had or found before the song blew up. I know covers songs are supposed to be exactly the same but damn who ever that is singing sounds exactly like ol boy from FOB...sounds great btw.

Sounds gud to me. You seem to be well abreast of the whole mixing and mastering process. Nice work!
