Description : This is a song I wrote in 1990. I was in a band called Spoiled Brat with this phenom guitar player that was seriously full of himself. I was programming sequences on an Ensoniq EPS back then. (for my self, not the band) I programmed the drums, bass, and Acoustic guitars, while Troy McDowell did the guitar. A great singer friend did the vocals named Jimi Chappell. I wrote the words and music. This is for all you guitar players out there in LooperWorld. Please let me know what ya think. Rock on!

Hey my friend, I stopped by for a piano lesson, and ended up rocking out, haha. What a great track with some absolutely stellar guitar work. Hell, all of it is just top notch. I could hear the Skid Row "influence" but I also thought this one had a bit of "Journey" thrown in for good measure.

No matter, this was an amazing tune. Timeless.

And it proves that good music can transcend eras and genres. If it's good, it's good.

And this one is great!!!!

this is great...

Sounds like some classic rock stuff.

Great work even though it was made two decades ago.

Respect

I remember the old 4 track recorders, lol, bouncing tracks down to sneak in a few extra instruments, seems like ancient history now.

I love this track. It definitely has an older rock feel to it that makes me feel quite nostalgic about that period. I think the guitar work is fine, it is just what was required for this piece. Vocals are great.

Faved.

Good to hear a good rock track!
The song is really well structured and I really like the vocals and guitar playing(makes me think of some crossover between Guns and Queensryche somehow).Gonna check your other tracks.

Nice track. I think the guitars for the most part are pretty simple. Well placed but pretty run of the mill for that style. The soloing was cool and by far the highlight of the guitar playing. What really stuck out to me was the vocals, the sound quality (got that true 80's sound) and the overall structure. Kudos to you guys! Hopefully you dont take this as me being some kinda jerk!

Jerk?? Not at all. I totally respect your opinion....especially after that tune you wrote with my loops, pure genious. I programmed every single note (Ensoniq EPS)on the Drums, Bass and Acoustic guitar around 1990, and then a couple of friends did the guitar and vocal track as a birthday present to me in 1994. Troy did the electric guitar track in all one take, one track.(as he usually could!)and doesn't Jimi have a great voice? Considering this was done on an old Tascam 246 Cassette Recorder 4 trak, in my living room, I'm pretty proud of this one.
I plan on sending you some stuff to collab with soon. Do you have Reason 4???

Great track took me back to the late 80's early 90's power rock era, love the lyrics, and arrangments, guitar is great but I know what you mean some great musicians can be a pain because of their attitudes (shut up and play), not all only some, lol.

Hi Devodale,

Really very nice guitar work with the effects and all.

Very cool lead work. Wish I could play like that more.
I like the vocals and the overall mix is very good. You can hear everything clearly and its nice to have the vocals out front.

Great job and am glad I came to listen.

The electric guitar was done in one take, one trak. Oh, forgot to mention this was another one done on an old Tascam 246 4 trak in my front room.

Description : Recently made available on Spotify+iTunes, my own Christmas present :) A mix of rock/electronic and an unexpected touch of ....spaghetti western? And a big thank you to the singer, amazing vocals :)
A bit of a long journey, quite tricky to mix and would benefit from some improvements.
As usual, any feedback is more than welcome, enjoy :)

Description : "Celebrate the Cornerstone," penned by Kay Matteson, John Matteson, and Richard Shekari, is an uplifting contemporary worship song that beautifully encapsulates themes of salvation and divine love. Drawing from biblical imagery, the lyrics highlight Jesus as the Chief Cornerstone—initially rejected but ultimately essential to faith.
