The track if fxckin rockin, its my opinion that u should b more aggressive with the solo's. Dont b shy to rip em like a fart rite in front of everyone, :)

Thanks man, I appreciate the support and the call for more aggressive solos. This track was done over a year ago and I have since gotten a bit more aggressive. Still room to turn it up more though. I appreciate you taking the time to listen and leave a comment.

I think I may have already said this to you, but I really like the "live feeling" on your songs.
It really sounds like a real band is playing.
Good!
I think the song has still some "rough" edges (a couple of notes here and there) but this is good stuff!

You have Domenico, and I appreciate the kind words and the support. You are right abpout the need to go in and clean up some spots. I will be on vacay next week and will have the time to go in and do some retakes in certain areas to clean up things. Also want to get better tone on the lead guitar. It needs to shimmer a little.

Thanks for taking the time to listen and leave a comment. It's appreciated.

The lead guitar playing on this has a kind of David Gilmour feeling. Great song overall. I like this.

topvega replied 23rd Jun 2013 - 13 years ago
Very kind words bro, it's appreciated. Gilmour is one of my idols and an inspiration to me. Glad I could do a good enough job with the leads to draw even the slightest comparison. Thanks for taking the time to give this a listen and leave a review.

Ha, I wasn't expecting to hear a rock ballad when I read the title, but it works. To me, it just feels like a song about frustration, with women. And I dig that.

topvega replied 23rd Jun 2013 - 13 years ago
Lol, yeah about half the time I name my songs whatever is on my mind. The other half they have something to do with the song itself. This one definitely not. Been in the mood to do a ballad for a while now. Always nice to slow it down and go with a less is more approach to the leads. More opportunity to stress tone and feeling over number of notes. Thanks for the kind words of support. It really is appreciated.

Awesome rock ballad! Well Done! now just needs some sounds of chicken heads being cut off and some ratchet sounds :) Love to hear the finished product.

Thanks bro, I must confess that those are other ways of saying dirt bags of the female kind, around where I am from. :)

I just felt like doing a ballad. Most of the stuff I do is quicker paced. I appreciate the support my friend.
Thanks again.

Is great to hear some proper Rock/Ballad music made with guts and emotion.Great drum programming and the guitar playing is intense,big and ballsy 70s style.Great,great work.Two listens in a row and its growing on me.(Would love to listen to the whole mix)

Well done!!

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

Thank you brother, always nice to get some good feedback and a pat on the back for the guitar work. I try to put some Organ in any song that I can get away with. I think it can add really good depth and color to a track. This is one of the few songs I can put in the finished folder. It just needs vocals. Thanks again for the support.

I dig the guitar solos! They aren't always easy to shred out man but have em sounding good.
topvega
topvega replied 5th Jun 2013 - 13 years ago
Thanks bro, it's always nice to get some good feedback on solos. Back when I played in bands I never felt confident enough in my soloing to contribute with them on stage. Since I took up Home Recording I feel my skills in that department have grown a bit. Still have loads to learn but I can fake it pretty well...:-) Thanks for giving it a listen.

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.

topvega replied 5th Jun 2013 - 13 years ago
Thanks bro, glad you liked it and I appreciate the feedback on the song in general and especially on the mix. I think I have come a long way in the Mixing/Mastering department. Was brand new to the whole recording and mixing thing. Was pretty lousy at it for a while. Seems like I can get a decent mix now. As for vocals, that is all that is missing. I pretty much consider this one done. I will attempt to figure out some vocal melodies for this and maybe write some lyrics but I am no singer. Maybe I will get lucky and someone who can sing will jump in on this. Everything I have done is open for collaboration.
Thanks again.

topvega replied 5th Jun 2013 - 13 years ago
I will indeed keep the faith my friend. Thanks. I think this is one of the few I have done that doesn't have that "live" sound to it. Sounds more studio done, and I really worked hard to get it. I don't dislike my live sound and others seem to dig it, but there is something sweet about getting that studio sound. I don't have to tell you, your stuff always sounds fantastic. Studio quality. So it means even more when you chime in with some praise. The support is greatly appreciated.

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!!
topvega
topvega replied 5th Jun 2013 - 13 years ago
Thanks bro, I appreciate those really kind words. I think this is my best track of all I have done so far. Except for vocals it is done. I spent lots of time working on the EQ for each instrument in the mix so that they would blend together well and not step on each other. Your kind words make me feel good about putting in the extra work on it.

Thanks again for listening and for the support.

Not my usual musical habitat - But You know what ? that dosent matter - Its a damn fine track you've wrought here !. Gave me the urge to scream: Walk this way ...... must be that cool Run DMC / Aerosmith vibe. Good job man !

Thanks bro, I appreciate you giving it a listen and being kind enough to comment with some feedback. I am especially encouraged by your kind words on the mix, I have been working hard on trying to improve my mixing and mastering skills. Been playing guitar for a while but the whole DAW and mixing is new to me still.

Thanks again for the support.

Doctorcatface, I love the name bro. :) I also love and appreciate the support. I can't take any credit for the drums as they are a sample. All I did was run some effects and EQ them to where I wanted them. Guitar, bass and keyboard was all me so I thank you for the kind words in those regards. I believe a good track regardless of genre should be one that pulls the listener in and engages them. One thing to say it, whole different thing to pull it off though. :) Thanks again bro.

Well let me give John Garcia a call and see if he is not busy. :) I dig Kyuss and of course Queens of the Stone Age. Will see what I can do about getting some vocals on here. I am a big fan of Stoner Rock. I appreciate the kind words my friend, and also thank you for giving it a listen and leaving a comment.

Dunno what to say except that I'm very sorry for you, Vega . Accept a big hug from me .

I love your track with this 70s touch in it . Rock-blues is the style I used to sing in the past and it speaks to me a lot .

Take good care, my friend . My dad also left because of this f**** disease, but now he's having a sweet time up there and I'm sure they tell us not to be sad for them .

Thanks for the hug and for the comforting and kind words. If you ever feel like putting down some vocals I would love to work with you. Blues based Rock is usually where I find myself.

Thanks again.
