Very fun track to listen to! Regarding the title, you are so right that "life gets in the way!" This is the biggest reason why it is taking several months at a time to release each track I do lately, so many obstacles. I work hard to make my art a priority, but that is not always enough. As is the case with many of your songs, the guitars are the focus, and the most special part... I love how these are played! I am not a fan of things like addictive drums, or superior drummer in most cases, so you'll have to forgive me that preconception. I think of them in a similar way to virtual synth presets - they are standard to the point of being done to death. Regardless, the rhythm was excellent, mostly due to your guitar work. I like the dirtiness that you have incorporated, even though some of it seems unintentional. Personally I've been trying to get back to incorporating real amplifiers and effects in my guitar work... it gives me less temptation to use presets and over-process my guitar parts. Thank you for sharing this awesome tune!

BTW, I was curious as to what your setup is. What guitar/amp setup were you using for the guitar at :30? Did you mic or do a direct setup (think Mesa Cabclone)

Like others, I liked the intro sample as well, very Beatlesque. I like the thick guitars, nice layering. I think with a little less limiting/compression on the master it may separate the instruments a little more in the mix, things may stand out more. There is an artifact as the song starts, no biggie but it's noticeable. Pretty groovy tune, brings me back a few years. Well done TV!

Awesome intro. Very airy and dreamy. The tone on that guitar is sick. Feels a little bit off sync at a few parts but I'm guessing that's because you played the instruments live haha. The drums seem to be lacking a bit in punch but wow this is an awesome groove. You must had a ton of fun recording this lol. This song makes me want to pick up my electric guitar and perfect recording tone haha. Great job!

love it, it's a great vibe.

Hey
Really liked this song. I was first drawn to it because of its very cool name hahah and I think its first seconds are very unique and put you in the right mood for the song. Lately, I've been becoming a fan of electric guitars a lot more than I was in the past, and I really liked the guitar in here. Pleasant listen ;) I agree with Danke that the ending was somewhat abrupt, though, but, as a whole, I liked this a lot

We missed these special TV tones...this is so groovy as your others...guitars are cool and the drums are good partner in that retro, dirty, vintage sound...if I were you I made the end a bit better...longer run out for the track...was a side note only...

Respect and handshake, Danke

Awesome job bro. That's how you shred the track.
Parts had some glimpses of SRV, one of my favs.
Keep it up man. Life seems to get in the way of a lot of things but you always have to resort back to what makes YOU happy in order to stay sane. I know.
Keep up the pleasurable work and
Hope to hear more soon!

Topvega, how are you, man?

Well, it looks like I arrived to the party just a little behind everyone else. Either way, I'm glad I found it!

I'm not exactly a Zeppelin fan. More of a Pink Floyd guy, myself. I am however a pretty big fan of the John Paul Jones and John Bonham rhythm section of Led Zeppelin. Bonham had such a loose, almost sloppy, but impeccable style, and Jones knew how to fill in the spaces to keep it pulled together. I've always felt like Page and Plant were doing their own thing in the band, while the Johns were busy being awesome. You've definitely channeled their rhythm on this track. The guitars aren't very Jimmy Page....but to me, that's a good thing. Honestly, what it sounds like to me is, The Johns on Drums and bass, early Gilmour on rhythm, and Billy Gibbons on lead. Damn...that would have been a sweet supergroup.

Generally, I agree with most of Statics reviews. Not this time. I don't think it's too long at all. This track is total jam band song, and that's what jam bands do. Jam. For long periods of time. When you find yourself grooving to good music, you don't want it to stop just about the time you're in full swing. For example...this song by Earthless. (link below) 21 minutes long and not once is it boring. I'd say you did a pretty good job of carrying this one for almost 7 minutes!

A few months ago I did a nod to Pink Floyd, (Red On The White) so I can totally relate to where you're coming from with wanting to do this track. I think you did a better job at just doing your own style based on their influence. Mine was a little more emulative, and I fear that it sounds like a ripoff. But, that's no matter, we're not talking about my track.
I like this one, and I added it to my fav file. Excellent work, as always. Here's the link to Earthelss- "Lost In The Cold Sun" I hope you like it.

Take care.

everyone can sing just take the drum out and have on it own track and going on slow by follow the drums flow.

Great playing, TV. I'm getting sort of a retro hard rock vibe with this one. Brought me back to my psychedelic days...Good job!

Ciao,
M.

TV,
Fav'd. Enjoyed immensely. Sounds like raw early 70's when guitar effects really started improving. Psychedelic? Somewhat. Grooving gets a 10/10 though. Respect man.
Mark.

Nice!

Wow man...NICE JOB! This track is HUGE with a wall of sound that fills the room up. I felt as if Godzilla was coming into town and blowin up the joint! Like you said, kind of like a psychedelic feel but with a massive giant sound like the way Alice in Chains used to do it. Great job on guitar and all. I love it!

cool finish! strong playing by you! very impressive. nice work!

hi tv!

Yeah, long time, no hear!

Surely, psychedelic from the 70's, 80's...very dirty with tones of rhythm on it and yes central thinks well that you are looking for a whiskey like voice!
Hope you'll find him (her?) :-)

Respect, Danke

you should put a rock songer on the track.

thats sweet!....one of my many fav from you..keep it up man...rockn!

Hey TV,

I've always like the wah pedal and I'm not a guitarist, but it sounds good to me. You really rocked this one out... Good job!

Cheers,
Scott

nice one. the sound you get from the guitars is really fine and stylish. some nice a bit of solo here and there... overall it sounds like a very powerful backing track. very nice work. alex

Greetings!

Gotta say, the guitar tone you got here is pretty sweet.

Seemed like it needs some chord changes in the 2-4 minute range. You stay on the same kind of thing for a while. I do like what you're doing though.

I wish I could get your guitar tone.

Hope all is well with you!

Evan
