Rockin' juggernaut!.....I dig this one Randy!..Nothing beats the equation of...Heavy rockin' riffs,powerhouse skin playing,screeching lead work,solid bottom end boogieing,forked beards..and heaps and heaps of volume!...man you are one versatile critter!..a lot of players stick to one or two styles..all the different genres you have played display a great degree of control and insight into their inner workings,and an understanding of probably a more difficult aspect..their subtle influence from the music they grew out of...exceptional work!...have a great Christmas mate and I look forward to hearing more great work from you in 2009..cheers Dave :)
Hi there Dave,
Now...what did you say? lol
Thanks for the great review in describing my tune.
I appreciate all you said and can only say, I play 6 different instruments and thus I love music, and thus again, I will play different genre of Country, Blues and Rock type of music.
I suppose it is my old age and long experience that has helped me cross bridges from one style to another. I put myself into the soul of that type of music I am playing at the time and go for it, thinking like a Blues player or whatever.
I am playing what I want to hear in my heart and soul...Solid drums, solid bass, quiet or loud guitar. I feel this stuff inside and know when I have it and can release for others to enjoy.
That's how I do it.
Plus having quality equipment helps too.
Thanks Dave and have a Merry Christmas there.
Their so much more than an atmospheric phenomenon..since year dot we've been uplifted by rainbows.....I'd like to take up what Chris mentioned...what a great singing voice you've got..it's no surprise I suppose having the control of your diaphragm that you do...When someone sings they articulate the human element like no other form of expression within music..it's this very elemental quality that shines through here...some tunes actually do radiate,bringing happiness and light to the listener ..this is one of those little pieces of magic...superb work on all fronts...cheers mate Dave :)
Hey Randy this is Excellent!...in fact the only thing slightly wrong with it...is that the playing's just a little too tight for punk!...and there's too many chord progressions!...haha the Pistol's couldn't keep up..but Johnny R's vocals over this would be very interesting......it's great to see the diversity in your music Randy....you rock!..I'd really like to see the faces on a young drunk crowd after they discovered the music they've been rockin' to was created by a guy old enough to be their father(and then some!)...Brilliant work...cheers Dave :)
Hi Dave.
My favorite bass player on here! Glad you liked it and I appreciate your comments. I know your a discriminating player that can tell good from bad. :-)
I basically like Country, Blues and Rock. I consider Punk a slight diversion from rock and thus as long as it isn't screaming unitelligible vocals, I'll play it.
My step daughter is 15 and she can't believe a nearly 65 year old man can still rock with the rest.
Just look at the 'Rolling Stones', they look really old, but man do they still put on a show!!
I am trying to get one of my older dsughters that DJ's at a 'Goth' type bar on weekends, to play some of my rock songs, she is still a little afraid to as they might not like that type.
Thanks Dave for you review...always like hearing from you. Will review another of your songs and the others who left reviews here, as that is the fair way to do things.
Randy
A great sounding guitar.I can see your going to spend many happy hours with her...I was looking at some of the pictures from the Martin web site and this guitar has a dual pick-up configuration..mic & piezo...that's really spells out a nice mix as many subtle nuances are lost with just a piezo....I do like the black machine heads...reserved with an emphasis on the sound not the exterior.....keep it coming!..cheers :)
The tuners are a shiny Black. It looks like a powder coat. That stood out to me when I first looked at it. the double pickup system is excellent. I running it about 50/50. To much mic and you can get feedback. I've definately been playing a lot more since I got it. She looks and feels better everytime I pick her up.
Haha....can potentially ruin an expensive hairdo!....this is really good..very spacey..with a tripped out beat...everyone should listen to this!..especially in this place!..cheers planet
Hey Script...glad your exams are over..I'll bet you maxed out the top score! ....getting back to this piece or I should say production....I mean it when I say this could easily belong in a great stage show...it has the unmistakeable character of acting and grease paint about it...figures flinging themselves about with gay abandon in front of gaudy scenery...the ending sequence which has been vynilised is very classy and works brilliantly..I do like a good ending especially with a flourish....your back and your brilliant...cheers
Heya planet! Haha yeah I hope I aced my exams, but I think I only did average. Anyway thanks for the review. Couldn't stop laughing at your comments hehehe.
Hehe...cool Boson...I think you've got a great voice!...yeah ..your right..I can't pick the 'real strings sample'..but then who could since you've squeezed it through 'Impulse' or Camel Space or some such weirdness....it works very well as your on top of the rhythm the whole time.....This isn't weird though..George Bush patting himself on the back..that's weird...cool work!...planet :)
Hey Randy...one of my favourite listens!...what a great mix!..there's some excellent playing going on here make no mistake!....Two very appealing styles blended together in a twanging,reeling,sliding gumbo that's Oh so tasty...from singing pedal steel overtures to some hot flat pickin' turnarounds..this melange really heats up and delivers up a serve of great music that nobody will walk away from hungry....hehe sorry for the food puns but Ern's comment got me salivating...This sort of music is very thin on the ground here at Looperman and it's fantastic that your flying the flag for this style....One that relies on good old fashioned playing techniques and ability...and not what's the current flavour of the month......super work!..cheers Dave :)
Hi Dave,
So did get your boots on and dance the Clog maybe? :))))
I appreciate your long review and I feel good about the tune myself too. Making track after track of each instrument, so as to have its own style and sound and 'flavor', but yet fit in the whole picture without a stumble.
Not an easy task, but very rewarding when the whole project is done and you hear the results of your labours.
I think I need to retire just so I can keep up practicing my instruments.
I was really good on the 5-string Banjo once...able to keep up with Earl Scruggs and had the same detuners to get those dropped string sounds...like on his 'Flint Hill Special' song. So cool.
I am country at heart, but hearing me doing rock songs and blues, I just can't stop making any of them.
So anyways, Dave, thanks again for you nice comments. I've got a mean bass line coming to mind and I'll add that into my next rock tune.
Don't adjust your Television set!....I like the way this track builds up to the main sequence..a cool journey even if I don't recognise the neighbourhood...cheers planet :)
This is going to put a smile on many faces...Such a bright positive tone coming out of that guitar of yours!...This really is flawless..absolutely no dead spots!....I think a lot of people are scared to write "Pop" because they confuse it with "Commercial" sound...writing a good Pop tune is hard work and like all forms of music,it has it's own criteria....It's appeal goes way beyond just being 'popular'.....there's an inner happy optimism in good Pop music and this track is filled with it....Great work Rei!..cheers mate :)
Love that intro....great good time..up track....the synth line is wicked...not that I do it now but this sounds like a great drinking song and that's definitely the main activity at parties!..cool ending!..cheers planet :)
However at what price?.....I wouldn't want to be like Paris Hilton for example....Ok back to the song..first off it's very interesting..there are some things that maybe need to be addressed..some things work and some things don't (In my opinion)...the tempo of the song has a problem in two areas..one. your freestyling with your lyrics(which is cool) but when a new sample is introduced your jumping to sync with it,which makes for a stuttered delivery..two..some of the samples chop and change without allowing any reflection of what has come before...I really like the more classical piano part as it suits your voice..one way to go would maybe get your lyrics down first to a click track or something then add the music later...it's all a juggling act I know but it will help with the final arrangement...mind you in music anything goes and the creative aspect and decisions are for the artist alone...I can imagine that your music in this style would closely parallel Bjork maybe......just my two cents,anyway it's clear your musical expression is going places...that's super cool! don't ever stop..........cheers planet :)
wow, everyone on this site seems so professional, i don't fit in here at all. But everyone has been so nice to me =)
and your definitely one of those. I don't like the reviews that are just like..good song. i like the constructive ones. i need help i know, and you people on here are my only hope. So thanks so much for taking time to listen to my sucky songs. Your definitely a great person =)
Lots Of Love,
Orihime
Haha..I think it's interesting that you placed this under R&B...reminds me of Fireside Theatre...there's a few outro glitches on the sampling..but hey it's the creative ideas that are important and this is full of them....I'd add a little bit of reverb to Brittany's vocals just to soften them up slightly...otherwise this is pretty cool ..I like the windscreen wiper sample a lot..cheers planet :)
Hi Mejdi...my first listen to your work..it's great!..very interesting and artistic orchestration..the mixing of the two guitar styles works very well and reading from your profile we can expect some excellent work from your direction in the future...rock on mate!...cheers planet :)
Oh yeah!.....give me laid back Rhodes comping any day.....I like the drums up front then sliding back a bit for a new insertion...this piece has got great space..room to move..great to play,great for the listeners....I really dig this style..nice and fresh with just the right amount of attitude.......excellent!..cheers planet :)
Carnival time.......some crazy carnival!..the addition of the violin gives this an interesting gypsy flavour....love that tympani roll it makes this piece...I wouldn't have a clue what agenda Barak has in store for us..good or bad this piece could score it..cheers mate cool work! planet...
Very clever!...probably the best 'Framed' call message in telecommunications history.....it just goes to show what can be accomplished with a little artistic forbearance..something that is an everyday occurance and would in 99.99% cases be deleted..has been transformed into a piece that's almost sublime....this is great work!....your musical palette is indeed rich!..cheers planet :)
Being an old rocker you had me from even before you thought of playing this tune!.....great!..great infectious rockin' groove..you can't fail when you crank this one up.....forget everything you ever heard!...turn it up and get into it!..it's that simple!.....Rei..I'd like to see Ronny Woods get the sack...have you take his spot...within six months I guarantee you'd have reinvented..(Rei-nvented!)the 'Stones' and gone on to get them another chart topper!........I'm not kidding! cheers mate....planet :)
Ah!...only a second into the first bar and I know this is going to have that signature 'Rei' sound..the one we all hang out for!..it's a combination of things,a mean guitar central riff,lead guitar transients,incredible syncopated rhythms,warm keyboard overtures,and poignant percussive inserts...but what really nails it for me is the way all these elements are combined seamlessly into an advancing musical progression that only Rei can create and is his trademark.......most people look their whole lives for a sound they can call their own...you've obviously had it for years....cheers mate! planet:)
Extraordinary!...What a great audio production..It is amazing how different people react to a common thread ..in this case Eshar's acapella....this piece has real scope and vision with an excellent rhythmic undercurrent...you also give full presence to her voice by lowering the ambience and focusing when needed...outstanding!...cheers planet :)
The Salvation Army would love to recruit you at this time of year...great rendition of an old standard...Jeez,it takes me fifteen minutes just to decide what colour socks I'm going to wear in the morning!......The 'Bones' are in a class all their own....quality!...cheers planet :)
Hi Planet, Alexander and I are going busking in the run up to Christmas. I bought this jazz playalong book with all of the traditional songs but with a swing backing. We are hoping to make the shoppers feet move to our jazzy beat, and give us their spare cash...
I'm glad you liked my quick stab at a Christmas tune...
Cheers Slap...
Pandemonium broke out today at the Jet Propulsion Loopboratory as contact was re-established with the Gadget1 space probe...scientists had all but given up hope after the the probe had stopped transmitting for an extended period..It's five year mission to find the existence of music outside of our solar system was hoped to revitalise a flagging home musical scene....a spokesman for J.P.L. was heard to remark.."Well the signal was weak..but once we computer enhanced it we found it to be very Twangy with some deep space echo thang happening..sort of country but very spaced out..we've got our top people on it"...confidence is high that the Gadget probe will remain transmitting well and beyond it's mission parameters and continue to function for years to come.
Sounds interesting ..I like it!...there's a lot of filters being used between the vocals and the main synth line..I would have preferred a bit more separation..but that's only my spin on it...you've got a healthy rhythm section going with a strong lyrical content...cool work guys! cheers planet :)
Hey Pedro great old style feel you've laid down here..it restores my faith in the younger generation when I hear guys like you and Alexander carrying Jazz into the next millennium...we'er in safe hands..awesome dynamics all round guys!.......Oh,just while I'm here...the way to post a link is easy...from this page look up to your menu bar(above the Looperman content..you'll see http://.looperman.com/tracks_detail.etcetc....Ok hold down your left mouse button and scroll over this,let the button go...now you will see it highlighted..click your right mouse button and choose 'Copy'..left click....Ok now when you post your track in the forum area just right click then left click 'Paste'...jobs done...cheers mate :)
thanks dude! there is quite a gap in the younger generation of me and Alexander! i'm 21 he is 12 and he seriously has far more a sophisticated command of single note harmony than i've ever had. If he can play like that at 12, just imagine how good he WILL be at 21! its just scary! haha
Just don't turn on the ignition when she's in the garage!.....Hey man..another brilliant rhythm section! Holy Cow some of those key runs are as good as the nylon fingerstyle!.....you've been holding back on us..this current "Epic" trend is fantastic..you've got a great overview of your playing abilities and creative directions...very,very impressive and above all super enjoyable!..cheers planet :)
Planet,
Thank you again and again. This community is the best. I feel comfortable opening up without having to fit into any preconceived expectation. I will soon post some symphonic compositions. For now, I'm on the road playing finger style acoustic and singing....that's it. As simple and straight forward as I can make it. Thank you for the encouragement, I continue to gain confidence thanks to my looperfriends.
