[Sweet Child of Mine Outro Solo]

wow

That's pretty darn good.

Question: where'd you get the backing music?

nunyabizness responds:

guitarbt.com I believe it is

[Meat Loaf]

Whoa

I don't understand it, but it was pretty good. The beginning sounds like a speech from a Nazi propaganda film about meatloaf.

You used a buttload of different styles too.

Strange.

Love-Hate-War responds:

uh yeh..I didnt understand it either..uh...buttload?? Yeh the harmonica was kind of random. It was just something me and my friends constructed one lunchtime..we're strange

[Perfect Getaway]

O_O

Dude, that rocks hardcore. You got yourself a damn nice band there. If the recording quality on the vocals were a bit clearer, it'd be pretty much perfect. That lead guitar is the shit, btw.

Quarl responds:

Yeah, I know the vocals are weired. They always have been. We record out of my lead guitarist's basement, and he's really new to recording. Also, were getting a black female vocalist soon. You can hear a demo of her sing Rue of My Mind on my web site. Our current vocalists are also the two guitar players. It would be nice to free them up a little more often.

[The Clonic Jerk]

Pretty good

That's pretty good. I wouldn't consider it "heavy metal" though.

Nice going.

Quarl responds:

Yeah it's not really heavy metal, but whatever. Thanks for the votes.

[piano and lead guitar riff]

Pretty darn good

Sounded very videogame-ish. I agree with the other reviewer, maybe some thought-out transitions would help make this sound more cohesive (transitions and bridges are pretty hard to make fit and sound right in any song). Keep up the good work!

griff711 responds:

thx for da review....this ones just a compilation of riffs....i didnt really work on this...i just put sum riffs i had made into a semi-song...just to see what people thought of the them

[news]

Okay

I was okay, but kinda discordant. Some notes didn't seem to fit correctly and it threw off the pitch and overall sound. It'd be interesting to see this revised and maybe extended.

griff711 responds:

oye....i shoulda named this bulletin....i made this in bout 1 min, and i used a broken piano, to be funny....ill use this riff for bulletins and updates, dont boter reviewing this one.....i need reviews on the others!!!

[Destroying RATM-Guerilla Radio]

What the hell

What the hell was that.

I gave you a ten for effort because I felt sorry for you.

TVs-Slayer responds:

I told you I destroyed it right? I tried to warn ya man...

[Kill Em All (Metallica Medley)]

Good concept

Aside from the eardrum-rupturing quality and the fact you left some riffs out, it was a good effort.

Try toning down the distortion so you can actually HEAR the notes. Good luck covering Metallica, not the easiest stuff to play.

Chriz-91 responds:

Yea i know,it's all too much dist...i didnt notice that before i submitted it...here from i wont submit a shit until i get sum serious material to record with which i may get in sum months maybe....thanx for the review!

[Unforgiven(Metallica Tribute)]

Advice...

A few tips:

1. Don't sumbit anything until you can play it perfectly with absolutely no mistakes. You'll get bad reviews if you don't.
2. Do whatever it takes to get a decent quality recording with no buzz. Clarity is a big deciding factor for alot of the raters/reviewers.

This cover sounded kinda strange. Maybe it was the ffects you used... Hmm. Good effort though, its a great song to cover.

Chriz-91 responds:

Yep as i said in the Kill em all review...no more trax until i get new recordin stuff...and ye i know i practise all too little on the songs i submit before i submit em....so yea...good review...thank you!
