Self-Appointed Savior

Well, here is my second song creation on my GNX4. It is quite different from my first. This is what happens when I write songs when I'm mad at the world No main solo yet, I am hoping to get the lead guitarist in my band to lay something down for me soon. In the mean time, here it is.

I am especially happy with the drum track. The power of the ProTracks drum creator is astounding if one is willing to put in the time to really work with it.

I must say Cephkiller you did a good job at capturing that anger! I could really feel that emotion. And I really liked your mix, I will have to listen to it again, It was driving me nuts. I just couldn't place it , but I liked it!

Really caught me off guard when the song started. LoL For some reason I just wasn't expecting that, But I was like .. oohh this is nice , made me sit up! Good job.

Second song .. eh.. So how are you liking this gnx thingy mahjig? Sounds like you have the hang of it! Which is a good thing cuz I want to hear more offerings from you! thanks for the post.

Man you CAN feel the emotion on this one!!! Jeff, is it cool if I put this on my mp3 player so I can let some friends have a listen? This is an awesome track!! Worthy of being played in a standing room only stadium!!! NICE 8) 8)

Thank you for the kind words. Certainly, swallace1. You may put it on your player. I am just thrilled that someone wants to hear my music.

Wow...kick butt good!!!! Sounds like Ozzy..you must be a fan of his (or Black Sabbath) Those are some pretty high vocal lines too.

man o man, I wish I was the lead guitarist in this band. There's so much room to move in this song. I just can't get over how much you remind me of Ozzy.

Rock is one of the hardest types of music to master in the studio. Everything has to be big, clear and powerful. You've done an excellent job capturing the correct attitude for the song. Like you say, just needs a sizzling guitar solo and some fills...presto, you have a hard rock/metal classic.

2 thumbs up!!!

Thanks for the compliments. I never really thought about the Ozzy thing. Do you mean the vocals, the music or both?

The vocals mostly, but the music sure doesn't stray far from Ozzy's style.

If you've seen Ozzy live in a smaller venue, then you realize his vocals are heavily produced on his albums. His real sound is very similar to yours.

Naturally, he has more polish or pe-zzazz...but he's also been doing it on a super pro level for decades.

I can't be the only one to hear Ozzy in this song

swallace1

nope I hear it as well

NICE!
(vocals need some EQ maybe....other than that, great tune!)

Cephkiller

Now with solo!

The lead guitarist in my band, Bryan Figg, came over and recorded the solo for me today.

Nice addition. I still hear a lot of Ozzy influences.

Actually another band came to mind, The Skyhooks. It's hard to find them but the vocals sure sound similar.
