Out of Hand

Antony

Tried uploading to member music...user error, I guess.

I wrote this one several years ago but changed the structure, and somehow turned it into alt rock. It gets predictably hard, but the part I'm curious about is the clean beginning-my original thoughts were it should have a chorus effect, but I try not to use chorus (personal preference.) Anyway, if anyone has any thoughts I'd appreciate some input. It almost seems too low end to me, as it is played on the bass strings, in drop D.
Vocals and lead guitar to come.
Thanks for any input

I dug this. The part about the ex is scary though. :shock:
And your photo makes you look mean. Or possibly sociapathic?!? :shock:

Sounded fine to me. I thought over all the strings could have been up just a touch. Or the drums down a touch. jmo , I liked it, has a sinister kinda feel to it.

I like your other S/C tunes your pretty good!

Shred mean? That's the look of a well seasoned musician! 8)

Thanks for the contribution! Look forward to more!

Antony

Thanks for the comments, guys. Yeah, I think the guitars need to go up a bit, the drums kinda overpower them, especially near the end. Mixing is a nightmare (a fun nightmare) for me, I've been recording about 4 months and I'm a novice at this.

Shredd, I may look nuts; my answer is usually \"I don't photograph well.\" I'll stick to that.

Thanks again for the listen and input.

I did like this as well. Fine job 8) 8)
I really liked She Wants To Be also good tunes man.

I thought the intro sounded fine as is. A tad Long Repetive? I'm sure this song would gain with a Vocal Right now it just seems a little Repetive for a 4 min song. Just my opinion. Do you do a vocal in this? I think the drums were cool at times though dunno just sounded a bit off at times? A bit midi fied? I like how the tune built! 8)

partch

:oops: Read dummy! I see that the vocal is to come as well as a Lead. That should help! 8)

Antony

Partch, I agree it is repetitive but I think (hope) once the vocals are in and some lead it won't be so much. And yes, the drums need some tightening. Thanks for your opinion.

Rawb, thanks and I'm glad you thought it sounded sinister. It's kind of an odd tune (for me) and I hope I can pull it off.

Thanks for the opinions- I'm a one man band, (like most of us) and sometimes it's hard to look outside the box when you're in a song and the feedback is appreciated.
