September 12
Warning: If your politics are to the right of center, you might not enjoy this tune. But, hey, I respect your opinions anyway.
A friend of mine continually bemoans the fact that on September 12, 2001, the world was united with the US, and we have let that slip away. This songs talks about that. This is a metal tune I'll be presenting to my band later this week. We have a show on September 10, at which I'd like to play it. I did some goofy stuff with the vocals, but, hey, its metal. This is done on Sonar and the GNX4. I used the Thembonz preset from the web site and added some phase, for the McLaughlin inspired intro. I use the Dimebag tone of Guitar 3456 (Supermodels) and I add a bit of Whammy. The leads are done with Stevie tone also from the Supermodels. but with some additional distortion added at the processing phase.
Non-guitar parts are midi programmed on Sonar, and are played through the Roland TTS-1 SoftSynth.
Enjoy!

I'm not really a metalhead, so I tend to judge such music unfavorably. That said, I thought your tune was good. But...IMHO, being it's of a notably social/political topic, methinks it'd be a good idea for the lyrics to be more legible, since they're clearly the object of the song. It'll get the message across.
Hey cool song!! Sounded like it had passion in it, and you feel strongely about the message. That's good!! Hence I would clean the vocals up, at least some, say like the chourus it still had effects but much less I could hear what was being said much easier. Like you said that fits in the style BUT: I just think the message your singing should be heard well!! The intro was real cool!! I think the song flowed well, and I like it, even if I may be right of center in polotics!! I think you did a good job on the whole of the song!!! Keep it up!!
God Bless Phil!!!
