All Around The World...really this time!

I just put another track from my band "D'YEA" up on our Soundclick site. We're up to our usual wackyness on this song... I think it's kind of catchy in it's own wierd way.
As always, comments and critisism is encouraged! Please?

I'll comment I but won't critique because I am new to songwriting and recording. I loved this song. Who is the guitar player, he was able to make a statement without walking all over the song...it was great. You may think this is strange but the intro guitar had the same feel as Angus Young on the Dirty Deeds album. Stupid I know but that was the first thing that came to my mind. Good job!!

Good straight ahead rock and roll! I love it... At about the 3 minute mark, has a total ZZ Top feel to it. Very well done Sonic..

I don't usually comment on guitar songs, but this was cool, kind of made me think of Dr Hook's "On the Cover of the Rolling Stones." Never did get the hang of the guitar because you can find the same note in more than one place...

Really, the song is a lot of fun, nice job!

Oh YEA...the rythm guitar was played by D'Yea himself... the instigater of the whole project. Jerry double them up and played lead.

Any other comments before this thread sinks to the bottom of the stack? Critiques?

Hey MIke....

Have you ever given thought to sending this or any of your other mixes out to be mixed by someone else?

There...... Now you will not feel left out of the bunch and will be among good company with the others.

On the serious side..... Yeah the song, production and mix IS that good and IMO is spot on. Very cute tune. And commercial ready.

The only thing that is out of place for me is the guitar that comes in at the start of the song, as well as the solo.... Straight, smack dab up the middle! Does not really work for me. (I have an extreme adversity to a solo instrument taking up the place which should be reserved for the main vox.) My suggestion..... Move it to one side (about 10 o'clock or roughly 35%) and add a crossing delay to it. IOW..... Create the pocket for the vox from the very get-go.

Everything else is fine.

Okay.... I am done now.

I give it

that was fun!!! Thanks. Use to tote a B3 and Leslie around Florida. Would be fun to be there now.

wicked guitar solo

Listening while I type:

1. Intro was crackly.
2. LIke how you build up the layering.
3. Very inventive mix with parts varying in and out kept it very exciting.
4. Loved the harmonies.
5. Loved that rap break. Just added to the excitement of the whole song. Even there you bring teh guitar solo in before teh rap ends, great the way that was mixed! And that bass thudd thud thudd right b4 the solo.
6. OK, I don't know who you guys are but IMHO this is probably teh best song I have heard on this Forum to date, and I listen a lot!

I also liked your other tracks which I commented on in previous posts.
If I were a record exec I'd sign you guys in a heartbeat.

Very talented act. Go make some more noise!

Thanks Kiwis...AND we have a kick ass live show!
More noise we shall make...

...

Love the guitar tone. Very Keef.

Song itself is like the Stones on steroids.

The lyrics are really cool. Harmony parts are awesome.

Guitar playing is outstanding.

Very nice job.

Hey Sonic,
Another solid tune from you bro. Had my toe tapping. Straight and solid groove. LOVED the guitar solo!! That guy has some serious chops. Well mixed and produced as always.

Thanks, Mitch!
Yeah, Jerry is something else on guitar. But then, you gotta figure that anyone who leads a Zappa cover band has GOT to have chops!
I'm glad everyone seems to like our sound... I wish we could get a decent record label to take interest...
See you around... -Sonic

Rolo.

LOL! You crack me up, dude!
Jerry used the V-Amp for all of his parts...leads and such. Billy Wells (D'Yea) used his old Marshall amp for the intro part and some of the rythm gits. I'm not sure what model it is (I'm a keyboard player and ignorant to that stuff), but it's cream colored, heavy, and looks old.
The harmony vocals were a blast to do. D'Yea, Gene Heinous and I all sang those. Antares was used here and there, just to...you know.
BTW...the CD "Basstar Mission" is still available in limited quantities. We pressed a thousand and still have just a few left.
I'm kind of surprised...except for kiwisdontdrinktea(who mentioned the crackle in the intro guitar), nobody has said anything bad about this track. We must be doing SOMETHING right!
HURRAH!!!!

Do not party too hardy, Mike. Remember.... You did get a "Have you ever given thought to sending this or any of your other mixes out to be mixed by someone else?" question from me. Now, didn't you?! Huh? Huh?

(Inside joke between Mike and I)
