EveryBody Wants to Rule the World - video and/or GBP home studio tour - Reginald K.Son

EWTRTW - video and/or http://www.reverbnation.com/artist/video/10445830?utm_campaign=opengraph&utm_content=video&utm_medium=link&utm_source=facebook  (Home Studio Tour link).


I shot the video in Denver 2008, and the home studio tour was done recently.  The home video was in response to a couple of fans from overseas (internet radio).


Thanks for watching.

Cheers,

RKS

    Notnat - Thanks man. I tried to keep it simple, as the studio video is targeted to folks that don't really make music. 

    Appreciated James.

    Ewtrtw has been a favorite song of mine for years.  You upped the ante with your version.  Your production is pristine, and your performances are first class.  The video of this song is very professional, and I'm curious if you are the producer for this and what did you use?  I liked the tour of your studio, and I can see why your mixes sound so good.  That being said, I noticed that the drums were louder than the lead vocal in your mix.  Was this your intent?  Doesn't matter because it doesn't take anything away from this production.  This is stellar stuff, and you ought to be heard by a huge audience.

    All the best,

    Lynn,

    It's a favorite of mine as well.  Roland is an outstanding artist and continued to write great music even after the breakup of TFF.  I appreciate your comment.


    If I knew in 2008 what I know now, the mix/master would be very different.  I've learned so much since then.  I listen to some of my older stuff today and say "Ewww".    I'm thankful that I now have great tools and a more than sufficient knowledge of tracking/mixing/mastering techniques.  

    Also, per your question, I did not produce the video.  My "manager" put all the pieces in place and I just showed up and sang the song 500 times and 500 ways.  I hadn't met any of those people, woman included, before that day.   It was shot at an actual Denver nightclub, a cable network studio (for the whitescreen), and various locations around the Denver area.  It was a professional crew, cameras, lighting, editor, etc.

    Again, thanks.

    As they say down my way, a different gravy!

    That was slick in everyway, you, the music,the performance, video and the women!

    tweet,tweet, im following!

    That track, coupled with your studio and words make good advertisement for "in the box" production.

    VERY  nice, very smooth..  This is also one of my own very favorites (is there anybody that DIDN'T love that song?!)  and I also love your unique version very much.  Video production is wonderful.   Love your performance, awesome job and a great listen.   Thanks for sharing it!   - John

    I really enjoy someone who sings so well. I like your version better than the original by far.

    EXCELLENT!!!

    Starise/Daryl1968/Shawn - Thanks very much for your comments.  They are appreciated.

    John - I do believe that song has reached "sacred" status in the music world. Lol.  Thanks for watching.

    Guitarpima - Hey man.  Your comment speaks volumes.  The TFF original ranks extremely high in my list of favorite music.  To say you like my version better is the utmost compliment.  Thank you.
