Lay Down & Die

Thought this was kind of catchy.. Little rough with not many takes on the vocals but I kind of like the whatever happens feel.. break definitely needs help... otherwise simple bass guitar and drumloop thing..

Lay Down & Die

Thanks,
Dave

Hello Dave,

Yes....it is very catchy. Nice song and good vox.....i think the mix is in need of some beefy mids to flesh it out a bit.

Drums sound quite nice.

Definitely a catchy little tune, I like the rhythms from the drums, especially in the verse.

Hey Dave, long time no see! When I first started coming here you were often posting tunes, and I always liked 'em. I like this one too, great stuff. I like the Andy Summers-ish rhythm guitar, the syncopated drums and the gruff vocal. Tasty track Dave, don't leave it so long next time!

That was a GREAT tune. The mix is bright and clean. The performance on the guitar and the tones are awesome sounding. A little to much verb on the vox for me. All in all this is one solid performance and song.

fox:
thanks for the listen and yeah, I guess this stuff keeps us from getting too old anyway.. he he

no how:
glad you liked it.. I tend to scoop out too much in the final sometimes.. still learning that delicate edge..

Ed:
depending on what I am listening on, I agree the guitar seems a little spacy.. no jazz bass, just a mid-line schecter.. nice bass though..

heckxx:
yep, the syncopation in the verse made me keep working on it initially.. thanks for the comments..

tap: thanks for the listen and comments.. like pappy said, play 'em one at a time, but play 'em often..

james: yes, trying to get back to more recording time.. work has slowed so now is my chance.. thanks for your comments.. I gotta find what you all have been up too in the posts..

blipp: glad you liked it.. I actually use amplitube.. no amp/no noise=happy wife..

kev: thanks for taking a listen.. i have a slight delay on the vocal, but no verb (I think)..

ghacker: that chorus pumping sometimes creeps out on different systems I have noticed.. the dynamics of the parts lend to it somewhat.. Still trying to figure out how you make a final piece sound good on every system you hear it on..

Thanks JudZ,

The monitors I use are lacking in bass, so when it sounds good on the mix, it is usually too much elsewhere.. Something I need to change..

Warren,

Thanks for the thumbs up.. I think if I had played with Nugent back in the day, I would tell everyone... Definitely one of my guitar heroes when was growing up..

I can see you singing into a mic with a red bandana on your head! Cool stuff.

james,
thanks for the listen.. my stage days were long ago, but who knows.. always loved it.. just no time anymore.. that why I love this stuff..

robby,
thanks again.. I discovered everyone has a style.. it usually just needs developed.. I try to write stuff that fits my vocal ability, which some might question fromtime to time.. including me..

Later,
Dave

Good job!
