New heavy metal rock weird crazy song.

I got laid off from work, so I decided to try to remember how to write a song! This one was all in one day. I just made up the melodies/vocals and lyrics on the fly too, so it really is aptly named A.D.H.D. I also think music is too serious sometimes so I really just had a fun time with this but, it is weird and crazy at times just to warn you guys. I also would like feedback on the levels, especially the vocals and the bass. AND what are some good effects for vocals? AND what is a good mic for yelling and singing into? Thanks hope everyone had a great Christmas and has a happy New Year!

The song is ADHD

I remixed the vocals a tiny bit and redid the drums. Hopefully the vocals aren't too quiet now.

    Hey Tom, not sure what song I was supposed to listen to, so I checked out ADHD and hope it was the one you were talking about! Vocals seem a bit too much out front to me, but I'm not a very good critic on this genre; but other than that I think it sounds great! Hope you get back to work soon.

    Z,
    Good to see you around.
    This is classic Zeypxsun, honest and raw, with those little refined bits to keep us guessing.
    I take it you're liking that baritone?
    That little falsetto at 1:05 kills me.
    Got some asynchronous stuff going on, but it fits. This is you all the way, bud. No crits.
    Stay true.

    Like the guitars a lot. They really surprised me when then came in after the intro.

    Hey Duane you got the right song. Thanks for the comment and I was thinking the same think about the vocals too, so I think I'll try to fix that. Thanks.

    Hey Robert good to hear from you. And I do love my baritone, I can't believe I've had it for over a year already! I need to play it more. Thanks for the comment but there's got to be some crits, I haven't done anything for so long I'm really rusty and I'm sure I overlooked something.

    James glad you liked the guitars. When I started recording the vocals I had to mute the intro because it kept screwing me up since I seemed to not get rid of the expectation of a full bar.

    I was pretty sure not many people would like it without a normal song structure so thanks for commenting guys.

    Static is really good:) ADHD caught my attention but this one is really really good...Dont take this in a bad way(I dont know why but some people would) but it sounds a bit like Alice In Chains or something they would do at least:)

    I'm just a bumbling idiot thats trying to figure out how to use Music Creator 4 :(

    nice stuff! this could easily be a Devin Townsend song, in its creativity, vocal inspiration, downtuned simple riff-but-good-heavy-**** style. wow nice. i mean not my type of stuff really, but i appreciate well-played original music. i'd say not enough hooks to be a hit song, but a really really good alt-metal song. congrats!

    While not a genre that I listen to much, I liked it. Guitars are good AND most important, you had enough twists and turns to keep me listening!

    JudasPriestchic17 I'm glad you liked Static, I haven't heard any comparisons to Alice In Chains yet, I will have to ask my friend who is a huge Alice fan to see what he thinks.

    mgh thanks for commenting and I haven't really gotten into Devin Townsend but I know he's really talented so thanks for the comparison!

    Vallhagen... of course I listen to Mike Patton. I'm actually listening to Mr Bungle right now (Ars Moriendi). In my opinion he is the best lead singer out there, by far. Definitely a huge influence.

    The Big D glad to keep your attention throughout the song! Thanks

    Very creative and pro-level sounding. Mix is excellent. Almost reminds me of old Zappa.

    What a blast! It sounds like you had a ton of fun with the vox, which are really kind of whimsical. Phat guitars sound great and I like the stops at :50, 1:40, the little falsetto w/harmony. Lots of nice touches. Fun and funny.

    Hi mate. Sorry to hear you got laid off, happening everywhere recently :(

    Anyway, on to better things! Your tune rocks :) Agree with other comments about the vocals, and I love the fact it jumps around and does weird stuff! Reminds me of some of the eclectic parts in songs by System Of A Down.

    Although I have nothing like this on my MySpace page, I used to play lead guitar and sing in a metal/thrash band *many* years ago! Might inspire me to have another crack at it if I can get a decent guitar sound!

    I see you've used Guitar Tracks, have you tried Guitar Rig 3 and what's your opinion on the two if you have?

    Cheers,

    Jud

    Thanks marcos69. I still have never really checked out any Zappa! I need to do that.

    mcourter that was definitely supposed to be fun and a little goofy. Thanks.

    Sorry JudZilla I have never tried Guitar Rig so I can't make a comparison, but glad that you liked it and thanks for the comment!

    Some very creative material here man. I still love your voice, it suits this very well. Man those are some chunky guitars, whats that tuned down to? I love the slower mellow part near the end. Levels sound perfect here. Very cool peice.

    Wow, I love that guitar/bass sound! What tuning are you in?

    Solid song! I really like the voice breaking up at 01:36! The mellow part starting at 02:20 is really impressive!

    Excellent work! Reminds me a bit of Meshuaggah and Devin Townsend, but different, which is good!

    Hey Ed thanks for the feedback! I think I have a little bit of range and versatility with my voice, I just don't have any chops! So I try to keep that in mind! But nice to hear that someone who can sing giving me some nice words. Also it is tuned to G. ha ha I love this baritone.

    Thanks for the listening complex! Glad you liked it. I kept the riffs extremely simple again.

    Hey Jon I'm glad to hear someone like the guitar/bass sound I worked so long on getting! It can still get better (I need a new bass!) I used a drop G tuning in this (G D G C E A). Thanks for the comments!

    Strange song lol but something caught me, I like it.

    Nice change in direction at 2:30 as well.

    Drop D tuning on the heavy guitar?

    Thanks metalman. Glad you liked it.

    rob.pulman thanks for the comment and it is like drop D tuning but on a baritone.

    Tap thanks for the listen. Hopefully it held up as well when you listened the second time!

    Can defo hear Devin Townsend too. Also Stone Sour on parts of other songs.
    Awesome sound. Just awseome!

    Game Theory is one wicked tune. You should be very pleased with all these songs but that has got something special about it.
    Made me totally jealous now haha. I'm off to record something now.
    Thanks for sharing these with us.

    Thanks vaiman. It's funny because those are two bands I never listen to. Thanks for listening and I think the few things we can do here is at least inspire each other to be creative, push ourselves a little bit further and learn how to be more efficient from each other.

    Hey Zey,

    Very original twist on Heavvvvy metal. Refreshing. You went and crashed the party man! You put some melody and hook and dynamics into a genre that was starving for all three. Nice job and keep it up.

    Tom,
    Very strange tune for sure (in a good way)! I didn't read any of the replies until after I finished listening and the whole time I was listening I was thinking how much this reminded of some Devin Townsend I had heard. It sounds like you had some fun putting this one together.

    Thanks No How! My friends always say I need to put in more hooks but I tell them don't try to write hooks so it's funny that you mentioned that. Thanks for the kind words.


    Tony, thanks for listening. I've only heard a couple of Devin's songs and I didn't think I sounded similar but a few people keep saying that I do! I guess I should check him out some more. Thanks for the feedback
