Hey Bob,
 
Sound quality is great even on my lappy. You look more comfortable in the video this time, but what I do find looks a little odd is all the shots of you playing your various guitars without the rest of "the band" if you know what I mean. I know there isn't a band really, so it wouldn't be possible to have the band playing too, so with that in mind, if it were me I would be more inclined to just shoot yourself as the vocalist, maybe a close up head shot and then when you show the guitars etc, do them in close up too as you already did with the drum clip etc. Not suggesting that you re-do this one as you've obviously put a lot of work into it, but maybe something to bear in mind next time out. Also I don't know if you have the facility to do this or not, but I think it would look better if the shots of you were faded/blended  into the background image a little more rather than you just being stood in front of something if that makes sense - you could probably achieve this by making the footage of you a little transparent / ghostly looking. Wish I could explain it better. This is an example of the kind of thing I mean http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT7W58Z85HI
 
Hope you don't mind me pulling your work apart, it's not like your video is bad or anything, just trying to be honest so that with practice your videos can look as "pro" as your music already sounds.

paulo has a point to a certain extent,as im sure your improving on your vids all the time,i know one thing,they have major quality and a huge potential to go viral,i left a comment of you tube this morning and now finally making my way here.
i love this song,there is something about your style of songs that is real.
i mean like real music,what music used to be like.

youve managed to bring this style in to the now and with updated flavors,like the drop tuning i notice you used in this that is ever so powerful.

your a great combo singer-guitarist/songwritter.
and am very jealous,envy your sound and mixes.
they are clean and so crisp.

i could learn a lot from just listening to you mixes bob.
and thats about the highest compliment i can give anyone.

Hey, Scotty,
 
Thank you, Sir, I'm always happy for your good input and observations, and value your opinion very highly!
 
I'm still really in the very beginning of the learning process on this video stuff, and never even had taken a "home video" before my first attempt on the "Hearts On Fire" Video a few months back, so for this one I had to go back and relearn what I did eight months ago just to catch up.
 
Yep, LOL, I can play out live in front of literally thousands of people and never get uncomfortable or nervous acting like a total maniac on stage, but when it comes time to pose for a picture or in his case shoot a video, I get super uncomfortable and feel like a total idiot!  I'm hoping that with much more practice and experience, I'll learn to just relax a little and have fun with it, and it will end up appearing more natural on camera.
 
Thanks again, Scott, it's always great to hear from you!

a lot of phalic references on that guitar... 


This was good, but youtube sucks so badly that you can't just watch the video without it pausing and then starting again?  I wish this was posted on another streaming site where it would play better... I really hate youtube.


I would like more girls with big thigies dancing to the tune and shaking it... Don't get me wrong, you're not an unattractive man? But that makes any video better IMO? I could only get about a min and a half in before I had to shut it (because youtube sucks...)  So the key takeaways here are "Young girls" "Big thingies" and "shakin it..." Like a Snew video? Check out their stuff ;-) I believe they hire young "ladies" who are dancers? To appear in their videos... U can watch their videos on youtube even with the annoying pauses? :-) Not sure why? I can't quite put my finger on it?


Their music isn't necessarily great (but I like it?) but you gotta love their videos :-)

@Robby: True metal needs no 'Big thingies', and this is true metal. :)

Excellent Bob. Song is great and so is the video.

Bob - you really blow me away man - wow.

Big thingies make "everything" more enjoyable? And seem to fit particularly well with this Genera? Snew? Your honor? The defense rests... And I agree, Bob's music "rawks..." I'm a huge fan. But... Well, the best example I can think of that would help improve this would be Snew's "Got love..." Those aren't the girls you want to bring home to mama? But those are the girls you want to bring home...

I like the song a lot.

I can't comment on the video because since I'm going blind, I just don't care about visuals. I guess it's ok?

Keep rocking Bob!!!
