(now with video) Out of blood out of mind - Down with Layne
Aloha once again. Here`s the latest song. I recorded it using (dont laugh) my brand new used Fender Squire from the pawnshop lol, and an acoustic guitar tuned down super super low in place of a bass because i still dont own one. I used Amplitube2 for guitar and bass tracks. The lyrics are personal but the vocal style I attempted is a tribute to Layne Staley R.I.P http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6849806 Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5UmIguQ__4 As always, im still learning to mix so comments and tips are always welcome. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to my music. Aloha!

Thanks so much for the comments and thank you for listening! I uploaded a mastered version in it`s place, but unfortunately cant tell much of a difference because i have a free account at soundclick, and the sound quality is`nt the best.

I loved this John - right up my street, can't wait to hear some real low down rumble when you sort yourself out a real bass! Nice guitar work - Rifftastic Steve

Thank you for taking the time to listen it it. Yeah I`ve been dying for a real bass! I actually bought a cheap Squier (I used it for this song) from the pawnshop when I should have actually bought cheap bass for around the same price. If anyone is interested, here`s the video I made for it. I made it to raise awareness of depression and self harm. I wrote the song as a release. Please be warned that the video contains graphic and disturbing images. Unfortunally i could`nt get it to sound decent on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5UmIguQ__4 Thank you again, and ALOHA!

It's a really powerful and courageous lyric. And sharing 'inside information' this way may just touch somebody that it needs to. You can't give a better gift than that. Excellently done.

Sound AWESOME!!!!!!!!! I really enjoyed hearing this tune!!!!! The guitars and drums were awesome!!!! The vocals reminded me a bit of Layne Staley from Alice in chains which happens to be one of my favorite bands. I give this one a 5 stars on sound click. Sounds great man!!! Bobby

Thanks for the listen man!!! Sounds great!!! You were saying you can't sing, YOUR WRONG ABOUT THAT ONE!!!! You CAN SING!!!!! NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!!! Some of the Layne Staley influenced vocals I hear in this song remind me of parts from "I Stay Away", one of my favorite songs. There are parts in this song that remind me of Dave Mustane from Megadeth on the vocals, which is another one of my favorite bands and vocalist. This is a cool tune!!!! Thanks for the listen!! Bobby
