Take, Take, Take by brewchugger 6 months ago
haven't been on in a while and this was the first tune I listened to. I wonder if everyone else has been churning out such high quality tunes.

That is an "anthem"!! Love the 2nd part and the running scales in the background with the multi-harmony voice tracks. made me think of the Dead, u2, Weezer, beatles, black crowes all at once. Might get some disagreement here (and don't want to discount the first half) but you might want to pull out the 2nd half altogether and make it its own song that stands on its own. See ya - I'm going to listen again, then listen to others' stuff.

Err...is it me? by brewchugger 1 year ago
Reminds me of Weiland. Nice tune, chugger. Cool solo
Virgin of Seven Daggers by pharmakeus 1 year ago
Great tune. I kept having visions of the three amigos scene where they're in the desert dusk and Ned/Dusty Bottoms are singing a sweet duet with rattle snakes at their feet. Seriously, nice playing - I think it would be a great idea for folks to start publishing the tabs/chords along with the song - I'd like to take a look at it...

Why Don't You Write My Songs For Me by oakenbras 1 year ago
Pharma, yes Vocals are indeed distorted, played around with compression, couldn't fix it...not much of a perfectionist so I let it fly as is.

Lunda, yes Timing is indeed off, played around with some settings, couldn't fix it...not much of a perfectionist so I let it fly as is.

Thanks for commenting

As far as the guitar sound, there aren't too many effects on it: reverb and echo, maybe some panning. The rest is just the spirits in the room..
Kentucky Waltz (with RubyDubidoux) by ManfromTexas 1 year ago
Nice smooth Friday tune...
plutonium hurricane by KimeDegeszi 1 year ago
Sweet ending...got some crazy fx. Sounds like a plane landing.
plutonium hurricane by KimeDegeszi 1 year ago
Kime, due to your enlightening tune promoting awareness of a devasting event in Hungary, I actually educated myself on the disaster and discovered that there indeed was heavy metal mining waste in the sludge that was over-taking some Hungarian counties. Thus the powerful metal tones in your audio masterpiece have more than adequately portrayed the spewing of this toxic funk. We wish the hungarians well and our hearts go out to those that have suffered. Keep bringing the suffering of others to the forefront with your own sonic spew of goodness, my man...

Thanks. You've nailed the whole reason for making music

dwezil rip chord pie by KimeDegeszi 1 year ago
Beefy tone...kind of jack white meets cobain. I love that thing that happens at 1:36 too. Sound like you've got some cool fx going there. Definitely keep it up Godzilla
Dezekration - Can You by Verbalist 1 year ago
I was just listening to some 50 cent right before I heard this and there are a lot of similarities in the intensity and whole approach (meant as a compliment). Nasty lyrics too
Again by Bemoore 1 year ago
Radio friendly, nice tune.
Rocky Racoon by rem001 1 year ago
This is very cool - reminds me of Danger Mouse's version
Breaking With A Unicorn (Don't Cry) by rem001 1 year ago

That is some wicked graphic too
She Aint Good Looking by mikebms 1 year ago
HILARIOUS!!!! Some nice licks too
Stairway to Heaven (Led Zeppelin Cover) by EddieFranklin2 1 year ago
OK, Eddie Gatlin. I have to say, I cringed when I saw the words on my screen: Stairway To Heaven cover (this coming from someone who did a cover of Hotel California). But I was pleasantly surprised - nice job.

On the section that goes "time to change the road your on" I usually play an Am but you're playing something different - what r u playing there, some diminished chord?

BTW, I watched the youtube video. Nice effects and awesome costume change for the solo

Eerie - belongs on The Wall
My Dad's Cigar take 2 by SCJohnson59 1 year ago
This is really tightly produced. For some reason I found myself imagining the intro to a drama-comedy-cop series with the two stars popping out of an undercover car, guns drawn. then looking at each other and breaking out into a hearty laugh...I don't know
THE GOOD LIFE by KCsGROOVE 1 year ago
This tune is all about tone. really stands out to me - great vocal tones (very complimentary), guitar tones on the solo and a keyboard tone that oddly enough reminds me of a mellowed Zeppelin's Trampled Underfoot
Airforce Blonde by pharmakeus 1 year ago
Solid tune. Vox reminds me a lot of Bon Scott
Call me Baby redone by LunaBleu 1 year ago
"scratch this itch"...hehe. I like that
Priestess by brewchugger 1 year ago
Quality tune, chugger. Agree with above commentor - where are the lyrics? Like to 2 guitar breaks
Johnny West by brewchugger 1 year ago
Hey, cool tune chugger! Be interested to know what the inspiration for this was...

Slaves of by oakenbras 2 years ago

I'd Like To Take You At Your Word by carlajpatterson 2 years ago
Hey, I used the same sitar beat on my tune. There is a different sitar riff at the beginning and the same one at the end...

Sweet Jannie by ManfromTexas 2 years ago
So bluesy, Man. I love these 2 lines:

"I don't wanna stop walkin'
'Til we get up to the preacher man, hey"

Someone above mentioned Dylan, I hear that too (not the mate Dylan, but Bob Dylan smiley

Thanks for the comments!
She's Missing by ewigwanderer 2 years ago
Very nice sounds. Has an almost U2-ish feel to it even though there aren't vocals on it. Nice job!

Show Me How To Live (Audioslave Cover) by Tony2008 2 years ago
Incredible finish
Piggies (Beatles Cover) by Tony2008 2 years ago
Obscure White Album (my favorite) George tune - I love your cover selections. You nailed this one too, great harmonies.
Plush (Stone Temple Pilot Cover) by Tony2008 2 years ago
Again, you nailed the guitar tone. And the vocal tone was spot on too. I love this song and STP! You helped me enjoy it even more
Fire (Jimi Hendrix Experience Cover) by Tony2008 2 years ago
Killer solos, tone was sweet. Excellent!!
Those Things We Know by jamsborockda 2 years ago
Can hear the beatles influence...sounds like Julia a bit in spots. Inspired work, nice!
Robot Lies by jamsborockda 2 years ago
I like it! Has a whole robot feel to it. Is the lo-fi intentional by the way?
Early in the Morning by blackthreeone 2 years ago
Is that someone yawning at the beginning? I get it...early in the morning. that's how I usually feel too. Seriously, pretty creepy sound effects. I'd like to see the words too since they're hard to make out. Seems like something important.
Pain by SCJohnson59 2 years ago
Hey Scotty, based on your song information, I was waiting for the lyrics to pop in, but they never did. I was struck by the upbeat feel of a song called "pain". Maybe that's why the tune cheered your friend up though...hmmm...now I've made myself think, darn it
Houndog by Shortboy 2 years ago
Dare I say, awesome? Yes, I do dare. Great instrumentals and solos, cool vox with the southern twang...only suggestion: loud crowd noise after "grab something to drink - we gone play all night long" yeah!!!!
core by Lapskin 2 years ago
hehe, I thought the nostril was a mouth on the tune's graphic above. Kind of makes it look like a cool, puzzled alien. I'd like to see more details on how a track like this was made. I like the effects
Overture to "City Of The Beasts" by abitran128 2 years ago
Felt like I was in the jungle...definitely...not familiar with the story though.
The Astronomers Widow by AnEnglishState 2 years ago
"industrial" feel to it. I like the moaning and found myself wanting to hear more vocals within this tune.
Ring Of Fire by Dyl 2 years ago
I love a new version of an old song. Very cool!

The voice, the building texture...addicting.

Leventania (The Underground Scene Mega Mix) by Everine 2 years ago
Nice use of keys and piano for eerie, sometimes frantic, landscapes
Love Me by yankee77 2 years ago
Vocals have a very Jeff Buckley feel to it.

Please stay tuned. There is much more coming tomorrow...
San Francisco Bay Blues by ManfromTexas 2 years ago
Quality fretwork, my friend. Nice feel.
Live Wire by SiddP 2 years ago
I like the intro riff. It feels like you're holding back on the vocals though. try lowering the levels and really belting it out.
Snake! by MakenaMonk 2 years ago
Vocal layering is nice. Just my opinion, but I was craving some effects on the vocals. Maybe some bass lines in the background would also give it more depth. Nice lyrics
