My "Sweet Child..." influenced song.

Post by Don't Damn Me »

I always thought this tune sounded a bit like a cross between GNR and the Smiths.

Intro is a cross between Sweet Child Of Mine and buffalo farts.

Love the totally out of key solo.

I'm glad you think so. It's really difficult to reproduce the sound of Buffalo farts live.

That solo doesn't go out of key. But I get it, it's all part of the "Grrr, I hate you..."
You're doing fine work.

It’s absolutely out of key.

Or, the bass player is out of key; depending on how you look at it.

The two instruments are playing in a discordant fashion.

I'm going to disagree with you on this one. There may be some intonation issues that may be heard during the lead guitar parts, or maybe a FX pedal not dialed in correctly, but I'm not hearing anything that's screams "out of tune". But what do I know? I post songs on sludge instead of selling records.
It's all discordant

notes leading in to the solo and the first several notes of the solo are out of tune.

Song would be better if the guitar was taken out - play up the joy division vibe (unknown pleasures album style)

The intro was so long that I never made it past.

Listening to it again. I think it’s more like a cross between The Doors and Yanick Gers.

Can't you hear it's jazz man? Allan Holdsworth doesn't hold a candle to this.

Holy shit! Was this your high school band? This would be bad if it was played by teenagers…this is fucking terrible.

Do you have friends that tell you are good?

If so, you’ve invented a new style of music…. Participation trophy rock!

You're funny. I noticed that when posting music, confident and chill people offer good Insight or opinions. People who feel bad about themselves default to insults.

Which personality type do you think is cooler to hang out with?

You seem super fun and chill to hang out with. lol, I’ll guess I’ll stick with opposite!

It also seems all the reviews are pretty bad, wonder if that has to do with your charming reputation?

It's a bunch of political wackos that hate anyone that doesn't buy into the narratives. So even though this has nothing to do with that, sludgers post over on the link about politics. I'm used to it. But besides that I think I have a reputation for being pretty prolific. And every now and then I reach the right person and it's cool

Exactly. Although the competition is pretty stiff there.

Jesus Christ that was terrible. Love the bass hook though.
But, the singer sucks and that lead guitar is DEFINITELY out of tune.
I'm getting a slight Talking Heads vibe here though.
