[Suggested Entanglement]

Not bad

Not too bad as far as playing goes. You could have obviously mixed it better, but oh well. I'm liking the leads though. You're pretty good at playing melodic things with your Homer Simpson fingers, haha. The drums are also sounding good man.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks dude. Sorry about abrupt leaving today. My compy is FAILURE all over. I might have to take it back.

Anyways, I've really been practicing a lot with those homer fingers. haha.
Thanks for the review, whoreface.\m/

[she'l die like the rest of us]

Not bad

Sounds decent so far man. Though some of the sounds in the beginning might be out of place if this is played in-game with a fight going on. I mostly thought it was the bell/clock thing that comes up a few times. I also might shorten up that pause that happens just before the guitar kicks in. I like that there was a pause, but it seemed too long.

As for the second half of the tune, I think the drums are a little much. They just start going crazy and don't really stop. It might be better to try and build more of a groove with them. Also it ends pretty abruptly, if this does get played as in-game music you might want to give it the ability to tie in with itself.

Anyway, just a few thoughts I had while listening. I'll be looking forward to the other versions of the tune. Good luck with it man.

Oh yeah, also, if you want to improve your tone, try looking into Impulses. Here's a link to a forum that should help http://www.guitarampmodeling.com/view forum.php?f=32&sid=efa9e1d3c05c9ff3f1 dc48e31e78d18f

[»§« Coming Home]

Not bad

This wasn't bad at all. Your singing was great, and it sounds well composed. There are a few little things I'd add or change, but it's mostly the percussion. It wasn't bad by any means, but I kept waiting for some badass metal drums to kick in. Just to really help pound out the riff along with the orchestra, and to give it a bit of a groove. Hopefully there will be some more metal coming in from this account in the future.

MaestroRage responds:

Yeah, I know.. I'm not used to working with percussion at all, so I had no idea what to put in there. XD We tried some snare before releasing it, and it sounded ATROCIOUS. Anyway, yes, I think there will be some more metal in the future, because I have to make a song 10 times better for this contest in a few months. >=3 Prepare to get your face melted, good sir. Anyway, thank you for listening. Ragey and I work hard!
With love,
LadyArsenic <3

[**\Odd Time Signatures Ex]

Nice

I really liked it at around 16 seconds when everything kicked in. The rest of it was cool as well, but could use something to pull it all together, like some vocals. Though I'm not even vaguely sure what the vocal melody would be, haha. keep it up man, odd time signatures are fun to play with.

Sonofkirk responds:

Thanks a lot Speedy. Yeah I think i would be difficult to add a vocal melody ... Yep, I love odd time signatures. Symphony X and Dream Theater rock !

Thank you bro \m/.

[Deathgore's Theme]

Not bad

Your tone is sounding pretty good man, you still using your XT or you start messing with your X3 yet? Overall it sounds like a solid theme, though some of the lower notes lacked definition through my shitty speakers.

DarKsidE555 responds:

with both I say but more with the podxt my good man. To be honest with ya...I didn't put much effort in this one...not at all. lol XD

[Guitar Challenge - Kitsumech]

Hmm

I actually really liked the sound of the dive-bomb and the other whammy bar sections. I really wish I had one. Though like you said below, they can be a bitch to keep in tune. Your playing sounded pretty damn good, but there was some clipping. Other than that one I have no complaints. Even that one is an easy fix. Keep it up man.

KitsuMech responds:

Sweet. =].

I was really happy with this piece, the guitar that I used on this has been out of commission for about two years. Haven't had the money to go fix it. So these passed two years or whatever I've been playing on a Warlock with a bent neck.

Anyways, enough about me, I liked your piece as well, I wish I could play with the speed and accuracy you do D=.

Haha, thanks for your time! >=]

[Tschüss Sterben Sie]

Nice man

Fuck, it's been a while since I've seen you. I'm liking the tune, especially your vocals. It's also nice to hear you do some more leads in your tunes again. If I was to complain about something, it'd be that the kicks were a bit hard to hear when they weren't going full-blast. Other than some mixing this is good shit.

BuryYourFace responds:

:) hey bro nice hearin from you again bro. man.... i tried my HARDEST on the vox but you know how it goes noone likes it except for people that know how hard it is to do vox. As for LEADs- yeah man im tryin to get back to my seriousness but also trying to make a difference. Everyone loves hard ass leads... im just showing how easy it is to make leads and how awszome easy leads can sound awesome. if you want some awesome shit done it isnt that hard at all. + if the song isnt your genre then you are in the wrong section of NG. THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT. if you make music and it is rated low it doesnt mean your music sucks at all.... im sure your music is very br00tal but you also have to keep in mind that there are little kids that are rating our music. and they dont like our genre. and when people like mainstream genres they refuse to listen or read. So its ok. keep submittin, there are people out there that still listen no matter what. And those are the truest fans of metal ever.... they never judge but they tell you everything that they think is necesary in order to improve your music. READ YOUR COMMENTS PEOPLE

[Arpegio Study [Guitar Collab]]

Nice

Great playing man. 'Tis always nice to see/hear someone who takes time to improve their skills. You're quite talented. How long have you been playing? Anyway, I really enjoyed it.

Kor-Rune responds:

One year I've been playing, thanks for the review!

[Through Ethereal Plains{D]

Cool

This sounded pretty damn good. You did really well with the drums and cowmeat did a great job with the music. I can't find anything to complain about.

Sonofkirk responds:

w00t ! A 10 from U !! I'm glad you liked it !!
I think cowmeat or me will add a guitar track to add some brutality !
Keep on fuckin' mother rocker !

[Guitar Challenge-Metaljonus]

Not bad

Sounds pretty cool even though you "messed up". Though there was a lot of clipping in my headphones. Anyway, good job. This also reminds me I still need to record one, haha.
