tall as fukk,indeed thats the oneDaninsky wrote:Yeah I know him. He's tall right? Don't know his last name but I'm quite sure we're talking about the same guy. Even though I don't know his last name (or ar least I can't remember ever hearing it) I would say we are good friends.

So here's the "band" (consisting only me on guitars and a drummer at that moment) I play in. We've recorded a couple of instrumental tracks so far and struggling to find additional members (singer and bass player). Anyway if anyone gives a damn I'd be really glad if someone of the local forumers will bother to check this shit out and tell his honest opinion regards the music and tell what does it sound like (similar bands/albums etc.). I know the sound quality sucks but I guess it's listenable enough (especially for those whose ears are used to 80s demos)...

And here I uploaded one more song, I didn't include it on soundcloud since we are not satisfied with some drum parts and the ending of the last solo, but overall I think it's our best track of these four:

Anyway let me know what do you think, I'm really curious.
Hi Maxim, i've only listened to the 1st track so far & only twice, but my initial impression was pretty positive overall.Maxim wrote:Anyway let me know what do you think, I'm really curious.
Wow, at first I want to thank you for such a great feedback. Especially on the solo part. I agree with you that this track lacks some dynamics, I myself realized later that this track definitely needs some changes. And I was aiming for the 70s sound so it's nice to hear that it works how it's supposed to.bigfootkit wrote:Hi Maxim, i've only listened to the 1st track so far & only twice, but my initial impression was pretty positive overall.Maxim wrote:Anyway let me know what do you think, I'm really curious.
The guitarwork has a definite 70s, (no bad thing in in my book), and your tone & choice of effects remind me a little of late '70s Frank Marino. The drummer sounds a little tentative at first, but once you settle into the groove he seems to click far better. Really enjoyed the guitar solo, i'm all in favour of proper phrasing instead of the 'look what i can do' 1000-notes-per-second approach. Restraint & feel impress me far more than widdly shredding, and i can't be alone in that.
Personally i'd be tempted to add another riff part, or fling in a tempo change to spice it up a bit, but i'm told my mucial choices can be somewhat schizophrenic. I just felt it was a bit lacking in contrast & dynamics, but that may be down to there only being the two of you playing.
Without bass or vocals it's a bit difficult to tell how exactly the song will flesh out, but there's certainly potential.
If i walked into the rehearsal room & a bandmate presented that as something to work on i'd certainly want to see where we could take it.
Hope you manage to complete your line up soon, and best of luck with it.
Here's a corking Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush track from 1980 which demonstrates some great use of inter-band dynamics and might give you some tonal/FX ideas:

Frank Marino is a great guitarist, hopefully some day I will be able to play as good as him and that's song you've posted sounds truly amazing. I definitely should get more familiar with Mahogany Rush.
Also thank you Avenger for your feedback too, although your post makes me wonder what Black Sabbath riff I've ripped off
I gave you a good one too, myself (unfortunately written in greek):MEXDefenderOfSteel wrote:Freshly released new stuff from my band (Voltax)

We tried to put the best elements from the last two albums into this one, finally we are completely happy with the sound and the whole package( cover made by Dimitar Nikolov and layout design made by Annick Giroux), also the best reviews as well as the worst have been coming out, meaning , we finally did something good with this one
