The rank I hope, or maybe title.
XD that just made my day. Thanks Kd.
Vote for it in my poll!
As I was making the song, I realized how Roasty’s bassline from “Field of Therories” would sound great, so I sorta put it in and left it there. That’s how the song got it’s genre, and then I came to the conclusion that instead of simply starting with sheet 9, I could make an “experiment” sheet like sheet 33 of Roastmaster’s song (I did debate with myself heavily on whether I should’ve kept it). I over-did it, but I never could get myself to simply take it out and move on. I’m sorry if it does lag, if you really take it that personally then just take out sheet 8 and 99 in the beginning and listen to it from there, it’s not that different.
Your new song makes me sad.
Up until now, there seemed to be an unspoken rule that mine and Hypo’s collaborations were some of the most respected pieces on the site. But the thing is, neither of us really know what the hell we’re doing. We were even considering ditching Last Bastion because it was all over the place. And TESUtFOM (or; the one with the fancy name that nobody can remember)? Shit, it’s pretty obvious that we just did our own thing and didn’t really follow any real structure.
The thing is, you seem to know what the hell it is that you’re doing. The song may seem disorganised, but you seem to know how everything should work together - and it does. That combination of strings and bass was a really clever way of making the bassline sound deep and atmospheric - the rhodes were barely noticeable but they really added a more playful element to the piece - the drums were fairly well done - and generally I’m too scared to use the metal guitar for anything other than single note riffs/octaves, but you seemed to pull it off very well whereas most others (let’s be honest here) can’t use it at all.
The things that obviously could use some work are - song structure (repetitiveness - baaaaad), your soloing (try and make it seem more organised, not just sound like random notes and rhythms on a scale), and the ending (no advice here - I have no idea how to end songs either).
But apart from all that, your song is pretty amazing. This makes me feel threatened. And when I feel threatened, I lash out…
Well TECHNICALLY those 12-12-8 notes WERE NOT AT ALL triplets and sheet 8 was QUITE OBVIOUSLY made in… haste… w… wait, WAIT
WTF IS THIS SHIT
Thank you, DC, you just made my day.
Yes, I take it really personally. I’m going to have to delete your song from existence 
just kidding. but really, awesome song
but I like There is a Joy more
Yay! Now I’m happy about the song
The only thing I don’t agree with is this:
Here I was thinking that the solo was probably one of my best, seeing as I barely used “tapping” like in Lay of the Soldier’s sheet 10, and add a bunch of neat effects near the end of it. It is random, but I always believed that a solo has to have an aspect of randomness to make it interesting to listen to, that plus what I believe to be a success with the Tamborine make the solo my favorite part of the song.
Everything else makes sense though, I hate the ending (even the great bands of the 70s and 80s have trouble with this aspect, just listen to the ending of Hotel California. Amazing song, terrible ending), and it was repetitive (I didn’t even mean for there to be a chorus at first, then I repeated the sheet 0,1,2,3 progression four times and it unanimously became the chorus).
Awkward 
XD
Yeah I really wish there was a better guitar for that role. I forgot the good advice of Roastmasters (amazing how many times I’ve referenced him now): The Metal Guitar is the Alpha Guitar.
Well now that I’ve just about gotten two full pages out of this one song I think it will be solidfied as my favorite song I’ve ever written. I’ll redo the poll with Gateway on it. Remember to vote!
I like your new song! It’s the best in my opinion.
No! No no no no no.
Well
I suppose there has to be an element of randomness, but you definitely shouldn’t just write a bunch of notes that go on a scale. There has to be different “micro-sections” in a solo where the instrument is played in a different way or with a specific pattern. These sections can be random, but there has to be those divisions. You can’t just string together a load of notes into one big section and call it a solo. It takes more planning than that. As for the repetitiveness and the ending which you agree on, I didn’t really mind those two aspects, but the soloing I feel is definitely a point to consider.
Although to be fair, that advice ^^ is quite general because I can’t really remember your solo, and my computer is far too slow for me to bother playing your song again just to analyse one part. But I definitely remember something about it not having those divisions. Or something.
Pro tip: make your solos more memorable.
Ah I see what you mean. Whenever I write a solo I just sorta put it all together as one big one rather than “planning.” I certainly didn’t plan out this solo, I just wrote it out and changed a few aspects to make it work. I’ll have to remember this advice for future songs. However it is this kind of technical thinking that spawned Saga of the Dragon’s solo. I suppose that is my most memorable solo though…you definitely give good advice DC.
oops, forgot you made Glory’s Road. THAT is my favorite song of yours.
LOL GS you forgot your favorite song of Star’s songs?
My fav is Gateway to Paradise! And probably always will be lol…but it would be cool if you make one i like more
Starwars chose the perfect time to share his song. Right after the share bug got fixed, while there was a shortage of epic songs.
Yes. I wonder if that made his song seem better than it was, because we haven’t heard any new and great songs in a while. Nonetheless, it was still great.
I like teh new songz.
It took you this long to getting around to listening to it?
Yeah the Brinstar Theme Remix was great. Loved the fading at the end.
We Fight For Freedom
I stumbled across it in the Techno thread (when Muselline pulled a Slipknot96), and was like, “Lemme see what they talkin’ 'bout” so I listened to it.
Now I need to change my pants.
you shouldn’t have left for those few months… you would have known about the songs a long time ago.
I was kinda busy with wrestling from December to February and from February to March, my mom was in the hospital. I started working on my song, The Thing That Never Was, for maybe like 10 minutes a day, 3 times a week while my mom was in the hospital. I didn’t have time to check every new post and listen to the new songs concealed within. Then I shared my song when I had enough time to edit my thread (it was like 2-3 days after I finished it) and that’s when I became officially not dead.
oh, ok.
