12/10 I’ve never listened (probably I have already) a song with this much of epicness, when I noticed I was with my eyes closed, felling the epicness and… It’ was to intense for me to describe… Wow…
Now, I tried making something good once again, but I’m not really sure if I managed to do it
THIS POST CONTAINS TWO BRAND-NEW SONGS(<–For those who didn’t read the subject line)(<–for those who can’t read this it says “For those who didn’t read the subject line”)
But first, a word from our sponsors:
And without further ado THE FIRST SONG! (hehe, I bet you thought that was the first song! hehe)
Seriously though, here they are!
When I got to the solo in Gateway to Paradise, or rather, the heavier solo, I thought “hmmm, the Fender Strat is overused. Lets give it a break!”
And then I totally overrode that theory in Waverider. Hope you guys like! Critque and Rate Please!
P.S. I can’t believe I squeezed 1 minute out of the first two sheets in Waverider. Also I meant this post as a joking one and if anyone takes offense, that’s not what I’m try to do.
EDIT: For those who want to know why the speed suddenly changes in Gateway to Paradise but still sounds equally fast, I used a technique for triplets that actually works and is real, instead of 24 20 20. First of, make sure you can divide the tempo by 4. Now, divide the tempo by 4 and multply the ending product by 3. As shown in Gateway to Paradise, 280/4*3=210. What this does is changes the time so that every 3 measures are as long as 4 in the rest of the song. Voiola! Simply place eany regular note, be it a 16th or whole, and bada-bing-bada-boom, you got triplets. I don’t claim this, as It has probably been covered elsewhere already.
See… what I like about both those songs is that you don’t hold your creativity back. You use as many instruments as you please, this sometimes is not a good thing (some of barkidds songs is a good example)
Was mine okay? In Gateway to Paradise I used just Bass #4 and the Acoustic Guitar for most of the song, plus drums and vocals. Besides the triplet solo (in which I only used two instruments as well: Metal Guitar and Electric Guitar #1), I didn’t really use that many instruments so…yeah. I’ll change sheet 24 to something else later, I just wanted to get this song out there. As for Waverider, there I see your point. I was trying to create a sort of Ambient/Rock theme there, hope I did a good job. And Fireball? Chill out. As ironic as it is for me to say that to someone with a nickname like yours, a two word post, especially a negative one, helps no one. Barrkid’s songs have been called strange by about everyone who hears them, that’s just his style. Strange or not, they are still respectable songs, just like anyone else’s, and are therefore subject to critque by anyone who wants to spend their time doing it.
Speaking as a representative of the community of chameleons who can’t change colour I would like to retract the statement made by one of our members as it was spoken as an opinion and does not represent the sentiments expressed by the party etc. etc.
Jokes aside, I think I’m just going to point out one thing instead of criticising the song - you’re practically the anti-average-notessimo-member. Whereas a lot of people round here seem to have problems with repeating too much, these two songs have pretty much no direction at all. Maybe I just wasn’t paying enough attention, but I really couldn’t make out any verses, choruses, intros, etc. Just seemed to be one large amalgamated mess. You have to repeat things to some extent - maybe not to the extremes other members do, but at least make sure there’s some structure there. Y’know wha’m sayin’?
I got it Fireball, no harm done. It’s just that in my experience with two word posts, they usually spark a huge argument, and I thought your post was an insult, as it didn’t really cover too much. Ah well.
To DC: Thanks! That’s almost exactly what I like to hear about my style, even though it wasn’t technically a complement. My thinking in this game (and life really) is that I hear something is bad and I strive not to do that one thing. So I doubt I’ll be too repitious, but a good structure, along with decent bridges and creative solos, are harder for me to do. I’ll point out this though: In Gateway to Paradise, sheets 9 and 10 are the chorus. The intro is ovbiously the first section at a lower pace, and then the music picks up before the first chorus (sheets 3-7). Sheets 11 and 12 are a very short verse. Then back to the chorus again before a repeat of the solo in sheet 2 with slight variations (sheet 13). Sheet 14 is the merger between the solo and regular song, and then the solo covers all of sheets 15-33. 34 is a bridge to the ending chorus, and then 35 is the ending. Thanks for the critique!
Parts that I believe need to be improved: The only verse needs to be longer, sheet 34 needs to be, er, better, and the bridge/solo spanning sheets 23-26 needs to have a better, more creative bridge (sheet 28) (lol bridge to a bridge). Tell me what other parts need to be improved, as I don’t know what you guys want me to do unles you tell me. Thanks!
As for Waverider, yeah. It’s a 3 minute 30 second solo, with no real structure (are solos supposed to have structure?) There aren’t even drums for most of the song, and even then the drums are underpowered so as to not subtract from the overall song.
Parts I need to improve: Actually, I don’t know. I’ll get a to-do list for this song when I hear that one part is awful, or another part doesn’t fit in.
I made a (really short) rock song, too! It’s not finished, and what is finished is kinda bad (since I spent like, 15 minutes on this). it’s actually kinda catchy!
Here is a little something i made while I was bored
It’s VERY repetitive…but it stilll changes enough to keep you interested…maybe
God…I’m posting songs like crazy…my last few new songs pwned this and all my previous songs out of the water…so if you really want to know how im doing check out my latest songs i posted
