The site look good...and it is easy to navigate.
There is some room for improvement though, the two different shades of green seem a bit out of place. Also the buttons look a bit...well, not necessarily cheap, but old-fashioned...go look at some wordpress.org themes to get some inspiration (if you are already using wordpress, disregard)
I like your music, sounds cool...good luck...

The new buttons are MUCH more fitting. Good job on that.
Though 13.step is right, the green background is a little out of place.
If you're wanting something simple yet sleek like what you kind of have going, I would go for shades of grey.

Hmm I'll try out some different background colors... grey seems like a good choice.
Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to voice their opinions. I like what the site is now so much better than what it was, and I have the pub to thank for it!

You may want to have the foreground and background the same color so there is no differentiation.
You could also play with having a black background, and grey foreground, or even the inverse. I would just play around with it till you find what you like best.
You could take screenshots of each style and upload the images here if you feel like your designer's eye isn't too developed.
Either way,

any thoughts on my "final" layout?
I'm sure there's still room for improvement but I really like how it is right now, especially over what is was to start, for those that saw it

It's pretty cool man. I was looking thru it a bit and found it pretty easy and nicely designed. User friendly for sure.

im not crazy about the duplicate menus on the home page.. seem like a waste of space to me. 
id dump either the top or right side menu.. since the top navigation is global across the whole site id be more inclined to get rid of the right side links.
id get rid of that splash page too.. let people go right to the page instead of adding a barrier between the them.
The Oatmeal's 8 Websites You Need To Stop Building has a pretty good example at #7..
