well too bad  nah just kiddin  here it is
it was fun to make and it has a pretty goodd outline to it. it can go many directions jam wise, so im really seeing good things for this song in the future  let me kow what you think. keep in mind this is kinda a bare minimum version of the song, its jsut garage band 
the guitar is a little, special, as i dont really like playing guitar unless its sparce and weird

I like the music a lot, I wish I could do that. I dont like the voice though. Dunno why. I know I don't really like the chilipeppers voice, but it's something else. Like the voice is trying too hard and is too unnatural sounding, or something. That's the best I can describe, and it's to help you, not put you down, of course. Good stuff, good job.Coolio.

I didn't think the singing was the best, but it was alright.
The rest of the song was great though.
Do you have any other material recorded?
And if so where is it located (if anywhere)?

i think the music sounds decent, you're a good musician.
on that point, i think you should work on production a little more, i think some of the melodies and beats seem out of place, especially some of the bass sounds. they tend to drown out the core elements of the song, which i really enjoyed. also, stylistically i would cut down on the funk just a bit, it doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the melody.
i think if you took this to a friend's studio they could clean this up well, maybe mod your voice a little, and you could have an album that makes a fair amount of money.
sorry i slammed you on the last post, but i still think the lyrics need work.
keep making music, you're definitely marketable to a cross section of demographics.

and as for cutting down on the funk. i know what you mean, but it is oh so very hard

i listened to it. the vocals sucked, the bass overwhelmed the whole song, too many effects on the guitar, not enough drums, not enough change ups to keep things interesting, the mix is muddy, sloppy and quickly put together, too long a song with too little vocals, oh and did i say the vocals sucked?:) im just giving you a honest opinion from somebody who has played in bands for 20 years and studied recording arts.
but really overall i liked it and think you should get an actual band together. Did you do that whole recording yourself or did you have any help? Putting all those instruments together yourself on a recording like that isnt easy because you have nobody else adding to the flavor. And i always had a hard time recording my own vocals unless i had a guitar in my hands playing along with it.. anyways i could defniately see you putting a decent band together if you have the right people to collaberate with.
thanks for sharing notapillow.

ha, my music career got corrupted when i started recording bands in studios and kinda lost interest in the whole scene. those guys behind the boards are bad sometimes. you know you have the call button to press and talk to the musicians in the booths and say "sounds really good guys, just cut back on the funk a bit, add more cymbals on the chorus, it sounds great!" and then as soon as we unpress the call button our remarks would be "man these guys really suck! theyve got no chance, and that drummer is a homo".

lmao yeah I went to school for recording arts actually and that's exactly what happened in our 'Sessions' class. I realize now though that sitting behind the board isn't something I want to do with the rest of my life...but anyways lol...
I actually think this song is cool though. Yeah the recording isn't great but I think the voice...I don't know...fits with the whole vibe of the song. On a different song maybe not but for this I think it works so kudos to you dude

well thanks. yeah i ws kinda going for un beat funkey stomper. i wanterd the cosept of rotting to be more exuberant 
and great one. i agree whith pretty much everything you said. the bass is overwhelming cus im a bass player yes i recorded the whole thing myself. im not big on guitar, i play a bit. but i did noy just want to lay out some straight up chords and whatnot. i wanted it to be maily bass focused obviously. it is a bit long but when i play it live it will probly strech out to double that tim  and yeah garage band isent the best thing to record ith ever. but it works and its not too dificult to work with. drums also computer drums become old after like 12 bars . i could have put some live drums in there. djembe and whatnot, but that would only add to the muddledness

I don't usually listen to funk, but I really like this song. I thought the vocals seemed a bit drab, and I would have preferred them to flow along with the beat, but then I don't know the genre or what exactly you were going for. Anyways, overall a good song; I would definitely be interested in hearing more. Nice job dude!

I think an easy fix for the voice might just be to pull a John Lennon and add effects to the voice to make it sound crazy and esoteric, it's worked for me on a simple drunken improve, as I really don't care for the sound of my voice.

yeah i think it's cool. the vocals are a little eh, but i love the bass, and i think more guitar could be helpful (if done right).
what i would look into would be a good synth player, or any synth player wanting to play. it could add a really cool edge to your style of music.
good luck and keep em coming

NotaPillow, next time I visit, it might not be the gathering, because I was hoping for the start of Jan, I dunno if I'll get off between those times, lots of business. But the next time we chill, I'll bring my buddy Marshall out, he's a guitar genius, and can play some sick jams, he makes his own material as he goes too, it's awesome. You two'd probably be able to bust out some cool tunes.

Nice work man, I DLed the song the other day and forgot all about this thread, didn't remember to listen until I seen this one bumped.
I like it, your bass playing is growing, I remember some of your old recordings, serious growing man. Good to see.

to fix the vox, try double tracking. record another take, keep both, and pan one left and one right. that will fill it out a little and cover up small discretions in your voice.
the song is kind of long, i would cut back on the intro quite a bit, add in several different riffs, more sound effects, and anything else you can do to change up the song. it's very tough to make a 6 min. song and keep it interesting.
I like the bass line. are you running the bass through an MF-101?

a good drummer is always the problem. it's hard to find someone who can actually keep time AND show up for practice. or at least it is here.
mandolin would def. be an interesting touch to that song.
