Here's their video.

If that's the sound they're going for, why not ask Kid Rock to handle the vocals?

 

[Thorn23TX]

Wow, that's really... bad.

The other 2 songs on their myspace page are better IMO. The vocals in the beginning of the video that was posted ruin the song for me.

I try really hard not to post negativity but I would have to agree with ALL of the previous posts... the down tuned guitar sound is a disappointment as well but I still appreciate the thread by KINGSGENE. Interesting enough to check out.

Heh....I can't watch YouTube or get to MySpace at the office, so I still have no idea what this sounds like. Just saw the text announcement and hoped for the best. I will have to listen to this when I get home...

I was really hoping that this was going to be good like Ring of Fire,but man this really sucks, from the 3 songs I have heard. Kind of makes me sad because I really like Mark Boals vocals.It is so bad I was kind of embarrassed to look at this music video.

Damn, I love MacAlpine and Boals so much I was really hoping for something stellar and fresh. I haven't listened to the sample yet, but the above comments are depressing. I'll give it a whirl after the gym when I'm too tired to dredge up any emotion.

wtf is this?? to think this was basically Ring of Fire. uggh

Just terrible stuff.

Same....Macalpine has always been one of my favorite guitarists and Mark Boals, well to me he couldnt do no wrong...

This...I only watched half of the clip on You Tube....but meh....
