vid of my new song...

i dont think alexi liimatainen was being a fan boy by his comment. i agree with you that AYDY is a pretty shitty album. it had its moments, but thats my opinion, of course, its nothing compared to Hatebreeder or Follow the Reaper. but i agree with him that your technique isnt all that you said it was. i mean dont get me wrong, you're a good guitar player, but dont expect perfect feedback from everyone when you post your stuff on forums. it seems like the smallest negative feedback you've recieved, you've called everybody fan boys for it, and thats not really fair. i read your posts about guitars and shit like that and you definitely know what you're talking about, theres no doubt about it. but as a musician you seem to be pretty close minded. you trash dimebag darrell, you trash alexi laiho, you praise nevermore. i mean...your song honestly sounds very close to nevermore material, and yes, i will agree with some people on here, it was quite boring. a good song, but...after a while its just repetative. i hope i havent offended you with any of my opinions and comments, but if i have im sure you could hide behind your, "well you're just a fan boy, what do you know" wall. and thats fine, i dont quite care. but i think you should be a little more open to other people's opinions. its easy to say shit like alexi just wanks the shit out of his whammy bar during solos, but....what about steve vai? if you think thats true about alexi's "shit" solos, then how about we just say that steve vai depends solely on effects pedals and shit like that. even when HE himself wanks the shit out of a whammy bar. they are both great guitar players, so those statements arent really true, but they are however, bullshit statements. especially since on your MYSPACE you have that Alexi Laiho influenced you as a guitar player. but from your responses to other people's opinions on your music, it really seems like you have a lot to learn about criticism as a musician.

oh yeah, nice guitar by the way
 
i didn't like the intro thing, but when it got going it was good. the clean section was cool, likewise the solo. good work

i haven't updated my myspace profile in quite a while, so it is pretty out of date info wise, i wouldn't say alexi really ever influenced me to play like him, he was more of a guitarist i looked up to... as for the fanboy comments, i've only said them about fanboys, and i know that you are not one. i expected much criticism on this, as i gave it the old "i don't give a flying fuck mother fucker!" when i finished recording it, i knew the solo wasn't perfect, although the riffing is pretty spot on... boring, maybe, as right now its only a rhythm driven song, i wrote this song to easily accept vocals, and i feel it is a really solid tune from that aspect. the solo, the only part i didn't just kind of wank was the last half of it, i couldn't really remember exactly what i played for the first half of the solo on the origional recording, so i just kerry kinged it a little... as for steve vai, i find him very boring, he is a very good guitar player, but not my thing, i can't enjoy him even the slightest. and alexi has gotten very boring to me, even the stuff pre AYDY, i can't listen to it anymore, i'm even considering deleting it from my hard drive, granted i still own all the cd's, i don't ever listen to it. i'm not afraid to admit my playing is shit, but that doesn't mean i'm not allowed to say anything about other players who may or may not be better than me, we all have our opinions, and i value yours, the opinions previously in the thread feel to me like they were only negative because of my negative views of bodom, which, chances are, is very true.

the intro thing imo sounds better on the real recording, as i do a 3rd harmony on the single note parts and it sounds evil as fuck... heres the origional recording, with sloptastic solo and all, just so you can hear what i mean, and also hear the much smoother transition from distorted to clean and back again, as well as the riff behind the solo...

i will give you that. a lot of people on here trash people because they trash bodom. well, bodom has turned to shit, but we wont go into that again...tons of us know it already. and belive me, its cool with me to trash on true fanboys...because...they're retarded :lol:, and act like they know more than everybody. but i just read some valid, in my opinion, criticism in this thread, and thats all i meant. as for vocals being put to your song, then yeah, that would spice it up a bit. songs, and im sure you know this, always tend to be repetative without the vocals, because thats what a lot of people concentrate on.
 
i don't really like doing just instrumentals, but i wasn't blessed with a good voice, or writing ability, so i only work with what i can... i can't wait till i get a band going after luthiery school, i have so much music recorded its not even funny. and i tend to try to make every song better than the last one, which i honestly feel i achieve with everything i've written... its just been one long 5 or so year progression(been writing 5 or 6 years now)
 
I like it. Not brilliant, I liked that odd-timed song on your myspace better. I actuallt thought of putting vocals over that.
But I have two shitty mics, it would sound retarded.
