Just a black label

somebody stop me XD :burnout: :laugh2: enough of this already lol

soooo... as you can guess by the title alone this song has been very inspired by Zakk and Black label society :rolleyes:

umm.. it's got drums.. it's groovy, not that poorly recorded, a little bit thought about prior to recording (hey TO, that advice of yours works :D) and i think it came out pretty cool. sloooowly but surely getting the hang out of this thing called guitar and i think zakk would be proud of this one :dance:

take a listen and tell me what you all think

Black label
 
Re: Just a black label

Please, post direct links to the tracks. I don't want to sign for soundclick, and I can't listen to it without registering. I've seen some people post direct links and I've been able to listen to them, can you do it?
 
Re: Just a black label

(by the way.. i dont know if you have to register to download stuff.. or it's been to long to remember)

http://www.soundclick.com/util/streamM3U.m3u?ID=1869926&q=Hi this is another one, a couple of days old

these are streams, i hope they work for you.. as for the direct links to downloads, i'll have to ask a couple of people how to do it

(and for some inconvenient reason, soundclicks servers are down at the moment)

Man Davey, you're just about to become the king of the riff... man I really, really dig this riff. It kicks major A$$! :headbang: You rock! Man I'll keep this one and try to play lead on it, if you don't mind...
 
Re: Just a black label

Yes, works now. Nice riffs on the Black Label. You know, it's my second favourite whiskey! There's no way anything resembling it isn't amazing! Did you plan it as a complete track or is it just a collection of riffs? Why not try to play a solo over some of the riffs, or are you agains that kind of stuff?

The another one sounded quite a bit like Maiden. I liked it a lot too.

What do you use for recording? Your SG through guitar port? What software? I have a similar setup as well, care to tell more about your sound settings for those tones?

well, i always start with a riff in my head, then try to evolve it into something bigger. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. lately i'm more focusing on the songwriting aspect and not just a collection of riffs as in some of the previous recordings (like fun or others) and try to hit less wrong notes and prepare for the recording more or less. the other thing is.. i cant play solos well. it's all a luck thing, sometimes i hit good notes sometimes not. i got almost 0 scales knowledge. i tried playing and it's fun, but it's more or less not my thing and i'm far from against it =)

yup, SG through the guitar port along with the software that came with the guitar port. i dont know the settings, but if you do have a GP, i can send you a couple of my presets, but it's usually a jcm800 and a tube screamer. for black label i used the spinal puppet rectumfrier

thanks for listening =)

Re: Just a black label

I have a PODxt and guitarport software myself. It'd be very nice if you could send me the patches.

Say, since you have a sg too, how have the JB and '59 pleased you? Did you try anything else? I have a SG standard and I'm looking for replacement pickups. I have a thread going about it, can you give me any advice, as you seem to have gone the same route?

sure.. if you have MSN my adress is in the off topic forum (and my profile too i think)

as for the pups, i LOVE the 59 and JB. the last couple of tunes were in a quite weird tuning (drop C through standard E CGDGBe - i'm not used to the flappyness, so thats why it sounds a little bit weird WFD, plus there are a couple of bends (especially at the pinch harmonics)) and the JB is tight as hell and retains it's articulation and ultra tight bass response, where others might get a bit muddy. IMO, it's the best pup for downtuning. and even in standard tuning it RAWKS. my SG is alder body, mahagony neck, so yours being full mahagony would differ in sound a bit. i havent got any other excessive experience with pups except that avoid powersounds like the plague, the ibanez V's are trebble ho's and that i still prefer the JB over the evolution bridge
 
Re: Just a black label

That rhythm sound screams OOOOGGGH! If that makes any sense :) And a big hooray from me for focusing more on making good songs; don't wanna fall into that wanker trend of mindless solos and crappy tunes!

Keep on r0xing :dance:
