Part 2: Boss GT-6 Demo! "500 Casinos"

500 Casinos

I came up with this song because around here and Vegas, there's slot machines everywhere, even in grocery stores and the local Denny's :laugh2: This has always been the norm for me, so it's odd when I travel and DON'T see them all over.

Tone-wise, I experimented with some more vintage tones and wahs.

Here is part 1 redone, if you haven't heard it:
Beef and Oranges

Listening now, I like the change that happens at 25 seconds , reminds me of knight rider for some reason. The main part is very interesting, reminds me of a computer game, I could imagine this playing in the background of a platformer. I used to have a game that played music like this called battletoads. Very good and interesting music. Nice wah use in the middle.

The part at 3 minutes is very good as well. I like the recurring theme with the wah alot. There are also tones in here that are very reminiscent of a game called blast corps on the n64, very familiar. Good stuff

F8ck Biu, you really know how to make use of whack-ass tones. I LOVE it! Great tone too :) I like the bit at 38 seconds... it's exciting yet relaxing too.

At about 1:15, this short riff, you get a really cool VH vibe thing goin, IMO.

This is much better than the Beef and Oranges track, which is a surprise, I couldn't find many ways that track could be improved at all.

2:42 now, shredding tone is tiny bit thin but thats half the appeal! Killer playing, man.

3:18 now, those few palm muted notes give it that awesome sound.

3:30 now, repeated riff - probably my favourite riff of the track atm.

4:23 now, there's that VH vibe again :)

5:04 now, insane tapping. Using fingers or pick?

You are one hell of a composer Biu... crazy!

Well bloddy done, awesome, awesome, plain awesome.

Gavantia, I'm a big fan of Battletoads!

Rid, I'm not familiar of who that is. Is there any site where I can hear clips?

Rainmaker, I think all the VH-sounding licks was the result of me getting VH: I, II, Fair Warning, Women and Children First, and 1984. I love DLR-era VH :) And yeah, that was pick-tapping. Just a cool trick I picked up when I was going through my "Joe Satriani-is-god" stage. Hehe, composer? I just hear a lot of noises in my head and put them down on guitar :)

Thanks to everybody for listening, I love feedback!

And look for his latest soloalbum The Road less travelled....especially a tune called Print this...hehe
Whoa! Crazy stuff. I really liked his rendition of "La Bamba". "Evil Shower" is pretty awesome too! Very weird :)

Now THAT is a complement! It shows that you have become the music hence people's ability to identify with it.

Thanks, t4d! You were always one of my favorite older dudes, but now you are 10x cooler!

Yahoo! I have a SOUND! Oh yeah, Rainmaker, those intro chords where the drums come in are tap-harmonics, yet ANOTHER EVH trick :)

+1
You create great new sounds and I never listened something like that before. It ain´t easy to create things. :cool3:

Reminds me of Satch, Eklundh and Sahara Hotnights. I loved it.
 
Re: Part 2: Boss GT-6 Demo! "500 Casinos"

Damn Biu! And this is only part 2! :arms: What else do you have in store for us?

The new Beef & Oranges sounds super! Sweet Tone! Still think the cleans are a bit funky though. :wall:

Btw. I got your Ken stage song on my cell phone as ring tone :)
 
Re: Part 2: Boss GT-6 Demo! "500 Casinos"

StrangeSound, very cool that you can hear the Sahara Hotnights influence in my playing; mission complete! :) Thanks for listening to...well, pretty much every single tune I put out! You're a true tonebro.

Nightburst, glad to hear you like the improvements! I really don't know what's coming next. I didn't know that I would come up with "500 Casinos" until I fired up my digital recorder yesterday :saeek: :saeek: :saeek: These things just come spontaneously, so we'll just wait and see what happens ;)
I'm honored that my "Ken Theme" is your ringtone! Biu is with you everywhere :laugh2: :)

Hmmm, my Soundclick page must be down. I'll let you know once it's fixed.
 
Re: Part 2: Boss GT-6 Demo! "500 Casinos"

Yeah I got that message too, but I went and streamed it and it worked.

This sounds great man, you're playing with much more conviction than when you used to post stuff ages ago, and the hooks you're writing are catchy as f#ck! You can deffinatley hear a computer game influence in some of the stuff which is also really cool.
 
Re: Part 2: Boss GT-6 Demo! "500 Casinos"

Cccccccrazy, you're just killing me. You keep this up and the world will be beating a path to your door.
 
Re: Part 2: Boss GT-6 Demo! "500 Casinos"

Ok, should work now. Soundclick decided to change the MP3 URLs on me without notice :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Big-time thanks, nuntius and Wattage! Glad to hear you dug them :) I'm kind of nervous about what my guitar teacher's reaction to it will be :yell: He's hard to please :smack:
 
Re: Part 2: Boss GT-6 Demo! "500 Casinos"

If getting a guitar teacher gets you this good Biu, I'm getting one! :)

Of course, one must take into account ones natural ability and all that. You certainly have a technical grasp and a very precise musical influence - both of which are two elements that are rarely found in a person of your age.

But I'm just repeating what everyone else has said. I'm soon to check out the other clips, but I gtg now.
