view my band and tell me what you think

[carpfishy]

Hey,

Im just coming back to the forum, lot of you don't know me, but I have been here before. School and work has kept me from coming on here.

anyways check out my band page and tell me what you guys think of our stuff, we are looking forward to any comments (bad, or good) you may have.
The quality isn't great, but its the best we could do. We were using a free recording program (audacity), recorded through a Samson CO1U USB studio condenser mic. The mic was centered in the room and we did it all on one take with a bit of mastering for the final product (but not much).

Now we have a mixer and better recording software, along with better songs that might take a month or two to record. We are just interested in what everybody thinks, either be it good or bad, we just need some feedback. Of what we can change in our songs, what we can add, and what other people would like to hear. thanks, we appreciate it.

Rockn' Roll baby!Funny stuff!
Yeah i will comment better when you record it better!The vocals need more control ,the drumms are not well put in the context ,and the leads are allways the same ol pentatonic in the same octave!But those can be corrected easely ,so we will see what happens in your next recording.BTW ,never hit the last cymbal without a snare or bassdrum:chairfall

thanks much appreciated. Our drummer is doing more practice, but will see how he turns out on our newer stuff. Im trying new stuff for lead but I will leave that more to our lead guitarist and me just doing simple pentatonic figures. I guess we'll see what happens in the future. Thanks again.

NP man.The drummer is not bad!The timing fitts well.He just use fill-ins not in the right place ,and the overall "punch" fails ,since the instruments don't push and release in the same time !I am looking forward to hear new stuff!
Cheers!

Re: view my band and tell me what you think

oh one more thing. How do I go in around about way to tell my drummer he needs to fix some things on his beats and fills without being a d!ck? He basically does things his way and becomes irate if we tell him to try something different. Thanks.
