Old Joad Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) Some kids in the neighborhood put together a metal/grunge band and asked me to write them some tunes. I wrote two for them and this is the 1st one. I called some of my old friends to help me jam it out so I could hear what it sounded like, we recorded it on a 1/4 reel to reel. very fast set up, a few practice runs, a few 🍺🍺🍺's and then we recorded it. needless to say it's a bit sloppy, but it was great to get my mojo working🤘 I'll post the 2nd one after we record it next week.

OutrageProductions Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Pretty good rendition... but the guitars are too much IN tune to really qualify as 'Grunge'. LOL! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for listening, It's really more of a rockin blues and that's why the guitars are in tune🤘 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSband Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 It's a pretty good basic rocker, might be worth doing a proper production on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Walsh Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I love the sound of tape! Love the song, great playing! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Sounds really good. Would be cool to hear the neighborhood kids' version. Speaking of which, the kids in my neighborhood have never asked me to write a tune for them. Maybe they've heard my stuff. -Bjorn 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add psychedelics to the mix, detune and speed it up some. Then it will be Grungey! 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starship Krupa Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Damn, that's some tight playing. Your drummer is solid! What is your instrument in this lineup? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Cool song. I like how "real" it sounds - like an actual performance, not something that's put together from the ground up bit by bit. Nice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every now and then I jam on acoustic guitars with the drummers father. so that's how it came about. Thanks for the kind words.

What is your instrument in this lineup? It's official, three 🍺's makes a drummer solid👍🏼 I'm playing a Gibson Les Paul Standard into a TS-9 and a then into a Marshall JCM 900 4x12. The lead is a Fender Deluxe into an old Peavey 2x10s dimed out, pure speakers. Thank you so much for listening.

Makke Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Cool! Nice old time guitar rock song. Sounds great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I was to lazy to go get my headphones so on an iPhone speaker the mix and sound is awesome. It makes me miss the days in the 90’s when I had the studio and real drums and we did a lot of this. We had those little Marshall Valvestates and a huge Laney. It was a music store as well so lots of guitars on hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grem Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Good song with a great beat and feel!! Excellent recording. Drummer is solid and has great push/pull going on. That's hard to do. It has to come naturally! And he does it well. Guitars sounded great, as did the bass. Excellent lead sound. Sounds really good. What kind of PV? PV speakers too? Your rhythm is good and chunky. Vocals out front, could hear and understand all the words!! IF I was to offer a suggestion, the kick needs some definition. At the very least more volume in the upper, to hear that "thap". What kind of mics? into what kind of mixer? into any comps? LOL!!! Excellent job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
