Just reviewed Arachnid Assassin, and added to my demented and tormented song playlist. Not surprised I Despised and Loved it. I am a fan of Signal 30.

You can't stay the same. If you're a musician and a singer, you have to change, that's the way it works.

Just cause he's Van Morrison doesn't mean he aint full of shit like the rest of us. I wish artists would stick to making comments about themselves as opposed to taking their views and applying them to everyone. R Kilner

I happen to agree that every artist evolves over time and often with the trends... We discover new things and find ways to incorporate them into our perception of art and self expression.

Anyone that tells you you've failed in self expression obviously is walking a pretty self centered path... and has completely missed the point of the entire experiment we're all a part of.

Just saying...

sorry Gordon. the version of sacred river which was posted last night needed some finishing touches. i posted the final final final version. added mid and high to the bass to bring it out, upped the vocal, added some other leads and subtracted some. enjoy!

This one sounds the same as the other new songs. Ive found the sound. Now I can start cranking them out. Give me some pointers on production cause Im racking my brain here. It doesn't have to be perfect; only good enough. I could always use some advice from those who's music sounds better than mine.

Another version of Sacred Rivers. Better mix, sharper guitars, more leads, backing vocals and better dynamics.

Thanks AK, As a title it doesn't give you any clue. "Where's Via" What the hell's that mean? But once you know the story, there could be no other. So glad you enjoyed it.... thank you kenney

thanks for the review. Yeah, I would rate this song with the same points.

Thank you Gordon. I was just thinking, you probably don't wince as much as you used to listening to my guitar playing and some of the oops notes I hit. Anyway, I figure you know what the note I was really intending on was supposed to be.

you're not that far off! there are quite a few big acts that they would be awesome finished tracks. jimmy page and willie nelson to name a couple off the top of my head. i think to myself if kenney took a little time practicing this track he would nail it! sometimes creating is much more instant gratification than
practicing! you have the ear, knowledge and skills! now you need the disipline.

Jimmy Page was a great example. Some of the best moments come by accident. Some of the best studio musicians will tell you that their first track is best. It has energy and vitality and passion. Ive fallen into the trap of re-recording over and over to get it right; only to find out that the track was lifeless. Let the mistakes stay as long as the track has energy.

i agree! if you over polish it loses the life. like all of the def leppard albums after high and dry. over produced!

Hey thanks. Not for just the good review but also for the advice. My tech skills are low and I am not up to date. I need some folks to learn and bounce ideas off of.

I want to simplify the sound without doubling guitars and panning way left and right. in this I've got bass left30 and guitars right30 vocals and drums up the middle. Question is how do i record a 3 piece rock band setup?

Just realized that I never responded to you. Sorry. To answer your question: It depends how serious you are about your product. Personally, I am not an experienced producer by any means. If I have an original tune that I really like and want to keep then I schedule studio time and let the professionals handle it. This way I can focus on what I do best as a musician. We arrive, set up our equipment, play/record and then we are done. Mixing is an art in itself and one I do not possess.



Hi Dave, On your review of Her Hearts Been Fooled Again you wrote" Nice melody, I wish this song had lyrics" Got any you wanna share... kenney

you guys ever really listen to the lyrics that are used on the most popular rock songs out there? Most don't make sense or follow a story or even a patten. My advise is just throw out the lyrics and see what happens. 175 rhymes with alive, strive contrive, dive. there you go. "DONT TO THE 175, ITS A DIV ITS A DIVE. Just have some fun dude. BE STUPID AND HAVE SOME FUN.

one of my songs go as follows. KILL FOR THE KING BUT LETS NEVER REGRET. FUCK FOR PEACE BUT LETS NEVER FORGET. THE ROAD TO FREEDOM IS A BOX OF GRENADES. KILL FOR THE KING AND LETS ALL GO GET LAID. What? Are you kidding me? Worst lyrics of all time or so bad they are great? Who cares. Its art. Anything goes........

took a second listen. its a very nice song. production, playing and lyrics are great. i still stand by what i said about this song needing a brief different direction; middle eight whatever. after your second verse "Hit the road", it needs a key change. this will set the song up for the return to your chorus. my overall impression is that the song is incomplete and needs these things to turn a very nice song into a very good one.
