hey guys, my band mate and i are workin on some dmb covers... yeah we are new to the whole covering business (well i am heh), but hey let me know what you think... after listening to this i realized the soloing needs to be calmed down QUITE a bit, but other then that any useful criticism would be appreciated. (this was also done on one track, we did it "live" so sorry about the level errors)

Very well done. Both guitars sound pretty good, but as you said the solos need to be calmed down a bit. The only part I would suggest is in the chorus, just have more chords than individual notes. As for singing, it's a very personal thing for many people, including me. I thought it was quite nice, definitely in key. I would just recommend keeping your lungs full of air at all times. Notes would be more "fuller" and easier to transition. The notes seem to sound from the throat rather than the gut. Awesome cover, keep it up

guitars sound good. they mix well together. so i can't complain about that aspect, however i can't stand the singing, it just is really getting on my nerves, i don't know why.

I will go with madtadder on this one , the guitars sounds very neat , but the vocals is somehow falling out of it , uhmm i can't explain it , its in key and everything , but ..... arghhhhh don't mind me

it's definitely understandable that the lyrics can get on your nerves, mark is working on his voice, right now he's not able to sing from his stomach and im not sure why... however it's a problem we both recognize... sooo we'll see how it goes... check out the plush cover i think the vocals are better there.

yeah i loved the music...but the singer sounded like he was tryin a lil too hard or sumthin, kinda whining maybe? but u already know this, and u heard my voice on #41 already, and how shitty that was, so ill shutup ...but i dint really have a problem with the second guitar, im always up for some hot soloing, i liked it....keep it up, peace man

i heard the same thing. After a while the voice got better.
