shootingstar Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) The OccupantThis song means much to me because it was one of the first songs I wrote.. But does ot sound dated?Please, leave some comment on youtube;) Critics is welcome but if u´re going to be harsh, be that to our other songs as well(same U-tube user)! And yes, I wrote some of them too so this isn´t my ego speaking:P Edited February 21, 2008 by shootingstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyMonk Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) It reminded me of the Crue, but with better lyrics and a better voice.But after listening to the whole song I disagree with myself, pretty good song I think, I reckon it'd do better than your "hit" honestly.

I like that song, but some in my band don´t. They say they don´t "beleve" in that cind of music. And thats a big problem we have right now.. We can´t really agree what songs we should play. And beleve me, we have plenty of them and I want to play them all but.. We have not even recorded what I think could be our HIT;) Edited February 21, 2008 by shootingstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect_crime49 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) I like most of your songs mainly because of the voice and the guitar solos are always are enjoyable. Edited February 21, 2008 by Perfect_crime49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 (edited) To me it does sound kind of dated. But I probably listen to stuff most of this forum hates so whatever Edited February 22, 2008 by kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin's Creed Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 The intro , the distortion on the intro is just wrong , have it be clean or slightly distroted , and yes it does sound quite dated , but with the right producer , mixer and distortion , u can achieve a modern sound .Whats your band's situation? have you gone to labels? , have you hired a manager to pen a contract with a label? an agent?

No, nothing of that. I have the feeling that swedish labels are extremly mainstream. They want a good looking vocalist, nothing more. Not the whole package as we offer.. But we are open for suggestions. Want some gigs, and that could be all over the world. If someone would offer us a gig in australia(the other side of earth from here), we would go there just as long as we would afford the trip:)I think we should try to go to other labels outside our country.. Want to be our manager btw?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demon Wolf Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 It's a great song, Shootingstar. The guitar work is great and I love the main riff. The singer does a good job, even though his voice is a bit uncharacteristic, if you get my point.I'm gonna have a listen to your other songs.

There is another version where the song/voice sound better. I´m not really pleased with how my voice sound on that one either. The depth is gone and it sound flat sort of.. On that version the vocals isn´t mixed. No EQ, nothing. Just some reverb..when u listen to our other songs u´ll see that the character is maby better, but at least different;)glad you liked the main riff!

At least in that song, I'll hold my judgement til I've heard the other songs.But hey, you're from Sweden? Fint land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There´s a ballad that is called False Things which Im very pleased with and fits my voice well.. We considered to upload it on youtube but some words were fucked up so.. For example I sing "they" insted of "them" and so on.. So if you have english as mother tounge it must sound terrible We will re-record itSverige kan vara nice ibland(för de mesta!)
