Kind of a showbiz rule...you should get your music out there, but never ask anyone what they think...if they like it, they'll tell you...unless you are asking folks to just tell you how awesome it is, which is pointless.

Not sure why you would want feedback on a band that no longer exists, but.

It's terrible, bro...good recording...takes a full minute to get to anything of interest and once you get there...same ol' same ol' Puddle of Creed Evanickleback.

Sorry...really shouldn't ask

It was ok, the snare got annoying and the repetitiveness of the guitar parts. I didn't really pay attention to the video of the girls but the band looked like it had lots of energy.

Its all good. I originally had this in the wrong forum and I think once it got here it was old and down the line already.

Im asking about the video because its the only video we did. And it never went anywhere, never got promoted, and shortly after we shot it we all split. Only our close friends of the band ever saw it but you can NOT always trust a friend to give it to you straight. It got put on MS then got moved and noone could find it. It got found last week on MS from a friend, So I turned to my TB'ers for some straight criticism. I personally give the song a 6 out of 10, as for the video it is low budget so it is what it is. I guess I just wanted some simple feedback on something that no longer exists to you or others, but I still hold our music close to my chest. This is why I wanted some comments. Who cares if the band if over, what does it matter. I'd just like to see what others think about it. Whats the big deal.

And by the way Mark since I'm quoting you again, I'll always ask what people think of my music... regardless of what Im playing. I like to know what people think. Is that wrong? Ive toured clear up to NYC from Houston, and never heard of your "rule about showbiz". As far as people telling me how awesome it is, you said it, not me. Im asking for feedback plain and simple. I'd suggest you check your own motive before you try and check mine.

I dug it... I dont know why but it reminded me of a Slipknot song, Snuff. Not really sure why.

You know back in the day I use to hate it when people would say.. your band sounds like this band or that band. In reality everyone is influenced by a certain sound or band or whatever. Even those who say they "have their own sound", can still be identified with another artist. Thanks for your comment.

Anyway thanks for the feedback everyone. Even BigOldHarry had something to say. Thanks brother.

Yeah, you shouldnt push for comments but that is no reason for people to be rude. I think is was well done, good powerful rock song. Had a similiar situation with a group, we didnt get far enough to get signed but the makings were all there before the egos destroyed it all.

Ok man...I REALLY failed to get my point across, and I am very sorry for any hurt feelings or rudeness...I actually think the recording is really good...the rudeness was to illustrate what you could be setting yourself up for by posting this in such a way. Sorry for seeming like such a jerk.

I still believe it's of no value to ask anyone what they think...do you like it? If so, someone else will too...if they do they will say so, and if they don't, they will ignore it...I dunno... just my opinion, but the Stones don't send out stuff and ask what you think...they put out what they like in the hopes that someone else will feel the same way...

Again, sorry for the rude behavior...I was attempting to make a point and clearly didn't make that point too well!
