well the lead guitar is too loud, (he also doesnt sustain his notes very well) the drums sound like mud, the singer is faint and basically the sound quality is pretty poor

im kinda confused what was going on with the part which was meant to be the big solo too... looks like your lead guitarist grabs the neck and strums as fast as he can ....

+1 on fixing the mix, sound checks are important.

Also, for the first minute and periodically throughout the rest of the song the camera stayed constantly on the faces of everyone, which makes for a overly dramatic mood, and not very enjoyable viewing experience.

It's a good start though, keep it up.
