DR dropped by to share vids

well, OK, OP is playing out, having a good time. OK. Go for it.

Constructive criticism:

Virtually no energy output musically. No, you do not have to jump up and down to fake it. Music played with energy comes off energetic. No sign of that here. Very zzzzzz.

Learn the basslines properly. You have probably been playing longer than your playing sounds like. So use your skills and move it up a notch.

Chicks need to really practice and understand harmony, and project.

Lets leave it at that. Cuz right now, your stuff is very ho-hum, but I am presuming the talent is there to move it up a notch. So go for it.

As to the "bite me" phrase---well, you bit yourself on this one.

Couldn't make it through a whole clip, honestly.

After all the egotistic, condescending comments and boasting, I hope this is a joke.

I would rather stay home and drink myself to sleep than go to a bar and witness that set. Might come off as a tad harsh, but you COMPLETELY deserve such a response.

wow-----I am seeing a consensus that says your band sucks (or "bites" if you prefer).
Just an observation.
Phew!
Well........

I don't think the band sucks. I've seen plenty worse cover bands. Lead singer is kinda cute too. It's only sucking because of DRs attitude again. Had it been someone else posting and they said, "Hey, I'd like your thoughts on this," or something like that, it would have gotten a small handful of nice and respectful responses.

Bite me is fuel for just what it's getting though. Ohhhhhhh.... Deluxe... I have faith you can somehow redeem yourself. Not sure how, maybe a lengthy well thought out humble apology of some sort? Stuff's not bad, it's just not anything to brag about. Especially on a forum like this.

The band is passable for a weekend warrior act, but just that: passable...

Sloppy, pitchy, and frankly amateurish beyond requiring a cover charge at times. But, that being said, there are some nice moments, and plenty of GREAT attitude and energy.

Hack bands can be a great deal of fun, but don't for a split second think you have one up on any band.

Well, I guess all of us can benefit from constructive criticism. :D

EDIT I guess we should all put our own bands up for perusal here, just so the OP has a fair chance to respond with his own views on what we're doing. Criticism works both ways, after all. I'll be brave, here's mine...
