GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ Mr Badass

Posted by: Ben Higgins Nov 17 2013, 09:27 PM

Hey comrades... I present to you a new track. Taking a break from being inspired by Greek Mythology I've gone more hard rock this time ! Was great fun digging out those bluesy double stop bends ! As usual, Andrew's drumming just slays me !

Love the drums groove that starts around 2:00 smile.gif

Thanks... it was really great to slam some bluesy stuff on the neck pickup for a change - it's very addictive !

Thank you.. I don't think production is my strong point so it's great to hear that - must have done something right this time smile.gif

Haha Ben, great sound. Regarding a suite are you turning into Gitarerro slowly? He also made his fame by wearing a suite in his videos tongue.gif

Damn it Ben, why do you have to write such epic music ? I need to stop listening to this and do other things tongue.gif

Posted by: gregc1 Nov 18 2013, 09:05 PM

Love it Ben, your bluesy side is top notch man.

Maybe we should be expecting Ben's Blues II in the future? cool.gif

Awesome Ben smile.gif

Love the hooks in this song! Totally rocks!

This was the first track I listened to today, what a great way to start the day.

After reading the other comments on this thread, I agree about the production of the video it's really professional looking, it's simple and looks classy (the suit helps in that respect), I think the lighting must have been just right.

The track itself after a second listen has that great contrast of melody lines and bluesy riffs, they help each other stand out.

I think this track will get you more youtube followers and hits (if there is justice in this world for good hard rockin' music)

This sounds really great!!! I like it a lot!!! smile.gif

Wow, thanks for all the great comments ! I'm genuinely surprised at how much enthusiasm this track has received smile.gif
