the drums and bass were recorded in a studio along with the guitars but the guitars sound was horrible so i decided to record the guitars over and mix everything myself.
unfortunatly the vocals arent too brilliant either, they were a first take vocals as our recording time ran out. anyways, any feedback is good feedback so dont hold back  Lead Guitar + Keyboards - Chris (me) Rythm Guitar - Matty Armstrong Drums - Ste Lolachi Bass - Cal Young our old recordings (from the studio) are available at www.myspace.com/musicparadox -------------------- Guitars: Epiphone Les Paul Standard w/ Dual EMG 81 Pickups.

thanks for the advice
i agree that its waaaay too long and as for the vocals, i turned them down due to them being a first draft, they are getting re-recorded soon so once their done i will turn them up

Maybe you should double or triple the vocals track to get it more outstanding, stronger.
I like the song but as said already, it's too long. I think it would improve if there's a metal mayhem at 3:30 that raise until the end. -------------------- My bands homepage

lol, metal mayhem.
thing is, when we play this song live alot of the people sing along or get up and dance/mosh/whatever for the entire song and throughout the song there are very few people that sit down, infact theres more people get up usually... i dunno why, but it seems that people like the length of the song live, yet when recorded it doesnt have the same effect. maybe cutting the recorded version down while playing the full length version is a good way to go about it. thanks for the helpful comments guy's -------------------- Guitars: Epiphone Les Paul Standard w/ Dual EMG 81 Pickups.

Your signature song that has a 10 minute solo that everyone loves in your live set might suit a much shorter treatment in the studio, really regard them as different songs ... -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

The verse has a bit of "All Along The Watchtower" Feel to it, But I think it's a great song, catchy, and yeah I agree with andrew this should only be long live.
