I think they just need to tweak it a little. I don't know what you guys are hearing but this sounds EXACTLY like the CD!!! The timing is perfect...the notes clean....and that singer is really putting his soul into. And the solo brought a tear to my eye.
OK the whole song brought a tear to my eye...caused my ears to bleed...and darn near jump-started a vomit!! This is why you don't drink at practice....assuming these guys actually DID practice. I'm not seeing world-wide tours or Rolling Stone photo shoots anytime in the near future. This is an EPIC disaster!!!
That was soooooo absolutely amazing that I had to listen to it again to be sure I was hearing, what I thought I just heard. One thing I'm sure you all missed is there is some talent here. How many of you can play 4/4, 5/4, and 7/8 timing? And im not just talking in the same song.....I'm talking at the same time?! There's Rush......there's Dream Theater.....and then there's these guys. The Evolution of music right before our very eyes. They should have a battle of the bands between Hick Floyd and the Final Countdown guys. And when the show is over donate the proceeds....and their instruments....to the homeless. Felix's apprentice has a post asking about "developing your ear". I highly suggest you email these guys and ask how they do it. Youtube is never short on entertainment.
Sstuckey has amazing insights...
Gotta appreciate genius sarcasm.
Actually, the only thing that bothered me about the whole thing was the fact that the guitar player is standing right out front there with the tuner still clamped to his headstock. Why did I never think of that?? I knew I was always missing something with my stage presence...like I needed the right accessory.
Great that it dawns on me now after I've retired........
