Don't Look Back In Anger - Oasis Cover

[Mike_S]

Not feeling any inspiration these days for anything original, but enjoyed giving this one a go...

A live take unedited... vocals and guitar done together, so pleased with that.
I added a second take I did of the guitar in the other speaker to thicken the sound.

done to a very basic beat in GarageBand which I then went back and edited, adding fills etc.

And live Bass... pleased with that too as that's probably only my third go at putting a real bass track down. Definitely more "life" than just the midi bass.

Congrats Mike...this is superb!  I think its cool that you played and sang at the same time.  I know doing it alot (more live for me than in recording, but some recording too) has made me better at using the guitar as a better compliment to the singing, and in helping control dynamics...It's incredible on this track Mike because the music sounds almost nothing like the normal Mike S sound.  Love your bass here as well.. that guitar(s) sound gritty, raw, hungry... like some of the greats do... just a great sound Mike.  Some of it too is the way you play that thing, darned good rockin Mike... really really good...
grind on!

I always enjoy an Oasis song and you've done a great job on this.. sounds like a live performance but in your own style.

I never really got Oasis (I'm making lots of friends here with this revelation ) and i never really cared of the Foo Fighters(* either (Take it easy Grohl!). BUT... This is good. This i like. I know the song(s) of course, but the way you're performing it brings it on an another plane of existence.
It's more organic. Less pushy. In lack of better terms.

I do like Joy Division! Did i get any of them friends back? Sean Connery? Stone Roses? (At least one song). Helloo!

(* This has nothing to do with Oasis, but i didn't want our American friends to feel neglegted

I kinda dreaded playing this one; I've heard the song done by a fair share of cover bands and people sat in streets in my time that I'm pretty jaded on the track itself to the point of being a bit sick of it. Luckily I didn't regret it - great live take, I like the changes to the vocal delivery. I agree with Zoltan's description of more organic. Great work

I'm with you on both counts, Mr Z, particularly the second one.

When I first started playing I would play and sing never thought about it until I started playing with others and nobody could follow me because I was doing time changes with vocals knew nothing about timing lol anyway this track is great and it has the live feel raw guitar and great vocals

Great job - I appreciate the unique spin you put on this.  Very impressive that you did this in one take playing and singing - I've been working on doing that as my normal process is doing lots of edits. It is very hard for me to sing/play a song all the way through without messing up - but it is a very worthy goal, to really get inside the skin of a song and master it, as you've done here!
