I really love how much you challange yourself with the stuff that you are doing. Great job!

Thanks for the comments everyone. SOAD is one of my favorite bands and I was just hoping I didn't embarrass myself in trying to do one of their songs. But that IS the challenge right?

Geir,
Thanks a lot G! That means a lot coming from you. You always seem to put so much into your stuff, you never half-ass anything, as far as I can tell... I like that ;)

Andrewh,
Dude! I can't wait to hear what you do! I loved your Muse post! I'm sure it'll be bad ass!

Mark,
I am definitely learning that I have MUCH to learn regarding mixing. That seems to be my biggest problem when it comes to recording.

To those who have never heard this song before...  ??? ??? ??? ???    :P

I'm running out of ideas for the fest.  :(

Saijinn, trust me, you did not embarrass yourself. ;)

Got to admit I don't know the original either ???

But I like this song a lot. ;D ;D 

The guitars are very well played, balanced, and recorded.  Once I was able to focus on the backing vocals the whole thing came together in a great, great way.  Very cool song.
Let it be known, there is a fountain, that was not made, by the hands of men.

Quote from: Maverick31 on February 11, 2010, 11:00:10 AMWOW! Unplugged SOAD!?! Yes, you're correct about Serj Tankian's vocals being impossible to copy... this is true, much like Layne Staley, just too unique.

Anyways, you did a hell of a job!

yup.

SOAD one of my guilty pleasures too, esp the Toxicity album.  Your version makes me giggle it's so brilliant.  In a good way.  Deadpan.

Here's a brilliant Lego video of Bounce.

Do more System of a Down covers.  It's your destiny, your calling.

Thanks for the comments guys! I haven't had any time to do anything in awhile... get home way too late nowadays. Replaced my Ovation acoustic with a Taylor, hoping one day to get some time to get back to recording.

Thanks again ;)
