Rocking it old school...

This weekend i decided to re-do the first acoustic misfits cover i ever did(hybrid moments) using my laptop. i only used the built in mic on my laptop. some screw ups and off notes in the vocals, but overall i'm pretty impressed with the sound quality. i also put up a new acoustic version of we bite that is partially finished(some notes need fixing and some vocals will be added). never has such a hardcore song sounded so wussy. please let me know what you guys think...

I fucking love it! hahaha

Not bad dude.

damn pegwarmers bein down and my lack of a rockin out smiley!

good sheet, mang.

thanks for the kind words, all

should be damn fucking hilarious to mellow out a Deicide song...

ha...never really listened to them too much. it's fun playing stuff like this acoustic, though. stuff that probably never SHOULD be played acoustic can actually sound pretty rad...almost like they're completely different songs

you people know you miss these...

rock out like you shouldn't.

\m/

any requests for ones to re-do? i want to do a few more of these better quality ones and put them together for an EP...

a bump to remind peeker to listen if he hasn't...anyone else? Baimun? Porthos? TCM needs to check these out when he's around, too...

I did, this morn...sorry, I forgot to tell ya.
I dig it.
I thnk a cover of Mommy...(really slow) would kick ass.
Bm is my fave key...

I don't know the originals but seriously think "we bite" totally rocks
Really well done and the sound is pretty damn good (for both songs I downloaded).

I like Hybrid Moment but since you do a sissy accoustic version of it [img]wink.gif[/img] I would change the Eb chords for an A choard all the way through the song like you do at the end

PS-I need to say it again, the sound is pretty good

Stream of conscious typing while listening....

...intro vocals to "Hybrid moments" made me think it would have a violent femmes sound... second voice comes in and surprises me. I really like this one. One of the best I've heard you do.... raw, with energy without sounding posed. Very real.

We bite comes in and I'm smiling.... the juxtapositon of the horror lyrics with the "la la" vocals... cracking me up.

I'm going back up and clicking "Angela"... didn't notice it the first time. I'd suggest recording the guitar and vocals separately if possible... allows the vocals to move a bit more freely from the strumming. An inexpensive compressor will keep the mic from maxing out on the louder parts and clipping. Good open tone on the guitar. Second mic?

Angela is a bit too "folkey" for my tastes... so I'm going back to Hybrid to listen again. I like the vocals, guitar, and production best on that song. Good job. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I think what I liked the most about we bite is the contrast between style and lyrics and I don't know any band or artist doing that. That might be an avenue you could ride alone

This one's for the ladies....

Rape me.....
Rape me, my frieeend...
Yeah... Rape me....

Peeker,
thanks! never tried that one acoustic before but i have been considering it. could be damn funny.

Porthos,
thanks for the kind words. i could try messing with hybrid moments a bit but it's one of my favorite misfits songs and i didn't want to screw with it...heh

baimun,
as far as angela goes, that's a very old recording using a different process. i want to go back and re-record some of my originals such as that one with the process i'm using now. pretty happy with how the misfits onse came out...still have to add some things to we bite(more vocals, fix guitar parts)

toymank,
oh so helpful as always : P

I'd love to hear a sensitive, accoustic version of "Closer". [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

You like readheads? Top Models? Hard rockin babes? Danzig?
Here's Top model Karen Elson and rocker Melissa Auf der Maur doing an accustic cover of Danzig's DEVIL'S PLAYTHING.
(check that page, I wanted to post the link but there is a problem with the html tag of the song. But it works from the site)
