For All You Metal Heads...My Cousin Blake's First Music Video. What Do Y'all Think?

is he possessed by the devil?

lol. Ok

first off, you should tell your cousin that that type of metal is played out, and lightweight.

run of the mill

dime a dozen

let's not forget to mention that that guitar swing move his buddy does can sometimes kill

You want the good or the bad?

Good:

Video and sound production were very professional looking. Whoever mixed it did a damned good job.

The drummer is really good at complex rythyms, and the guitar player can hold his rhythm.

Lyrics were OK, and the vocalist was better than average.

Bad:

Not very technical, but good, solid riffs. I imagine that's what the band is driving at. "Good" guitar players are a dime a dozen. "Great" guitar players are rare. Needs more key changes.

The bass gets muddled a bit, needs to punch through the mix a bit more.

Basically, they're pretty good for people who like that kind of music. I can't really tell you which band they sound like, but they don't sound very original to me.

Just so you know where I'm coming from, this is the kind of music I listen to every day:

Allman Brothers Band
John Scofield/Pat Metheny
Bach's English Suites/Glenn Gould
Metallica ...And Justice For All
Slayer - Reign in Blood, Seasons in the Abyss
Samhain/Misfits - everything
Miles Davis - Bitches Brew, On the Corner
Butthole Surfers - Electriclarryland, Independent Worm Saloon
Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsies, Are You Experienced
Phish/Grateful Dead - pretty much everything

^ Pretty sound advice/opinion.

Good stuff. Thank u. :)

Ouch! Damn

Damn that's pretty kick ass!

I'm not a 'metal head' but good musicians for sure.

I'm into metal but I'll skip this. No offense. I'm sure there are many people that like this.

No offense taken. :)

Thanks

Not a metal person but a musician. Keep encouraging them. They have the capacity to improve a lot. Gonna take some work, but the potential is there.

Thanks friend.

He'll fit right in.

It's not bad....just not a very original sound - that being said I did enjoy.

Thanks for sharing!

Very nice!! Rock on..!

cool

Tell him to try College !!

Badass! \m/

i expected super lame, super dumb.

Not gonna lie, it wasnt too bad. Much like linkin park

Yeah, you're welcome!

I just wanted to add, as long as they're enjoying themselves, there's no reason to stop performing, ever. I was in several bands, and it can be a blast. They can go touring and get to see some cool places, drink a shitload of free drinks, meet hot women, you get paid a bit, and so on. Even if they don't get signed by a decent label (it's exceedingly rare,) they can make a lot of connections in the music business, and could end up working for the rest of their lives around something they love and actually enjoy doing. Talent is only 10 per cent of success. the other 90 is hard-ass work.

I was looking at their YT page, and it looks like a lot of people like them. They may put on a hell of a show, and that will always bring the crowds in. They had over 2000 views, which is not insignificant for a largely unknown band. I wish them the best in their musical endeavors.

FUCKEN EH!!!!!...Will watch for these guys...

I like it!

Not my kind of metal but 5* for them doing what they do!

No he shows what it looks like...if it walks like a duck...talks like a duck...its a duck
