MHS Talent Show 2008 - "Fences"

[nevershoutnever423]

That microphone sucked! I could only hear the singer when the drummer wasn't playing and I could barely hear the guitars at all! You're right, your school's sound system is horrible! I think the drummer went a little overboard. The singer needs more energy and confidence. It will give the band more energy. With only a few days to practice that song together, you guys sounded really good! =D

[olimanrules]

When I could hear you, you weren't THAT bad.

[gabopoldo]

haha that drummer is the next zac farro ;)

[caniac2613]

thats actually one of the greatest recoveries ive seen by a drummer...haha

[marla13ify]

sing louder and this would sound awesome! they had your muc down too low

[GirlDrummerBeat]

WAT! The drummer is sick!!

[linkofdoom]

the drummer is really good but make sure if you do that many fills you keep them in time

[x8dddx]

@linkofdoom Are you counting correctly? They are in time.

[Citydogz45]

I LOVE YOU GUYS

[grace15ification]

[sovlai]

To the drummer, don't play that loud, and play bit less fills! Else good!

[Mysteryymayb123]

U guyzz rock =]

Ya know y???

Cuzz i saidd soo XDD

Soo KEepp playing and singing!!!!

[Halaylee14]

you can only hear the drums..

[x8dddx]

Okay, as posted a ton of times, no one had any high watt amp and the Pa system for the singer was terrible, the drums weren't as loud as the sound, it's just loud my comparison.

[tmrex001]

it's actually really good. just that we can't really hear the singing and guitars. u guys should make a cover of it again with higher vocals

[sikey300]

wesome he the singer was on point and the guitarst was cool i loved it

[Mrose1211]

i don't know, i think the drummer over did it a little with all the fills, it took away from the song a bit.

[x8dddx]

Eh...Zach's drumming is lame on that track.

[Mrose1211]

good drummer though, just sometimes it's best to keep it simple.

[sikey300]

no it wasnt it was awesome like a explosion he was great

[Killcupidsaaki17]

That drummer @_@

Wowee... Wish we had a drummer llike that at our school. He's awesome!

[vampire4evz]

v. good! the drummers excellent! x

[softballstar9999999]

drums r beastttt!

[bockman609]

The drummers killer. The guitarist needs to tune a bit but other than that, its a great cover. :)

[FullSolo]

drums are killer

[dba]

drummer rocks it out!

No one meshes.

If you want to be a band, get some chemistry. and the singer def. needs more energy. It'll give the rest of the band more energy.

[x8dddx]

Yeah, I hear where you're coming from.

I definitely felt a little awkward being that it was a high school talent show, and we were the only real band act. And we only got together to do this thing, so there wasn't really enough time or interaction to develop real chemistry.

[xxaimsersxx]

the drummer was absolutly savage x

[Mizzcrakster]

I say lol, go to da drummer he still kept playing even though he droped the stick

[x8dddx]

Thanks for all the positive comments on our playing!

[coolmango95]

WHOO! The drummer's got sick timing

[evasquez]

Sweeeet drumming, LOL @ the end though when the drummer drops one of his the sticks, respect to stayin on track!

[kittykat22304]

miiz onlii heard the drumz

they were KILLER!!!!

im sorrii

[burgerqueenx]

The Drummer Was Like The Only One You Could Hear And The Best You Could Hear

[Mickiiluvspanic]

drummer is awesome thats about it sorry!

[x8dddx]

Thanks, but the only reason my fellow players were not sounding great was because of our equipment, or lack there of. They are fine musicians, every last one of them!

[jwiz23]

pretty good the drummer dropped a stick but still kept rockin. kudos

[thepandaswillrule]

drummers killer.

rest of it...not so sure...

[Natalusprime]

that drumer is frekin GOING FOR IT! haha ITS AWESOME!! lol

[Simto]

Great drummer, but tell the guitarist to tune up before playing a show..

[WaNnAbUrGrL]

I loved it

but i cant hear ur voice :(

[LunaKayz]

Just like wat most of the rest of the people said, drums were awesome. Couldn't really hear the rest though. The singing was ok.

[slipknotfreek2006]

PARAMORE!!

[paranoicboy]

GO DRUMMER :D :D

awesome |..|.

[fuglybaloogawhales55]

drums are crazy

guitar and vocals...........

[x8dddx]

.........are also crazy just impossible to be heard over me.

[S15ALEXXX]

that guys is getting down! good drummer. But the rest of you couldn't be heard, and the guitarist sounded off tune from the start. I guess a loud drummer was good.

[GatorsFan27]

i think u would sound good if i could here u lol. no offence i know ur drumemr was prob getting rly excited but he needs to cool it a little.

[gigilovesjonas8794]

you guys were awesome!!

:]

[ElementSk8er1692]

woooooooo drums are loud.  throw in a back track of vocals like ashely simpson

[conejita995]

you gotta get more excited!!!! and the drums dont fit in with the other instruments.

[x8dddx]

If you mean in beats, he is just playing in a different fashion. If you mean they are too loud, we don't have great amps.

[xxsharks4lifexx]

drummers kickass.

but hes more of a metal style drummer.

[xxsoftballchick95xx]

wut school is this??

[LifeOfDestiny]

whats the name of the school?

realy great job

[x8dddx]

Mercer.

Thank you! ;)

[freakkybebe]

if the drums were a bit lower..it would have been better obviously..but i like it though!

thumbs up guys!

[x8dddx]

Thank you!

:)

[ilovebudixoxo]

i lllllluuuuuvvvvvvvvvvv the drummer he'sssssssssssssssssssssssssss­ss beast

[x8dddx]

It's not his fault, I was almost signing with no mic, because of our terrible sound system.

[allisonsnickers]

Dude. All I can hear are the drums. You should post another video of you just singing it. However, you sound pretty alright from what I can hear. :D

[x8dddx]

I'll try to, once I find a program that will record videos with my webcam and mic. ;)

[mynameisstupid27]

hey its allison, how ironic, yeah i agree with the drums being to loud, but its probably the fault of the sound person that did the talent show.

[dylki]

The drums over powered your voice at the chorus and during the verses, the Bass and Drums did. You have a great voice, he just needs to soften the drums a bit.

[Bubbs49]

drums were good but they coulda played softer

[cheesiefilms]

you sounded really good even though the sound system sucked. you guys are really good!

[x8dddx]

Thank you! :)

[68KisstheCrook68]

that was really good.

[x8dddx]

Thanks!!

[moonyfan21]

Jealoussss.

[moganda]

drummer was awesome, and the bassist too. I couldn't really hear the guitar or singing that great which is weird. lol

[moonyfan21]

My amp = 30 watt.

:( I am poor.

[moganda]

awh that sucks. I hear ya though, the only reason I got my awesome one is cause it was my cousins and he didn't want it anymore.

[SpazzlePop]

Same my mom won't let me go overboard with guitar equiptment. I went to my friends house and she has 2309820183 really awesome HUGE fender amps and there amazing. Noo fair.

[killtheoldway818]

cant believe the drummer kept so composed with the drop

fair play to him

[skullkiddy]

your good. you should do more covers where people can hear you a bit clearer :)

xx

[emoriotfreak13]

your drummer is really on point

but the singing was kinda quiet

[x8dddx]

Thanks!

Believe me, I was singing as loud as I could, but the drums and guitar amps drowned me out, and the mic couldn't be turned up any louder, being that the sound system sucked.

[muziqstresser]

damnn, your drummer is really gooood. (: hahah and your voice was good too ! :]

[jec9009]

ha the drummer looks like my friend aj

[saqeeb]

ha

you;re drummer iss sickkkk

haha

[anomoly507]

This gets a 5/5 simply because of the amazing band name. Very nice.

[bowjifuckoff]

omg the drummer is just amazing!

[x8dddx]

You should check out some of his solo videos I have up...they aren't really this style, but they showcase his talent pretty well.

[ZanessaForever45]

P.S. your drummer is really good

[ZanessaForever45]

its still good without amps! good job!

[x8dddx]

Bow and Zan, thanks for the kind words of praise. - Devin

[Mikeborman]

they are right about the bad equipment other than that it sounded good

[missedmond]

"well, i don't even go to this school..."lol I love that guy!!! ♥

[maydayroflcopterdown]

K, so I stared for like, minutes. and i can't figure out which side your high-hat is on.

Besides, i was wooting for lefty's in general. I 'm ambi, i switch the set depending on the drummer i'm covering. ^.^

[x8dddx]

Well I do have an aux. Hihat on my left.

[maydayroflcopterdown]

Wooooot, lefty drums forthewin!

[ddrummer12]

I'm right handed? haha

[RandomBooShii]

lol.. it was good.. :D

despite teh loud drumming which was good any way!!

[BECKSIEnDAVIKANZ4EVA]

its not bad actually..just yea..what everyones been saying, the sound is really bad,,you can barely hear her sing and the drums were way too loud..but it was still good..=)

[dodozebra101]

sad, you can barely hear the girl at all doesnt even sound like the song ur trying to play, effort LESS

[x8dddx]

It's actually not our fault; the sound system is crap, and if the mic were turned up any louder it would sound even worse. So, sorry, but there was nothing we could do about it.

And if you're trying to insult us by saying "effort LESS," that's actually a compliment.

[susiebadozy]

thats why when my friends band plays at school they bring their own equipment

[x8dddx]

The guitarists had their own amps; it was only the mic that was plugged into the school's sound system. But next time I'll definitely try to get an amp for the mic.

[hidefexperience]

the drums is kinda wrong dude. don't play the verse with the ride ok. just stick to the original. :D no offense dude. but it was a good performance, only that the amps we're kinda small for the room (i think). still, rock on guyz! \m/

[andrewgill88]

there is nothing wrong with those drums. just your speakers

[asiantorpedo]

Drummer is way to loud

[matiiz88]

i think it's quite alright, but i hear something is wrong with guitar. Bass - perfect, Vocal too ;) Something was wrong with drumms too, but it is still ok! Keep Playing! :)

[x8dddx]

Yeah, the drummer dropped his stick and played with one hand during the face close-up.

[moonyfan21]

Hey. That's us! Uh, we rock.
