Closing In - The Living End - HSC Performance

[Twangabilly]

I think it's time you invested in some effects, at least reverb or slapback delay..

[robuslawrence]

@Twangabilly I might leave that to the others, as i'm the one on drums! :)

[vulgarcowpower]

FTW this song is hard as fuck to play. but i couldnt hear the bass.

[robuslawrence]

@vulgarcowpower haha yeah, i think me and the guitarist drowned out Ben on Bass.

some more time to practise would have been most welcome.

i thought we did ok in the end.

[FreerunnerDave]

hahaha hey man dont let these guys get to you they are everywheremostly cause they dont have anything better to do than to try and tell someone off online cause they are to pussy to do it face to face and whatnot lmao....

anyway.....the video was good the song was good i know how hard it is to 'edit' a song that already exists so well done on that and congrats on the good mark

[xlachlanpx]

guitar sucks the stretched arsehole juices of a thousand dying whores

[blockheadface]

Mate, you're getting much harsher criticism than I think you deserve. I mean, sure there were some dud notes and the tone of the guitar/amp didn't sound that great (though that could be the camera), but you did alright and managed to maintain interest in a song that was originally intended to have a vocal melody. Most of the people telling you that you suck have probably never picked up a guitar in their lives other than to try and play "Smoke On The Water". Keep playing man.

[gnomie22]

it wasnt that bad of an effort.. the guitar playing is pretty good, its just the amp doesnt sound very nice or something.. kind of dull.. i can barely play it like that. its a very hard song to play.

[2010punker]

Jesus give the kids a break, it's an hsc exam they're not playing madison square garden. Good effort lads keep practicing.

[Addaam1337]

Faillll

[JuicyDBASE]

Oh geeze... I seriously don't wanna sound rude, .... but it could use some work.

[jaackkushner]

this is a really hard song, and unfortunately it doesnt seem to have gone too well. what is hsc by the way?

[willakz]

its the end of high school exams.

Higher School Certificate

those who choose music have the option of doing either viva voce, compositions or performances as their practical exams.

[jaackkushner]

cool, wihs we had that sort of thing in Britain would be so much better

[CptProlaps]

Just out of curiosity, what was your mark for this?

[mosriter1976]

not so bad indeed. keep on going

[simsZW]

nah not bad for a high school performance. hard song

[octobag]

Awful. Just terrible. Learn the basics before tackling this one again.

[Sarey167]

hello,

i don't think you did such a bad job!

i'm doing this song currently, im in year 11

so well done! :)

[guitarist97]

u played the entire song wrong. the intro was WAYY off

[guitarist97]

THIS SUCKS!! im 12 and can play this entire song better than u. get some guitar lessons

[jpnicolacopoulos]

you should have never attempted this song with your playing ability or lack there of

[robuslawrence]

gee... thank you all so much for your wonderful encouragement and constructive critisism.

thank you for making youtube such an inviting place.

[GubaJones]

Don't put up performances if you can't take people not liking them?

Or at least make sure its played well.

[funnnnnnnnnnnnny]

@robuslawrence

dude, by posting this video you're pretty much inviting everyone to laugh at you and say you suck. you guys aren't ready for this song, and i doubt you ever will be.

3 thumbs up, 26 down? just delete this crap and stop humiliating yourself.

[rishflab]

its ppl leik this that make HSC music 1 scale down really badly

[jordano666]

shit happens when guys like these meet each other.  what a horrible shit

[primussucks]

shit, this is just awful. just simply awful. go play some oasis or something. really, just go get lessons. sack your drummer. buy a metronome. it's just awful. 3 mins of my life. gone!

[primussucks]

in fact, you're gonna get both barrels. you absoultely suck. why did you take this song on? you have the timing of a deaf group. it's ridiculous! absoultely awful. wait until you get through puberty before you even attempt this song. jeez. i hope the living end haven't heard this song else they may sure for violation.

[primussucks]

you suck. so fucking bad. you don't even look like you care. go ruin someone elses music.

[darkschine]

Nice work guys :) I know how hard this one is for the guitarist!

Rock on |m|

[gmaccy313]

the guitarist is awful

[CaraTheGuitara92]

wots with the drums?

nothing like the original :S ..

[stephenswickedcool]

Sorry man, that was terrible lol. Your guitarist had buzzes and i'll never know how good your bassist was because I could never hear him. The drums were great though.

[howsitgoingbts]

are you playing it on a eukalalie or what?sorry im as good a speller as he is at the eukalalie

[CaydM]

is the guitarist deaf?

just a question :P

[shredder2705]

hey man learn it better next time iv almost figured out how to play in cheak my channel and have a look

and ill be doin it with buddha117 soon aswell with some drums and bass so keep and eye out for that

[bassbassbass8]

the tone on the guitar is terrible! Drums are good! But Everything else is sloppy

[GamingImpact]

lol

[CptProlaps]

murder if i have ever seen it before in my life.

No offence... but if u did that for ur hsc.. you should of picked a song more at ur level

[jomumma1]

yeah no worries, i have to buy one of those chords

and just to let u know i got nominated for encore too

[jomumma1]

That was soo bad man!! You are murdering that guitar. I know it's a hard piece, just keep practicing!!

In a couple of weeks or so I'll post me and my two mates playing it and put it up here, so you can see wat it's meant to sound like.

[maloy2222]

u gonna post that vid any time soon mate?

[S3AB1SCU1T]

i give you an A for effort did you try learn this like 3 days before you performed it?

[faulkner1991]

not great...the guitaring was good until the solo, bassist didnt seem to have a clue. drums were good. as matthindrarr said, keep at it. try getting better tabs, and working through them slowly. though you did quite well by ear.

[matthindrarr]

umm... at least the lighting was good!

Keep working at it buddy, it'll come together :)

[acedrim]

im doing this on guitar for my HSC! but its so haard...i dont have much time left =S

[2mml]

umm did you get a good mark?>

[robuslawrence]

all they told me was that i got a band 5 in music.

1 being bottom, 6 being the best. for some reason they don't give you separate marks for theory and practical

[billybobabob]

im doing this song for my hsc

uve scared me

lol

[kooldog98]

lol so bad

[valarking]

oh god, the humanity...

[Sp0t]

hehe, a very respectable attempt at a very difficult instrumental jazz piece.

[joshnicholson]

dude did u work this out by ear? if so i have a tab that could give u sum pointers if u still wanna play it?

[robuslawrence]

haha thanks, but i dont really want to play this song ever again! :P

and yeah i learnt my part by ear (i played the drums) but we only did it for our HSC and thats done now.

cheers!

[maloy222]

hey man could u pls send me the tab for this??

that would be great!

[robuslawrence]

i didnt actually use a tab, i just worked out the timing and played it by ear.

i cant read tab fast enough anyways. :P
