[razzwar]

[donottawaguitar]

you are very very tallented

[PhippsFilms]

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

[nthvt5672]

why does he deserve it no he already has a robot so no u dont deserve it

[MertonSmurf]

Fuckin hell give the guy a break, baring in mind the fact there are probably several hundred million professionally recorded songs out there, it's likely that his drumbeat and guitar riffs might sound a bit like some others, but I have to say, good on ya man, carry on mate.

[303309]

jeez people its a pretty damn good song and anyone deserves to win the guitar so stop talking crap because not everbody has a lot of money.

[MrRomer0]

why do you want to win another Gibson when you already have one? let someone that dosen't have a good guitar win.

[jacktheguitarman]

and his is a robot guitar too

[JohnnyLawlz]

Aww u didnt make top 10 WTH NEITHER DID BENS SONG WTF GIBSON RIGGED AHHH -.- and Fuck u

josh and cj wow you guys dont know anything about guitar or songs... There are billions of songs in the world, billions of riffs and drum patterns -.- i bet at least 30 million songs use the same riff and 50 million use the same drum pattern... it doesnt matter u freakn retards because he made the song...

[stevehuff1969]

Top 10 is up at Gibson...

[JoshE606]

Ya and the drums and the guitar are also copied. Listen to the drums and the guitar at 55 seconds on his video. Then compare it to Angels and Airwaves - "The Adventure" at 1:42. It is copied again at 5:04 to 5:24

[PhippsFilms]

well, I am very big about making your own songs, so I can promise you, Ive never heard that song, but now I kinda want to go check it out! Also, there are pobally 4 songs out there with this riff in there, there are billions and billions of songs out there, one has to be sounding a little like a bother here or there.

[PhippsFilms]

dang, and that riff sounds kinda the same! and thats also a very basic drunbeat

[cjdeanda]

Wow the guitar on this song sounds copied big time....

Listen to it at 0:40 seconds, then listen to Angels and Airwaves - "The Adventure" at 0:45 seconds

[mkfrst]

Um, are Gibson ever going to post their top ten, or WTF???

[PhippsFilms]

They did this for the contest last year too, it could be up to a week! ughh, I'm soo eager!

[JohnnyLawlz]

[tbed63]

This entry along with the Ben Jacobs song are far better than all the others put together. This one is still not nearly as strong as Ben's though. A worthy effort Phipps! Nice work.

[PhippsFilms]

thanks!

[mkfrst]

tbed63, "far better than all the others put together"? I know that this is just your opinion, but have you actually listened to the others? Other really good entries that are in the same league as these songs and have a good chance of winning are newpixeldude, kindafishy, craigart42 and koetjeboebla. You are all just lucky I didn't get mine done on time, LOL :). No really, everyone has their own opinion, but keep an open mind. This contest is wide open, any one of several entries could take it.

[tbed63]

Hey thanks for the leads. I have tried to watch every single one, but I may have missed some. I will go check out those vids. Thanks man!

[scooterpaul29]

Actually my fave top 3 are Ben Jacobs, The Time Machine Dudes (space and time) and stevehuff1969 (oh wey oh). There are about 7 vids IMO where any could be the winner. You have to look at the song, how catchy is it? How relevant is it to the guitar in question? How is it presented in the video? I feel Ben Jacobs has the entire package. Catchy song, pro recording, great presentation. stevehuff1969 also has a very catchy song and the time machine song is just so out there they can take it!

[tbed63]

OK, so I watched the 4 you recommended. I really like newpixeldude's song. The video is lacking, but the song is very pro and catchy. The other 3 are don't come close to Ben's, Pixel's, or this video here. I totally agree with scooter...Ben has the whole package. His song is fun and pro. The video is totally cool and clean...a lot of style. I think it's in a league of it's own with a couple others tied for a distant second. I have an open mind...but I also have a mind. Ben's is the best.

[mkfrst]

I definitely agree that Ben's is very good (and so is this one), but I think kindafishy and pixeldude are the top two - just my opinion. I like harder, more guitar-riff-oriented stuff with emotionally strong vocals myself.

I appreciate your opinion as I am sure you appreciate mine.

Hey, everyone likes different stuff - otherwise there would be no Mariah Carey's or Coldplay's in the world. If only that were true... A man can only dream... LOL.

[tbed63]

mkfirst...I appreciate your respect...unlike many people here on YouTube who are so rude. We definitely agree on Mariah and Cold Play...LAME!

[JohnnyLawlz]

w8 on second thought after i listened to it twice ehhh the lyrics may not be strong but your guitar chords really are dang i change my mind about everytin i said and YOU AND BEN R DEFINETLY GOING TOP 5!!! :D

[JohnnyLawlz]

also do you think you can put this song up for mp3 download? lawlz I love all these songs for dark fire entry they sooo good :D please gimme a link to this song for mp3 download

PS : My sis wants it too :D

[PhippsFilms]

haha, you crack me up. Ya, i will give me a little though

[JohnnyLawlz]

so u will put the download up for grabs? :D

[JohnnyLawlz]

AWESOME SONG MAN YOU AND BENJAMIN R GOING TO BE FINALIST I SWEAR YOUR SONGS WERE BEST!!!

But If I Had To Say... I Think Your Song Would Probably Be The Opening For Benjamins Song... Because His No Offense But Just Seems Better Cus Its Kinda More Addicting Your Is Great And By Far Better then the others -.- but your lyrics arent very "Strong" and doesnt really *as my guitar teacher tells me* reel ppl in. Srry :(

[stevehuff1969]

Just want to wish all entrants GOOD LUCK! Top 10 is announced Monday!

[scooterpaul29]

I'm an honest forward guy. NIce job but wasn't a fan of the lyrics. They didn't seem to flow. The playing is great. You have a ton of nice gear man!

"I played with you all day and night till my butt was sore"

[PhippsFilms]

Haha, Thanks for the feedback. It's always nice to hear an honest comment. Yes! You are completly right. For some reason I had alot of trouble writing words for the song. So I eneded up just playing it and improving the words, and then wrote them down and mastered the vocals. Haha, and that line was originally "I played with you all night until my breath was sore" But I thought that would be funnier. Thanks for the comment

[AlexDeMars123]

you really dont need a dark fire, you have a robot guitar!

[swbit]

Nice song, your sure to win. Also I think I might be heading to my guitar shop in a few days. :P
