Run Away by Fear Salesman

[Coven31]

Godsmack/Silverchair/Nirvana much?

[dirtpig]

@Pfafflewaffle I don't think he sounds like Cobain at all. The vocals sound off and out of tune. Not to my liking but best wishes to them...

[Khsprnz]

Sounds like Nirvana 2.0 for me. I like it. :D

[Khsprnz]

Sounds like Nirvana 2.0 for me. I like it. :D

[Khsprnz]

Sounds like Nirvana 2.0 for me. I like it. :D

[Mike50005000]

So, are you still hard at work on the album?

[FearSalesman]

@Mike50005000 Definitely. Trying to polish off the album while I try to figure out a few more ways to do some indie promotion for it. Thanks for asking :D

[psychochinchilla393]

GOOGVAN

[iareseb]

GOOOOOOOOGLE VAAAAAAAAN !

[bffalcon]

GOOGLE VAN!

[KillerK1992]

cool idea, the google van ;-)

[Talom1]

greetings from germany! Great promoidea and nice music.

[icalexander]

great song and awesome idea on getting yourself noticed I'll be sure to listen to more of your music really digging the indie rock/electronic mix

[dirtpig]

Everything about this song rocks EXCEPT the vocals. They are HORRIBLE!  Just being honest.

[LeoNatan25]

Good job on chasing the Google van! Loved the idea! :)

[vas27851]

I like the song, I like the promo.Keep on going!!

[fluffyMetis]

Don't care for the song, but big thumbs up for the promo idea. Keep going- it's the 90% perspiration and 10% inspiration thing.

[FearSalesman]

You're definitely right on the 90% perspiration thing. I definitely plan to keep working hard at this, too.

Even if you don't like the song, I appreciate the listen.

[oliverdwalker]

I found you from google street view and would like to let you know I love the song.

[xoskins]

Great Idea with the google street view. And congrats on going viral.

[Shadowsniper689]

Crazy - I just watched Rashomon for a class last week. Good stuff!

[daskraut]

your google streetview idea was great! hope that promo trick works :)

[hex357]

gizmodo google ! free promotion great sound very dark!

[nikied]

dude, rashomon?

[FearSalesman]

Yup, Rashomon.

[MercenarySlick]

Guitar part sounds like "Hey Man, Nice Shot" by Filter.

[beatsiz]

Guitar needs something more original.

Vocals are slightly monotone.

Drums are too edgy, they need to be more dynamic.

I thought I'd give some constructive criticism instead of "You're so good"

Awesome synth though!

KEEP IT UP!!!

Google Street View WIN btw =]

[FearSalesman]

Thanks! I like this kind of feedback - if you want to go into more detail, send me a direct message, either here on youtube or on my site.

Same goes for anyone else that might read this.

[500kwr]

@beatsiz I actually thought the vocals fitted the music very well. Yeah, the synth is awesome.

OP: I'm surprised you didn't get a bigger response when you posted it on reddit last year.

[hjustin1993]

streetview! actually, gizmodo!

[Yerzriknot]

Congrats on getting on google. Actually not that bad of a song.

[Staplerzzzz]

I come in peace from Gizmodo

[FearSalesman]

Welcome. The Gizmodo article is great.

[cris1881C]

nice, i guess ur streetview plan worked...

[rtrue28]

Also a giz-linker... Nice effort but I think you're about 15 years late with this song. Keep at it!

[Beznet]

oh hey there mr. googlestreetview haha.

Pretty good music actually man.

[twatbass]

linked from gizmodo.

[seanturvey]

Beautiful B.C. Canada here.

Streetview works

[TheWillyTanner]

greetings from germany

streetview works.... :-)

i like the clear drums... sounds good !!!

[Soniceagle28164]

hahaha cool idea with google street view, now you'll become very famous, maybe

[FearSalesman]

Haha. I'm not looking for fame, although I'm happy to find people that like my music. Thanks for checking out my video.

[ChRiSizHiGh]

I actually like the song, just the beginning needs work.

[tylerch94]

I saw you on Google Streetview!

[Soniceagle28164]

i know too, but look, people know you here in germany now as the canadian with the smart idea, you were mentioned in german newspapers and on TV! and your not avril lavigne or billy talent or celine dion or bryan adams ;-)

PS great video really!

[Regal1800]

there are trees in saskatchewan?

[Strangulation]

Probably a few hundred million of them.

[grumblebunny01]

music is about stealing ideas and re creating new ones.. i like the music. Great idea to get your stuff out there. kudos

[SaskMusician]

it's not stealing, if you truly take ideas and recreate them. True there are always elements that a musician can pull apart and compare them to others, but not a whole frickin' bassline. There's quite a difference!

[zaihtaMHS]

Haha, theres an article about your "googlestreetviewthing" on aftonbladet :D

[BlaxRaven]

Also saw ur google pic in the news paper Aftonbladet in sweden :D.

[heavenroose]

Haha Nice song maan! Could be much better in a studio! Saw you in a newspaper called Aftonbladet "Sweden" :)

[FearSalesman]

Hej! Thanks for checking out my video.

[infernoj12]

Hey man, nice song. Nice song, man.......

[FearSalesman]

lol, now that's funny :D

[codemaestro]

Well the Filter riff is unmistakable being one of their greatest hits.

Intentional or not it's probably a good marketing strategy though hooking people with something familiar.

[Jordanhunter4]

Seen it on CBC! Awesome!

[SaskMusician]

Check out your music after hearing the genius free advertising use of the google street view camera for your album.

What i find not so genius, is the originality of the music. I think i'll stick to the original "Hey Man Nice Shot" done by Richard Patrick from filter rather than this remix you've done. Although copyright rules allow this to be technically original since 8 bars of this track is not completely copied; the rest of us actual musicians see right through you.

keep practicing.

[Anzvillan]

Great song man!

[MrFredthebuilder]

that was awesome idea. good way to make yourself heard

[Zxceelxuz]

Neat idea about Street View advertising :P

[faye295]

I saw you on CBC's article about your Street view trick.

Bad ass!

[FearSalesman]

I'm glad it got noticed - thanks for checking out my video.

[hardt92]

Saw you on Google street view.

[Dayvalo202]

This is true (white) hip-hop! Get some hard core skaters and bmx riders and dirt bikers in your next vid for this song! I know you might not be white but your still ma mutha fuckn brother from a nutha mutha fuckn mutha, mutha fucka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TESOblivion4]

I see what ya did, and I like it.

[FearSalesman]

Cool, thanks.
