Max X- found this video while looking for a different song- wow! Forgot what I was originally looking for! Absolutely blew me away... I LOVE the feel and sound of it, gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it, had to go buy it. Great job with the vocals *goosebumps*!!
Anyone who thinks this dude can sing is dillerious. He can hold pitch a bit but sing.... c'mon people?? Time is a magazine to him as well. I hate it when singers have no concept of groove or what a groove pocket is. Any real musician listening to this is throwing up a bit in their mouth's! Can he sell it to people?? Sure, people buy bottled water where it rains all year!!
i disagree that the target demographic is older..i don't see how anything about the song indicates that.i have tons of current music from bands that sound identical to this and the bands i refer to attract mostly 20 somethings.
Well, not exactly. Different chords, actually. But the same effect. Tremolo. Glad it made you think of How Soon Is Now. Exactly what I was going for. Thanks for your feedback, keaneterpol. -Max X
I posted this video to my favorites at my channel. I've also posted a link at my forum, the Multiplex, which is linked at my YouTube channel. You have a great sound; please keep it up!
Wow! Thanks so much, TheWaxworker! That's really great of you to spread it around like that. Passionate fans of music, like yourself, are the lifeblood of independent musicians. Anyone else have a place to repost this video, it would be greatly appreciated. I'll check out, the Multiplex. - Max X
It is a bit shallow and self worshippy, schlabresfan. Lesson learned. Next one will be less. Probably still the same inexpensive actor, though. - Max X
Agreed, dkerrean. Just did this video for as low budget as I could. Had a great friend help me out shooting and directing it. I was the cheapest actor available. - Max X
A lot of passion in your voice.Girl's freak over that..especially because you have that,most guys seem to envy you. There's absolutely nothing wrong with your voice, you sound great! My brother is a one-man-band. He plays in the bars often. He made a load of boo-koo bucks one night...too cool. Your doing great. Music is inspirational,you'll know what sounds to make when it comes to you. My brother-in-law made a couple vids of his own on You Tube,Orbital Influence. I will have to keep on it ;)
This video drove me nuts. I liked it alot then couldn't find it. You have a great voice and the music will definitely make it. Way to go. Now you need to make more songs:)
I have no idea. Trying to get the time and $ to finish recording this next album that I've written. Then I'll do a video. One thing I can guarantee, it'll be even lower budget than this Ride In Your Eyes video. Probably just me sitting in a room playing guitar and singing. Any ideas? What would you want to see? - Max X
My god what? My god this is awful? Or my god you're a hottie? Or my God you just actually had a religous experience that may or may not have had anything to do with this video? (Someone said I looked like Jesus once-what the F!) If everyone could extrapolate on their religious outbursts for the sake of clarity, it would be greatly appreciated.Just messing with you Wiredmass, I'll assume in the positive. Thanks. - Max X
Hmmm. Being me had it's ups and downs but generally not ready to give up being me right now. So, No, you can't. But keep checking in Estrellafugaz777, might be up for a trade in a bit here. - Max X
Are you kidding me? I had to wrastle that feisty biach for 8 hrs straight for that thing. Don't worry, she came over a couple months ago and swiped it back. Distracted me with a quick nipple flash. Totally unfair. Gone for good, I'm afraid. Won't hear it again, Mageever , - Max X
not bad, not bad at all, i hear some smiths, some inxs, but im not hearing the peter murphy (or bauhaus) maybe some THE THE, i would buy this, it has a nastalgic feel
Really apreciate the comments, CollectorOfMusic. Yup, definitely influenced a bit from The The as well. Mainly the song "Out of The Blue (Into the fire)". Would LOVE (need) anyone thinking this is buy worthy to visit iTunes or CD Baby, Napster, Emusic. 1/2 way through recording the next album (but struggling). Thanks! - Max X
Yup, lot's of people have been asking for a version without the vocal fx. Maybe someday I'll get to it. Busy recording next album at present. Thanks Degree7. - Max X
I truly enjoyed that! Great vibe. there were some points where you sang off beat a bit. you were lined up vocally to the rhythm, but all in all good stuff.
That's sweet of you, hhhstar. Love the Vh1, MTV wishes but I'll probably have to sell a lot more songs on iTunes before that happens. Ha. Never know. Really appreciate the support! - Max X
Kind of an over-synthed Brian Ferry. If you're going to speed it up and go for the rave scene that's fine but if you're looking to present as a musical act then it would be nice to actually hear music and vocals.
Great melody -- needs a little variation (it sounds like the same thing over and over). The video also needs a little work -- a more interesting concept, perhaps, something unique, novel. You have a great voice, but the lyrics need to be less cliched, and more insightful. Also recommend not "electronic" vibe in your voice. You def. look like a rockstar. Good luck!
Having lived the life during the 80s, I just wanted to say good work. I really enjoyed the music and sound. Video isn't bad for a early effort, much better than my non-existent one. lol. Keep doing good...
The song is not bad. Maybe more dark under tones would bring more life to his vocal prowess. Love the 80's feel but I think a little more updating is needed. As for the video....needs more imagination. Even a drift from photo or scene would have been better. Sorry to use the word "more" so much but that is how we grow. Through creative criticism.
Oh my, this is awful. Apparently, the director of the video is imagination challenged. We get it, you can play an instrument, but a solitary man strumming his guitar in a video is tacky (and a little creepy). Also, a blatant attempt to imitate Marr's guitar riff on "How Soon Is Now" does not a Smith prodigy make. I liked the deep voice for about 2 seconds (literally 2 seconds), but then the dull visuals made everything else go flat. Sorry, not feeling it.
Hello Max, 'tis I +HUUVOLA+ (mawwoods3)..yes I still love you!!! Found you looking for Peter! (tongue and cheek here!!) Call Me Babe..if you want your head....(hehehehe)
Man this stuff's bad. I have to look at this douche every time I search for Tom Waits vids. This 80's revival stuff is starting to resemble a toilet shooting our biggest turds back at us.
Who'd have thought of combining Calvin Klien and the Smiths into one Disney friendly package. I mock but with a little rougher look and a more original sound, this guy could be good.
As mentioned by someone else, he's hitting the "how soon is now" riff a little too close to home. Also, the voice effect isn't needed. I don't really see the potential for him, as he uses voice effects heard mostly in bad 80's music (and the AWFUL music geared towards those who enjoy the crap that comes off the Disney Channel's record labels). Calvin Klein could use him though.
Ok. Honest critique? Smiths rip off is too blantant. Don't like the image/ video. Naked hairy chest???? Don't like the voice effects. Stick with your regular voice. Shd have gone for something darker, grey, and maybe not just have only shown YOU. Almost seems kind of vain. Overall, I think there is some potential...but maybe just haven't hit it dead on yet. Good luck :)
all of the artists you tagged are my favorite...how random, and interesting<3...im glad we have the same musical taste...and i like how your music reflects your influences as well<3
I found this song on MySpace awhile ago. And I still love it. Amazing piece of music that really gets under your skin and never goes away. - Deaconlight
I don't know much about you but you have a good head of hair. I was just browsing alternative rock. Great voice! The sythesizer and instrumental part of the song is balanced just right too. Two thumbs up!
Bauhaus with Johnny Marr... that's what I thought, too... but I've just finished my 6th time through it. (LOL) I hope the rest of the songs on the album are this good. That'll be a must buy.
