I know there's no proof that this is me, but was there and I can tell you they thought it would be fun to do this song and they only practiced a whole one time so cut them some slack!
Sorry but that was terrible! I only made it about 30 seconds into the song. The guitar playing is great, though. And it doesn't even sound like there's a bassist!!
try singing from your diaphrahm man. try to losen up. you hit the notes you're just singing from your throat. nice instrumental though. just loosen up a bit buddy. takes a lot to get on stage. try to laugh at yourself if you mess up. talk to the crowd. helps me when i play. keep playin guys
@AustinGraggmusician I'm a professional guitar player playing around the world, I also own Fender and my name is Leo, I used to be president of Bulgaria. (its pretty dang easy lying on youtube)
@guitaristX007 Ah, what ever you say man, i just dont feel the need to do youtube when im doing fine locally, google "state of the union, Austin gragg" our website links are all there
@AustinGraggmusician I just did, are you the fruitcakes playing at a talent show and some really gay songs in your living room? you're 12 man haha, that's not even locally, thats just, a school. oh well, you're 12, HOPEFULLY you'll do better in 5-7 years. and listen to better music. the strokes, muse, dream theater, steve vai, damien rice (thats a wide variety of genre's revolving around rock)
@guitaristX007 no Im a freshman. and i play with 3 other bands. We played at park college w/ Sour apple surgery just last friday. You're an idiot. We are planning to play the uptown theater in KC here in the next month. I'm 15. And you sir, are a moron.
dude, guitars kinda shaky and a bit to distorted, try to take down some of the gain and reverb. and the vocals could use some work but the drums are great. keep it up guys, yall have some talent
Great job!! I'm gonna have to say the reason for the bad quality guys is the fact that they are in a school auditorium. But ya, a little more tuning and adjustment and they're well on their way!
I didn't know smurfs really existed (the blue haired..). Anyway as to the music not bad, sounded better when the guitars were turned up. The vocals just need to be worked on. Record your self singing it so you can hear yourself first or hire someone to teach you. Also timing needs to be worked on.
guitar is awesome. drums takes it over but you cant do much with a talent show performance i guess. maybe consider getting a singer? or lessons? just to help. it wasnt bad tho!
there was alot of slowing down in the verses when the drums weren't playing. and when they would come back in it would speed up so much. You guys gotta watch the timing. Otherwise it was pretty cool. Great Song.
practice guys, practice. You guys changed tempo a couple of times. Singer has potential, he's just gotta breathe...and train his voice. and stop going off key.
Really gutsy performance though guys, it's a tough song to play.
the vocals could use a bit more practice maybe, and the drums do sound kind of cheap but i think the drummer is good skill-wise . its not really his fault the drumset kinda sucks.
Your Drummer really takes it ove during the song, your guitar guy rocks though, really good. The singe does well singing and playing, but he should do moe then just stand aound. Be funny! thats what makes a band popular. ((and the music of couse))
u guys are really talented on playing the music the fans love that but they like it more if you sell the music like intertain the audiance like head bang u could like play one note but if you were to sell that note they will go insaine. its like going to a dance and not dancing u kind of look stupid its the same thing you have to preform when your in a band at a concert like that entrence is supposed to be big ecspicially when the drums come in you should be like jumping up and down go wild ther
man yall are good. i know its hard to play and sing at the same time. but yalls drummer needs to get new cymbals or somethin and practice a little more. he used the same fill over and over. but yall sound great
Actually, I won't lie.. the singing wasn't crap for a talent show. It was better than most.. a little nasal-y and this song needs a bass.. but it's one of the better band covers I've heard of this song on here.
dude its normal u could sing it alright when ure not on the mic but on the mic ur voice is amplified so u notice ure out of tone.... but dude the drummer needs a metronome just like me lol
I know there's no proof that this is me, but was there and I can tell you they thought it would be fun to do this song and they only practiced a whole one time so cut them some slack!

Here's some positive criticism, as nicely as I could put it. All wrapped up with a bow on it and all.
Lead singer has a little too much of a nasally voice for this... - Try singing for real, it sounds like you weren't even trying.
Drums are far too loud - it's all you hear - and it's not the greatest, I'll tell you that much.
The guitars were pretty good.
At least I'm not saying you all suck. I'm trying to give some positive feedback, which you can use to make your next cover better..
Good luck.

1. guitar effects didnt match

4.new gear
5.Make sure your playing for the right reasons and not to look cool.
Talent is kinda required
Take the advice, I play professionally with 2 bands and my own i know what im saying, have any questions just ask, im also a sound tech.
