MUTE CRITIC- Valediction 4-12-08

[snake006006]

i want to get all of your songs!!

where can i get them??

[bfmv68]

anybody who disliked or bashed these guys get ur fuckin ears checked.

[TheGroundBeef]

HE BIT HIS LIP AT THE BEGINNING!!! awesome hahaha

[racestarter88]

the drummer reminds of Danny carrey, with the ridiculously cool drum style. Great job guys and good luck. =p

[BGthedrummer]

Fukin Kick Ass

[dallaire17]

The drumming is ridiculously fitting to the style of music. keep it up guys!!!

[rockitmanley]

very good band!!!!!!!

[rhcpbass488]

sounds a lot like incubus. love it

[TheGroundBeef]

that dude bit his lip and then kris got told to wait up

[slotho122]

Nice spector bass he's got there.

[Phillipvi]

this song is awesome!

[metalliman420]

i am a massive metal fan and also a massive fan of this dude but i doubt he belongs in a metal band

[pumas89]

beeeeer!!!

[snareplayr23]

epic!!!!!

[Volentry]

nice song!

[pjtruesdale16]

why is everyone bashing on the drumming not mixing with the music? It all fits really well together. Its like a bunch of styles combing to make one. Sounds really good to me. I love bands like this. Every good drummer doesnt have to play metal...

[guayito4n3]

fuck man this sound really goood mtee!!

[xManchildx365x]

when does this demo come out cuz i want one

[blight4hire]

dude you;re a fucking good drummer but i feel that your drumming is wasted on a band like this. it doesn't do your drumming any justice. but haha, your singer has a nice voice :)

[irondagger93]

dude, i feel the same way as i my man here-you have some serious ass talent and need to put it to better use. get yourself a metal band, not one that is complete death metal screamo but something like godsmack with your drumming sklills and a kickass guitarist lol. but really, thats what i would suggest shooting for. ;)

[icMakett]

i would say his drumming talent would be put to waste in an everyday metal band. Besides, he isn't wasting his talent here, being a drummer isn't about making music to impress other drummers, its about playing the part that fits the song best.

[Volentry]

well-said!

[dragonforce123987]

so whats an every day metal band and whys that bad?

[masterbrosef]

ncie song.. it kinda sounds like incubus, it has that feel to it. is this a cover by the way or original????

[beastrevor]

you're an amazing drummer. i've been playing for like 5 months now haha :P but i'm alot better then you'd expect for 5 months i can play BMTH and all that remains. is that good?

[C19B19]

What do you want a medal ?

[beastrevor]

if you'd please

[M1ckee1234]

im not into all that kinda of music so if youd fill me in, what is BMTH?

[cichlidkeeper89]

BMTH= BRING ME THE HORIZON

[maxthedrummer2008]

depends what you call good drumming, personally i call the BMTH drummer dmore speed than technical, which is why i dont like him as a drummer, id much rather listen to some of aaron spears over joey jordison.

Just opinion though.

Also ive been drumming 6 years

[sam10980]

u should post a vid..., begginers tend to pay no attention to note value and play sloppy fills with no time..

[jonno69098887776766]

wow! great job- only thing i would say is try to make the crashes on the chorus more pronounced like with a lil break rite after, or a small roll on da snare between each.

[northerndownpour101]

you dont have enough cymbals..

haha jk.

[capdiguma]

everybody says too many fills = not good, but this sounds awesome so stfu

[IbanezGuitarist77]

you guys kick f***in ASS!!!!!

[DontRunBand]

i wish you guys recorded this!!!!

[WhiteChapel0514]

Fuck man I love your kit. Anything DW makes to me is amazing I love the sound of them and you have a lot of talent

[futurerev21]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAND A7X TOOO

[MUSICMAN123789]

just like icubs

[itsadrummersworld]

its sweet how u just flow around the drums. its like ur not even thinkin about it

[FaM0uSADAM]

this is awsume i so want your cd when it comes out drums XD <3 are so awsume

[DontRunBand]

Did you guys record this yet??

[wiimanoo]

this sounds awesome i would so buy this cd. keep it up

[cph42594]

the drummer outweighs the whole band

[xTheDevilWearsPradax]

and what do you mean by that?

[yadneerg777]

yeah

[jonno69098887776766]

i agree- hes better than em

[frankthetank1996]

Sound FUCKIN AWESOME!!!

[gravybiscuits57]

drummers good, but he does to many fills and stuff

[xTheDevilWearsPradax]

Fills? Its their own song?

[gravybiscuits57]

it seems like if he would just groove and not as many fills it would be better. just my personal opinion. but its great

[MetalCrazed92]

I'd buy this cd

[aXxTWICExXa]

Hey I'm from Mexico and damn i love your band it sounds very cool even though it sounds a little bit as incubus but is innnovative.Keep it up.

Sorry for my bad Inglish

[DrummerT2]

sweet you guys rock!

[xBadOmen]

This song sounds like incubus but a little heavier. It fuckin rocks man. Plus I like the tricky drumming during the verse's! Props to you guys!

[Systematic59]

good

[aliisthedrummaster]

cerveza lol

[pimpog305]

where are you guys from?

[uwishuwerecool024]

i wiah mt band was as talented as this. ive been 3 kinda 4 bands and only one time has everyone been good. usually the bass player sucks lol

[missleka21]

this song is really good i love it

[dadrummer42]

u guy are the shit but u guys shuold start playin metal shit

[omfgwtfisupwithyou]

gotta agree with almost all of the comments below. you guys are sweet and you sound like incubus. love the vocals and techniques on the drums

[LoveMonster57979]

this song is friggin sweet. U guys remind me of incubus

[JohnInder]

well done guys Love the kit have you got DW mini timbales cos thats what i am after . i have a dw pacific kit and they dont do the wrap anymore so i cant get extra toms anyways i live on a small island off the coast of france under uk goverment and cant buy shit . so if you use mini timbales please let me know if they are ok. thanks

john inder

[alesexy21]

the fucking drummer is a fucking god. i wish that the drummer of my band play like this

[thrashtildeth420]

i love the drums man, great shit

[DiarrheaAssault]

Nice groove, I like the song

[Sykesee]

I know its an old vid, but its fuckin awesome... i'm scoping them all again on a drunk mute binge... if you don't get your asses together again and "make yourselves" i'm gonna personally kick your asses!! true dat!

[rockzom666]

You all should do some Incubus covers.

[zvouun]

you need louder bass drum cant barely hear it at all more fuckin sweet tho you guys rock!!!!!!

[ollie1504]

bass drum is gonna be hard to hear anyway on a recording like this where his drums aren't miced sounds fine in the rest of his videos imo

[urap3n15]

It's a good sound.

It seems to be the backwards of good bands. Usually it's a very simple drum beat just back up to a "great" guitarist. (and as a drummer I always hated that), but this is great to see a guitarist just play a couple cords while the drum just makes the band awesome.

[ALBINO707]

nice rack ; ) lol u guys own

[irondagger93]

wow! really good!!!! i've watched like all ur drumin vids-u never seem 2 disapoint me dude!!! keep up da good work u guys!!!!

[Djwakenbake]

put this up on your myspace man. song kicks ass

[SpenBancerks]

Wow I definitely hear a bit of Brandon Boyd.

Great job very nice video.

Nice drumming.

[folkert182]

cerveza on your boxer.. isn't that spanish for beer? :P

[CloudStrife2014]

A M A Z I N G !

Totally awesome. Drummer: hot! and super awesome playing dude.

Singer: Awesome voice, love it, ^^, *Bling* "Incubus" *bling* ^^,

Guitarists: Awesome playing too. Love the song and playing. Cool band name btw ;D

[Crobbins2103]

Singer sings a lot like the Incubus singer. Great job, you guys are great.

[LanceDirk]

I can hear some old Incubus... very nice.

[fallenman001]

thats awesome man i would download your songs

[xxkilledxx]

omg! all you need is a good mix in the sound quality and i would totally buy this cd!!

[kessiius]

very good

[anniewasbornfirst]

Where can we download your sonnnggss??

:)

[Crackapples1337]

Fucking love this song, very very good job.

Can't stop listening to it.

[Jackiam18]

i never thought drummerbrown youtubecoverman is the drummer for mute critic the myspace band...

nice!

[anniewasbornfirst]

Jeez, you guys are really good.

Where can we download yer songs?! I love "Japan" :p

[LineCracker1]

wow this is really good, keep making music

[LeoMattos123]

lol cerveza

[ZachJG2221]

nice job

[deepviolator]

good music. really sounds close to an incubus unreleased song! cheers!

[Scr3amAimFire]

having a singer like that in that type of band ,,,than you guys need some1 to scream too, because thats boring music

[oblivionspawn07]

too some people screaming is boring music. all based on opinion, yours just happens to be the less popular opinion

[tubularxtyler]

Everything about you guys reminds me of Incubus. Everything.

You're all very talented. I love it. Great job.

[snairsucker13]

pretty cool

[VIHombreIV]

What kind of china do you have?

[mikeportnoyfan]

if you guys aren't signed in one month I'll loose all my faith in the music industry.

[SNguyz]

@mikeportnoyfan *one year later*

[SNguyz]

@mikeportnoyfan *one year later*

[mikeportnoyfan]

@SNguyz

this band disbanded, but some of the members joined another band and they are signed so...... I win

[xcantxbexsavedx2]

singer sounds like lead singer of incubus

good shit

[sizematters10]

I really enjoyed this song. Nice drumming.

[DrumzSpirit]

hey Donovan perfect Drummer... ;) good nice

[ridethelightning55]

i wish this song was on myspace

[nickscara7]

srfce2airmssles shut the fuck up. sounds to me like youre jealous cuz this drummer is fucking amazing and he plays complicated beats that fit. up yours douche!

btw this drummer sounds like travis barker. n hes fucking sick

[srfce2airmssles]

anyone can play complicated beats with some practice. the hard part about writing songs is making music fit and a lot of the time complicated beats like this just dont fit the music, he playing so much that it takes away from the rest of the band

[cloutier369]

What the fuck, i've been watching this guys videos for about half an hour now and on almost all of them yuou do nothing but complain about how much this guy sucks and how he misses fills when his drumming is really accurate to the cover, and his drumming sure as hell matches this song, you tone deaf fuck.

[GeneralEon]

idk if youre jealous or just retarded

[aNoReXoRcIsT610]

While I don't necessarily agree, I can see what you mean. The drumming is pretty sweet, but it's very busy, and a lot is going on there. I don't think it's a bad thing, necessarily, but I mean, sometimes, too much complexity is rather unnecessary.

[DCBKCD16]

Yeah, a lot of practice. You're a jackass. It's a good song. I'd deffinatly like to see you guys live. Ahahaha.

[srfce2airmssles]

i just want you to know that playing complicated beats does not make you a good drummer, this song sounds stupid because all you do pretty much the whole song is play some ridiculously complicated beat that doesn't match the music. it kind of sounds like your just playing randomly

[leejames1982]

hahaha it does match the song u jelouse or what hahahahaha maybe you could ask him for some lessons mate he might teach you how to play some technical stuff so you can sept up from a basic rock beat hahahaha LOSER!

[omfgidontno]

u guys kinda remind me of incubus for some reason lol

[piguif]

your damm good

[goblackhawks19]

nice job

i tried to start a band but every one who live by be cant play a bass or guitar or sing unless its rap

but any way like ur band

[Pekishandoll]

good song !!

[binkldrum]

U guys sound like incubus

i love it when your drummer does blink!!!!!!

[TheGroundBeef]

haha why did he bite his lip?

[bimbs87]

animal.. vocês são bons! continuem, onde posso ver as músicas gravadas? com qualidade e tal..

well i think that you won't understand what i have said here.. i'll try to explain what i said, but sorry about my english hahaha.. i liked your band a lot, you guys are very good, keep it up!

where can i see your songs with a good quality? congratulations you are a nice drummer and maybe you adore travis barker as i like him.. he is fucking nice!

get a time and check my band in my profile

[BLINK1FAN182]

you look alot more into with your band on your covers your more mechanical if you no what I mean

[A7XAtreyuRocker]

Excelent dudes!

really i've watched many of your vids

especially the covers on A7X (:

and i've tried to start my own band, but the rythm guitar and bass just are lackluster at best

but uhm anyway,

thought the song was great

[ESPguitarist16]

where u at, and what do u play??????????

[A7XAtreyuRocker]

I'm in FL

and i hate it here

i just walked outside with my friends for '09

and

i started sweating

yes

sweating

in the middle of winter

sorry the rest of that was unnessesary haha

[danyboy127]

CERVEZA  X)

u rox man xDD

[a7xguitarfreak]

Your singer sound like Brandon Boyd in this song.

Definitely some awesome stuff though.

[Willy7Boy]

jajaja he bit his lips jaja

[jessday14]

*certainly

[jessday14]

I've watching your videos for a long time,but just now i decided to comment xD you are the best drummer that i ever saw , and i love when you play Blink :) continue posting more videos,and i certanly will continue whatching them . congratulations , kiss :*

[TheGroundBeef]

donnovan amazes me with his drumming. escpecially in the beginning of the verse. extremely tasteful and original

graet job

[tldrums]

i think best mute critic song !!!

[hawkcwg]

looks like you took up your parents whole living room

[dylanorse1550]

my band will be like your oneday...lol but weare only 13 years old

[Blade11O]

dude I'm jealous of you kit. lucky. well you probably have money unlike some of us. (me included in the some of us part)

[Hangcat]

Awesome job! Everyone is this video shows some real talent! 5/5

[izanagi9]

u guyz iz good!

[Salvador1124]

Hey I live out in Indiana no where near where you are is your album out on itunes or something? I wanna buy it you guys are awesome.

[A7XKID813]

dude donavon this song is raw im a big fan of ur music and i support your band. o and btw for all of u h8rs out there the singer isnt bad it's the way he is supposed to sing the song so chill.

[mopheadrocker13]

cmon guys the singer isnt that bad, and it doesnt really matter anyway the rest of the band have talent (specially drummer) i think they could go places.

[HebeGebes004]

Lol the singer needs to stop trying to be Brandon Boyd from incubus. Donavan, I've watched all your videos from a7x and stuff, your excellent. remember that the absence of a note is just as important as a note being there.

[DrummerDBrown21]

yeah. i know what youre saying but this song is written the way it is for a reason. the way its coming out on the album is the way its supposed to sound.. you can check it out soon. and never say he's TRYING to be brandon. ill post a video for you to see him trying to be brandon

[Aaron7974]

I just got done watching ALL of the Mute Critic videos.. Singer SUCKS. rest of band is just wicked. I'd buy it.

[DrummerDBrown21]

Sorry dude, singer is better at singing than I am at drums.

[theblacklines]

Actually, there are a lot of bands out there with awful singers that still play a lot of shows, sell a lot of records. your singer isn't THAT bad, but what makes him REALLY bad is that I bet he thinks he sings well. When he doesn't. He just needs to control his voice better, tell him to take more lessons. he has a great deal of potential, i think.

[blaket022]

the reason he doesnt sound good is becuase of the mic quality on the camera. If you heard them live like i have or have their cd like i do you would think alot different.

[izanagi9]

idk bro u r pretty gangster at drums

[Aaron7974]

Do you have a engineered version of these songs? Myspace, or whatever? Prove me wrong man. I am in NO way dissing you or the band, but when you make a claim like that, I need proof.

[openyourneck]

singer is bad. tunes are good. new singer = success for Mute Critic.

the vocals around 2:40 are awful. sorry but its true.

[DrummerDBrown21]

do you even know what valediction means? im sure you dont

[openyourneck]

ummm...what does the meaning of valediction have to do with the fact that the singer cant sing great?

heres my valediction....

goodbye

[lasertrefakiefoo]

Niicee!. keep up the good work.

[usernamenoe]

nice job, hope to see u guys on tv someday, buy your cd or somethin, i really rike the song's feeling

[hectorisrad123]

ur drummer is doing to much, its koo to be busy but atleast be appropritaly busy

[usernamenoe]

dude, please don't make those kinda comments if u dont know what ur talking about.....

[DrummerDBrown21]

opinion. i play it cuz its fun to play that part that I wrote

[DeadMansTreasureDCG]

Guys once you get that demo all finalized jsut send it to a record company and im tottaly sure you got a record deal :P

[Lwojcik77]

awesome

[Griffferg]

You guys are very good. I hope u make it

xxx

[atomikfzr1]

your going to be famous

[aaronsfriend1]

I love this song!! The drum patterns are REALLY creative! Not just any normal fill but these cool, subtle cymbal and tom fills. Love it!

[dpaddy69]

damn this is good stuff i hope you guys make it big

and awsome drummin im a drummer myself so much respect man

[tydrummerboy]

i love the scream at 0:26...

[19jackson89]

that shit is good !

[jensbjoern]

The vocalist kicks ass!

[mikeportnoyfan]

this is good, reminds me of Incubus

[KorynnAshley]

i think my obsession with drummers just got that much worse....and the singer reminds of mclovin from superbad for some reason? i think its the angle lol.

[brewerbballer17]

if you guys ever put this song on an album there's no doubt it'd be a single. :]

[bobscore35]

i really like that fill thing you do in the verse.

[lapharoscopy]

sick drummin'!

[D3ATHISN3AR]

ahhh you got dw's

i wish i had a them

i dont much like my pearls

or my symbols

[nestorv69]

[MonkeyHatchet001]
