Rise of the Phoenix--Original Song Live in the Grandstand!

[adoseofdharma]

I love it! I'm a gamer girl geek and I play World of Qarcraft on the Anvilmar server. We have a guild called 'Rise of the Phoenix'. I would love to be able to use your song as the soundtrack of a video with pics of our players toons. Is there a way to get a copy of the soundtrack from you or is it available for download somewhere? Thanks for sharing. You are very talented.

[Genmills]

@adoseofdharma That depends... Horde or Alliance??... Haha just kidding. I made a Reverb Nation page where people can listen to the high quality versions of some of my songs. I will upload a video soon with some of my music and I'll put a link to my page. I'll also get it set up soon so that people can download my songs from there. Stay tuned...

[MeerwaserPat]

This is so fucking awesome. You are the best. :D

[MetallixKnight]

I only watched your two Holy Orders covers before this... And I have to say, not only do you look better with long hair, but your composition skills are pretty badass. You've earned another subscriber. Can't wait to see your future output.

[Genmills]

@MetallixKnight Thanks! I've got a studio version of this song almost ready, and a couple other new songs well on their way to being finished. I'll probably get around to uploading those in the future...

[theanalogkid7]

I love all the influences that can be heard, Petrucci... TSO... I even hear some Halo and a bit of Rush (Not sure if it was intentional, but I loved it). You absolutely should get this finished up and get a solid studio recording made. I'd love to hear it!

[Songwriter4God]

Awesome as usual :P, main riff sounds just like Petrucci, can really hear him in your style. Could you upload a video of you playing it at home though? Bad audio quality, can't really hear you at all.

[Genmills]

@Songwriter4God Thanks! I guess since I already know the ins and outs of this song, I can pick out the different parts in this video. I'll work on getting the "studio" version uploaded sometime and then I think you'll like this video a lot better. :)

[Songwriter4God]

@Genmills Heh, makes sense. Thanks. And "studio" :P

[Ziece4]

Sounds like a mix of TSO and Petrucci. Rock on!

[Genmills]

@Ziece4 Then I have achieved success! :D

[Joyfulchute]

whoaaa, haven't watched your videos since the holy orders video back like 4 years ago. Came across your videos 4 years later, and boy you've certainly changed. Almost thought the Genmills channel was replaced by a guy with super long hair, until I realized it was you.

[jtxp93]

petrucci"ish...



[7rhuntera]

It's just fantastic ... just fantastic, pure elegance .. I'll surely wait for the studio version! FANTASTIC Job, Connor!! You have all my respect! Again - Great Job!

[MrSeanicia]

Yes... My cousin is an amazing guitar player! :D :D :D Congrats on the win!!!!!!!!

[ToasterRehab]

Why don't you just join a metal band that chugs and has awesome solos already?

[madchild0709]

i envy the long hair

great tune btw.

[cnashrun5]

you should definitely get a band and or come play in austin texas id pay to see you

[theaws0m3guy]

Yet another man from humble beginnings on YouTube makes it BIG! :) Good job!

[mclovinit54]

so epic this is great

[JProckmusic]

Did you record this track? :)

[liczkos]

how to dislike this? is there even a button for it?

[silverisss]

you are so amazing, that it makes me wanna stop playing guitar, bcoz i will never be that good.

[JustShred015]

that.was.sick.

[joffrey37]

The quality is not fantastic... Can i hear in with a studio quality recording like in your other vidz ? I keep being a huge fan of you man, you have all my respect !

[Genmills]

@joffrey37 Thanks! I have a really good recording of this song, but I'm not sure when I'll post it. It's extended compared to the version you hear in this video. The full version is about 6 minutes, but I'm still working on making an outro for it...

[farmfarmer]

@Genmills I guess I second that! If you'd post a studio quality recording of this song, it would be epic :)

[machogriz]

incredible song, playing, stage presence, and everything! very well done!

[aliatom]

You are a God.

[farmfarmer]

Awesome job man! this was worth the wait. Also I really like your stage get-up and presence; almost seems like your straight outta TSO or something

[RJON415]

All came together for the big win this year! Congratulations, Connor!!

[irishdragon735]

sounds amazing dude. I hope you achieve great things in the future, not that this isnt great but i hope you get to play for thousands some day!

[MizzElissa]

AAAH I wish I was there to watch you win Connor! Congrats :D
