guys, this is a fairly good cover, but the timing is a little off. (Unacceptable if you're not a live band really) and the most fundamental issue is that it gets really pitchy at around 2:54. Really whats up with the tuning there? and stays out ...
Sorry I don'r mean to be negative, I really like what you guys have achieved. Any musos will know just how hard this song is. But a tuner would help!
Nicely done..! Yes its a cover but all did very good, Rush is never "easy" Love the 4 window concept man, that was the simples way to appreciate the show... Nice job guys!
Well, there is no relation between "control my energy" and what I really did on this cover. The fills I added were intented to keep my cover I little different from the original one.
As I always said, a cover is not a copy. To cover means to interpret, and that's what I did.
@YTDSoM You're obviously new. What you did is EASILY you can't play straight forward which will come in time. That's all and that's it. Trying to cover up your inexperience is not going to work.
And what's wrong on trying to cover a song like this, even if "I'm obviously new"? I never said I was in a priveleged level of ability.
The fact is: I played my way. You would play your way, however you can't think your way is right and mine is wrong. You need to see another point: If I can't control my energy, I should AVOID adding stuff. Why should I fill it with a lot of notes if I can't control them?
@YTDSoM I think the drums were perfect, Neil peart is a very good drummer and his parts are hard to play, you made it your own and i don't care if you are "new" or if you played for 20 years... this was a good cover with emotion and originality! Still not perfect but VERY good ! Cheers and keep on the good work !
@YTDSoM take constructive critism much better I suggest. I also think you have maybe put too much stuff in where it doesnt need to be. I know you wanted to make it your own, but adding stuff doesnt always mean better. Very impressive though particularly with your fills
@YTDSoM I think the drums are fine.. they just need to be mixed differently.. they are way to loud.. guitar needs to be louder and bass as well.. keyboards are fine in the fix.. just bring the bass and guitar to those levels , otherwise.. good show :)
That's a good idea, but it would only be relevant if I used the camera's mic to record. If I tryed that, the drums would sound terriblely bad, so I decided to record with separate mics.
Thanks for you comment, I indeed apreciate it! Watch my other videos and give me your opinion about them, if you wish.
What video editing program you use? and if all recording is done through your pc what software you use? I think it looks and sounds very good, especially the video editing.
Horribly overc ompressed sound on the master track. It squashes the bass player, and the guitarist comes through a little too hot. Drums can be pushed back a bit. Why not separate the guitar to the left a little? Fade the drums a little farther right. The bass is the show here and the mix down just killed it. Everybody played their asses off though. Love the talent in this video.
primeiramente o som tirado da bateria ficou bom, visto poucos microfones! é aquilo que dizem tirar agua de pedra. A bateria ficou numa afinação adequada e bem feita. A execução ficou legal visto que sua pegada de baqueta é mais ``jazzistica`` não é muita enfase na pegada como o rock mas sim no fluir!
The hats were slightly off timing in the drum solo and bass solo bit! but apart from that it was all good few other things but nothing worth kicking a fuss over.
Como guitarrista, preste mas atencion a la guitarra y me parecio el punto mas debil. Sin embargo pienso que tiene las aptitudes pero necesita practicar y escuchar mas la cancion.
El timing tambien estaba off en algunos puntos, pero todo es cuestion de mas practica. Felicidades por lograr ensamblar el video a distancia. Me gustaria alguna vez intentarlo.
Very nice job guys. That's not an easy song to play for anyone. I think some of the nay-sayers are probably wannabe's who need everything to sound just like it does on the I-pod. You guys were not just close, you were there. Again, great job. Hope you guys manage to get together and go on tour some time!
veery nice guys, dont mind these other comments sayin you were off, i think you guys nailed it...guitarist, yeah youre tone was a little off for rush, but hey, youre not rush, so its all good, youre playing was great...bassist, im one myself, and you were sick, especially for the solos, props to ya...and drummer, great job, it looks like you play alot of jazz and thats a good thing, helps you in all areas, great job (Y)...and the ending was really cool too, im impressed :)
The guitarist wasn't bad and neither was the drummer ( he kinda jazzed up the song) but the guitarist does need a bit of work and i think the drums were a bit too loud in places. but other than that good job!
you guys were awesome!!!!!! i'm a bassist myself, and the bass player was awesome!!! i loved the ride cymbal pattern the drummer does....great job guys
Now I mean this in the kindest of ways...the guitarist ruined it. He had some tonal issues considering this is a Rush song (impossible to emulate Alex), he had a tendency to scratch his strings at the end of every bass solo (and that bassist was killing it too i wanted to hear that), plus the downward scale on the B string at the end of the solo is always all hammers and pulls,tremolo picking it takes away the character. Maybe I'm just too old school...he's a good player just needs to study Alex
just happened upon this. Funny what you find when you're looking for something else. Hidden treasures. Thumbs up boys. Kudos to the one who put it together!
WOW, nuthin but smiles ! ! ! ! Nice medley ending. First time checking out virtual bands on yo tube. This song is awsome. You guys did it justice ! ! ! Keep it up. what countries are you al from ? ?
Virtual bands are awesome, is a limitless option to play with mates all over the world, dont need rehearsal schedule and never fight with partners among other advantages...music is everything.
Rush es una banda con arreglos muy complejos y difíciles de emular... este es un muy buen trabajo, y encima de eso el que cada colaborador hizo su parte a "control remoto" lo hace más impresionante... ¡excelente interpretación del YYZ!
no sabia que son colombianos que tremendo,vivo en florida tampa.son todos parte de un grupo.han visto el video de agamez ? que buenos musicos en colombia feliz
Hola, gnosissamael. Mil gracias por tu comentario. En realidad, Daniel grabó la batería en su casa en Brasil, Sérgio la guitarra en Portugal y yo el bajo y teclado en mi casa en Bucaramanga, Colombia. Desde luego el trabajo puede ser aún mejor, pero de todas formas pienso que esta es una muestra de la maravilla que es Internet. Quién hubiera pensado hace 20 años que 3 amigos que nunca nos hemos visto en persona pudiésemos hacer música interactuando "a control remoto". ¡De nuevo gracias!
je trouve que votre tribute collectif de YYz est absolument géniale et que vous devriez éssayer de faire ensorte que la basse et la guitare soient mieu entendu sinon rien à dire c tout simplement parfait!!! (sorry I'm french =s)
Wow, I had talked about doing something like this with our Digital Men project but you guys pulled it off! Cool idea with the split screen and great playing. Looking forward to more!
I was watching Virtual Zep and wondered if there was a Virtual Rush and here you are! Good job, except I think the guitar is a bit flat or the bass is sharp? Awesome!
it's a nice cover but that hi-hat makes some bad noise
I don't know if it's the camera being too close to it but I didn't like it's sound
