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

Here is my latest video from the MN State Fair in the Grandstand! This was recorded with two cameras, but only one really turned out. I included a bit from the "bad" one at the beginning so you could see the awesome view of the stage and the 10,000+ crowd!

It was a blast playing there! I mixed in a bit more of the backing track again for a slightly better sound, but my guitar is all from the live performance.

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.

@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...

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...

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. :)

[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.

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!

[MeerwaserPat]

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

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]

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

[Genmills]

@Ziece4 Then I have achieved success! :D
