love this song

me, too :3

funny enough, it's meant to be a parody of this type of music. they just did it so well that it's awesome :P

This song Is WIN! I did my own little headbang session to this.. I just love it so much! and it's just as good as I remember it to be. Great Job! <3

-glomps- thanks ^^ glad you like! I was worried I wouldn't be able to give it the umph of the original, but it turns out, at least according to the waveform, I surpassed it :o

<3

Waveform? Well, in terms of the general sound of the music, the flow, and style, it all seems to be just as good... there's times where it's just a Smidge different from the original... but those sparks of individuality are what truly make it original. ^.^

*glomps back* and, with this song, it's hard not to love it. ^.^

I looooove this song, I've always wanted to do it. Playing is perfect.

If you wanted to get it closer to that gnarly hairy sound, split that bass into two tracks and make one hairy with some distortion. The drums make them a bit hotter by cranking the mids on them a bit and at just the slightest bit of overdrive to them too just to make them sound like they're overworking the mics. Funny thing is, in the orignal the bass has way more distortion and volume than the guitars in the choruses.

Awwwesome job though. Next time you are doing something like this, get me in on it!

-glomps- :D

The drums -are- overdriven :P And they're EQ'd individually as well as all together. I'm not good at EQing them, so with a few exceptions I kept the EQ defaulted as the program set them. You should be online more so I can get your EQ help :3
I noticed about the bass. I didn't think to double it, but they did up the distortion during the last bit of the chorus. Too much treble in the distortion, and I was getting some nasty noise, though.

Define "something like this." :3

"something like this" = "epic 90s rock covers"

I'm almost tempted to get your raw files and have a go at remastering it, like some snobby sought after mid 90s producer redoing a single. The bass doesn't need more treble it needs more hairiness, it sounds like a big muff on it, but there's also a clean direct to board signal on it too. It's deadly.

I dunno if I'll be doing more, but I'll try to let you know... Actually, the next one I have to record is the pillows' "Hello! Welcome to Bubbletown's Happy Zoo," but I don't know if that's what you mean :P

Right, but the distortion in the song emphasizes a higher frequency, is what I meant. I chose not to distort it more because I liked the way it sounded without it. I'm not good at EQing, so it was muddying up the guitars instead.

Anyway, I only recorded it to set it up for a live show :3

It sounds awesome just the way it is anyhow. I like it a lot. I should probably have been more assertive about that.

Also I love the pillows! I'd love to break a piece off of that.

That's cool :3 I'll probably take your suggestions into deeper consideration when it comes time to mix for the concert and I'm playing with it again. Right now, it's sort of like, "I'm done now. I'm not changing it." Even if I sound uninterested, I always take those sorts of things into consideration :3 Critique is always appreciated :3

How would we go about it? :3 I'll be playing the guitar live, unless you want to grab the lead part, which isn't very pronounced in that particular piece. I could use some help EQing and mixing, though :D We'll talk ^^

I can do pretty much anything you want me to. I'm pretty handy if I do say so myself.

Buck I think this is the first song I listend to of yours since we been friends for what almost 4 years now? x3

that's not true <3

-glomps- thanks for the fave!

wait your right and np hun *counter glomps* :3

you never cease to amaze me

-glomps- ^__^

I will play as many obscure things as i can! Friggin fans always wanting things.
It's a good reproduction but I always like to see covers be farther away from the original. Throw in some weird instrument or do what I do and do it a capella.
Still nice to listen to.

Well, the point of this piece is to parody what Blur saw in American music at the time. They were making fun of the grunge genre, but they did it so well that everyone loved it. That story serves me well in my set to transition into another song, so it works to keep it in tact.

Also, since I'm just playing guitar and singing with the rest as backing track (for lack of a better alternative), nifty things like a capella don't serve me well. This style works well with my set, too.

Furthermore, I'd rather focus my creative energies more on original works than on covers. I only have a little over a month to prepare. This cover is for playing to entertain; it's not really a creative endeavor as much as something that's fun to sing and play and hear. It was also an exercise in distortion. I was surprised I could make the Line 6 things in Record worth anything, so I'm greatly encouraged now ^^

That said, if I were going to cover something as a project, I would change things up. I won't have it done in time for the contest  furrymusicians is holding, but I'm doing a rock cover of Paula's theme from Earthbound, even changing chords and adding lyrics. I'm all about making a cover my own, but this is not a chance to do it.

I hope that makes sense. I'm down with your views on covering songs, but this isn't really the time to play around with other people's music when I have such a small amount time to put together an hour-long set. This isn't the focus, it's just for fun :3

woah! its okay i understand! I just didn't want to say like "nice job"
I want to do "mosquito song" in the style of just for fun. Do you know queens of the stone age?

It's cool :3 Someone else said the same thing, so I figured I'd explain myself where everyone could see it :P

I do not know a lot about Queens of the Stone Age, but I'm eager to learn :3

Crazy good band. If you want to check them out, I'd start with the album "songs for the deaf" Mosquito song is on there and so is "noone knows"
You may see their influence in my next thing.

"No one knows" is a guitar hero song . LOL

-glomps- thanks :3

The guitar was a bit untuned , But man ... great cover ! sounds like the original ! great vocal work. the song is getting old and boring though. and it was never a really blowing song anyway.

well, as I mentioned before, the point of this piece was to parody what Blur saw in American music at the time. They were making fun of the grunge genre, but they did it so well that everyone here loved it x3

if you liked 'child,' you might like some of their later stuff as Damon Albarn started working on his Gorillaz project.

thanks for the comments ^^

It sounds as good as the Original. You got very, very close.

But... thats kind of my little problem with it. I wouldn't notice the difference if I heard this without explanation. I would prefer if you'd done this in your own style, wich I like pretty much. I think that would open up a new perspective of a really great song.

But still: Awesome song, perfectly executed, good work. Love it.

thanks, mate :3

I explained a few things on PepperCoyote's comment a bit above as to why I chose to do it this way.

Ah, sorry, I must have overlooked that. Makes pefectly sense.

Woo-hoo!

Pleased to meet you.

this cover is the closest to the actual song ive ever heard! :D WOOT!!!!

-glomps- glad you liked it ^^

I didn't get a chance to comment earlier when I favorited this, but I think this is spot on with the sound and energy of the original. Good stuff!

-glomps- thanks ^^

I'm hesitating to say... I might like your version better than the original.

I love Blur, especially their last 3 albums, but Sing 2 was never one that I particularly loved. I think I like their original version better now too because of this.

Your voice is pretty great. x3

-glomps- yay favs!

It's a lovely sort of irony this song has :3

I fixed up the mixing on InkBunny, if you care to compare :3

And thanks :3 I'm always nervous about my vocals :P

I'm understanding it a bit more now I guess.

Well, your vocals are better than some bands I've heard. XD

heh heh, thanks :3 I think they're better on the other version, but that's my own preference :3

Well I like his voice usually, but on this song yours seems to fit better, hehe.

^___^

I know it's 8 years old but this is the best sounding cover I have ever heard, great job!

Hahaha thanks ^^
