Hello there Fernando,

Thanks for the review and kind words on this tune.
I am not into punk rock stuff all that much, but I liked this one, and so here it is. I'll do another one so you can try and sing to it if you want to as I said in an earlier e-mail.

Take care and thanks again,
Randy

Hi there MCLA,

Thanks for reviewing my track and your great comments and suggestions.
As for the guitar plugging in sound/noise....yes it was deliberate as I changed guitars and thought it would add more to a live feel.
Thanks for your review and I will check out your page as well.

Randy

Hi Firebird,
I appreciate the nice review. This was one of my earlier songs from 2008, and I enjoyed putting this one together. I do blues, country and rock mostly.
Thanks again for taking the time to send me a review...everyone counts.
Randy

Hello there,
Thanks a lot for reviewing this punk tune. I am glad you enjoyed it as much as I had fun putting it together.
I'll get over to your page and give a listen to whats new with your music.
Thanks again,
Randy

Hi BigPete,
I see you are you are following me around. I did this tune back in December. I wanted to try something different, so I came up with this. I used some loops as the header says, but it was still fun arranging it.

I think I might have told you I am working on a Blues/funk tune now that should be done by the end of the month. No wine before its time as they say.

Glad you enjoyed it and thank goodness for the featured section as my songs get more chances to be heard.
Randy

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for checking this Punk tune out. I have a bunch of loops for these type of songs. I like adding in my own material though so as to make it 'mine'.

Vocals would be a welcome addition.
50 downloads...? Wow, guess I should check back more often within my own tracks.

Thanks again for the nice comments.
Randy

Hi ya WhiteSands,

Thanks a lot for reviewing this tune. I already left you feedback yesterday of one of your tunes.

I appreciate your kind words, and perhaps we can do a collab someday. At the moment, I am working alot and don't get things done as much as I should.

Thanks again for the review.
Randy

Hello Helven,

Haven't heard from you in a long time, but that is okay...there are so many good artist on here, no one can get to them all. Over 130,000 members and over a 100 joining each day...it seems!

Glad you liked this tune as far as this Punk one. Someone said here, punk bands don't play this well. Ha Ha. I don't know as I never played punk myself. To me, it was just a tune I wanted to try.
I can do several more I suppose, but it depends on my mood I guess.

This was made from one of the many loop disk I have.
Basically you put loops together like a puzzle and then adjust everything to make it soumd good.
I always try and buy 24 bit loops if I can as they are better quality and then bounce-to-disk back to 16 bit for CD's.

I do play guitar on many of the tunes I put up or bass, and put in drums...whatever I want in the tune.

Sorry about the long replies, but I like to explaining things so young musicians such as your self can hopefully learn something from me.

Thanks for the review,
Randy

Hello there AudioFiend,
Thanks a lot for your review. I will check out one of your tunes today for sure.
I like this tune a lot plus the last one I just put up, Rock My World. To me, that is what rock should sound like.

Your right, you don't need blazing notes to make a tune. Just the right placement I think counts and expression as you say.

I've always wondered if a person using FL's could make a tune like this? Not sure what you use, but I'd say any top end software package should be able to create a sound like this tune.

Just playing the rhythm twice into 2 separate channels makes a big difference...one panned hard left, and one panned hard right.
Plus effects, compression, etc.

Thanks again for the review, I appreciate it very much,
Randy

Hi ya Seroksaty,
Thank you as well for reviewing my latest tune.
It is for people like you that appreciate music I made songs for.

I will review one of your songs in return.
Again, thanks for the nice comments,
Randy

Hello Rei,
Haven't heard from you in awhile. Am glad you came by and listened to another tune I arranged. These are the type of tunes I like, the sound, the chords, everything actually. Makes me feel good inside when I am done....I guess like the red wine your speaking of?

I had fun putting this together and hearing all the reviews thus far, just makes it all the more worthwhile to me in the end. So I am happy that it makes you also want to grab your guitar and jump in and play along. Means I have done my part.

I check out a ton of loops before I decide on which ones have the potential to fit together for an idea I have in my head, if I am not making a tune of my own from scratch.

Of course on all of mine, I use a drum set from Betamonkeymusic.com. This isn't a plug for them, but all their drums are recorded live and sound so real.
I never did get around to buying a drum machine like others have once I got those.

I have another tune simular to this I am working on and it will have more a rhythm section in it so people can play along easier and add in their own lead. I know poeople like to do that including myself, so we'll see what happens.

But that won't be for a couple weeks...or before the end of this year. I am not the type that can do a song overnight! I take my time and try to do it right so I can be proud of showing it off to the world. Afterall, my name is on it!
Thanks again Rei,
Randy

Hello there Spektre,

Nice of you to stop by and give my latest tune a listen to. I appreciate your comments and like it that you and some others can't find anything meaningfully wrong with the tune.

I am not perfect and make numerous mistakes making songs. But with software, that is its beauty, you can edit them out, or do re-takes.

Most songs I ever hear on the radio seem to be flawless. That is what I shoot for, and I believe all it takes is a frame of mind and an ongoing developing skill. I learn more with each song I do.

If my tunes inspire others to do as well or better than a 64+ year old guy, than that's a plus.
Thanks again,
Randy

Hi Dave.
My favorite bass player on here! Glad you liked it and I appreciate your comments. I know your a discriminating player that can tell good from bad. :-)
I basically like Country, Blues and Rock. I consider Punk a slight diversion from rock and thus as long as it isn't screaming unitelligible vocals, I'll play it.

My step daughter is 15 and she can't believe a nearly 65 year old man can still rock with the rest.
Just look at the 'Rolling Stones', they look really old, but man do they still put on a show!!

I am trying to get one of my older dsughters that DJ's at a 'Goth' type bar on weekends, to play some of my rock songs, she is still a little afraid to as they might not like that type.

Thanks Dave for you review...always like hearing from you. Will review another of your songs and the others who left reviews here, as that is the fair way to do things.
Randy

Hello there DJ,

Want more punk into it?...I can probably deliver, but what I won't play/record is very loud trash type metal. That is not my style.
To my ears it is just loud screaming so you can't hear the vocals, and its no fun for me to listen to.
But I can and will make some more 'tame' punk rock tunes shortly. :-)
Glad you liked it and thanks again,
Randy

Hey Boson,
Thanks for checking out my lastest tune. Glad you enjoyed it. I have a lot of fun with loops. Like putting a puzzle together.
I'll check out some of your tunes tomorrow and give a review back.
Thanks again,
Randy
