RubberBandMethod's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[You don't wanna]

Power Blues!

Don't hear a lot of this stuff on Newgrounds, I fucking love it. The cigarette-lighting/zippo noise at 02:08 was pure gold, little things like that in a recording really set the atmosphere, and I think it was absolute genius to light a cigarette at that point in the song....I gotta say, I was expecting a guitar solo at that point, and if you guys ever remix this you should include a really smooth, bluesy solo at that point in the song, right after lighting the cig....like the guitar player is saying "Hang on, lemme light up before we get into the nitty gritty."

Lundsfryd responds:

I like the way you are thinking. We like this song as it is and have moved on but I would say as a live sort of gag then it would be pretty badass. Thanks for the 10. Really nice of you.

[Elisha's Theme]

Smooth

I don't think I've ever heard such a smooth, flawless recording here on NG. This intro feels very polished and smooth, like an Eric Johnson song. IMO, this would make a great full-length instrumental. Great job, I love it.

HagenColdfingers responds:

Ty :)

[Jammin' with myself]

Psychedelic

Cool shit man, I really dig the tones of the guitars, very psychedelic. Cool little jam, sounds like it was pretty fun to record.

inhstudios responds:

absolutely it was! :) so much fun.
and i didnt even finish, and plus i didnt fade out the drums like i planned and add more variation to the drum track like i planned.
:D hahahaha
whatever, i guess thats what blues is supposed to be, talented musicians being lazy and just having fun :)

[Triple Gear]

Great!

All I can say is...Top Gear, man!

[Walking Blues (RobertJohnson)]

Amazing!!!

Robert Johnson as well!!! Simply amazing, I'm speechless. What kind of tips would you give someone studying how to play this Delta blues style guitar playing?

BloodFest responds:

Thanks!
Well first you have to tune your guitar to Open G, is not mandatory but you'll get a cool sound. Also use a lot your slide, even if you're playing the standar 12 bar blues.
Practice is the key dude.

Cheers

[Wish You Were Here (PF Cover)]

Awesome

I've never been a fan of the "pre or post Syd" question. I think they're two different animals completely, and should not be compared. I think that everything Pink Floyd ever worked on is good in it's own way and reflects it's own mood and theme. From Piper to Division Bell, all of it was amazing. I really enjoy this little mellow jam, a different feel with the same familiar melody. Well done!

[Hey Jude - Big Red & BloodFest]

Don't listen to those idiots.

The posters below have no sense of personal style and musical ability. They immediately dismiss this song because it doesn't sound like the original. Their stuck in a certain mindset about this song and they refuse to let go of it. That being said, I'm not saying this song is perfect. The melody just feels like a building crescendo with no seperate parts....kind of repetitive. It's certainly not my favorite, but it's good nonetheless.

BloodFest responds:

hehe many thanks for your support.
Cheers

[-(TM)- Upgrade]

The very definition of Drum 'n' Bass

Lol, you should put this under "Drum 'n' Bass" because that's exactly what this is. I could think of some good guitar riffs that would go well with this. Anyway, not bad.

ThrasherMan responds:

Yea? Well, ok then!

[Throw out your wallets]

Another great Alex T. Boyle piece.

I can't remember the other piece I've heard with Mr. Boyle playing guitar in it, but I remember I liked it. This one's another great one, with some cool guitar riffs, and the vocals go well with this desert musc.

[Blues Sketch #2, "Death"]

Chilling, sends tingles down my spine.

This song gave me shivers. I would definately consider putting a nice mid-range sax. Not really sax solos, try to keep the focus on the piano. But have some nice, looooooooooooooong sax screams in there, just to add some emotion.
