Steelers Fans who are musicians thread

Dude let me hear something.

 

I'm not set up right now to record... but I plan to get back into it this year. New Year's resolution.

 

What about older stuff you already recorded??

 

I'll have to dig it out.... that stuff is on CD. In storage. I haven't listened to CDs in years.

 

Easy enough to transfer. I'm curious.

 

When I get time... I'll find a free music hosting site and upload some songs.

 

With my old music, I just put a CD in the computer drew some stick figures, and posted it to YouTube.
Like this I wrote this in 1986, but re-record in 2000 onto a CD. And a few years ago I did what I said, and made a stick figure video. LoL

 

Sounds great. Guitar is raw, bluesy... very cool!

 

Thanks. It Very old, like I said its from 1980s, but every thing was re-recorded on a old boss 1600 when it first came out in the late 90s, or 2000. I played all the guitars, and lead vocals, and My buddy did all the Bass, drums, and backup vocals.
I don't write anything like that anymore.

 

I found some data discs with mastered wave files on it. See if this works... this is a sample of music from bands and recording projects I was in from 1994 through 2007. I only played bass on Fallen and Scarlet Sins... but most of the other songs, I sang, played guitars and bass. The drums were provided by the drummer in my band "The Sky Remembers." I programmed some of the drum tracks.

Some of these songs were recorded on my Tascam 4-track Minidisc recorder in the late 90's. And some were on my recorded on my Digital Audio Workstation from early to mid 2000's.

That first one is giving me heavy Sid Barret Floyd vibes.

 

I have written quite a few, but I have a couple of originals uploaded here:

https://soundcloud.com/user-463407720

The first one listed is just a tone test for a Megadeth song so nothing to see there, but the 2nd and 3rd are originals. There are words for Most Beautiful, but my wife never likes me sharing the one with lyrics (she wants to keep it personal) so I made an instrumental version that is the one on that page. Into the Eye of Harmony is an instrumental track that I wrote when I was about 14 (1986) and finally recorded about 8 years ago.

The 4th one is a cover of Ain't Talkin' Bout Love that me and my brother recorded years ago.

 

Cool delay effect on that Eye of Harmony. Ain't Talking 'Bout Love was VH's answer to punk rock in late 70's! Nice tones and guitar work.

 

Piper at the Gates of Dawn album was underrated, IMO. It wasn't better or worse than what Floyd would evolve into... just different.

For the younger amongst us... 4 of those are covers:

Starfish & Coffee is Prince from Sign O the Times album
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm is Crash Test Dummies song from '94
Breakup Song is Greg Kihn Band
Peg is Steely Dan

The rest are originals either completely or co-written by me.

 

So far I only listen to Calm before the Storm, and Starfish, and Coffee.
I freaking dug Calm Before the Storm, It will take a bit to get used to the remake of Starfish, and Coffee because I'm so used to Prince doing it.
Again I dug everything about CBtS. I will listen to more when I get more free time. Well done My Friend.

 

Very Cool, but whats up with both of You , and @HeinzMustard having Alien in Your names???
Is it coincidence??

 

Thanks. I used Alien Artifact title for all past bands and projects. Keeps it simpler.

 

Here is one I did complete by myself a fee years back, but because I don't have a computer anymore, I used someone else laptop to make the stick figures. LoL.
All still recorded on the Boss 1600, I don't have any other way to record.
If You read, or watched The Game of Thrones, You will get the references. I was a fan of the Greyjoys, and hated how the show did them injustice.
I played, and sung everything, except the drums. Sorry most of my stuff has long intros before the words start. LoL.

 

I started using that when I was much younger and came up with a combination of Alien and Linux (I used to use that over Windows primarily), so I came up with alienux.

 

I want to hear the Fire Tomlin diddy.

 

ne'r a song titled

WE'RE DOOMED
