This is a song I've been working on for a few weeks now. It's nearing completion- all that needs to be written is the solo, all that needs to be recorded is the solo, the rhythm part under it, and the outro. It's metal, with some influences between other types of hard rock. Does it rock? Does it suck? Do you not care for it? VOTE! This is Spirit of the Machine, by Eternal Pain Solution.

Well I generally don't care for metal (or screamo :P) at all, but I must say, this shit is pretty good! :lol: You really made that?

I don't really care for the drums, which I'm sure is a drum machine.  They're kind of plain for the most part, and don't really fit with the music.

[/drum geek]

Otherwise isn't bad.  None of the above poll choices really apply.  It's just OK, and I don't not care for it.

Oh,  probably should've made a poll option for that then :)

Yeah, it's a drum machine, and I'm not a drummer, so I'm not the best at coming up with drum parts.

I'm not the best at coming up with guitar parts either.  I can come up with melodies, but I sure as hell can't play them.  I miss working with my old buddy Travis, we used to connect pretty well.  He's just been so busy with soul-sucking work lately.  :(

Do you have the raw guitar parts of this by chance?  Maybe I can come up with some better drums and record it to send to you or something.  Would be a while before I could get over to Travis' mini-studio, but might be something cool.

Yeah, sure, all I'd have to do would be mute the drum track in Audition and mix it down. I'm trying to figure out why my router is screwy right now, and I'm on my neighbor's until then (with which I don't have the bandwidth to upload anything), but I'll upload that whenever I can. Real drums =  MUCH > drum machine, and I'm sure as an actual drummer you could come up with much better drum parts as well.

I can't promise anything, but I might give it a shot.  :)

Yes! I'm a bit of a metalhead and I think this song rocks. It just comes at you with riff after riff, trying to decapitate you with it's riffy goodness.

As digital nomad says, a real drummer can't be beaten, but apart from that I can't wait to hear the finished version.
