Some of the songs I recorded at the studio. These are the unmastered versions of 4 out of 9 of the songs I recorded. They'll be mixed sometime later this month, and I'll put those up if anyone likes these. I'd really appreciate feedback, don't be afraid to say they suck. They're all cover songs.

Where the Streets Have No Name - Is this Vanessa? Cause it sounds exactly like Vanessa's recording. Are you singing along to Vanessa? Cause it sounds like you're just sining along to Vanessa's recording. Your voice sounds good though.

C'est La Vie - There was a really bad note. "Can you se my fire red" or whatever the lyric is. You're voice sounds good, but again..... reinvent the song. It makes it more interesting. Good job, though.

Annie - Again, it's the exact same thing as Vanessa. It's good... but if I wanted to hear it, I'd rather hear Vanessa sing it (no offense). If you changed the arrangement around a little more, it'd be hot. Your voice sounds really good, though.

Letterbomb - Interesting choice. This is my favorite Green Day song. So I was reallt worried, to be honest. You can't hear the guitars for the first part of the intro. You can hit some really low notes. I like it, I guess.

annie and Streets are the best ones definitely. streets is really good.

C'est la Vie is hard specialy when she sings "oh if you could see....perfect harmony" to skip one octave up fast is hard so I understand that it´s hard to hit those notes.

But overall those are great=)

When u say cover songs, u REALLY DO MEAN COVER SONGS, what you have done is illegal, and unmusicianship like.

"Streets Have No Name" sounds really like Vanessa, although I don't think it is her. You have done a really good job on that song! The verses are really good, but where the chorus' comes in, you should work on that bit

..

"Annie" sounds a little off-course, but that's just because it's a hard song to do. If I tried to sing "Annie", I reckon I would mess it up completely! You have done a good job considering though!

It's only illegal if she's selling it, or performing it.

It's illegal to overdub tracks, selling or performing it is how u get caught.

It's only illegal if I'm making money off of it without the artists' permission, and neither I nor anyone I know personally has tried to make money off of the songs with me singing them. I know you think it's crappy musicianship, but I only had 10 hours of studio time, no guitar skill whatsoever, no band, and I'm not a pro on piano, so I decided to use this as a stepping stone. I still haven't written any of my own songs yet, but I have lyrics without music, so at least I'm gettin somewhere. Also, I really appreciate you guys listening to the songs. I know I really suck, but hopefully I'll get better.

what r u talking about, you copied it without the artist's permission, then you edited it without the artists permission illegal

You're right, it is copyright infringement, but it's so minor the originators don't care unless you are making money off of it. Playing someone's songs is just like when people draw fan art. There's really nothing wrong with it because people do that all the time. I love playing Vanessa's songs myself. Are you saying it's bad just because she recorded it?

Anyway, I'd love to listen to your songs but the links didn't work for me. I think your file has expired.
