....pointing out flaws in other peoples cover songs, I figured that I should pay the piper, and let you all hear some of the songs that I have managed to butcher.
No effects, no crap, just me, a cheap guitar, a keyboard, and an old school 8 track recorder (I can't stand faking it) link
Enjoy! Laugh! Heck, even a couple of Guffaws may be in order.
Peace.
Dude, you've actually got a pretty fine voice. My first instinct was to liken it to Brian May but you've got a bigger timbre to yours (if that's the right word??)
On 2nd thought I actually don't know who you sound like, and that's probably a good thing to be able to boast as a singer
Good work, seriously.
Wow...those are actually really good. I have to be honest and admit that I'm a bit shocked. The timber of your voice is really nice and you can put emotion into it without making it sound like you are struggling for the notes (or being strangled).
Good job!
DAN!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful!!!! Absolutey beautiful!!! Please please please let me know if you play anywhere local, I will def come see you!! All these years, we live so close and no meet up!
Keep the songs coming!!! I love it!
my god dan, that is the best cover of 'love of my life' i have heard so far!!!
bravo!!!
you have an excellent voice. it gives me hope that when i see people do covers that there are some good voices, and with quality 'cheap' equipment-which is something i cant hold a candle to, since im poor :)
and to have such patience to record the harmonies so well! im sincerely impressed.
again, bravo!!!
ive been sick, but iove wanted to do amy + mark ronsons version of 'valerie' and 'plush' by STP for fun :)
Again, thank you all for your kind comments. Yes, I do have a lot of fun. It helps keep me somewhat sane.
I would like to submit my cover of LOML to the stage of champions, but whom to I send it to?
Regarding originals, I'm not a writer. But, just give me the song and I'll sing it like I mean it. I'd like to be able to get into the right original project, provided, of course, someone could write good songs...ha!
To be completely honest, I thought it was Brian May on the LOML track XD seriously!! Don't laugh at me!!! Great voice Dan!!! Send this to Dr. Bri and see if he replies!! I love your voice, it's just amazing!!! If you make it big in the industry, remember where you came from!! (queenzone XD) Your are one of the only reasons I visit myspace and I don't even own one.
Dan....why in the hell have you not tried out for American Idol or something? I just listened to LOML bc it wasn't there before and it is...dare I say...better than Brian's version!!!!!!!!!! I'm fucking dead serious!!!!!
WOW WOW WOW...and WOW.
Quite nice Haystacks. I like it.
As others have said, there's a definite similarity in yours and Brian's voices, although yours generally sounds a bit more assured and comfortable than Bri's. And I too, again as others have said, was pleasantly surprised with I was hearing. You aren't what I expected.
A few suggestions if I may?...
- Replace the Em in Hallelujah with E. I presume you've heard Buckley's version of this song, and so I wonder why you opted against using the major version of the chord, as he did. For me, that E chord is the emotional pivot for the whole song, due to it's chromaticity.
- The whistling at the start of Patience...It needs sorting. I presume you know this, but in case you don't, it's very 'pitchy'. In fact, at times it almost sounds as if you're whistling in a different key altogether.
Other than that, good job fella.
I'm not a whistler, I has happy that sounded as good as it did..but you can't cover that song and NOT at least give it a go...and I'm not much of a guitar player, to be honest....farting around with songs is just a fun way for me to blow off steam.
I appreciate all the love, guys.

Then how come you are in a message board of a band that has a song called "Jesus"?
Don't hate Jesus. He loves you.
Even despite the fact that everybody else thinks you're an asshole.
