I wont comment on what you have recorded so far as i think they could be seen as early early......early.... early....early demos. Just keep working it. Fine tune your playing skills, work on your voice. Dont waist time here warranting why this is that and whats what. Juts get your ass back on the chair and keep playing and aim for getting better. Focus on your waek points and improve them. Its like anyhting man, dont sell your self to short.

Donny Mars wrote: you guys are comparing me to my influences, which is unfair. if you compare me to myself, I will accept your CONSTRUCTIVE critisism, tell me which of my songs is better than the others, don't tell me I suck. for instance, if you like the acapella vibes of Goodnight Gorgeous, but dislike the headache making drums of Mountain Momma, then I need a real drummer. so the heck what? I understand that I need a band to do anything better than what I did with say, Blame Game. I need to learn guitar, I need to bribe my gay drummer friend to help me, I need a bassist. my ex-girlfriend (best friend's current girl) wants to drum for me, which leaves my gay friend at either Bass (he'd have to learn) or Piano (he already knows). the girl is gonna leave the band right away anyway, she is trying to form a girl band with some of our buds. I am talking out of order and not making anysense. maybe I could convince them to turn the girl band into a 4 girls and a guy band. how does Donny Mars and the Unruly Youth sound?

It was not CREEPY - it was ART. You people just don't have the intellectual capacity for complex visual metaphors and good vibrations. ;p

<font color=red>The Audacity of Charles wrote: I gave you "constructive criticism". The fact that I found nothing to like doesn't mean I didn't look at the "music" objectively. I have even told you what you can try to do to fucking improve. You offend me so god-damn much because I'm a person who WANTS to learn more about music - who wants to work my ass off to get better. I would LOVE to have someone tell me what I could be doing better, but I'm not vain enough to post a "lookatme!" thread (and even if I did, it would be more along the lines of "PLEASEHELPME"). I'm just going to continue singing, try my hardest, LISTEN to what other people have to say... and in general try to get better. You REALLY need to work on your music skills. You seem to go off-key a lot. Work with scales, get to know your voice (breaks, registers, strengths, weaknesses) and a piano (you can learn scales on a piano unless you're missing two hands). Then again, I don't know what you call it if there wasn't really a "key" to begin with. Also, learn about the parts of a song - "noise made by instruments" is not always synonymous with "music". Also - there are different ways to write music. Some people work in groups and rely on the drummer to "fill in" the drums or whatever. Then there are people who write music for instruments they themselves may have little to no proficiency in. It's about knowing about music (chords, o my ! Melody, gasp ! Coda... o fuck !!!). I know you're young. I thought great things about myself when I was your age. But you know what - the sooner you figure out that you were not born (nor is anyone) "the next best thing" or "really great" - the sooner you can start working and actually improve and perhaps even obtain proficiency. People have been complimenting my "art" since it was stick figures. People tell me it's great now. People tell me I should go on that crap "American Idol" show. But I've seen my "art", I've heard myself recorded - and I'm not an idiot, I have a long way to go and I'm willing to work to get there and not think that I'm a golden canary just because someone complimented me.

I would like you hear you ! And I would try to be constructive (I don't know as much as I would like). ;p And... in my experience, it's just that people don't know what they mean by "good" (as in not just "better than a lot of people I hear a lot when I'm in the car with them can sing") - and are afraid of hurting someone's feelings. I also mostly sing around people who find it impressive that I can read music and very slowly plonk something out on the piano. : p Maybe I'll record my cat yowling into the mic ! No one would ever know the difference ! D: I REALLY WISH MY CAT WOULD GO BOTHER SOMEONE ELSE.

Next song!", So I complied, and the next song started, and he complained. "I said change the song!". The first two are that similar. Really! But I can't be too harsh. I would never say to any musician to give up, simply because it'd shit me if someone said that to ME on one of my Youtube videos or whatever. I guess I can only say (if you're serious) 'keep trying'. And if it was just a put-on, then.... you're funny!

Donny Mars wrote: Thinking about the differences between Sing a Lullaby and Blame Game, SAL seems to show what I was like when I first discovered Queen. Blame Game was written when I had not heard anything new in a long time. My voice had a light, almost falsetto feel on SAL. If I did the falsetto with say, Angel, I might sound more desirable.
