General Music Chat

Pete and I finished mixing and mastering my cover of King Crimson's "Red" last night. I added some additional bass overdubs and revisited the middle section's rhythm guitar. Mike and I started this process over a year ago. I just posted it on my RUI Musik site's player, check it out. www.bandmix.com/ruimusik

I have to qualify first & to be honest Jimmy, I just don't like this song.

The playing recording and mastering are quite professional.

Job well done.

Jimmy the playing is great, the recording too.
I have to agree with Sans,, I don't like that song.

Perfectly acceptable, most of KC's music is for most people unapproachable. I firmly believe that you shouldn't make music for the masses but for a very select audience. And just for the record, Crimson fans are steadfast and loyal to the point of obsessiveness. I know because I'm one.

Totally dig it Jimmy! Yes I am a fan of the Crimson. Back in the day we used to warm up with Lark's Tongues Pt2 just to "clear the mechanism".

Very cool Johnny! Lark's Tongues is a masterpiece.

I LOVE instrumentals. If you can make a statement with an instrumental then you've arrived as a guitarist. I was in a band years ago that did a bunch of them. Really cool stuff Jimmy.

Thanks Bob. I have a CD worth of instrumental covers I call "No Vox" that includes:

No Matter What - Badfinger
Happy Together - The Turtles
Burning of the Midnight Lamp - Jimi Hendrix
California Dreaming - The Mamas and the Papas
Norwegian Wood - The Beatles
Killing Floor - Howlin' Wolf
Little Wing - Jimi Hendrix
Rock & Roll Pt III - Gary Glitter
Up Around The Bend - CCR
Europa - Santana
Red - King Crimson

Send me your address again and I'll send you one. jimmydanger56@yahoo.com

It's a brutal monsterpiece. It's the only KC song I know, literally! I love it. I can't believe it's that long and I don't tire of it. You are a monster guitarist and this is on par with your best work. Plus the messed up times make it even more impressive. You are a force and I am honored to have worked with you.

I am so ready for the challenge of "around the bend". sendspace me!

Thanks so much brother Paul! I've got to get in the studio to get you a "vocal ready" version of "Up Around The Bend". We rehearse tomorrow, I'll talk to Pete about it then.

Another collaboration ?


SWEET

Where is my little smiley rubbing his hands together with an evil grin?

LOL ... THAT'S THE ONE ...

Not my favorite music in the work jimmy, but you did a hell of a good job.
How many hours went into this piece?

That freaking rocks JimmyD! Great job on the both the musicianship and production aspects!
