Hope you enjoy.

Also, once I get a pair of sticks, I might do drum tracks, using a school desk. Everyone knows the variety of sounds you can make with it, so I figured "Why not?" considering I have one

Too clean...you need a distortion pedal!

Actually, that was interesting...your timing is getting better (did you get a metronome or use a click track, or were you just trying harder?)

Punk rhythms are so raw and sparse, the timing makes or breaks the whole song...but I could see this as a "kids turning on the bully and chasing him through the alleys" film sequence soundtrack...very cool, keep going!

Well, I kinda made it a tune for a song about skipping school. I played it right next to the saddle with tone at 2 with a touch of reverb.

As for the timing, just me trying harder.

Not sure if joke. If you didn't like it, come out an say it, and say what was wrong with it. I like criticism over a joke, because I can actually improve over criticism.

It was a joke brother. It reminded of an old SNL skit.

I like it!

Ahhh, I've heard that joke before, but it was in a negative way. Thanks for clarification.

Are you really looking for criticism?

He seeks constructive criticism.

If you think it's lousy and has no redeeming value, maybe it would be best to remain neutral...although he's a big boy and has fairly thick skin, so whatever you think.

If you have pointers or a comment that can help improve his performance, let 'er rip.

Yes, constructive criticism. Sort of like what SA does, only slightly more negative.

OK, here's a bit more direct:

Work on your timing. There's a couple of spots it dragged. You can get away with that with blues or even lead guitar in rock, but not in the rhythm lines of a punk song.

Constructive but blunt...is that what you want?

Yea, and look up live performances from The Germs. Off time has never been so amazing. That's not what I'm going for, but that's what makes punk rock diverse.

I liked it, but then i grew up listening to the Sex Pistols, Ramones, Buzzcocks, Siouxsie And The Banshees, The Damned and all those great punk bands. It was cool.

George Van Eps.

I've been listening to The Ramones practically since the day I was born
