Some "Old Farts"...can still rip your head off!

[Downfall]

Sounds old and not in a good intended way.

Don't be such a tweeb.

everything sounds old

I like that version better than the "movie" version. God, I think I saw a Fender, a Diezel, and a Marshall all behind Neal, and was that an Ibanez RG he was playing? Sweet.

Hmmm, apart from a couple of bends I could not hear shit of Neal Schon's solo!

Hey, that Soto guy sounds just like Mark Wahlberg!

I love that song, great to see it actually performed live. They don't by any chance do We All Die Young?? That's my favourite song off Rockstar.

Soul Sirkus...

[slash-ed]

Another great tune from Soul Sirkus....Killer feel to it.
JSS sounds like a ballsier, edgier and more consistent Chris Cornell.

Haha, the bassline in that song is just asking for some Ingvay shred in between the vocal lines...

I'm alright with that song.

One can over embellish and kill the composition.
To tastefully, add to an already well written song takes skill,
it does but it doesn't...I think you kn ow what I'm saying.
This is good for creativeness, one can most certainly get some new material from it.
I know I have over the years.

However, if not careful one can kill the song very easily.
For one, an already well written song doesn't really need too much else added to it,
if anything at all from a composition/writing perspective.
Yes, a poorly or so so written song needs something added to it to help it.
So you fiddle around with it and see what you can do.

What am I getting at?

These songs in this thread aren't revolutionary.
One can't reinvent the wheel,
but one can take the wheel and do their own thing with it.

These tunes are a breath of fresh air if you will, in comparision to some if not most
of the horrendous and awful stuff thats been on radio for the last several years.
Old school sound? Depends who you talk to.

Even so, this stuff has a decent vibe to it to where I can actually listen to find the groove, the feel of the song without being annoyed with an eager and anxious guitarist over embellishing and killing the song with riffs/licks here and there.
Its simple and decent with a good vibe. I like it.

My ear hears spots when Schon could throw in a lick here and there, and live he may.
Remember, Schon isn't an inexperienced writer he definietly knows what to do with a song. Yes, its good to see him laying down some harder stuff than what we know him for. The lineup is definitely a killer lineup, and the guys are so much more capable of playing crazier stuff then what we are hearing in these tunes, thats a given.

[Hellraiser6502]

Yep

I agree....the best stuff leaves you wanting a little more.

These guys are definitely holding back for the overall benefit of the songs. Especially Schon.

But everything he played was spot on.

nah, definetly Donati... it was suprising to hear him play rock'n'roll

[Hellraiser6502]

Bah...Donuti is just doing what good drummers are supposed to do...play in the pocket, on-meter and go unnoticed

It's harder for guitar players to do that!

You ain't a lying that is so true.

Definitely a mark of a good song.

usually I would agree with that.... but when it comes to Donati.... umm... pocket and straight beat is the last thing you are gonna hear from him :ROTF:

[GodOfRhythm]

This is the FIRST thing I thought when listening to the song AND seeing Donati's name on it.

My facial expression must've been pretty picture worthy.

[sonicsamurai]

this is really quite awesome...

[KevinDguitar]

Nice.. real songs.. melodicism.. a vocalist that can actually sing.. THANKS for sharing!
