Alright, constructive criticism. Remove the second over-dub of the guitar. They aren't synced correctly and it just sounds like an attack of a bunch of notes. Slow down the tempo a bit, you're going a touch too fast. Add a little pause after the main riff. It's very short, but there and it really changes the sound off the song. Project your voice more. You're not really singing, your kind of talking. Belt out when you sing, it helps you reach higher octaves.

Admittedly, I suck at singing, but it's improved a LOT since i've been practicing a bit. I find that projecting my voice helps me sing better. You sound like you're singing an octave low, it really detracts from the power of the song, in my opinion. Anyway, good effort but it's still rough around the edges. Hope this helps. Oh, and don't be ashamed of trying to sing. Most people suck and don't even try to work on it.

the 2nd one is off? there are 2 backups and at one point (after the 2nd 2 chorus's) the one backup plays a different riff... but the rest should be perfectly matched.

Maybe the levels are just different or something. It's sounds garbled with the dubs. I think it'd sound better single channel. Personally.

Hey praisedave, if I make a video showing you where the pause is in The Stone, could you host it for me perchance? I just got a new digi cam and want to try to record with it, but have no where to post the vids.

Ok, my turn let see.

Guitar: 9/10, you really need one guitar man, dont over do it. a lead is nice, but dont over do it.

Vocal: 4/10, well i can tell you that you have a decent speaking voice, but youre not singing. Practice the do re mi, sing the scale. Move your octave up. Its really low on your speaking tone right now. Add emotions. Add volume changes. Importantly, add rhythm.

i know harder to do it than to say it, but i think at some point, you will get there. overall, not bad. tough song.

no problem man.
swede thinks im a stuck up overconfident asshole that doesnt listen to criticism. i dont blame him entirely because its hard to show tone of voice over the internet, so he may have misinterpretted some of my posts.
