Dude. This is fucking great.
Your music seems to be getting better and better.
This is way better than Manson’s current output.
You sound sort of like a cross between Barker and Manson.
I reckon ya should’ve started this band when you were writing songs like this. Wouldn’t have hurt to wait.
Don’t get me wrong, songs like MWAT were catchy and had some good ideas, but this is streets ahead of it.
Perhaps a reworking of MWAT and some of the older songs is in order?
Really love the guitar and bass sounds you’ve got going there. Sounds fucking amazing.
Not sure if the guitar solo at end was absolutely necesarry, but at least it was short and ended well.
Oh, and the piano section after it was fucking great.
Wow thanks for your comments man. Yeah Barker is a big influence. With the verses I wanted to do something like a ‘Dark Side of the Spoon’ vibe musically.
As for the guitar solo, it is meant to reflect the theme of the song i.e. cocaine-infused cock rock noodling like a typical hair metal bullshit solo. We wanted to fuck around more with this one. It’s actually two unrehearsed takes layered.
The thing with the band was I have only been doing music for a few years. So in college the band was my first time really collaborating with anyone.
We sounded much better live by the time we really gelled, but the recordings were never up to snuff because I didn’t really know how to produce yet and we never recorded the live drums, bass and some of the guitar parts that we were doing live (lack of capabilities, time etc.).
Now the band is disbanded since I graduated Syracuse and Nursing Home is back to just me and a long distance collaboration with our former keyboardist and this new guitarist whose a childhood friend. All the keyboardists contributions to “Killing an Arab” and “Cocaine Cliche” for instance, were done in one session in Delaware.
I’m going to use these 3 new songs (I have one more coming) along with some radically updated versions of the old stuff as a demo to attract members for a new Nursing Home Band.
