View Full Version : Taking Back Sunday - New American Classic cover
Did a quick cover of it today, could be better but I can't be bothered to do it again to be honest. Maybe another day, but here it is

Okay - First of all, i have to say i love this song...
The vocals need a little work. The guitaring is pretty tight. I do prefer TBS version -This could be down to the recording quality though...
I'd give it 7/10 - Not bad, not great...
I don't mean to sound like a sadass when I say this, but I'm quite proud of the fact that I did it all live. But I know my vocals need a little work, and the bridge was a bit bad. It was all done with one mic, so I can't really do much about that
But thanks for the feedback

Very nice. I haven't heard the original, though I've heard plenty of TBS and I enjoy them. Your voice sounds great IMO and quite similar to TBS's vocalist. I agree with you about the bridge though, it needs a little work. Other than that, great job.

Why not just say it out in the open?

I didnt really like it ... not that it was bad ... the song just wasnt very appealing to me. I dont really like any of TBS's new stuff ... and I also havent heard that song before.The guitar was good, vocals werent bad ... I just didnt like the song. Thats not your fault though, It's TBS's.

Your voice was really annoying, I'd suggest never singing again. Good work on the guitar though.

Sorry, I didn't think that was very good at all. The guitar wasn't very fluent at some parts and your voice is kinda whiny. I'm sure can get rid of the whiny-ness in your voice though. Keep workin.

vocals sound promising, you have potential.
and im not going to tell you they need work... because i'm pretty sure you already know that

well i dont mean to be an ***, the vocals where pretty good. But the guitar, i think you played the chorus with a pick, and they dont, also the part at the end the solo part, you played the right notes and everything, you just didnt exactly play them the right way. try playing along with the cd, that works the best to get the rythme down. other then that it was pretty good. id cover the song but i cant sing.

Hey Kif, that sounded great. It sounded very similar, and I think you have a great voice (fell short on alot of the held notes,keep working on it though, you have real potential). Good work.
And the vocals are better that 99.9% if the singers on here, you can actually sing, which is refreshing.
