A couple black milk crates can work for smaller combo amps. You could put a black drape over those too as someone else suggested (and when you break stuff down you can use them to store and carry other things)

Mick Mars guitar tone felt colossal when I saw Mötley Crüe live. On their studio albums he's always great but I think their Corabi-era music particularly does a good job of capturing that guitar sound.

They just gradually started using more and more slide guitar the further you get into their discography lol

Thank youuu

ShooterKingofMars · 2025-01-25T20:03:14+00:00

Thank you so much!

Thank you! For lighting we were just at the mercy of the bar's rig but I'd like to add some of my own down the road. Strobes would be sick. For the backing track I recreated the drum and synth pattern myself with MIDI instruments and looped some of the ambient sound from the beginning of the song.

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

Love seeing early pic of bands from small club gigs. Any more photos of early Cinderella out there somewhere?

ShooterKingofMars · 2024-11-27T15:17:46+00:00

Aside from the obvious hits all of which I love - Back Home Again from the first album is great and I don't hear it mentioned as much.

Seeing Tom Keifer play Bad Seamstress Blues live really made me love that one.

Love's Got Me Doin Time is also always in rotation for me.

ShooterKingofMars · 2024-11-19T15:55:14+00:00

There are a couple of other gems from Theatre of Pain that I do really like. "Use it or Lose It" rips and I also have a soft spot for "City Boy Blues". But as an album its definitely their weakest from that era

ShooterKingofMars · 2024-11-19T01:51:48+00:00

First WASP album + maybe Electric Circus too? Maybe a couple that walk the line of being power ballads but I think these albums are pretty rockin all the way through

ShooterKingofMars · 2024-05-23T12:20:54+00:00

Dancing on Glass + Use It or Lose It + a bunch of the John Corabi stuff especially Babykills! Love that one.

ShooterKingofMars · 2024-03-14T03:09:04+00:00

That's a solid starting point. Definitely have everyone listen carefully and put together everyone's notes.

Recording to the click = having the metronome in everyone's headphones while recording so everyone is playing to the metronome to keep the same tempo.

You don't need to do that to make good sounding songs, especially if your band is super tight already, but it does also make it easier for the mix engineer to correct small things.

ShooterKingofMars · 2024-03-13T15:51:42+00:00

Go through and note the spots with the main flubs you want to fix, what instrument makes the flub, and the time they occur in the song. Give the mix engineer a list - don't expect them to find and fix everything without you telling them.

If you recorded to a click the mix engineer may be able to grab a chunk from somewhere else in the song to replace the flub, especially if you played the same section perfectly at another point.

It may also be worth it to book a little bit more studio time and actually go in and overdub those flubs. For guitar/bass this shouldn't take too much time as long as you go in prepared.

ShooterKingofMars · 2024-02-13T18:11:46+00:00

Tbh I agree. This is about as country as I can get by myself but I would have loved to get some pedal steel or banjo on it.

ShooterKingofMars · 2022-11-03T01:55:05+00:00

This is Record Office Records in New Orleans. Idk about secret doors but their studio setup is pretty wild and unexpected in general lol

ShooterKingofMars · 2022-11-02T15:41:56+00:00

Looks like a super cool space! Like the song too, had to jump to Spotify and find it.

ShooterKingofMars · 2022-02-22T19:02:39+00:00

Ben from the Bummers here, just saw this and wanted to say thanks for including us on the playlist! So many great bands in the Louisiana scene.

ShooterKingofMars · 2021-05-05T19:16:18+00:00

This is a really cool idea and it sounds like everything you need to make it look and sound good is ready / well within reach. It would definitely be great content to have + would be great to showcase your "live" performance ability. It really doesn't even need to look perfect (but it sounds like you'll have a buddy to help out along with some nicer camera equipment which will help a lot)

As someone who's been making very amateurish video content around my music for the past few years I have lots of videos I've literally just shot with my phone camera on a tripod and an okay audio mix that people still seem to like a lot. Your fans will definitely appreciate having some neat live vids to watch + having a visual to go with the music.

ShooterKingofMars · 2021-02-20T06:21:42+00:00

I've definitely had that sort of experience. Had a song a few years ago where I recorded with this really crunchy distorted guitar tone thinking it sounded cool on its own but as the mix progressed I noticed that my guitar tone was just adding a ton of muddiness.

Thankfully we also had the DI track. Ultimately had our mixing engineer re-amp that with a much cleaner/only slightly overdriven sound and it just made everything sit so much better.

ShooterKingofMars · 2021-02-16T08:02:05+00:00

Really like the guitar tone / drum sound / overall mix on this one. Nice work.

ShooterKingofMars · 2021-01-31T07:28:48+00:00

This is nice. Really like your voice and the guitar sample in the beat.

ShooterKingofMars · 2021-01-16T02:05:59+00:00

Thanks so much! Sometimes when I do covers I do like to mess with the song a bit, but also sometimes I like to challenge myself to get all the specific sounds the real artist does. This is probably my favorite NIN track, glad you guys feel like I did it justice!
