Somebody get M. Vagener back from retirement...
Damm this is bad mixing-production...the song has Extreme flavour...

I think the chorus is modern or better stated, has a commercial sound to it. I could hear that chorus on the radio these day. Overall though I don't get the grunge thing with this tune, just sounds like an older band writing with a contemporary slant but keeping their tag on it.I called it dated sounding in my first post and you are calling it modern so now I have to ask, what about this sounds modern? It sounds like an 80s band that finally heard STP in 1996 and is now trying to jump on the grunge bandwagon which they already missed
But we all here things differently. The biggest thing that jumps out to me is the poor mix. Whether listening online with good headphones or listening to it on spotify on my car stereo...it's a bad mix.
Surprisingly...I actually really like it. Nuno is such a monster.
Absolutely...I'm not a big extreme fan, but have always really loved Nuno's playing (rhythm actually more so that leads even). He' so dynamic and creative with his riffs. And he typically uses a surprisingly dry and under-gained tone (similar to Lynch and Jake E Lee) that is uncommon for guys that came up in that era. It really highlights all the nuances in his playing.Yeah, I dig it too. I have listened to it 3 or 4 times. I dig Nuno's tone on this, especially when he does the palm muted licks on the low strings.
I am the same age as Nuno and if I wrote a riff and a singer put a melody over it that was an exact rip-off of STP, I wouldn't recognize it unless it was Interstate Love Song.
Does anyone have any idea what frequencies might accentuate that percussive tone? Something to dial in with an eq pedal such as a GE-7?
Did you produce this, PLX?![]()
your mileage may vary
Thanks. Am I reading it correctly that basically you have a small cut at 700hz, a small boost at 35hz, and the a high pass at 80hz. Won't the high pass negate the boost in the lows (35hz also seems like it wouldn't do much on guitar)? Sorry if this is basic, not really experienced in this stuff. Or was this simply just suggesting that plugin and disregard the settings?![]()

I put a ProCo RAT clone pedal in front of a JCM800.Thanks. Am I reading it correctly that basically you have a small cut at 700hz, a small boost at 35hz, and the a high pass at 80hz.

Death to all but(t) metal!Thought this was a joke at first. Lyrics are terrible. What the hell is the singer doing with his legs at the beginning 30 seconds/minute of the song. This is why I listen to death metal.
Most of the amazing sounding pop/rock records in the mid 80’s used Linn (or similar) drum machines, at least for kick and snare. So many of them when I found out much later I was how does that sound so much better than drum samples being used now and it comes down to the right ears. We haven’t had decent ears and aesthetics in modern recording for a long time. Lot of so called “producers” and “engineers” out there.Samples have been used for 50 years now though and the loudness wars are over, it’s just a shitty mix. I blame more small budgets and shitty producers
On a more technical note, Nuno seems to be able to dial in that percussive tone regardless of gear (I know his hands are a big part of it). Does anyone have any idea what frequencies might accentuate that percussive tone? Something to dial in with an eq pedal such as a GE-7?
