MaxdB

biography



Played guitar in a few little bands  played in a 70's coverband, and loved drumming for fun later.
Raised the band 'Undertow' (later U-Tow), you'll find most songs in my music list.
I loved composing at home and then workin it out with the band, and the other members did contribute songs and their share.
special thanks to:
-Leen van Gijzen(voc. R.I.P.)
-Rodney Werleman(drums)
-Marcel Remmig(bass)
-Hugo Sipkes(git)
-Lawrence Payne(voc)

I really enjoyed doing all the recordings with my Yamaha 44-16 dig. recorder and my laptop.


All other songs are me and my PC, but that's another story,

i like composing, playing and recording, and love to have feedback of any kind, tnx in advance.

hope I ant breaking the rules, I don't intend to, to me this is a new song, but it has grown out of 2 earlier uploads here(Funky metal junkie/Reggea funkin metal)

anyway, we are talkin rock now, and i am kinda happy with it but:
i have a few points i míght wanna change..,
-i aint too sure of the quality of the vox
-in the breakdown i improvised rappin/spoken word thing which i failed so i pitched it up and now its more of a gimmick, hope it doesnt make the whole song a gimmick?
-the solo is still the first impro, does it work? i like it but there is a little(big) slip in it..

and well, the lyrics are a bunch of sentences together, although i owe the best words to my sister, so nice workin together

hope you'll enjoy, comments very welcome

Reggea Funkin Metal(funky metal junkie V2)

March 12th, 2008 + 7:03 AM  ·  MaxdB

i changed a few thousand notes, cut out a few parts(one i regret), added clean guitars, and remixed.
+added some melody as Marino said,
+also reworked bass as Denis suggested, hope i did right, (tell me if i missed your point pls)

maybe it aint much of a song, but it is enjoyable as a piece of music i hope ?

Funky Metal Junkie

what to say; the next stage of ? Wonder meets Primus meets ?

tnx for comment on my last upload Marino, but ill delete that version because u were right :p

Marino wrote…
Very funky indeed.Yeah I hear the crazy primus /buckethead thing,very cool and bit cluttered but by the second round it got better ,good stuff!!!
The piano part does get a bit repetitive...Maybe a melody on top or something!

would love some comment on this, i am surprised myself

MaxJam with TK

December 15th, 2007 + 7:12 AM  ·  MaxdB

quite some time ago i got mail from TK he played some organ to this upload of mine:
http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2307.html

I found it very complementing, but also very amazing how it works, even while there is not much room left in between all my guitar(noodle) parts( i recorded this in the time when i was 'learning soloing', i am still stucked in that fase ; )
i totally forgot about it, too busy with other things, haven't been around a while here, but now the world has the chance to hear this,

u can tell TK knows better what i am doing than i did, lol

enjoy
