wahwah vs J-Mart

[wahwah]

Ok, here's mine...recorded about 18 months ago. The Geord on vocals again.

[J-Mart]

Round 2 Good Luck brother!

[wahwah]

You too...I'm lying low after this one!

[J-Mart]

Good work Wah. I've heard this before. Geordie can sing!

[wahwah]

This is gonna take til Doomsday at this rate! Stop d/l'ing the bugger if you don't wanna VOTE!!! |

nice solo and tone wahwah! killer vox goard!

nice snaky playing j-mart, but just watch out for the clipping... no big deal tho hehe
great job both of u

[strat78]

What I miss from both versions is that explosive slide Edward incorporates as part of the main riff. To me it is the riff. Its actually a very boring song so I think Edward did all he could to at least make a very basic chord progression shimmer like diamonds. I guess most of the original recordings punch had allot to do with that Ibanez Destroyer. I have never heard Van Halen perform the song with the original potency of the first album. Its always rushed and thinned out. Just some thoughts.

Sorry Chris, J-Mart gets my vote this time round. The cleaner sound without the phaser did it for me, although Geordie's vocals add that bit extra to your track.

At this rate, you two will be getting your own sub-forum!!!!

[J-Mart]

Thanks guys. Hey Strat78, I tried to make those big hand slides. Hard to make it really come out when recorded. Could be partially to Templetons magic.

[wahwah]

Same here? It IS part of the track...almost like a motorbike growl. I did it on every line!

[SLoB]

another close one, going for J-Mart this time tho

I really think that for the battles to be more comparitive the same backing is used imo.

ya can tell that Chris's band has gelled and it's blended in the whole sound of the band, where as J-Mart is going playing against a backing, not to say you didnt try to gell with the track dude (but ya'll know wot i mean )
could feel the chords being played by J-Mart, levels were a little high on the solo sections tho

great going guys

[Jeffery Bravo]

both very good!!! I thought there was a tad too much flange on wah's sound, but thought j-mart's tone a lil too dry-exept the solo. the solo sound should have also been used for the Rythmn. I am voting for wah's...he really nailed the harmonics well, but both did a gr8 job on the solo. It's Van Halen, so it ain't easy.

[TexasAxeSlinger]

It was close. I am bttling Wha on In My Dreams very soon. I voted by J mart by just a hair. Wha's was still excellent though.

[verga]

Both were great!! Its hard to choose, but my vote goes to J mart. I like your tone on the mix. BTW, Wha, your tone was also exellent, but i think the mix could be a little more louder Nice work guys!

[J-Mart]

Thanks for listening Guys. Wah smoked me in Atomic Punk, so I'm hoping to even the score here. Then it's the tie breaker!! Hot For Teacher maybe.
