Meh
the music is good, and you have good ideas, but the production/drum programming/guitar is lacking on a huge level. But granted, you are probably one of the best keyboardists on NG. So kudos to you on that one.

That was all I needed to hear :)
If I had an actual guitarist and drummer around at the time, I would of let them play the drum and guitar parts instead of writing them on the computer. I had very limited resources at the time.
Ok..
I like the Metallica version better.

whatever you say
nice work
I really don't approve of your grades slipping at all, and I think you went a little too fast for this song and it's not that complete on my standards. You left out notes to simplyfy certain parts and unfortinatly it resulted in the sound getting lost as a result. 0:50-1:15 There were things that don't quite match up with this song either. at around it does not give enough suspense. You were playing at quarter note being at around 120 bpm. In reality it was about 80 bpm. You got the rit too late. It happened. At about 7:50 the song is jkusjt blown out of my mind. The cover is not the best that is out there. however, nice work. Hint: High school will be NO joke. Also, be sure you contribute the artist or else a flag WILL go up on my next time that I see this or any other song that is a cover. SPREAD THE WORD!

My grades are fine! I'm in college now so this project didn't completely kill me.
This was 3 or 4 years ago and I've matured musically since so whatever. I was in a phase where I wrote really shitty music but I was so proud of it because it was mine (as you can tell from the long ass description) so forgive me lol.
Eh.
Not bad.
A little too much of the "let's have the whole song be the climax" and not enough buildup to it.
And there wasn't much variation in the volume... just quiet or kinda louder, no real intermediate levels... so after 3 or 4 minutes, it's just kinda boring.
If you could work on more buildup to a louder, more epic climax, I think it would be a lot better.
adompeace responds:
I knew someone would say there is not enough buildup to it. I didn't write this song. Metallica wrote it. I just made this fancy rearrangement, so don't complain to me. Complain to them.
My ears are kicking my ass.
If I believed in heaven and hell....and was killed and sent to this fictitious place 'hell' and forced to remain in an elevator for all eternity....this is what would be playing on the overhead speaker in said elevator. This mock-up is absolutely void of any human feeling. It is as if I died and went on to midi hell. Did you point and click the whole piece together cutting and pasting along the way? You need to breath some life into this thing. It is great that you can either buy the 'Ride the Lightning' song book or down load the tabs online, then copy the notes into your midi program but where is your contribution? Please try again! : (

Well, as the description says, download it and show it to people you don't like! XD
