Your music is dull, unimaginative, and I feel as though there are five minutes of my life I'll never reclaim.

Sorry. "Thanks" for that "honest" and "helpful" review. ;)

So, I went to my page to see which song you listened to. You see, none of them are 5 minutes long, and I couldn't come up with a combo of songs that added up to that length. Now I'm just curious if you really listened to anything at all... Which song was it that you listened to? PLMK. Thx. :)
P.S. ~ Dumb question for you, so I know your credentials somewhat. Are you a musician? Any links to any of your music? Would love to hear that... ;)

You asked so here it goes! I listen to bits from a few tracks. There was NO WAY IN HELL I could sit through an entire track of yours. Sorry. You asked.

*I* have been around music people all my adult life..I've know quiote a few fairly well-known players.

And the man before my late husband played guitar professionally...blues, jazz, funk.
My late husband played banjo..folk type like Pete Seeger as well as bluegrass..

Been in the studio a time or three...

I won't give you a specific play-by-play critique...but, it's just average at *best*...
As it came from you....it is importamnt to *you*...it's like you own child...you think it's better/ prettier/ smarter than everyone else's kid.

However, you asked for opinions...and.....it's nothing to "write home" about.

Too funny, you actually answered the question I was the least interested in the answer to. I was actually more curious about your credentials, which I see you left none of. Link to your music? Pix of you playing live in front of people? Pix of you with rock stars? When you have some more experience in music, like I obviously do (see pix on my page) please come back and give some of it a listen again. I'd love a new opinion at that time. Thx. :)

Actually, you are both right and wrong here. I don't think it's all that because I don't think it's better/ prettier/ smarter than everyone else's, because it's like my own child. I'm actually knowledgeable enough about music to to rate my music honestly. But, you are correct, it is just average. Hmm. Let's see, I'm not a signed artist, and I don't tour. Heck, I don't even play out live anymore, and I certainly don't sell albums. Songs? Sure, every so often. But not THAT often. Maybe that's because it's just average... ;) Thanks for the honesty though. :)
P.S. Is there a *thing* about the asterisked words thing? Not familiar with that one...

Hmmm... Based on this post and the links in your profile encouraging people to listen to your music and read your free e-books... it kind of sounds like your advertising...

OT... I listened briefly to a few songs and sorry, I didn't really care for it. Seems dark, unorganized, and choppy. Sounds like you're talking instead of singing.

To each his/her own though... I imagine there are people out there that like that kind of music.

By all means, if I've broken some rule of the website, let's just take down the post/thread completely. I believe in following rules. It's important for this 'loose' society we live in now. Any way to do that?? PLMK, and thx for the honest opinions. My page is long though, and many people never get to the nice acoustic Dido cover of White Flag that I do, about halfway down the page, they just stop at the heavy metal stuff... LMK if you made it that far or not maybe. :)
P.S. ~ Oh, and I never charge for my music, and you can see why, so is it considered advertising if I don't charge for it? PLMK. Oh yeah, and I removed those 'links' from my profile already...

I will add that it takes courage to put your work out there, so good for you!

PLEASE. The page is LONG. The heavy metal stuff just happens to be the last stuff posted, so it's at the top of the long, long page, and there is no way to reorder the songs on the page, so the different genres of music I do tend to be toward the bottom of the page unfortunately on SoundCloud's website, since it's technically my oldest music. Maybe, if you might listen to a few different genres of songs, that might make the rating you give me more educated and informed. And, please feel free to rip my music. I don't care a bit. In fact, the negative feedback helps more that the positive feedback. :)

I'm a terrible singer, there's no denying that... ;) It's my guitar playing, bass playing, recording and engineering skills that are my best skills. But singing, NOT! :)
