Isn't zyko more known for his rap rather than guitar?

Anyways

I like the voices

You should have added more instruments though

cool guitar effects going on here

nothing really happens though

1:04 and 2:55 are cool

overall its pretty cool

7ish? / 10

Of course he is more known for his rap... Probably "Niggaz 4 Life" to be specific since it was so "controversial" (Not really if you ask me, but some feel that way).

Anyways, be it guitar or rapping, zyko puts out some awesome shit, and this is no exception. I think this remix sounds great, great guitar riffs, I especially like the ending. Only problem that I had was the repetitive drums, but that really didn't take too much away from the remix as a whole. Good stuff.

Yeah, it's funky I guess. But the leads, guitars, etc. sound too distant, they need to brought forward in the mix. Also, there's not a whole lot going on: very repetitive, uninteresting melodies. Nothing really reaches out an' pulls you in. Some of the guitar work is kinda cool, but not enough to hold the mix afloat.

Not Zyko's best work.

6.5/10

[Samurai Jin]

uhh, its alright, not impressed by much, sounds like a poorly remixed Zeppelin (sp) song. 6/10...

Oh man, boo...
maybe it's because I'm not as much of a funkadelic zepplin or hendrix fan, but this guitar just doesn't seem to offer enough redeeming value to me on this one.

I don't consider myself to be a good guitarist and I didn't hear anything there that I couldn't do on my third try. The drums sound too fake, the instruments are too sparse and artificial, and the overall message is very: 'I made a funk song'.

I don't doubt it took you a day, or maybe a weekend... but I just don't think it's up to the par of some of the latest OCR stuff... it affirms to me that some very unfortunate biases are likely forming. Since the bar is already so high to begin with I think that the bar should be raised higher as the artist gets better as well.

When I knew I knew the name zyko from another track I liked I investigated, and was shocked to learn you were behind the Submarine Attack song with Destiny & the Europa Pegasi track with the wingless... those were much better.

2/10 because it's still a song.

Your guitar is good... but I think you need to do more collaborations... or learn more instruments. :)

[Chris McGee]

Oh man, funky stuff...

So the guitar is really well played in this. That's a given. The theme is pretty well developped, and the sound quality is top notch. My one gripe is that there's really not much instrumentation other than the guitar and bass.

Maybe not zyko's crowning jewel, but a damn fine tune to jam out to nonetheless. 8/10

There is no bias. We rejected zyko's last submission. It may not be to your taste, but this particular mix is certainly well above the bar.

We don't bias our votes, and you sure as hell don't have idea what you're talking about regarding site policy, submissions guidelines, quality standards, lockdown policy, or the general goings-on here, which is the usual when I see you complain.

The song was judged on all relevant areas, and weaknesses were pointed out along with the strengths. Judges have been rejected before while being on the panel, and past & future judges have all been rejected. The fact that you don't like the song doesn't mean bias was involved in passing it.

This is good... I wouldn't say it's anything extraordinary, but it's good. The vocals don't really seem necessary, but they don't really detract from the overall value either. The drums seem a little bland, but you hardly notice it with all the other funkage going on.

So yeah, overall, I like it. Nothing spectacular, but it's pretty good.
