@@Zen-yt8jj It sure is. The whole album is a great listen. Crazy well produced.

@jsteelester She's brilliant John. An absolute gem of the Irish music industry.

@@zacdeverell You know it.

@@theviralusername Absolutely! It's so,so, similar.

@SpidercraftServer I appreciate you paying respects in this trying time.

@ptmusc00 Thanks man! Glad I could help with the ear worm.

@jsteelester Cheers John, you're very kind! I have a distrokid account. I just thought that this one wasn't quite to the standard to go up on the streaming services. But I may redo it. And congrats on Half Life and the screening! It's an excellent piece of work.

@@beats_flows Absolutely. It's uncanny!

@@saramorgan8805 I'm sure it wasn't enormously intentional. But the parallels are there!

@@RB-oc7ti Aye, a lot of those around!

Phew! I'm glad it fits. There are parts that I was surprised at just how well it worked though!

@DMSProduktions Hey, Thanks for commenting! I don't quote get what you mean though. You mean on the knobs?

@@SonicChronicle LOL no, the stickers dude! ;o)

@@DMSProduktionseveryone knows that blur stickers give the best tone 👌🏻

@@Tcoldsteel WOO HOO!

@RickNasty42069YOLO Hahaha! It's not for everyone certainly. It's one of those pop punk things that I did years ago. Inspired by Noodles from The Offspring.

I think it’s a right of passage as a teenager to have a guitar wrapped in stickers. Wish I kept mine😢

@@SearchingForTone That's it! That SG is definitely from a time in my life when Punk and Pop Punk had a real hold on me.

@sumias3042 Yeah, I was surprised with how good it sounds clean! Certainly not as bottom heavy in terms of sound. As I mentioned though, I do think it loses some of that clarity with High gain but that's to be expected somewhat. And for 50 quid for 2, a bit of a bargain

Good job bro. I just started soldering and this video helped.

@randyandamberthompson9972 Thanks Man! Glad to hear it was helpful!

I'll need to give Brave a listen. I'm actually a Damo fan! I kinda lost track of him after To Hell or Barbados but I'm familiar with everything up to that. I still remember the first time I heard him on Other Voices back when it was actually about other voices. Excellent stuff. He played Negative Vibes. Teen me was enthralled. He doesn't get enough credit.

@@SonicChronicle oh yeah I remember that ! It was in a church in Kerry I think! Glen Hansard from the frames hosting . Quality .

@craighopkins1914 Aye! Other Voices used to be in that tiny church, St. James'. I don't know if it still is. I think it was John Kelly from Mystery Train presenting though. Anyway, it used to be great!

@@SonicChronicle I like the channel man gave you a sub !

@craighopkins1914 Cheers man! Much appreciated.

It's so similar to some of his older stuff that it scratches that itch! I just can't believe I've listened to nearly all of his albums.

No problem!

Thanks for outing yourself and not making me look like a complete fool!😂

And you were very much correct!

I was the same! I thought it was pretty much identical. So I proved it!

I can hear it!

Thanks Man, I appreciate it.

Drop A?! Gauge 18 strings all round! Anyway, I love it all! Ye're great. And at the very least, know that someone cares!

@SonicChronicle legend! Thank you dude, honestly appreciate it and we're just out here doing our thing, trying to help people, one song at a time! Be sure to checkout the other track we dropped with it called Caviar and Cigarettes if you haven't already? Aw man, we fucking care too!

@@BrokenJawUK Excellent Intel about the other song! I'll check it out!

@SonicChronicle anytime dude! Would love to know what you make of that one too!

I went through a big Bowling for Soup phase not too long ago myself. I've also been following Alex's recent music. I agree that she's been doing a great job with the videos!

So wonderful!! Thank you so much!!

@@pMadtheband you are very welcome!

It's a great riff!

Hahahaha! That's why it sounds exactly like that era of incubus!

@@SonicChronicle however the ending is completely different

I'll give it a listen! Thanks!

Thankfully my objectivity wasn't impacted by the visualiser!

I was very impressed for sure! Thanks for watching and for commenting!

Always love to see people who have clearly been going through some manner of substance issue getting themselves back on track. Huge strength of character. Thanks for the comment Nat!

Thanks for the feedback John! I'll get in touch!

I actually haven't. I would have liked to have seen them live a few years back but sadly couldn't get a 3 day ticket for the festival I was attending.

@@SonicChronicle well check out some of their live shows on CZcams, Mike Freakin McCready does Shedd on some performances. 🎸🔥. JUST SAYING.

@@laurawatters914 Examples?

@SonicChronicle watch any live Pearl Jam concert. 😊✌️

@@laurawatters914 I watched more than half of the PinkPop 1992 concert and the Livin' in the Free World cover. I enjoyed myself, no shred though. A lot of pick raking over a wah pedal though.

Mike isn't bad certainly. Not the best guitarist in the world from a technical, lead perspective. But writes good guitar parts. Largely chord based, but works for the songs.

Lol, "largely chord based" wtf does that mean, that he he doesn't have a solo every song? @@SonicChronicle

@nicolasflamel2905 I should have been clearer. I was referring to his riffs there. That based on when I've played Pearl Jam songs, there's a lot of standard Triad, "cowboy chord" stuff. Like how the main riff on alive is based around an A chord. Or how Black is based around an E/E7.

Generally yeah, but he let rip on this one!

He's a shredder.

@joehowerton945 I've never heard him let loose like a Hammett, a Vai, a Malmsteen etc, but he does a great solo here! He proper lets rips and it's great to see.

Yeah i laughed at that too 🤣🤣🤣

Mayo? Thats the worst county! 🤣 As I said though, I do also put Sweet Dreams up there. Not that I need to be gatekept.

@SonicChronicle An album that came out 16 years ago. One that she intended to crossover to general audiences and be an international hit. This artist and the one who sang Halo are two different artist.

But you like your pop basic and G rated and I can underatand that. Doesn't seem very interesting, but I do understand.

@@stonyknights7260 I love the shade. Keep it coming! It's worth noting that I do like interesting music. And it's an interesting criticism you've popped out there when Texas Hold 'Em is not a very interesting song. At the very least Sweet Dreams and Halo have interesting production. You have something interesting to talk about and comment on on those tracks. Here, with this bare bones approach, it doesn't do Beyonce any favours at all. So what I consider to be good pop is all well and good, but I find it hard to consider that someone would go to bat for this track, the purpose of my video.

@SonicChronicle The track is #2 on the billboard country charts. So there's that. Also as a hard left from Act 1, it's very interesting and furthers the notion of her reclaiming black voices in spaces we have historically been removed from. This was a promo single to introduce us to sounds she would be exploring on Act 2, not a dissertation on the current state of country music and what it should be. A light rockabilly banjo heavy uptempo dance track, with a hard country edge.

This ain't Country, ain't no Hold 'em.

Cheers lads! You've at least one new fan out of this!

@@SonicChroniclecheers for the love, really appreciate it!

You are a proper musician! Thank you for the compliment Dude. I just try to ask interesting stuff. Maybe we'll chat again about your project again!

Cheers John! I hope the audio level was slightly better on the last 2.

I also really enjoyed it! It was a great time. Thanks John. Looking forward to the next album.

Thanks man! Glad you liked it!

Thanks very much! She's an amazing talent
