[Opposing Force Pt.2 in F# minor (Rough)]

But...does it DJENT!? :U

Xenogenocide responds:

Does it? DOES IT?!

[Fairy Tail Theme-Metaljonus]

Fantastic work man! Would have been even cooler if you palm muted some of the rhythm parts in your usual fashion and I also miss a crazy solo/sweeping in the middle. That would have really killed it! ;)

Now you make me feel bad again that I haven't played in a long while. ;(

You basturd! <3

Metaljonus responds:

Thanks, dude! And I wanted to go a little more extreme with it but I also wanted to pay tribute to the original as well lol pick up your guitar and play!!!!!! :P

[Vintage Batman Song Cover]

Classy as hell my good sir! Perfect in every aspect! That's a 5 all around! :D

sorohanro responds:

Thanks :)

[SF2 - Guile's Theme]

Glorious! :D

Stellar sound there man. You really re-fined it to the max. That b-ass! You playing? If so, fantastic, you really improved in every resort there is.

Awesome rendition! :)

Xenogenocide responds:

Haha, thanks Darkside man :D

Yes it's me playing the bass, but it's all glued and faked like fuck. I can't really play slap bass. :(

Thanks anyway man!

[Nameless Usurper]

This is grade A material, all around. Very nice production, well mixed, tight. The bass drowns a bit but other than that, this is gold. Sadly, it's seems like your music is very unappreciated so far here on NG. I've just gone ahead and featured your MM2 medley. I could have featured nearly every track from your profile but I thought this may get more attention than a "normal" metal track from you.

What setup are you using for your recordings? Drums at least sound like EZdrummer if I'm not mistaken.

Keep up the good work!

JDawg00100 responds:

Wow thanks dude! I really appreciate that! I don't really stress how many listens I get but I really do enjoy the feedback I hear from people just so I can improve my song writing. I'm glad you like my music! :D

Yep the drums are EZDrummer, I use a Line 6 Toneport UX1 to record the guitars. I think I'm actually due for an upgrade pretty soon, I'm running out of things I can do with my old equipment. Plus I think the UX1 was like $100 yeeears ago.

Anyways thanks again! :D

[STIT-Metaljonus]

Jon, you're such a filthy bastard. Fishing for compliments, are we? Just like those gurls on facef*ck. OMG, I R FAT AND UGLY, sob sob. This is nearly the same. You are a fucking machine on the guitar and I don't know what I should say else. I envy your skills man. That's a blessing you got there.

Of course, there is always room for improvement but hell...what to complain about? Your "old" mixes had way too much "loudness" which ruined pretty much all of the dynamics (told you that a couple of times) but as you said yourself, you had a lot of time to sit down and do things over and over again.

I can't find much wrong with this mix. Cept for a lack of bass. ;) Other than that, this is just going it's way without anything to complain about.

Shut up, grab beers, listen, enjoy.

I would welcome listening to more stuff like "Ignite" because I think that style of playing suits you best. (Only my humble opinion of course) ;)

Metaljonus responds:

LMAO! IR SOOO FATZ! Gotta whore you music out some way right? *Duckface* More Bass in the mix? Got it! My old mixes were such crap. I had to take a big step backwards before moving forwards ya know? Still gotta get used to mixing so much ambient stuff in the background and synths and all that jazz. As for writing more stuff like "Ignite" I definitely see more stuff like that track in the future. I've been on a pretty experimental roller coaster and don't feel like getting off just yet LOL. Thanks for the review dude!

[Ignite-Metaljonus]

Instant download! This is the shit I like to hear from you man. Fast paced, melodical. Chagga Chagga mafagga.

Metaljonus responds:

Thanks Darkside! Good to see you're still around! :D

[Hell-0 Toosday]

FUCK YO TOOSDAY! Nice jam man! You've improved your sound a fucking lot. :)

The guitars now got a very nice feel to it. I miss a bit of reverb on the drums but I guess that depends. ;D

I'll be back in action soon as well. :D

Been too fucking long. ;C

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Dood, it has been FAAAR too long. U NEED TO COME BACK. We need to make something rad together.

I wish I knew you would stop by, this is a 1.5 hour job from conception to post. Just testing out my new shit for movie scoring. All raw. :) Can do better.
As for the reverb, I thought could use some too...but too little time.

[Returnin From Planet Cock]

Something clever, cunning, yet thought provoking and intelligent. something like... OMFGZORZ!!11! Thats what the cat-bastards are bout! Nuff said.

True...so true! I salute to your creativity you bastards!

[Megaman Legends 2: Mother Zone]

Ah great!

One of my fav. pieces from MML 2 and you really gave it a good portion of love. I faved it on sheezy art as well a good while back and will do so here as well...I'll also will give some more exposure. You'll find out soon enough. :)

Anyways, good job man.

ProudOne responds:

Darkside!!!!!
Danke :3

Ich weiß, ich kann es nicht sehr oft zeigen, aber ich finde dein Zeug klasse. Das Traurige ist, dass ich mich nur selten für Rock begeistern kann ;D
