Important:
(I dont know if this is possible but can we somehow delete this conversation as it kind of detracts from the page cause this is Audio Review...we could move this to the pit or something even. we can keep your first post where you bring up your feeling about it if you want. I just dont want this whole thing of our first song for the album being cluttered up by this.)
I know I can delete my posts, and I think you can delete yours too. I just want the replies to be about the song and not this huge conversation.... :D
I personally think this conversation belongs here cause we are talking about the song and what me and you think about it so it would be completely senseless moving it to The Pit, the part of BandAMP dedicated to anything but music.

Ok well thats cool too. Its just theres so many posts from just us and I wanted to see if anyone else would reply to the song, and if they see it has like 17 or more reviews when theyre browsing they might just look it over and be like "Oh that one is thoroughly reviewed". We can leave it the way it is. (for instance only 4 people have actually listened and commented on this song, yet there are 17 replies)
You know, I was just thinking this, and I think if we might be able to add on a few more vocals after the solo and whatnot. Thanks for listening!

If I could make one last suggestion, I think you should bring the chorus back in after the drum instrmental., to sort of 'complete' the song in a way.

really chill track, but turn up the volume and try to make the vocals tighter
the "red kool aid is better than green" lyric is really creative and catchy, I like the idea

Track lacks volume.
Care nothing about kool aid either red nor green but seems catchy anyways.
Slide to loud.
Drums always play the same fill.
Vox out of tune on occasion
Bring the volume up and cut the Eq with a low pass filter that should get some hiss out.Use the shelve type skip the notch !There some free ones in KVR they run in most DAW's.
Not sure what the crap is that guy talking about sounding knocking on heavens whatever,there's only 7 natural notes and 5 accidentals so its inevitable to come across similar chord changes.Listen to Guantamera and la Bamba there the same progression yet different songs,In my opinion that guys view was rather ignorant.
Good song needs work.
Concept album?
So whats the concept?Juices?

I guess people still don't get what I tried to said...
Anyway, I won't argue.
As I previously said, needs some work, some development.

I understand you perfectly Iszel
It's nice to see you active on the AMP, so don't go man, we need to keep the AMP alive
Your song writting skills are growing guys..
I would suggest you guys seriously give thought about practicing some vocal exercises as you guys sing well,just a little weak in the projection..I like the melody but really love the drums and slide work.Run a compressor on that slide so it keeps the notes tight...
Good show guys!

I agree with dennis, this has that pink floyd feel. The vocals are prominate and somehow sarcastic opposing the slow, chill guitar strumming. It is quite enjoyable. This is a huge improvement over the old version. The slide guitar at the end is hella-cool. That is a talent I never picked up. 
knock knock.....
the sliding guit makes it different from the heaven's door

Hey I want to thank all of you guys for the new reviews. I didn't get a chance to as I havent check this song out in a while. (claudebukowski, Ultravoz, Marino, Dark, TritonKeyboarder)
I entered it into the march battle (i think)...lets see how it does.

Oh, I thought it was just me. Good to know I'm not going insane about this point (similarities and stuff).
Anyway, I came back to vote, not to open an old discussion.

thanks iszil!
at this point I dont care if it sounds similar....I just appreciate you guys coming here and taking time to review and listen to it.

well I heard the song before I read the post.. Sorry gotta go with knock knock.. it's the first thing that jumped into my head sorry/..
ok most tech points have already been made.. you'll grow as writers.. It can't be helped.. I wrote a song thinking it was all mine.. turns out it has the exact same chord progressions as a Uriah Heep song.."July Morning" Listen to "Don't Say Goodbye" I don't figure you did it on purpose ..it just happens.. the thing is Knock Knock is such a huge song ..not only from Dillon but G& R. The brain automatically hears the similarity.
guitar playing . needs to be a little tighter timing wise is just a couple of spots. needs a little work on the levels. drums are ok need a little more work.
Pros.. I love the vocal hook.. I love the vocalist, he just needs a little more work on his pitch control.
I liked the slide lead..just need to sit in the mix a bit more.
overall a good job. I call it a complete song (I've heard worse on the radio). gets a good vote from me.

EDIT: I also have the account WalkingStereotype, I just made that because my friend thought we should have a seperate account for songs we do in that band.....well that band broke up so I'll just be on TheKunadiun now lol
I've "cooled down" a little bit about thinking everyone is out to get me because my song probably has the same chord progression as an actual song (knockin on heavens door for instance.)
I totally see now that when you're new at writing songs (like we are) we will accidently write a passage that sounds exactly like something else. 2 of our other songs we wrote (havent record/uploaded yet) sound exactly the same as two songs ive NEVER heard before in my entire life, but the similarities in the guitars and instruments were uncanny. Bela Lugosi is Dead was one of them and the other was some song with Spanish vocals...even the guitar solos that we had lined up sounded the same in the spanish song. so we're learning to get past this...lol
Thanks for the compliments on the singing (i was singing) as Im trying to progress and get better at my singing and pitch control is a big thing that I need to work on.
Thank you again for the listen and review and I hope I didnt "scar" or offend anyone with my freak out comments trying to defend myself for sounding like knockin on heavens door. (who knows the chords could be exactly the same). thanks
EDIT: another edit: I just noticed that the song that we wrote that sounds like Bela Lugosi is Dead is actually uploaded and its called "Our Version". My dad heard us recording the song and hes like "Woah that sounds so familiar" and then he put in the Bauhaus CD that ive never heard before (consciously anyways...he played tons of pink floyd and that kinda stuff when i was much younger and not into music) and we were like woah that sounds so similar.
