J2112YYZ Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Is it metal? :hail: Not really. It's a very good mid pace rock tune. The guitar solo has a trace of metal in it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Doesn`t Wolf do everything? I don`t know if that turned out to be the case, but he was going to be writing, singing, bass, guitar, drums, keys, producer when the record was first mooted. Yes. Every note. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) I just listened to it. It's kind of short on lyrics and he reminds me of the lead singer of REM. In fact, the song sounds like a REM song to me. I liked the guitar though throughout the song and he can sing. I feel sorry for him. Hope he can pull himself through this without destroying himself in the process. His life appears to have been very, very entwined with his father. Hope Valerie keeps a close eye on him.

treeduck Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Ok I've listened to the song, and it's pretty good. It sounds like a song from a film soundtrack or from a TV show, a kind of alternative rock ballad. Wolfgang's voice is pretty impressive. The first part it just sounded ok, but once his voice went up a register it sounded really good, I even got a little bit of the goosebumps with the video footage playing along with it. The only really downside are the drums or the production of the drums. Sounds very muddy and not well-recorded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chemistry1973 Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 http://youtu.be/HmjugNKEpeY Sounds like a mix of Rush's Clockwork Angels, along with Foo Fighters, Tool and Disturbed Sounds like Nickelback if they were enjoyable to listen to. Seriously rockin’. Not a fan of the production but it rocks no doubt about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 That hit me right in the feels...Is it metal though??Wolf said it was going to be the only ballad on his new album If this track is labeled a "ballad" then the album will be METAL. The song is average but the homage is excellent and the end is just brutal. Eddie truly loved him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously rockin’. Not a fan of the production but it rocks no doubt about that. I'm hoping this is a demo. The "swishing" hi-hat in the beginning makes me want to put ice picks in my ears. I like the "ballad" better. To copy Fridge. This song is "shite." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) "Distance" is a good tune. I like it. The follow up that Presto-digitation posted not so much. It's very derivative. The kid is talented. Edited November 18, 2020 by ReRushed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
