    The Button Factory recording of How Can I Refuse You is hilarious:

    "Hmm, I recorded this at home with about 5 or 6 different layers. For the live show what should I do? I know, I'll play the lead line!"

    Terrible!

    Lads I've listened to a few of his videos today and I honestly think, no joke, that he might be a bit slow or something like. I'm dead serious. :confused:

    I think he has a misguided notion that he's actually **** hot, and that everybody loves his that unique guitar sound he has - you know the one that sounds like its being played with a dick instead of hands. I know people say not to be too harsh on him but come on; surely if he was taking it any bit seriously he'd already know that he's tone deaf and would be better off playing with himself than a guitar.

    Well if he's serious then fair play to him. Sure the only way to become better is to keep playing.

    yeah but don't present it until your actually good. IF he actually improves and becomes good, he'll never live these videos down.

    In his defense he's can sing in tune, relatively speaking. Not all the time but there are worse singers out there in professional bands. The Refuse Song isn't actually that bad, I thought it was a cover of some indie band song before I found out it was an original. The drums were quantized, some people forget this!, although they were too tightly quantized. The mix was awful though. His main problem is playing guitar and singing at the same time, and keeping his guitar in tune. Its totally out of tune and this is a really basic error which would give anyone the impression "crap!." So sorting out tuning, performance problems and mixing would be the main things to focus on.

    Ok, time to talk serious. I wont post any comments on his videos cause I don't like extreme negativity posted on mine so I wouldn't do the same. So here is an open letter to Andrew:

    Andrew Brady, if you see this thread, stop trying so hard! Taking your performance of "Sex On Fire" as an example, this is a song recorded with a four piece band. When it comes to covering it on your own, don't pick up an electric guitar and play the parts that are played on electric in the proper recording. Develop it into your own version, learn to work with what you have. If you are going to perform a song made famous by a band and you only have yourself at your disposal, make it your own.

    Same goes for the vocals, stop trying to drag out notes, ornament notes, put on accents etc. Just do it as it feels comfortable. Listening to your stuff I'm reminded of myself when I was 15/16 and in the middle of my early guitar learning days, learning how to play Metallica and Nirvana et al and being incredibly frustrated at how my playing sounded nothing like the original recordings. You can hold a tune and on the lines of songwriting, with some work there's slight potential. But it's time to sit back and re evaluate what you have going on right now!

    And please, stop recording with Fruity Loops, make the drum lines in it all you want but move on to Acid, Sound Forge, Cubase or anything else but FL!!!

    its fair nuff to say his video's are only for those with 7 hours and 59 minutes (or longer) left to kill in work. i'v seen the bloke, he's dead serious, and REALLY bad. you see where simon cowell is coming from when you get a bloke like this getting onstage at the button factory and not knowing what a song is meant to be. he's not good. accepted. but the thread says you want to kill him.

    some would say this is a tad harsh. somewhere...

    hmmm,
    i used to record some songs on mini disc back in the day, let some friends listen to them for feedback, always polite but honest, and when i'd listen to them a year later, i'd hear where the problems were. that was 8 or so years ago,

    i think if i were at that stage now, i may have put em on you-tube, thinking it would give some "exposure" but the danger is that you also open yourself to ridicule, like this kid.

    by all means record yourself, but when you start to record, do it for the purposes of learning how to set levels and tune your performance,
    having to check where you're fretting and turning away from the mic..
    which is peaking more often than not, rythm all over the place....
    and please god dont broadcast it untill its as close to perfect as you can get it. (unless of course its a tutorial on how not to perform and record a song!)
