2022-09-15 17:06:17 +0000 UTCI think this could work if you had a second instrumental track to add some melody; like the lead guitar fills from say, Sultans of Swing, or some of Steve Vai's stuff.

2021-03-08 17:22:49 +0000 UTCWould Gerardo's Rico Suave work with this?

2021-03-05 16:26:10 +0000 UTCI was a bit disappointed to find out this is not a mashup including Flash by Queen. :-( This one works a bit too well, maybe. To me it sounds like a song someone would actually come up with by themselves. Reminds me a of Living Colour or Faith no More. You did a great job finding this match of course but the genre cross-over you usually aim for is not that apparent.

2021-03-05 12:44:54 +0000 UTCA lot of your mashups incorporate more from the song that provides the vocals, and this Pantera song just allows no space for anything else. It's much more sonically dense than most things you use. I think that contributes to the overall sense that the combination results in it coming out flat, and the lackluster delivery of the vocals doesn't help. Basically, there's just no variety, it just chuga-chuga-chuga-chuga's along.

2021-03-05 02:26:11 +0000 UTCSounds promising! Totally different vibe, but DJ Schmolli's "Faith Message" (George Michael + Grandmaster Flash) is a cool groove using that same track.

2021-03-05 02:14:26 +0000 UTCIt's actually not bad and I like it. I'm a big fan of Flash and "The Message" song. But if you're looking for some more intensity, you can try either Mystikal's "Shake It Fast (aka "Shake Ya A**)", Onyx's "Slam", Juvenile's "Back That Thang Up", or Cypress Hill's "Insane In The Brain".

2021-03-05 01:00:10 +0000 UTCI want all of it - in every configuration! Pantera vocals with Furious Five backing track / trading verses with Grandmaster Flash playing over Pantera's track / plus Pete Fountain playing clarinet for the fills and the ocarina break from 'Wild Thing' as a solo. Woo-hoo!

2021-03-04 21:51:26 +0000 UTCNever heard that one. Pretty cool.

2021-03-04 21:51:15 +0000 UTCBeastie Boys is a good idea. I still need to do one with White Wedding!
Bill McClintock
2021-03-04 21:49:18 +0000 UTCGood call.
Bill McClintock
2021-03-04 21:48:26 +0000 UTCYeah, that was pretty dull. It lacked oomph.
Matt Rose
2021-03-04 21:42:35 +0000 UTCCheck out “Ring My Bell” by DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince. I don’t think the chorus would work, but I think the verses should. Since you like this chorus, maybe you could swap them out. Not sure, but thought I’d try and help!
David
2021-03-04 21:07:47 +0000 UTCI think it'd be worth it to try the other way around. Or maybe some DMX or heavier Eminem (though they're not really like Grandmaster Flash). Haha. Maybe Beastie Boys...also we need more Billy Idol please! You rock!
Hunter Draper
2021-03-04 21:06:40 +0000 UTCI agree about the vocals lacking intensity. Maybe if there was a way to double the vocals or putting a distortion on one track of vocals. I dunno - just kind of spitballing at this point.
