The Queen- JDJ original song/video collab (jenndye429, nzmetal, Ddye) plus new band name…

There’s a real and true momentum in simplicity :blush:. Very often simplicity stands out of over complicated things. At least for me. I guess that’s true for music too!

But you worked with your knowledge and feel for music and created something new, which is pretty impressive. Kind of a priceless musical self-experience, I reckon? :+1:

Thank you Rogier! :grin:

I’m very late to the party. Fantastic video and great song. Too long? No, not at all.

I’m curious what will happen to the queen now. What’s next? A complete breakdown? Will the slight gothic touch turn more industrial? With long, sweet and painful metal solos maybe?

You could really almost make a concept EP out of this :sunglasses:

Thank you so much Nicole! Glad you enjoyed it and were good with the length!

That’s a good idea! We have talked about doing an EP once we have at least 4 songs done. Would be kind of cool to do more of a concept one :+1: :crown:

@nzmetal I guess I was too subtle . . .

But most significantly, you had that gear in your wardrobes :joy:

I guess that is a little to dry for the Kiwi palette?

But it did make me wonder how else you might spend your time away from guitar? Did you get a gig as an Extra in some kind of take-off of 50 Shades?

Ah yes, a touch too tame the first time round, David :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: :joy:
I must admit, this outfit was a new purchase specifically for this production (part of my massive NZ$38 budget :wink:), but having it now opens up some other opportunities I suppose? :thinking: :flushed: :rofl:

You’re a bold and brave man, Jeff, I’m not even sure I know where to purchase such an item, let alone the confidence and go in and actually try it on and buy.

Hey guys, sorry a bit late to the party. I did listen to/ watch it straight away, but never got around to commenting.
Well, it’s all been said above and there’s not much point in simply repeating, apart from adding my vote to raising the volume of the guy in the gimp-suit’s guitar :wink:
The fact that you not only collaborate, but persist with it and improve with every production is something folk here should sit up and take note of.
Stellar! :dizzy:

Thanks Brian! :grin: :+1:

We definitely strive to improve and going back and listening to our first song from a few months ago I can see/hear that we are :grin:

Well @Jenndye429, @nzmetal , @DDye, you’ve done it again.
Like some others, I watched this straight away but just haven’t been able to get around to commenting.

First off I just have to say that Dan’s expression, or rather complete lack of, is just eerie. I think it must be difficult to play with 0 expression.

There is so much to be impressed with I don’t even know where to start. I think it’s largely been said. Great original music, amazing production, special effects ( The sudden bite out of the apple really stood out to me), and costumes. Very polished. Seems like you are having a blast with all of this.

Well done, I really enjoy these.

Wow what a great treat, another gem from US/NZ team up! Well done to you all, I agree Dan’s facial expression made him completely unrecognizable :grinning: liked the idea of a jam towards the end, I think it came out really musical and engaging. I agree with David, slightly more volume on Jeff and Dan as Jen’s powerful vox overshadow instrumental element of outro :wink: but it was really good video clip, and even better costumes! Cant wait to see what you cook up next… perhaps something Halloween themed? :grinning:

Thanks for watching Dale! I kept telling Dan he looked like a white walker from Game of Thrones :laughing: He went to theater school
In New York for a couple of years and you can definitely see his training coming out in these videos :wink:

We really are! Nobody is going to be able to stop us now since it’s too fun :wink:

Thanks for checking it out Adi and glad you liked the jam! We really liked the idea of this song being a potential album/EP ender with the fade out.

Dan will love that everyone found his expression so eerie! That’s definitely what he was going for :+1:

Noted! :wink: The three of us were discussing how we are probably going to have to go back and re-mix all the songs at some point, especially if they end up together on an EP. We have learned a lot throughout the course of making these! I can definitely hear some tweaks we can make to make all of them sound more cohesive :grin:

Thanks! You never know when we will pop back up again… :wink:
