Sounds really good to me man. I was cool with the original jam as is, but the additions your friend has made really make this more of a complete sounding song than I expected.
I think the sounds you both contributed mesh well together, and it seems like you've already taken the above feedback...
Haha!
You got a patriotic fever, but you’re a science disbeliever. But you can trust your gut.
That was pretty funny. Sarcastic, but subtle enough to be lost on most audiences. Clever.
Sounds good. Agreed on the hats though.
Sweet.
I haven’t heard this tune in ages but it was always one of my favorites of his. Kind of a transition from the Experience to the Band of Gypsies sound.
Guitar tone is insanely good as is the solo. What are you using for gear here?
I kinda missed a higher back up vocal part during the...
Wow. That synth sure chews up a lot of real estate.
As a listener though, I was happy to hear it dominate the way it does. A great, big sound. Drums were awesome as usual. No complaints here. Nice job.
Cool.
I went straight to mix 4 and skipped 2 & 3 (sorry). I then went back to mix 1 to refresh my memory, then toggled back and forth between 1 & 4 for a bit.
I think it's a big improvement. Lead vocal is much more present now. BG Vocals are clearer as well. I think the drums sound way cooler...
I think I agree with the prior two posters.
If you brought the vocals down a tad, you'd have a pretty good mix.
Personally, I'd try to more or less split the difference between the 1st and second mixes. I like what you did, and it's better, but you went just a bit too far.
Turn down both the...
Awesome. Psyched to hear a new song from you.
I listened to it a bunch of times on my studio phones, but through my work laptop which has kinda crummy audio. I don't have a way to play tracks here apples to apples like I listen to other music at home. I tried to use bluetooth to stream it over...
I used to face this a lot back when a Roland drum machine was my primary source of drum sounds.
I tried a ton of different things with varying degrees of success. The trial and error (mostly error) part was actually quite fun at times.
I have tried, and you might consider, the following:

Overall I think this sounds good. I like that you stayed close enough for this to be easily recognizable without sounding too close to the original (which would be boring).
There's a bunch of little things I would change in the mix myself, but maybe mostly personal preference things?
I...
Sorry! I bet it is my laptop then.
I just listened through my studio phones on my iPhone and sure enough...no swells. Sorry for the wild goose chase there. Hope you didn't invest too much time hunting them down.
I don't have much experience with these sorts of tones outside of other tracks I've heard on this site here and there over the years.
I think this sounds pretty good though? I'm on HD280 phones, and the guitar tones were sufficiently crunchy and the playing seemed very tight. I toggled back and...
Thanks for checking back...
You might be right...so hard for me to tell with all of that verb and delay on the vocals, but I’ll give it a try. Thank you!
Chuck!!!
Great to see on here again!
I hope you are well and still making music?
I’m sorry you’re not digging the buzz bass so much on...
