Hey Greg,

Being a KISS FREAK you get points from me!
Your vocals are very similar to Ace's on this tune, raw and not dressed up at all!

The snare needs some work, but I think overall coming from a KISS fan it is refreshing!
The mix could be less roomy once again but I just enjoy hearing someone do KISS tunes. Especially Ace tunes.
The soloing is pretty good too!

Gorty..

pretty good cover man. that drum kit could use some attention though.

thanks for your input. ace's KISS songs have always been my favorites.

i hate my drum sound in this song. i need to re-record them alltogether. i did some experimenting with mic placements and it didnt work. ive got new mics coming this week so ill be re-doing the drums.

thanks again.

kids of today just dont get how cool a smoking, rocket-firing, les paul is.......

Great vocal. You sound just like Ace.

I really like the recording. Cant say much about that. Cool flange. But...

being a huge KISS fan and somewhat of a perfectionist, I heard a few notes that were missing.

On the main riff you should play the low E open:

5
5 7 7 7
0

And its hard to hear but there is a harmony a fifth up, the second time the riff is played:

7
7 9 9 9 5
5 7 7 7 etc...
0

All around cool recording. I love to hear KISS stuff. When I was growing up I loved KISS and everyone I knew hated them. Ha! I still play stuff like Room Service and Take Me.

Aww crap. The tab didnt come out like I typed it.

I meant the third note of the riff should be the low E open before the 2 Es at the seventh fret.

Hopefully you know what I'm talking about.

 

[Greg_L]

thanks for the tip. i get it.
