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.
