Sounds good to me. I think the vocal should be on top a bit more...and it sounds a little alien among the song...like it isn't sharing the same space or something. Anyway the song sounds good...the vocal isn't selling it though

Feels like the life gets sucked out of the mix when the distorted guitar(s) come in. The mix gets this over compressed feel to it. Not sure I like the dubbled vocal parts, they sound a bit out of place but that's just me. The high falsetto vocal part is too far back.

Very cool. A tight performance and everything is quite clear.
The quieter sections are just so clean and mellow that it maybe lacks a little of the grit or edge of the original (haven't heard this in a while though). The chorus on the clean guitar contributes to this I think. Not a big chorus fan myself and would prefer a more starightforward guitar sound...purely subjective though.
Having said that, when the distorted guitars come in it is a nice contrast and those sections work better for me.
I thought the vocals were good. The volume seemed to fluctuate a bit too much from one section to the other though and sound-wise, they seem like they're floating above the band...could come down a bit at least in places. I dunno - just some ideas...
You absolutely nailed the loud Ka-chunk guitar sounds that preceed the chorus. I was hoping you'd include that bit and it sounded way cool. Very nice job.

I thought it sounded real cool, thought the heavy guitars could be a little wider in the mix...seem kind narrow on my phones....thought the vocals were done well and pretty true to the original....good cover, I dug it

Something sounds weird about it. I think the clean guitars almost sound fake. It's the kind of song that you don't really need to cover unless you're a cover band with paying gigs.
I couldn't really sit through the whole thing just because it doesn't sound like you guys made it your own song. I might as well sit thought the original and even then it's not my type of music so I would turn it off anyway lol

Cool, I liked it Phildude, only thing that stood out a wee bit for me was kinda like what Simman said, when that distorted guitar comes in something just doesn't sit right, maybe just a wee bit too much 10.
Other than that sounded good to me.
