Great song! Love the hendrix style guitar, i play like that to some extent too.

I dont see why you would redo the vocals. They have some popping and a bit too much of low end to me, but maybe you should try some volume automation, compression and/or EQ to try and solve it.

Didnt you use a pop filter when you recorded them?

Regarding the mix, again, i seem to hear too much low end in the kick and the bass, they are kind of "separated" from the rest. Maybe some EQ to boost the middle and make them more punchy?

The backing vocals have a little too much reverb to my tastes too.

The second solo (The one where you aparently switched guitars to one with a Floyd Rose and a humbucker lol) is a little drowned. Maybe needs some more middle highs?

Great song, i loved it, and that guitar harmony at the end is priceless!
 
I think I might redo the lead vocal I din't use a pop filter as you say and I can't seem to get rid of the popping.

On everything else you said your right on the money I would say, everything from too much bottom end right down to too much reverb on the backing vocals (they sound a bit Gospelish) thanks for the advice

Oh by the way I played the first solo on a humbucking guitar and the second on a standard US strat believe it or not, no floyd rose just a standard floating trem.
 
Like the others I recommend a pop filter. You can make a cheap one with a wire hanger and some panty hose. At the very least I would recommend re-recording just the parts that have popped.
 
Like the hendrixy guitar. A little too compressed for me, but very nice. Like the harmony parts alot.
