Just one thing to say....ROcK!! I'd forgotten about that song. Nice take on it.

I never heard it before. Not a bad song. It didn't make me want to jump up and dance around my computer room but, I enjoyed listening to your mix. Did you record all of the tracks yourself? If so, you did a fine job of it. Nice vocals too.

Excellent stuff!, great recording, love the style, good song, the vocals are brilliant too. For some weird reason, it sounds to me like you're signed though and i'm afraid that's no compliment when coming from me! I hope i'm wrong and that you'll never sign. Because the record industry should be destroyed....

Shame it's a cover, when do we get some originals from you guys then??

Cool song. I like your singing style.

 

[Dogman]

Nice job. Sounded very cool. Can't remember what the original sounded like, but this was cool.

Excellent mix. Enjoyed this one. Vocals have a crazed hyper quality that fits the lyrics perfectly… at about :50 I was expecting it to morph into a metal version. Tight playing throughout. The guitar intro though has an odd feel to it, maybe caused by the effect on it - kind of slurs it and makes it sound to me like the rhythm articulation of the 16ths is a little off. To my ear the intro'd sound better with a cleaner gtr sound and then work into the more intensely processed tone in the gtr lines later. Other than that, sounds perfect to me.

I, too dig your singing style on that song. Sounds good!

 

[kraley]

good version

I guess the only thing I would comment on is that your vocal sounds a little thin - the singing is great.

What was the miking of the singer like? Effects?

 

[Megaman]

I love this song! Wore the tape out when I had it. You did a great rockin' cover. Great job!

 

[cellardweller]

Great vocals, not sure if I've heard this song before, but I like it...

*EDIT* -after listening to this many times, I absolutely love this song!

 

[d(-_-)b-Phones]

Thanks for all the feedback guys, I had to break the studio down for the hurricane (dennis) but im back now...

Effect wise on the vocals i just used some reverb. then on the spaced out part i used an OVER tweeked Vocal Auto tune. Thats all i have ever really used auto tune for was weird ass vocal effects.

and I used a cheap ass MXL cond. on this tune.

That crappy vocal mic and the way i sing may be why the vocals sound kinda thin.

I sent a copy of this to willy nelson, lol, I will tell you guys what he says about it.

Cool cover, very nice vocals, and fancy style.
thumbs up.
