This sounds pretty good to me even if you do suck. I had to leave the room for a minute, and when I came back I thought Lenny Kravitz was playing.
This song has a lot of potential, and you show a ton of promise. I'll leave it for the hard rock experts here to comment on the production, but I like it, and I'll listen again.

Sounds like you had fun, if only my whammy bar usage sucked as poorly as yours  . My only observation is it sounds a little over squished and a little lacking in air. Not that I know anything. Thanks for sharing, nice tune

Reminded me of a tune I heard awhile back...... believe it or not it was a Christian rocker....
This sounded good. Listening on small computer speakers.

Thanks guys! I havent owned a guitar with a whammy bar in, omg 20 years of playing! I just got tired of not having the option of using it and got 2 new guitars with floyd roses. Its nice when you get new gears that inspire you to go to strange and new places.

Very well done - really liked the tone on the guitar during the lead and I thought the first half of the lead section was terrific - well thought out and executied. 2nd half - more standard but hey, it was cookin'. My other nit crit is that I would have liked to hear some big harmonies on the chorus but that's just personal taste. Allan www.youtube.com/user/Kittibutt

" I would have liked to hear some big harmonies on the chorus ", ME TOO! Some times I do harmonies and sometimes I dont. Its way more a lack of proper singing I guess. I dont feel comfortable doing it if it doesnt just come to me and then theres that whole sounding good thing hahaha!

Cool song. Performance is great. Mix is a little flat. Vox are a bit thin, and could come up. I would also ease up on the low cut a bit on them. A little more width and definition in the guitar tracks would be welcome too.

Nothing wrong with the song structure or perfomances.
The following are subjective thoughts:
Seems like the all the guitars are very centered. I'd have panned the rhythms more. The bass is almost there. A little clarity in the tone might help.
Just now reading shad's (foxwolfen) comment. Flat mix. That's it.

I only did one rhythm guitar track im sure thats why its centered but I can space it a bit. More bass Bapu, agreed, sometimes I worry I have too much! I actually did have alot of low cut on the vocals, geez what was I thinking! Ill mess aground with it and see if I cant fatten em up wolf. Thanks for the input guys!

ok heres the remix... I dont think I can space the rhythm guitar track like I had hoped but thats what I get for doing one track.... I did mess with the EQ a bit to try and fatten it up a bit. I also added some color to the bass guitar and removed the low cut on the vocals and brought them up a little! http://snd.sc/MIom83 see how this sounds

I love hard rock. Nice work.
It has a really nice riff feel to it. I like a little more attack in the guitars, but that's just a taste thing.
