I have no issues except a slight de-tuning effect at the beginning. I think a little more bottom end of the vocals would be good, you've got a good voice for this genre. Some cool little things on the bass there. Rockin' lead break dude. I would opt for either a fade out or fast run up to a solid cut off on the ending... but that's me. Sounds very good. Daryl

vechung: Hi, Vicente: How are you, my friend? Hope you're doing great! Thank you very much for giving this a listen, and also for your very kind words, I always look forward to and greatly appreciate your input and observations! I'm happy that you enjoyed the 'frenzied" solo, too, it was sort of a quick and dirty fast take to blow off a little bit of steam. I'm very grateful that you enjoyed the song, and for your friendship and support, Vicente. Best wishes! Bob ==================================== batsbrew: Hey, Rob, Thanks, buddy, I really appreciate you checking it out and your very good detailed observations, and kind words! Yep, I made the mistake of experimenting with my "usual" bass EQ settings while also trying out a new preamp, and it just caused a bit of a difference in both guitar and bass tone and gain staging. As I mentioned above, I think a little more EQ tweaking will hopefully tighten up the low end on the guitars and bass, and get things back into my "normal" ballpark. Thanks again for giving it a listen and your good input, your stuff always sounds amazing, and I value your input very highly. Have a good one! Bob ==================================== philz: Hey, Phil, It's really great to hear from you, buddy, I hope your doing well! Thank you very much for giving this a listen, and for your good input and encouraging words! I appreciate you taking time to check it out even though you're traveling, and it's always good to get observations from all types of listening environments and playback systems. Thank you for the very kind comments and also your friendship and support here on the forum, it truly means a great deal to me! Safe travels, Phil! Bob ====================================

darylcrowley: Hi, Daryl, How are you, buddy? Hope you're having a rockin' weekend! Thanks very much for checking this song out for me, and for your good input and words of encouragement! Yes, Sir, I was experimenting a little bit with a new piece of gear and my gain staging suffered a bit, and still needs a little bit of tweaking. I'm hoping to finally be able to get back to this for some EQ and mix adjustments in the next few days, and will post the remix soon. Thanks again, Daryl, have a good one! Bob ================================== kennywtelejazz: Hey, Kenny, How's it going, brother? Hope you're doing great! Thanks so much for giving this "quickie" a listen for me, and for your good input, observations, and very kind words! I really appreciate you taking time to check it out and comment, and your opinion means a great deal to me. Your latest video post was truly smokin' hot with dynamite playing throughout, great stuff, Kenny! Thanks again, buddy, and have a rockin' weekend! Bob ====================================

Great stuff as usual Bob. My inner head wants to hear more "Frenzy" when the line occurs. Like carry the echo out more or harmonize it or a combination of both or something. Still, really strong song and performance.

Very powerful sounding production - drums are the best sounding I think I have heard from you. Great job overall. Any crits ? Well, I would maybe introduce something over the intro after a couple of bars - maybe just some high pitch feedback, noise type of thing (technical guitar terms there !) as it feels a tad long as is and on the last "frenzy" of the choruses I would suggest some adding some delay so it carries over a little where the rest drops down.

NOTE: Remix Uploaded 5/17/13 after finally getting to get back in the studio! Thanks to everyone for your input, advice and ideas! For the remix I swept out a lot of mud from the rhythm guitars, went back to my original bass guitar EQ setup from my first CD, ramped up the drone guitar intro with a short fade in, took Paulo's suggestion about introducing a short feedback type blast over the intro, and cleaned up a couple of the drum fills. I'm hoping the overall volume levels are okay, and that it translates a bit better on most systems. Let me know what you think. Very sorry for the late replies. For the past two months I've been extremely busy at work, but hopefully I'll be able to get back on here more often soon! THE NIGHT FOX: Hi, James, Thanks a lot, buddy! I really appreciate you checking this out for me, and your very encouraging comments. I’m really glad that you like it, and hope you’re doing well with your new guitar. Have a great night, James! Bob ==================================== SteveStrummerUK: Hey, Steve, How’s my metal head brother from another mother? Hope you’re doing great with your new Line 6 Valve amp, very cool piece of gear! Thanks so much for giving a listen to this little, two hour quickie that I kind of threw together in a rare fit of rage after I had a particularly crazy and frustrating week! LOL, I guess sometimes raw emotion can be converted into some kind of “artistic” expression! I really appreciate you taking time to check it out, and always value your input, opinion and friendship very highly! Best wishes Bob =================================== timidi: Hey, Tim, How are you, buddy? Hope you're doing great! Thank you for lending your valuable ears to this one for me, and for your good ideas and kind words! I really appreciate your input and good instincts! Have a great weekend, Tim! Bob ==================================================== Paulo: Hey, Paulo, Many thanks brother, I really appreciate you giving this a listen and also your good input and ideas! On this new remix, I used your suggestion about introducing something different into the intro, and also faded in the opening drone guitar. Thanks again, Paulo, I always look forward to and greatly appreciate your input. Best wishes! Bob ==================================================== Dude Ivy: Hey, Dude, Thanks so much for coming back for seconds, man, you made my day, brother! It's comments like yours that make the frustrating part of recording and mixing all worthwhile, and also make this such a great place! I really appreciate your encouraging comments, input and support. Have a rockin' weekend, buddy! Bob ====================================================

NOTE: JUST UPLOADED NEW MIX #3 - UPLOADED 5-19-13 LOL, I wasn't happy with Mix #2 after checking it on a few different systems/devices, so, I went back to the drawing board and beefed up the drums and bass, re-eqed the rhythm guitars, adjusted bus levels, and backed off the mastering limiter a wee bit. I think it seems to translate better now, and I'm hoping the overall levels seem okay. YIKES!!! It always sucks trying to get your "ears" back in shape after being away from the recording/mixing process for a couple of months! Thanks for all your input and observations!

I like the new mix, I would like to hear more definition on the bass, maybe cut a notch out of the rhythm guitars, and or maybe boost a bit of the high mids on that bass? But keep in mind? That's coming from a bass player :-) So I tend to focus on the bass? Others may hear things differently.

The Band19: Hey, Robby, big thanks for coming back for seconds on this one. I always look forward to and appreciate your input and observations. I just posted another mix after trying out your suggestion, I think I was able to get a little more "bite" back into the bass after some more EQ surgery on both the bass and rhythm guitars, and also re-leveling all the instrumental buses. After being away from the studio for a couple months, I'm having a little trouble with overall EQ and volume levels. Hopefully, if I can put some more time in, I'll eventually get my ears back into shape. Thanks again, buddy, I always know I can count on you! Have a good one! Bob ====================================
