Wow bat, This song is one of the best Rock tunes I heard of yours to date ... Love the production and all the songs intricate changes ... Very punchy playing and singing .. If this tune had anymore Balls you would have to hire a guy with a wheelbarrow to walk behind you to keep yours in safekeeping  all the best, Kenny

Nice! cool intro, great groove, vocals are awesome/mixed well. I'm hearing some nice Brian May guitar influences in there.

Just goes to show you its not about the "latest greatest tools".
Its all about the song.

hey kenny, thanks for rocking with me on this one! it is a complicate mix... but at times, it all breaks down to no more than one rhythm guitar, one solo guitar, bass and drums. the complexity comes and goes... trying to build the arrangment up and down.... jamesg1213
One of my favourites Rob, love this.
i'm so glad you like this particular one jamesG, it's a special one for me. Freddy J

hit deering! yes, S6, and XP...... really, it's mostly just using a DAW as a tape deck. there are better tools now, for EQ, effects..... about the only thing i can't do on a tape deck, is do the midi drum tracks! LOL but sonar works very smoothly for me.

Yeah, it is more important... Like Biodiode I know I'm gonna like the song before I hear it. Just the way it is. And this one did not disappoint at all. Rockin thru and thru, solid groove with some nice fills, and great guitar layering with enough tonal differences so that everything stands out while still gelling. Loved the wah-ishness - is that a manual WAH, auto-WAH or other? Oh, and the solos were absolutely Batsy.

hey steveC!! this thread........ still going?! well, ok! the wah work..... that's on a Budda Wah. that's all just regular real time wah work, i try to be as vocal with it as i can be.... and every once in a while, just let the rocker go wild! heheh i stole that from hendrix, the fast wah thing.... directly, from the end of still raining, still dreaming... at the end of the song, when they are wrapping up the groove one of my favs.

Thanks, I was wondering if it was so good to know. Ah... I know the one! In fact, I still have Electric Ladyland on vinyl. A Merman I Should Turn To Be...

Very nice, Bat. Sounds excellent to my ears. I also like the Wah, work, very well done. Really like how you handled the intro.
The only nit I would have is purely personal preference, at 3:35, when things calm down briefly, I might have gone for less doubling of the vocal to make it slightly more intimate.

hey michael! thanks for listening...... glad you like the wah stuff, i'd do wah ALL THE TIME!! LOL 'cept it'd drive folks nuts. the breakdown with vox at 3:35, that's not voice doubling, that's 3-part harmony. but yea, having just the one voice right there would have totally worked, yea, i hear that. i hadn't really thought of that during the mix phase.... i guess i wanted to get right into that 3 part harmony thing kind of like a trippy beatles seque, maybe my rundgren influence as well. the idea, was to super space it out right before the trippy intro to the solo proper. the guitars are kinda doing the same thing, coming out of the vocal and into the solo... it's one of those things you dont' really pick up on, til you've heard it the 3rd or 4th time....
