That's cool. I like both the tune and voice. The guitar is great~

Hey, James, how's it going, buddy?  Hope you're having a great week!
 
Many thanks for checking in on this super fast throw together, and for your input and observations!
 
Yeah, I was actually purposely trying for a "darker" modern metal guitar sound on this song, more in the vein of Sevendust, Godsmack or Disturbed, but I may experiment with just a touch of sparkle, as you recommended to see what happens.  Right now I've got them pretty much high and low passed with the mids scooped a bit.
 
Your 100% right about the drums, with how fast the recording was going, I may have gotten a little over enthusiastic with the drum fills, but I'm hoping it's not too over the top.  My drums are usually pretty tame, but you know I've got to get a little adventurous once in a while! 
 
Thanks again for checking this out for me.  I always look forward to and greatly appreciate your ideas and suggestions, because they're always right on the money.
 
Have a good one, James!

How's it going, my friend?  Hope all is going well in your neck of the woods!
 
Thanks very much for giving this a listen and also for your kind comments.  I really appreciate your input and observations.  You know I'm seriously thinking about maybe sneaking an Am in my next song just for you, buddy!
 
Honestly, thank you for checking this out and commenting, you've always been one of the nicest guys on this forum, along with quite a few of my other CHB buddies.

Hey, Bit,
 
It's really great to hear from you!  Thank you very much for checking in on this one for me, and also for your kind words of encouragement.  I really appreciate the compliment, especially because 70's rock is what I originally cut my teeth on!
 
As Scotty mentioned above, sometimes a new instrument can give a nice automatic burst of inspiration, and this song practically wrote and recorded itself!  I felt like I was just along for the ride.
 
Thanks again, Dave.  I really appreciate you taking time to listen and comment, as well as all of the very helpful advice and good information that you always provide up in the Techniques forum.
 
Have a great night, my friend!
Bob

Hi, Rik,
 
Thank you very much for checking out the song for me, and also for your very kind words!
 
Yes sir, you are correct, I tuned to Drop C# for this song.  I often use a variety of different tunings on my songs just to try to achieve different sounds and fuller textures.  I think sometimes it's fun to experiment with odd tunings like DGCFAD, Drop C, BEADG#B, etc. just to see how different progressions work within those tunings.
 
Thanks again, Rik, I'm very happy that you enjoyed the song, and truly appreciate your input.
 
Best wishes!
Bob

Hey, Warren,
 
How are you, buddy?  Doing great, I hope!
 
Thanks so much for checking in on this one for me, and for your encouraging words and comments!
 
Yeah, I really got lucky on this song, it just came together like a bolt of lightning, and practically wrote and recorded itself.  I wish they would all be that easy! 
 
Thanks again for giving this a listen, and for all of your input and comments in the past, I really appreciate and value your opinion.  Have a great weekend!

Sounds awesome Bob love that thick rhythm, solos and vox are top notch as well. Always a pro sounding production from you.

Hi, Grant,
 
How are you, my friend?  Doing great, I hope!
 
Thank you so much for giving this song a listen, and also for your very encouraging words.  I truly appreciate your input and observations, and always look forward to your opinion.
 
By the way, all of you boys from the CHB did a fantastic job on "Armageddon", that was a real tour de force.
 
Thanks again, Grant, and have a great day!
Bob

Great song Bob, I like your vocals alot great sound there.  The guitar looks & sounds fantastic.  Nothing like a new instrument to get things going!

Dan

fantastic rockin' from you again, Bob!  I just love your classic rock vibe!  nice harmonies and great guitar solo!

drums might need a little tweaking, but they're not bad at all.

really kickin' stuff!

 I thought the song was top notch in just about every way. If I had to pick anything with it I might say that even though the vocals were right on and sounded good, the way the vocal sits in the tune seemed to lack something and I'm only comparing this to the most top notch pro mixes out there out of 10 I would give ya a 9.5!

Hi, Guys,
 
Sorry, I was away with work for a few days.  So I'm just catching up with some comments and replies, and BANG down goes the forum for three days!  Any way, I'm glad to see things are back up and running.

Hi, Jeff,

Wow, I'm very humbled and happy for those three comparisons, you really made my day.  I truly appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment, and I'm grateful for your input.
 
Have a great holiday weekend!

Hi, Dan,
 
It's really great to hear from you!
 
Thank you for checking in on this song for me, and also for your very kind words!  You're definitely 100% right about a new instrument giving me a good old kick in the pants, creativity wise.  When you really think about it, it's actually amazing how a simple inanimate object can spark creativity and inspiration in musicians, artists, painters, sculptors, authors, etc.
 
Who would have thought that a new piece of wood and six metal strings would kick me back into gear?
 
Anyway, thanks very much, and have a great holiday weekend, Dan!

mcourter:

Hey, Mark,

It's great to see you around, buddy! How's that custom "Courter" guitar that you built? I hope you're still playing it, because it sure sounds good!

Thanks for giving this a listen, and for your very kind words. Yep, I was purposely going for a darker sounding, alt-metal guitar tone for this song to try to give it a more modern feel. You're definitely right about getting a bit heavier tone-wise!

Thanks again, and have a great day!
Bob

BIABDude:

Hey, dude, thanks for checking this out and for your kind comments! I'm going to take another close listen to the cymbals, as per your suggestion to see if I can detect what you're hearing.

Thanks for listening and commenting, I really appreciate your input, have a good one!

Hi, Mike,

Thank you for checking this song out, and also for your very kind words!

It's really funny, in all my years of playing, I had never even picked up a PRS until the night that I bought this one. I actually went there to buy another Gibson Les Paul, but man, I was really surprised and impressed with the two PRSs that caught my eye that night! I'm very pleased with the new PRS, and will probably end up buying another one some time in the future.

Thanks again for giving this a listen and for taking time to comment! I appreciate your input, and it really means a lot to me.

Have a good one, Mike!
Bob

Great, now I'm going to have to buy a green guitar.

Totally awesome tune.  Very haunting melody.

Congrats on the PRS.  I love mine and find I play it more than my other 6 electrics.  I like that you have a toggle switch for your pickups.  Mine has the coil taps too, but for some reason they put a rotary switch on it.  Very slow and hard to tell where you are switching to.  I'll have to mod that when I get a chance.
