    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.

    All the best,
    Lynn

    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.

    " 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!

    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.
