Sounds great to me + woke up all the sleepy neighbours on a wet Sunday evening in Birmingham, UK.
 
Great guitar riff + song lyrics.
 
Thanks for sharing.
 
Good Job!

I double Bob!
I'd love to hear this track with a different drum pattern - something fast and complex. There must be a metal drummer who could do this justice.
The guitaring is ace, love the vocals when they get full on going. :)

Hey, there, Wook!  How are you, brother?  Hope you're doing well!
 
Thanks so much for giving this a listen and for your always good input and observations!
 
I've been trying to carve out a little more time to get back into the studio to try to work on stuff and get my mixing ears back.  Hopefully, after the holidays I'll be able to get back to focusing on music again and be able to spend more time back here on the forum!
 
Thanks again, John, greatly appreciate your support and friendship!
 
Have a great week!

love the lick Bob - definitely on it's way. Mix-wise, sounds like it's pretty close

Nice driving rock tune.  I like your style despite the fact that hard rock/metal is not one of my favorite genres.  But I still like your sound, particularly your vocal harmony work.

Hi, Bill,
 
Thanks for checking this out for me, and for your good input and kind words, greatly appreciated!
 
Yes, Sir, being mainly a guitarist, the drums are always the hardest thing for me to play, record and mix, and I'm always experimenting trying to get what I'm hearing in my head.  I usually end up either attempting parts that I really can't play well enough, or making everything too basic for the song structure, and over the years the guys here on the forum have helped me realize that in my case, less is more.  So, I just try to play what I'm hearing in my head, basic kick, snare and hats as steady as I can first, then come back and punch in to fix mistakes, then I add the fills and cymbals later and hope for the best.  LOL,  Luckily for me, the guys here on the forum usually point me toward the things in my drum tracks that really stick out like a sore thumb, and I try to touch things up from there!  So, for this one, I'm hoping to try to beef up the drums a little bit over the weekend.
 
It's funny you mentioned Rod.  I actually had a few drinks with him, Paul Taylor, Fred Coury and two guys from the BulletBoys way back in 1989 in Binghamton, NY after an arena concert.  Killer drummer, if I could play like him I'd probably be a drummer instead of a guitar player trying to play drums!  I always really liked Winger and I've seen them five or six times over the years.
 
By the way, your recent "St. James Infirmary Blues" cover was outstanding, really good stuff, Bill!
 
Anyway, thanks again for giving this a listen and commenting, that's what makes this forum such a great place to keep learning this stuff and trying to improve.
 
Have a great weekend!
Bob

Soundstage is nice and wide with good separation between the instruments. Guitar playing is top notch and the vocals are well recorded and sit well within the mix. My only critique is the drums, for a rock track they are touch tame for my taste. Other than that I enjoyed this and all I can say is - nice one and keep rocking.

Hey, Bjorn,
 
Thank you very much, I really appreciate you giving this a listen and your kind words of encouragement! 
 
I'm very happy about your comment about your local radio station because that's sort of what I've been shooting for since 2010.  I've been trying to combine Classic Hard Rock and 80's Hair Metal styles with the new Modern Rock/Alternative Metal that's being played a lot these days, but keeping the more melodic vocals and harmonies from the older stuff.  So, it's good to hear that it sounds similar to what's on your local station! 
 
Thanks again for your input and comments, truly appreciated!
 
Have a great night!
Bob
