Due to your newfound fame in the Rock Cover charts we might be better off to wait on the revolt! Congrats!

:-) it is my "distinct" pleasure to be able to record w/Mr. Markno999,,, U all know that I am certifiable? However, please don't judge Mark w/the same measurement stick... I am a crazy MF'er... I know this about me? You know this about me... I'm a nice guy? But a little bit crazy... I accept this. Mark however, on the other hand? Seems to be completely sane? So the fact that we can collaborate, and create something pretty good? Is pretty cool :-)
 
I thank God for Mark... He is the f'ing man...

This is a great job, Mark & Robbie!  I might bring the distorted guitar down just a hair except during the solos, but I'm sure it's probably true to the original this way since Eddie was always "up front"
 
Robbie - nice DLR work on this.  you're a versatile vocalist!

Excellent job on this guys!! Robbie & Mark the vocals (+backup vocals), and guitar work is really good. I'm a huge VH fan and totally enjoyed this. Like others have said, I also thought there was a bit too much verb on the guitar, but that was only noticieable by itself.....with the other instruments, it seemed to fit ok. The "brown sound" was very close to the original and nicely done as well. Loved it all 3x....
 
Really good job fellas!!
 
How about I'm the One for the next project?

One of the best covers I've heard! Fun to listen to and pretty close to the original. Great playing and singing. I couldn't come even close to being able to do this.

Leadfoot - Thanks for the listen.   Appreciate that you noticed the feel, it is not easy with MIDI drums and these rhythms.
 
SteveC - Thanks for the comment.  Appreciate it.
 
Dan - Thanks, glad you like the bass, have played guitar for years but never really dabbled much with the bass.   It is a whole different beast.  
 
CreatingNoise - Thanks for the listen.  The vocals really did make it shine, I have to admit.   Still working on an update.   I think the lower mids of both guitar and bass are lacking a bit on this version so currently working on an update I hope to post in the next day or two.   Spent a lot of time on the BGV mixing to get those just right.
 
Teego - Thanks, appreciate the comment.   I agree on the guitar reverb, I have reduced the reverb on the guitar along with the changes mentioned in the response above.   Very simple instrumentation on this song but the details with effects and EQ are quite challenging, for me at least;)
 
Regards

Beagle - Appreciate the comment, pulled back the guitar a bit on the updated version.
 
Mesh - Thank you.   Pulled back the verb on the guitar and a few other updates on the new version.
 
Gtrpastor -  Appreciate the listen.  Glad you liked it.
 
Rimshot - Appreciate the comment. 
 
Posting an updated version at the top.   Made a number of changes including pulling back the guitar verb, increasing the lower-mid's on the Guitar and Bass, turned the toms up, and a few other little tweaks here and there.  Leaving the old version links for the time being.  Thanks for the feedback.
 
Regards
