Thanks for all your feedback!
Sorry for late reply... ...working all day...
 
...no crits on the mix ? so I guess it tranlsates reasonable ? (I'm never sure...)
 
I'm glad you accept the arrangement. I just played it a bit slower to start with and realized that
all of sudden the lyrics came across much more dramatic. The original version sounds rather tongue
in cheek. I think the lyrics are more up to date then ever, looking at our planet in these times of
global warming,("...rivers overflowing") revolutions, conflicts, financel crisis,("...one eye
taken for an eye") and so on... there are bad moons rising on regular basis.

bapu, do you mean the very first opening lines? Those are frogs insects and nightbirds recorded in
a swamp area. It took me ages to train them. Not to mention how hard it was to find megaphones in
their sizes... :) Thanks for listening !!! (...with earbuds)
 
John, I'm glad to hear you like the mix. Like mentioned above, I can never really tell when a mix
is "finished", so I just posted it like it is.
 
The Band19, ...thanks for directions! ...found it. ooops! it's the *lady's room... :)
The suprisefactor was what I was aiming for. ...yeah Creedence songs offer so much possibilities
for all kind of versions.

timidi, after listening to your great productions, I feel kind of honoured to hear this compliment
coming from you. Thanx!
 
 
Guitarhacker,thanks for your comment! ...happy you dig it! I think when doing a cover version you
should always do it in your own way. And yeah the guitarsolo was indeed a lot of fun to play. I'm
not exactly the fastest guitarist around, so I was trying to pack as much badness as possible into
a few notes.
(and...I should have been warned that *it's on the right ...now I know :)
 
Kenny, this is so cool that you visualize this great venue in context with this track. I'ts a
musicians dream to play there. Unfortunately it's not broadcasted here in Europe, but I just
checked some of the line up. Wow!
Thank you!
 
Rikkie, bedankt! I just love "playing producer" with all the toys and possibilities we have in the
world of DAWs. Sometimes it works and if it doesn't, just start all over again. It's an endless
learning process.
 
Wookie, ...yes it is ;) brilliant comment :))
Actually John C. Fogerty still owns the rights. I left the the melody intact.
Thanks for listening! :)
 
twisted6s, thank you very much !!! your comment is highly appreciated!
 
Once again gentlemen, thank you all for listening and commenting on my interpretation of Bad Moon
Rising!
...and as I'm looking out my back door, I see a big fat yellow full moon creeping over the roofs of
Amsterdam right now ...and I'm thinking: should I go out for a little while...? hmmm...
 
Stay save y'all!

Outstanding production and performances... very cool arrangement too...
I live in southeast Alabama, on the Little Choctawhatchee River... So I'm used to the swamp noises... I'm lookin' at that same full Moon right now... Well done Daniel...

A fine relaxed version of this classic.
I particularly enjoyed your singing and you had a great guitar sound

Agree with everyone else. Very, very good. I don't like cookie cutter covers...this was far from that!

Daniel, I think John Fogerty would be very much pleased with what you did with his tune. You put your own very creative twist to this - it's really very cool.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for your positive feedback!
 
Champchas,  I've  never been really confident about my singing attempts, so I'm double happy about your comment. Thanks a lot ! 
 
Clintmartin, ...Yeah, what's the use of copying something that's already done by the original artist. Even when doing cover versions live, I would always give it the style of the                     band I'm playing with. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks! 
 
Mark, ...I do wonder indeed what comment the man himself would give about it.  Maybe I should post it on his website... or maybe not such a good idea...
            Anyway, thanks for the compliment! 
 
Once again Gentlemen, thank you for listening and commenting!
 
Take care y'all,
Daniel

I've had another couple of listens today actually Daniel, and this is really growing on me. I love all the extra 'transitional' chords you've used (over and above the original's basic arrangement around the I-IV-V chords) to add texture and interest to an old classic.
 
The masterstroke you've pulled off though is slowing the song down to allow these added chords to really ring out.
 
And finally, I can listen to a version of this tune without immediately thinking about An American Werewolf In London, although it's still a great film
