Dude - first off the tune is hot!  The singer is great!  On the mix - everything sounds perfect to me.  IMO a difficult thing in this genre is getting the kick / bass guitar right.  The kick sounds perfect - just the right amount of compression and the right EQ.  And the bass guitar fits in really well.  And all the other tracks are well mixed and crystal clear.  Can you explain how you arrived at that punchy kick?

The first thing i did was replace the kick with a sample from Superior Drummer because the whole drum kit sounded pretty good except the kick. I tried everything i knew to do to it but i couldnt get it like i wanted so, i replaced it using audio snap. So the kick is 100% sample. I got an EQ and the Cakewalk TS-64 on the kick bus. All the drums have parallel compression on them. So, i cheated on the kick but i think it rocks pretty good and it sounds really good in my truck too!
Thanks to You and Tim for listening!

You did a super job on the mix!  This is a good paradigm for this genre.  It gives me something to shoot for which is the best compliment I can give.  You can mix my stuff anytime!

Great job.  This mix sounds better loud than soft in that the punch really comes out when played loud.  Love the vocals and lead guitar work.

Thanks to all who listened and took the time to comment. I've been takin a break from mixing because for a while thats all i did or thought about. It was time to get outside and move around and more important, give my ears a break! I went from this song to mixing two songs for people on this forum. I'd mix every night and listen every chance i got thoughout the day. I've just been enjoying listening to music again!! But i still pick the mix apart! LoL!
Thanks again for listening!!

Sounds like you had a good start to work from.
 
Than mix translates well here though as noted it is hot.
