Posted this song a little while ago and recently remixed it with in X2.  Added Console Emulation on the Drums, also tweakied the snare EQ to make it sound more like the old VH (pushed it 12DB at 500Hz).  Added the Concrete Limiter to the Bass to give it a little more lift and tweaked the guitar reverb a little.  Also mixed in a Guitar Rig 5 patch with my Podfarm Patch to give it a little more sparkle.     Robby on Vox (The Band19)  Have a listen if you like.

This song is hard enough for Van H. to even sing,so im surprised you would pick a song with vocals with such precise kes.
music was really awesome,very tight and nice sounding..i really love this song.
remember when it first came out in 79 and i cherish the fact i was one of the many few to actualy see van halen back in the day (fair warning tour) still have a program i bought there.

vocals are a little on the mediocore side for me.so this is a half and half for me sir.
got to give you alot of credit for the effort and the stones to do a song like this.
those harmonys are so tough,even with perfect volume control.

nice job..rock on.

Hey, Mark,
 
I remember the first mix sounded great, but I think the new mix is absolutely awesome!
 
The performances are phenomenal, you managed to really captured the vintage Van Halen sound and vibe in the mix, and Robby's vox sound fantastic.
 
Excellent work, guys!

Wow.... nice cover... vox sounded good to me... playing was spot on too... 

This one of the few VH songs I played back in the day in bands I was in. 

well done

Another wow! Great cover. Excellent production and the voice! The vox seemed out of time in few places like 0:30, 0:39. Some timing issues around 1:04 on the guitar.

You tackled an incredibly difficult song to cover and did very well.  My hats off to you and Robby.
