Hi Bob,

When you say "Power Rock" you're not kiddin'!

I'm listening on a laptop and it sounds fantastic.  Very cool tune.  The guitar tone and playing is killer, as expected, but for some reason I always forget what a great singer you are...the vocal and harmonies are excellent.

It's always great to hear new music from you.

Bob, hi.

Man, you always blow me away - this is just so well done. You just seem to continue to come up with original music that always turns out to be a top notch recording.

Congrats - fantastic.

Hi, Dena,


Thanks you so much for checking this one out for me, and also for your very kind words!  I really appreciate your input and observations, and I'm very glad that you liked it.


I just want to mention that you and Will did an amazing job on your latest song post, "Megabomb".  Pure dynamite with great writing, performance and production, really good stuff!


Thanks again, Dena, I value your input highly!
Bob

Hi, Karl,


Thank you very much for giving this a listen, and for your kind words of encouragement, and also for checking out some of my other stuff!  I've been working like crazy remixing quite a few of the older songs on my site, and hope to be re-uploading some of them in the next few weeks.


Thanks again for taking time to listen and comment, it really means a lot to me.  Have a great day!

Hi, Tim,


How are you, buddy?  Doing great, I hope!


Many thanks for checking in on this for me, and for your very kind words!  It's always great to hear from a fellow Pennsylvania musician, and I really appreciate you giving this a listen and your input.


Have a good one, Tim!

Hi Bob. There is the abrupt change in there and abrubt ending but this is excellent as always. Performances all round are fantastic. You sure do know who you are musically and I hate being redundant when I comment on your tunes but the lyrics in the verses and the choruses that follow in your songs are delivered with such style, authority and just killer.

NOTE: Mix #2 up 12/5/11 - to address some of the issues commented on. Many thanks to everybody for listening and providing input!

Great work as always, Bob. Nice intro and kicking tune. Reminds me of early Deep Purple (IE. Fireball )  I think it's the combination of the Ian Pace drumming, Richie Blackmoresque guitar playing  and Ian Gillian vocal work.

Hey Bob! Sorry I missed this...you know I always drop a few comments on your stuff. :) Really solid tune here so far as I listen while typing. LOL @ James Yo Yo....so funny how we hear things man....I loved the kick on this. Hahahaha! Ah wait...kick a lil loose at 1:10...that's gotta be what ya mean. Something sounded a bit strange there Bob...can you hear it?

Ok, the rest though...this is killer man. You're doing much better with the bass guitar sub lows bro. Much more defined than past recordings. That's some super low bass though...hahaha! Makes my bile ducts shake over here. LOL!! Vocally...you never disappoint man....and the guitar playing...always fantastic both rhythm and lead. Good vocal harms too bro...killer job and definitely one of the best I've heard from you to date. :)

Oh wow..another new one...Cemetery Winds?! I'm slipping...I missed two Bob O tunes...uggh...sorry about that man. Been busy over here like crazy the past few weeks. Trying to make up for it between video renders over here. LOL!

This is a nice moody instrumental...smooth sounding...melodic...well played for the song and the mood...good call not to shred over it...good restraint man. I think I might have failed if I was playing on this. LMAO! Great job Bob...really liked this too. :)

-Danny

Even better Bob! This thumps along nicely. I'm jealous of your vocals. I like how you switch from doubled to single.

Well done, again!

hey bobster!  great tune!

I didn't read all of the comments above, forgive me if I repeat something.  I'm not "feelin'" the drums on this one.  not very 'punchy' I guess, the kick is kind of flat and the snare is a little dull.   and they seem a little too "wet"

vox are great, but they are also quite wet.

great tune!  love your guitar work!

great job Bob...

Danny Danzi:


Hey Danny, how's it going, brother?  Hope you had a rockin' weekend!


No sweat, buddy, I know what you mean about being busy.  Things move fast around here and I'm always trying to catch up on songs that I might have missed after being off the forum for four or five days at a time.  I do always look forward to and greatly appreciate your input, ideas and observations, and I always learn something from your posts.


Thanks for dropping by on this one and for your kind words!  Yep, I'm giving this one another quick once over, and hopefully I'll be able to post the final mix tomorrow night or Tuesday.  I'm still doing a little bit of EQ surgery, mainly on the bass tracks and the drums bus, trying to squeeze out a touch more instrument separation for the entire mix.


Also thanks for checking checking out "Cemetery Wind", it's going to be the intro to "Razor's Edge" to kick off my CD.  I'm in the process of polishing up all of the mixes that are up on my page, and also a few brand new quickies, and should have the new versions uploaded in the next couple of weeks.


Quick story: I remember when I first joined here and was a total newbie.  Not knowing the forum protocol, I threw my first three ever, horrifically dreadful Sonar mix attempts all into one thread, and you were one of the first few people out of about six or seven other very kind folks who are also still around here, to jump in and get me going in the right direction with how mixing in a DAW actually works.  Thanks agan, for checking this out for me and for your encouraging comments!


Have a good one, Danny!

Guitarpima:


Hey, Robert,


Thanks a lot, buddy, I really appreciate you coming back for a second helping on the remix for this one, and also your very kind words!


As I mentioned above to Danny, I'm actually still trying out a few last minute tweaks here and there on this and should have the revised final mix up in the next day or two.  If you still have any patience left with this song, check back in a couple days and please let me know what you think.  I'm always very grateful for your input and observations, and really appreciate your support on my stuff.


Oh, yeah, really nice job on your new Radiohead cover, great work!


Have a good one!
Bob

Hey, Daryl, how's it going, buddy?  Hope you're doing well!


Thanks for checking in on this one for me, and for your inspiring comments!  Although, we sure don't want your heart to explode! 


Yep, I'm finally starting to get a little more confident with my mixes, after a couple of years of good advice and input from you and the other very helpful guys and gals on the forum.  Believe me when I say that to me, this place is truly a valuable resource for learning how to improve recording and mixing skills.


Thanks again, Daryl, have a great night!

Beagle:


Hey, Reece,


How are you, my friend?  Hope everything's going great for you!


Thanks for giving this one a listen for me, and also for your kind words and good input!  Yes, sir, I just uploaded Mix #3 after doing some more tweaking and polishing.  Hopefully, the drums have a little more "beef", as per your suggestion, and the mix separation sounds better on all of the instruments.


Thanks for checking in on this one for me, I really appreciate your input and observations, and value your opinion highly.  Have a great night, buddy!

You're a master of power rock Bob and this one's no exception. This expldes on my speakers and the mix and production are exceptional. Great guitar tones. Loved the guitar solo: Just perfect. Excellent vocal performance Loved the changes in this that kept things interesting. Excellent work all-round Bob.

It just get's better Bob!

I like the bass line. It's a nice support of the riffage. I like the guitar tones. Maybe they could be a little brighter but that's subjective though. Either way it's great!

Really great tunage!
