It's been awhile since I've commented here but I saw the title and had to listen. This is really a cool song. Sounds good and loud. I liked the drum track. Everyone sounds great. I remember Steve the Priest head. Great guitars Steve. You're a tribute to the style you play.

Very cool song. Its fun, melodic and with lots going on.

Nice intro with the classical entrance and some very good guitar playing.

I like the Alice Cooper vocals and the general zany weirdness of the track.

There are lots of very interesting sounds going on.

If I had to be critical I think at nine minutes its very long. However I realise that this type of song is kind of an online jam so I suppose that was the way it was supposed to be.

Overall a very good collaboration between you guys and sounds like fun to do.

This sounds great!!! It was so mellow at the start and then the bomb of sound went off!!!! PERFECT!!!!!!
Too many good things to list here, I liked it all!!!!!!!!!!

I give it 5 stars but would have given it more if there was an option, and they want let me vote twice.

Almost Zappa (or maybe Wild Man Fischer, or Captain Beefhart)

I agree the vocals could come up a tad.

Excellet production.

Randy, Bob

Wow guys, what wonderful comments!

Please consider this post a personal 'double' thank-you though " />

I'll never forget the time and effort you guys (and of course, Doc & James etc) invested in me when I first started posting all those years ago in the Guitar Tracks forum - always helpful and always friendly. And as for the banter..... I concur with Bob, I can't read the word 'stump' without grinning inanely!

So thanks, and thanks " />

You guys still rock " />

Andy - thanks for the listen.

Mark - big thanks for your very helpful input behind the scenes on the mix, your advice has been reflected in Ed's new mix " />

Ron - thanks for the great comments, the Peer Gynt Suite was one of the first LP records my parents bought when we got our first Dansette record player (late 60's) and I've loved it ever since.

Paul - as per Mark above, we appreciate your ears on this and your advice, and glad you enjoyed the tune.

Greg - thanks for stopping by and for the kind words; it did take some co-ordinating but we still managed to get three 'release' mix candidates! And cheers for taking a listen to Asparapuss " />

Andy - it's such a buzz to have a song you've written described as an 'Epic' - thanks so much!

Steve

New mix up, doubtless one of the guys will chime in with the details.

I think I will break out the old red and white cowboy snot rag and tie it to my head like we did back in the day. " />

tried to play like I still had hair.

I'm gonna try that on he next track.

After that I'm gonna try and play like I know what I'm doing, too.

Grant, rippin' solo. Love that tone. What are you using?

Hi Rob, great to hear from you Bro, I used the stock neck position pup on my PRS
into a line6 GX2 and tried to play like I still had hair. " />

Well, it took a while but I finally got to hear this.
I love it!
There's a lot going on here, yet everything is well separated and crisp. Nice job on the production, Ed.
I am particularly impressed with how tight the performance is. Seamless transitions as the themes change.
It all just fits.
Steve, could we get just a bit more attitude from your guitar?" />
Grant, rippin' solo. Love that tone. What are you using?
Jonbouy, my legs were burning just listening to that.
Killer synths and bass, and I think the vocals are sitting right where they should.
This is one of my all-time favorite riffs, and you guys took it up a notch.

Kinda speechless here guys. This is just fantastic. Great imagination from a group where I shouldn't really expect anything less. I'm not sure awesome is enough of a word.

Epic, cool, fun, I don't know what else to add except I can't believe you did it on the internet.
I also listened to (Bow Before) Asparapuss; not as epic, but cool and fun, too.
Oh. You guys can play!

Re:The Coffee House Band - "Hall of the Mountain Bing" (Paul Russell)

That was good fun. There's a nice sense of humour in there that works well.

I can definitely hear the high fizz too. Some of the guitars could do with a bit of EQ scooping to help the separation a bit, especially during the 'song' section.

It must have been really difficult being the person who co-ordinated all the collaborators. Well done.

Jon

This is easily my favorite piece Grieg ever composed and the rest of the Peer Gynt suite shows his genious.

I too have been away for a while, but it was nice to come back and see a new one from you guys.

Great work

Ron

This is a love song right?

Kudos to all. On my system it sounds like the bass could come up more. It gets lost a bit in the mix. There is also a high fizz that wears on the ears after a while. Otherwise great mix.

Bob: Thanks for the comments much appreciated by all of us.

Philip: You only lasted a minute? I can't tell you how many times I've listened through it....no wonder I've gone completely wacko..." />

Freddy: Nice review, I think Bing is closer relations with Ming the Merciless but with a bad bout of flu than Mr Gates search engine although the megalomaniac tendency could be seen as similar..." />

Warren: Thank you very much.

Johannes: The tones of Greig indeed although Strummy did show him how to play the chords ya know.

Larry: Thanks on behalf of all of us.....an online lightshow.....hmmm now you got us thinking...." />

Tap: Thanks glad you like it.

Herb: Thanks man, another one for the TSO soundalike, but aren't they a bit pompous, overblown and OTT...yeah perhaps I can see the connection.." /> Actually I knew someone who played for them perhaps he still does...dang, that's another Xmas card I gotta write...lol

Thanks Rick for stopping by, yup the panto season has started early this year." />
