Does an earl who gets an OBE become an earlobe?

Not too sure whether I've got this one right.
Might try remixing it again, or maybe re-recording the vocals.

It's all recorded & mixed on a on a Boss BR600 using the following:
Bass - Vintage EST96
Guitar - Schecter PT
Synth - iPad
Vocals - Behringer XM8500

Let me know where you think I've gone wrong
Cool

Edit: Next morning now & decided on a remix.
Re-eq'd the vocals, cut the harmonies out during the verse and re-panned.
The attachment is now the new version
A little happier now. Smiley

This is excellent, I love this song and you have really done it total justice here as this is a very tricky one to cover.

Love the thumping tone of the bass and the guitar parts sound spot on to me and very true to the original.

Your vocal is fabulous and the harmonies in the chorus are very well done too.

Can't fault this, its superb!

Nicely played instruments and vocal.

Well done!

Love the thumping tone of the bass
Cheers I have to admit to a penchant for putting the bass up front. The 1st instrument I learnt to play was the bass, so I guess it stems from that.

Noooo don't ever give up. I'm sure you'd do it justice

Cheers. I had to wait until our house was empty, then locked myself into our spare toilet, with the trusty BR600 on batteries, so I could wail away to my hearts content!!

I gotta say, it does the job mighty fine. Keep wondering whether to look at a BR800, but will have to save my pennies. Meanwhile the 600 keeps dishing it out.

Thanks. Energy is probably the thing I'm best at. I'm not the greatest musician, so I mix in a spot of adrenalin ... which seems to help!!

Thanks for the listen

Many thanks to all who've commented. If I've missed anyone, I'm really sorry. I don't think I've had so many replies all at once!!
I must be doing something right Cool

Talking Heads are one of my favourite bands , you were brave to take this on , not many would , so I'm pleased that you did such a good job with your cover , & in fact added a little something that wasn't there on the original , absolutely fabulous , well done mate
