NICE! Like the song overall. Did a great job transferring over to a harder song without completely destroying it like I usually do.

I liked the idea of the solo. It goes pretty well. I hear a small, small part where it sounds like you lost track of where you were going, but overall it was well played. And the tone fit well. Though, now that you mentioned mic'ing, that probably would sound better. But I don't think this sounds bad at all. And definitely not bad enough to HAVE to rerecord it.

Thought you did a pretty good job singing. It didn't quite sit in the mix as well as I would have liked, but not bad at all!

Good job on a song I've always liked myself. ;)

2nd Listen, and this is full on bad ass. I'd kill to not be happy with that solo. That's some bad ass bass. Great song, covered awesomely.

I Agree....



FULL METAL BAD ASS!!!!

Love your Voice Man!

Awesome Guitars and Bass..







And that solo....


Freakishly Sublime!

Very metal, rocks hard, and just well done, gents... 8)  This one ain't consigned to the Easy Listening bin anymore!  :)

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!

You rule, Eman!

Just rocks too much, this excellent and will listen to this a right few times, guitar, vox and bass are way too good loved it!!!

Damn fine cover in every way.  I like your voice, it is just not present enough for all the heavy guitars.  Did you try double tracking your vocal.  Thats a sweeeeeet solo, I don't hear where you went off track on the solo at all.  You convinced me.  Nice bass Mark.  I like this  guys.

This is way cool!
It is an interesting diversion to the normal Croce cover.
I'll have to admit that this is better than Jim's original version.
Bravo to both of you!!!!!

LG

jings crivvens and help ma boab this is braw.

Fantastic cover !!! Great guitar-sound and "HELL YEAH" that is an amazing solo, I hear what you say Saijinn and know where you mean but I really think that this solo rocks anyway. I don't even think I'd redo it it sounds great as it is.  Vox is really good too.

And that is a killer bass Mark !!!

piePod bound !!!

It's funny how we view things. I don't think he needs to re-record it at all! It stands great as is.

But if it was my recording, it would bother me SO much! heh  I guess we are much more critical of ourselves though ;)

Don't touch it Gnasty! Great as is! ;)

This is kick ass...your voice sounds awesome and the chorus works especially well.

LOL   NOOOOOO  I apologize! I had a another listen, on top of the other dozen or so listens, I realized that this piece is PERFECT!!!  Don't touch anything!

You cant F_ck with perfection!
Leave it

For what its worth, I really like the solo the way it is, I don't hear the "mistake" or whatever it is you guys hear, to me there is a lot of heart and soul in that solo and it is the sound of pure musical joy.  If it were me I would be very happy with the solo, would not agonize over it and would be moving on to my next song.  Thats the way I hear it.  Just as Saij says in his last post, "Don't touch anything!".

Wow, great rock metal plugged cover guys!!  Luv the guitar and bass ~ so heavy & crisp that it stings!  I think it sounds great, the vox sound great too; a unique mix, but i really still like it just like that!

Geez boys - I never knew this was Croce.

This sounds WICKED!

Your vox are really good Gnasty, and that guitar just rocks man.
Mark - Solid bass as always (getting closer to that Frog's ass man  ;D)

Simply a great cover boys!!!!

P.S. - How did you do the drums??

Thanks Vann....

I did the drums with the MBR on Hard kit. I think the only kits i like are the std1 and Hardkits.

This Kicks Ass! Loved that screamin' solo and I think your vox are fine. Great Job on this Croce classic!

Blinding stuff guys.  I don't know the original - but I don't need to.  This is super cool.  I love the solo and wouldn't touch it.  Move onwards and upwards.

LOVE this version . super job . and great vox. jim croce. is either turning
in his grave. or rocking away in his grave or heaven thanks for the memories
with a new twist. tc NEIL........................................................

What a great listen. i don't know the original, but it sounds like a mighty fine song. Brilliant performances all round, and a very tasty solo just to top things off nicely. Great work!

So Nice.  A great revision of a song that deserves this kind of artistic update. GREAT WORK

As far as doing it over....that's the beauty of the BOSS.....
You do what you like.

In the future I'd like to see a Radio/satalite station that
plays only personal renditions/revisions like this one.!!!!

Perhaps a link to this very BLOG.

Great cover, and the guitar solo is splendid!

Way cool.  I listened to Croce for years man, and you just took this one and ran with it, taking advantage of a great set of lyrics, a great tune, and you just took right off with it, adding an awesome guitar solo that goes completely to the limit, and no mistakes that I could tell. 

This is the way to do a cover, make it your own.  And btw, I like your vox.



Ron

This must be bump'd... Hell yah guys... thought I'd already commented. This has got to be one of the best covers ever...

Yes indeede..love your guitar work...bloody good..
smashing solo performance:)

Hey, that's MY recording technique!

Fine job, it's cool to hear this song with some crunch.

This is rocktasmaticalasiouly, seizure inducing, spontaneous combustion sparking, mind numbingly incredible! Complete silliness about your solo,  it's not like you played the same 2 licks over and over like that Hook guy! You rock so very hard and so very well, it's inspiring. Your vocals are outstanding too, just a great cover!
Rock On!

F#ck Yeah... It's awesome... and I love the Van Croce 64....I never get tired of this one Eric. You Rule

yep - Still sounds as tight as the first time I listened to it.

Great cover Eric. Guitar was incredible.

The G-man is Da Man!

Kicks ass, doesn't bother to take names.

Can't believe I missed this especially as Jim Croce is/was one of my all time favourites but man does this rock. Great bump...............Willie

OTD badass bump!
Rock On!
