Fantastic Geir, your guitars sound so crisp and ripping smooth, your vocal is un-freaking-believable........utterly fantastic...........you are a monster.........the only thing missing, if I can say a minor complaint........there is not enough cowbell.........this one was made for cowbell........I love this........its got a bit of a Thin Lizzy vibe.
Q: how did you get the drums to sound so good.

Hey... wow, thats a great fun uplifting rocker. Love the overall vibe you have on here Geir. Vocal was superb on that and it does actually sound like a great track to stick on while taking a spin in the car. Awesome!!

Gawd, I miss the 70's some days. Sounds like an outtake off Billion Dollar Babies. Great playing and mix not to mention the ample wang bar abuse. The slides up the neck are a great part of the arrangement. I frickin' love this post!

Never stop...(thud).

Holy Sh*t! Quite brilliant fella, that is the best vocal I have heard from you, and the guitar tones are delicious. The mix is top notch...all in all - superb - I'm a fan as well!!

You know you're right !! There might be a new version of this coming up ;D ...

A: Well ... it's just the BR80 drums .... no FX, not even reverb. Actually the only tracks that got any treatment is the vocals and the lead guitar, which got some reverb and delay added in Auria while mixing. The "Final touch" mastering app did make a difference tho, gluing the mix together, making it a tad smoother, but not much.

Funny you should say so, and thanx for noticing! The song started out with the other riff, and when I added the chorus riff something was missing ... until I got the idea to slide the root note (A on the 5th fret on the E-string) up one octave. It wasn't until then I knew I could make it into a song I'd be happy with.
