Been meaning to have a go at this as I found a backer for it. Then it all went wrong
Firstly I thought I could play it, did it in the band all them years back. Trouble is my part was strumming D and E a lot and screaming into a mike, so I had to practice the riff a while. Then the backer turned out to be iffy, had gaps in it, so I converted a midi for the drum's, which then meant I had to work out a bassline, which was HARD!!! I should have modified the drums to put a cymbal crash at the changes as it was very confusing, also the end of it does not tally with my memory of the track.
Anyway, finally got drums, clean rhythm on my "new" Aria (£26 off Ebay ... ongoing project. Just bought a Jap Strat neck to go on it), Distorted riff on the Aria and the SG, bass and a very iffy vocal (I am ILLLLLLL!!!!! I felt like I was gargling glass on the outro!!) down on the MBR. Transfered the individual tracks to the desktop, mixed them in Audition and mastered with Ozone. Had to drop the bitrate (again) to post it.

Excelent! You've got a very rebelious voice. 

Very cool recording and performance.

Steve, I think your vocals are awesome. Wish I could sing that good. You really pulled this off nicely! Can I ask what patch you used for the main guitar part? Was it custom?

Great stuff!

So many ppl are saying I sound like Alice that on my last song I did it on purpose ... was for a contest elsewhere, but will get round to posting here.

Apparently I have a very rebellious attitude too  Cheers boss, thanks for listening.

Phil, I tweak the pre-sets but don't store them, so don't really know what I used. Thanks for the comps .. singing is easy with a MBR, lots of help in hiding all my inadequacies
