Black and Gold

[SE]

Here,s a wee tune, started of with some acoustic, sorry about the buzzing or is that just shoddy guitar playing, well anyway added some bass and MBR drums and then started tinkering with the keys added strings trombone and brass section patches.
Now the vox aren,t to good, I,ve got a stinker of a cold, that,s my excuse and I,m sticking to it, well here it is hope it,s ok.

Great song & cold-flavored vocals John, sound mighty fine to me!! 

I really like the strings additions too, really adds to the superb quality of this tune!

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Good song and I just love those brass stabs. I'm going to strip off and lay in my -2 degrees garden to see if I can get a cold and get my voice that good.  Seriously good stuff..........Willie

John, I've got to I agree with Tommy & Willie, your voice sounds just fine here. Love the full arrangement! Very dynamic sound here.

Thought the vox where a bit low in the mix upped it slightly, might be  a bit better?

[Geir]

Oh yeah !!!!!!

Love it John !! Your cold vox is just too good !!!

Love the arrangement !!!

Pure gold !!!

Ddefinately vox on this track kicks ass. Great song. You have the Bowie thing ging on. did you record the vox on the on board mic?

[SE]

Yes Mike recorded using the on board mic using the Ag 3B patch at volume 105, reverb at 55, second vox at L 25, volume 90, mastered using Premaster low  0dB Mid  +2dB  High +2dB
Hope this helps.

Epic song SE!  Yeah I hear Axl too in the backups...if he had more tunes like this on Chinese Democracy, he might have sold more albums...those strings add so much to the song...love it!
