Very Nice. I'm not familiar with the song so I really can't help you nail the song. It sounds great as is to me. Love all the layers and changes in the tune. Pretty complex piece with some un-expected changes in it that really add texture to it. I had to put the head phones on and listen to it 3 times to really enjoy it.

P.S. Good to know where to get tubes and stuff too.

Ok, I posted mix #2 up at the top

I removed one of the rythym guitar tracks. It had too much chorusing on it and it sounded out of time with the plain rythym track.

I redid another rythym track from scratch.

I added a power chord rythym track for more muscle.

I beefed up the drums and changed a few patterns.

I re-did some of the lead guitars.

I redid the intro and beefed it up, it was kind of weak.

I added some more guitar harmony parts to the end.

I bumped the Bass up here and there.

Thanks for the help on this.
Give mix #2 a go when you get time and let me know what cha think.

Ok, I think I am done with this, Mix 3 is up at the top.

Mix 3 changes:
Deleted electric guitar clean acoustic sounding rythym tracks.

Added a real acoustic guitar, sounds way better. It's my Tacoma road king with fresh strings.

Added a big scream at 1:25 as per several request.

Adjusted levels up and down all over the place.

Thanks to all who helped me dial this in.
