Oh yes, right up my strasse this is, good job guys. Captures the whole AC/DC essence Now how to make it even better, a touch more warmth to the guitar for my taste and the drums need a bit more punch, especially the bass drum. I've mentioned this track to someone else on here before but check out the song "Who Made Who" for superb production, that's what the drums should sound like. Apart from that, keep on rockin, sounds great

RLDLove it, love it, love it.How did this kinda music ever die anyway.What's that, about "C" note in the chorus vox. (Was playing in "A" with my acoustic ) Couldn't do that "all night long"Can't see how this won't fly.Great job guys.Paul

Excellent writing and performance!This takes me back to my youth.I think you're going for the Bon Scott era which is my favorite AC/DC era.Thy cymbals are too bright. Could be an easy fix with an eq. The cymbal levels are a touch out front for my taste. They should be a bit more ambient I think.Guitars are a touch brittle sounding. I dont know what type of guitar and amp you used but remember Angus played an SG Gibson which has a really rich mid sound. The guitar sound you have now is reminiscient of the Bullet Boys to my ears BUT you are really close!!! Drums sound ok across the kit but I think you could get some more clarity and punch out of the kit. You have the kit sound just right for the era just clean it up some.Bass guitar seems to be riding in a nice spot in the mix. Vocals are a hair low ( a "c" hair) but tell the vocalist I am jealous!!! Nice performance! Really cool song! Im on my 6th listen and it ROCKS!!! Just a few minor mix issues and this baby is ready to kick some a$$!!!!For reference tracks id say the entire highway to hell album is what I would listen too.ROCK N ROLL BROTHER!!!!

All right RLD!! Bon Scott lives!Loved it man. Everything sounds right on to me. Drums could use a bit of tweaking to make them sit a bit louder, but that's being really picky. Cool Angus'y solo. I think you nailed it.B

Excellent work, RLD Totally got this for an AC/DC type listing.Must agree with Goulash on the kick drum comment though. The snare and hats didn't bother me but the kick did (maybe squashed a bit in the MP3 conversion???). 2c!

Thanks everybody!My ears tend to feel a bit muffled after mixing, so I appreciate the listens.When I get back to it, I'm gonna turn the geetars down a notch and bring the kick up for starters.

If I didn't look at the calendar, I'd swear I was back in the 80's driving down a highway in a blue van, with the windows down, and this tune blasting on the radio! I'm gonna go ahead and congratulate you now on the forward, I think you nailed this one dude! Rock on!!!- Big Blue
