Description:
This is a tune I wrote in 2004 and finally finished in 2007 with the help of Allen Dean. He really made the song what it is with his tremendous vocal skills. Thanks Allen.

So I hope you enjoy my re-post and I'm hoping to have my new one up soon. I'm going back to my 80's roots with my new one and its been a blast playing it.
Anyway, It should be up soon.

but you REALLY brought this one to life. I enjoyed mixing your vocals a lot. It was easy because of the superb quality of your dynamics and performance. No BS!

I hope we can do it again.


Take care my friend,

Thanks Tim. &mdash 10/08/08 - 02:22:14 AM
I always get everyone with that. hehe

When I first wrote it it had a single bass drum part. I actually added that later on after the vocals. It helped the rhythm guitars and bass get some punch. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I should have my new one up shortly.

Talk with you soon.

Thanks again.

I'm really happy to be back, but I wouldn't go THAT far! LOL

Thanks for the kind words. I truly appreciate it a lot my friend.

I guess only time will tell.

Take care and I'll talk with you soon.

Excellent sound. Not a Rock god on this one. Just a Rock king. Great vocals, too.

wow &mdash 10/08/08 - 11:03:25 AM
brilliant stuff. The pair of you have made a truly great song, powerful and melodic, what a ride. I will be listening a few more times to this one for sure. I wish i could get my strat to sound like that. Earthshaking...top job guys. Allen, voice really puts the icing on the cake.

Thanks Steve &mdash 10/30/08 - 05:22:31 PM
I have to agree with you about Allen's vox for sure.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks again for taking the time to listen and comment.

I appreciate it.

kick ass &mdash 10/08/08 - 01:55:01 PM
solid metal. Crunchy pounding guitars. Allen's vocals scream and the solo was off the charts good.

Scared To Death &mdash 10/13/08 - 01:34:24 PM
Great teamwork.

I'm scared of both of you!! Seriously!

The solo is pure metal goodness, or should I say badness? The rappin vocals make this pretty contemporary and intensify the heaviness.

Never deny your roots.

Really? &mdash 11/17/08 - 01:02:15 PM
I didn't mean to do it. I hope that you make a full recovery. lol

Seriously though, I appreciate the comments Bob.

Working with Allen is one of the highlights for me here at MacJams. He's amazing, pure and simple. Personally, he should be signed in my book.

Thanks again.

The real deal &mdash 10/13/08 - 04:23:05 PM
Sounds great thru the 'phones. A great example of all things that a proper metal song can do. This could be a slow acoustic ballad; but I'm glad it's not.

Nice 'stoppage' that gap speaks volumes directly before the So Called Friend then effing immense axe work. I love it.

I'm away to put on the Black Album...

Love it!

Jim

Thanks Jim &mdash 11/17/08 - 01:14:31 PM
I agree. The stoppage really does give it that extra edge and break to take it all in.

I almost was leaning toward leaving out the intro, but after a few listens, it really set up the song so I decided it must stay.

Thanks again for your kind comment. I appreciate a lot.

great rock song &mdash 10/15/08 - 05:57:19 PM
This is a killer collab.. Strong guitars with a powerful voice.. Perfect

Thanks Craft. &mdash 11/17/08 - 01:26:24 PM
I'm glad you liked it.

Thanks again for the comment my friend.

Oh yes! &mdash 10/16/08 - 02:43:18 PM
You and the formidable Mr. Dean are dynamite together!

Kickin! Smokin! This tune is on FIRE!

Be well gents!

Sigh... &mdash 10/16/08 - 02:45:37 PM
One problem:

When I hear YOUR fantastic lead playing I lose the will to try....

I will NEVER smoke like this!

[ Reply to This ]
Well... &mdash 11/17/08 - 01:36:07 PM
Practice, practice, and more practice. Alienate everyone you know. Don't have time for anything else or anybody and practice some more. That should do it. (lol) Well, that's how I did it at least.

[ Reply to This ]
Thanks You Mr. Wark &mdash 11/17/08 - 01:29:47 PM
I just wish I lived closer to him so we could start a band or something.

Thanks again for the awesome comment my friend.

Don't be a stranger.

wow. &mdash 10/16/08 - 09:36:31 PM
thanks for the serious props, brother. i just do the singing.....this baby was alot of fun to do, because i tried a heavier approach to my vocals, in sync with the angry, heavy music. i think it all turned out killer. and of course, your attention to detail in mixing my vioce is superb!
also, thanks so much for my pic on the tune, that is really cool.
