A great start - and the siren guitar was a nice touch.
I think the bass could come up a bit to work with the kick drum.
A 68 SG! WOW that's a mortgage guitar.
The change was really good and your vocal was excellent in it.

Man, I love that title. I'm a mind-altered man for sure. Very cool song, japokeapeg. You sing well with your tongue in your cheek. Excellent choice on bandmates and the harmony is perfect. That SG rocks in your hands, man.

Very nice rock song.
Great music.
You've got exactly the right voice for this kind of song.
Well done.

Cool rocker. Super vocal. Drums were very strong. Really drive the groove of the song. Well done

Strong rhythm section and loved the use of the slide guitar. Might of been an added plus to have a modulation to another key near the end, but that's being very picky and probably more of a style thing anyway. Nice job.

Thanks Brad

"It's like being in a painting by Salvador Dali." --Good one!

Love the harmonies and I dig the whole sound of this rocker. Cool bridge: the change works well and seamlessly. Ove the guitar too.

Thanks mate. My favourite line is "You read all my files without having to look" I've met so many women like that grin

japokeapeg, Love that late 60's early 70's vibe! Kind of a Cream/Animals/Yardbirds vibe! Love the vocals! Great sounds all around! Thanks, Torrey

Have you noticed that you've not commented on more than one forum member's song in twelve months?

I've had pc problems, I have commented directly on soundcloud

Hi Japokeapeg,

If I didn't know it was you making this song, I would be convinced it was an old song from the 80 ties.
You copied that style very well!
It was a mind altering experience...

Nice song, Japo!
Hans

Fine crunchy classic rock song indeed.

We enjoyed your vocal and guitar performances.

Nice mix, sounds great on the monitors, and a really good snare pop.

Well done,

J&B

PS You might be interested to know that Bud once (and I say "once" with great regret) owned an original 1958 Flying V frown

Thanks Janice and Bud. I was born in '58 so a Flying V from then must be awesome. Keep rocking both. cool

I like the vibe of the song, and your voice fits this genre well.

Technically I think the song needs more bass to drive it forward a bit more and I would double the guitar on the right and put the double to the left to give the song more balance.

But that would be just my personal choices, I like it already as it is now.

I can empathise and appreciate that. It's odd that you seem able to comment on your own stuff so your PC problems would appear curiously selective.
When you computing gets back on an even keel then?
