Richmac,Glad you enjoyed the image of 2 rats in a sack!! The original version sounds dreadful compared to this but I will have a go at resurrecting it....maybe LOL. I am proud of the "daughter I am glad I didn't have" remark  Rob and Anne-MarieNo keyboards in there so must be the horns!! Glad you enjoyed my style of rock FredI actually mixed the vocals low 'cos I thought the song would sound more live than in a studio. I saw SLADE live once and once they stopped their hits MAN they rocked, so thanks for the comparison.

Greg,
Yeh look out Jagger!
I ran 2 versions of the drums with one eq'd to enhance the snare and then delayed one a few milliseconds to get a mini phase effect, I did it by ear rather than using science.
The snare hit, up to 45 seconds, was a combo of 3 hits I cut from the realdrums and the end of the hits faded to eliminate as much as possible of the next sound without loosing a reverb tail.I used 3 because of the different velocities/sound of some of the snare hits and used all three with 2 moved milliseconds, one forward one back. Then compressed the drum bus and a little reverb as if in a small-ish live room. It took a while and I am glad you liked the effect!

HOLY CRAP, ALYN!!!!!!!
OMG.
It does NOT get better than this.
I don't even know where to start... the mix is PERFECT. The opening guitar riffs.... THE DRUMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG.
The vocals???? WHERE did THAT come from!!!!!!?????!!!!! Great Rock Write.
Your "brass" sounds to me like the perfect synth for the song - I don't care what you call it....
THIS should be on the radio. Now. A HIT.
HOLY CRAP.

This was cool but where is the smoking hot guitar solo? Very cool Stones vibe going on. Nice job.
