What a tune! I love how hard and heavy this sounds. Not to mention - those drums are fantastic! The whole tune feels like a rush of adrenaline. It starts off on an aggressive and ferocious note, and carried my attention the whole way through. I don't think I'd change a single thing. Thanks so much for sharing  Hi Deryk. Always pleased to get a review from the "staff", particularly when it's as complementary as this! I love the RD tracks - they sound good straight out of the box, but if you spend a little time with EQ, compression and reverb, they can sound absolutely brilliant. We tend to build tracks in Realband rather than BiaB and it's just like having a room full of top session players waiting to be called up. This software is just wonderful! Cheers, ROG & Neil

I agree, this song definitely deals with heavier content than what many of us are used to seeing in the user showcase, but I think it's a really rockin' song all the same. It's pretty profound; personal experience? I'd be curious to hear the story behind this one, if there is one!
Amazing job! Thanks for sharing! You guys make a rad pair. Hi Ember. Yes, there is a bit of a story behind this one - very perceptive of you. Many years ago at college, there was only one girl on our maths course and all the guys were out to impress her. There was one guy in particular in college who was tall, handsome, captain of all the sports teams and all the girls thought he was wonderful (no, it wasn't me). He spent three years chasing the girl in our maths group, but she just wasn't going to be impressed. In fact she hardly seemed to notice him, which made him try even harder. At the end of the course, she graduated with a first and disappeared. I don't think he ever got over it! Anyway, glad you liked the song. Many thanks. ROG.

Definitely reminds me of some good old rock n roll, somewhere between Beatles and Tom Petty. Enjoyed the song, great job. Hi Belladonna. Many thanks for the review. Somewhere between Beatles and Tom Petty suits me just fine! ROG.

"...a trifle heavy for some"
Guess that's why our sub-woofer is walking across the floor!
"This is what you would get if Tom Petty fronted Cream - ROG'n'Neil..."
That is a perfect description!
Thanks for all the background info. We always enjoy how you put things together. How you managed to get this thing so loud and still have enough room left for it not to clip is amazing.
Father and son working together to turn out a monster rock song. Now that is cool!!!
Kudos,

Hi there J&B. You really are too kind! This was a bit heavier than anything either of us usually does - don't know quite where the ideas came from! Hey, glad you liked it - maybe get that sub-woofer nailed down if you play it again! Next one is going to be a lot quieter. Many thanks for the listen. ROG & Neil.

ROG and NEIL, This is seriously....  I loved everything about it! You two sure have the knack for creating brilliance. I honestly don't know how you managed to mix such an electrifying sound. Kudos to both of you. Like father, like son, it seems! And I mean that as a HUGE compliment. All the best, Noel
