. ... reminds me of times of old when I would never have expected that that crazy sound could ever cause heavy tinnitus that you can't get rid of. But it did .
I can empathize Stefan. I have had it for a decade or so now - can't sleep unless music is playing to mask the ssssss.

FOR THE COMPLETIST: Here's a simple video concocted to tie up all of the loose ends of the song & process. I've filmed m'self with the guitars and bass used to record. Tony did some filming for his vocal part & Eric appears via old photos for his solo spot.
Lots of snippets from the Creative Commons section of Utub to padd things out. The editing is a little rough but using an old laptop and scratch pad isn't too flash these days.

Just watched and listened to the video ... very nicely done in all respects! The video perfect;y matched the mood and story of the song. Nothing to complain about, for sure!
Very pro sounding ... tight and sweet! Enjoyed it a bunch! best to you ...
Great...love how distinct the vocal and not lost in the drums and rhythm guitar. I imagine with a hard rock song that is a sweet spot that takes a lot of work.
Outstanding!!!

Thanks J&B, it did take a little EQ carving but I've worked with Tony's voice before and was ahead for this one. The vid is just to fill in the spaces for folk who don't like to listen.
