And you made a good correction while singing, in the line: 'Something always seems to steal the show'by naming it 'spoil'. Makes a whole difference.

Daves' contribute to this song was very 'delicious'. That man can play that guitar so well...

About the queeks of Captain Moto: I like to keep them in the song. They make it feels so real.

Well done, Marty. I've enjoyed it.

Thanks, Hans. I like that you picked up on the "steal" to "spoil" in the show. I changed the word in the lyrics just before recording, and of course in the first verse I sang it the way I was used to so I kept it. Nice catch. As for the squeaks, I usually leave the in, but every once in awhile one seems to steal the show.

I like it especially because you can hear a lot of craftsmanship out of it
I think that's the only way the song works best
You both do a fantastic job again
Plus an outstanding video that makes the song even more intense
great job guys
To the initial question: I actually like it when the acoustic guitar squeaks.
Belongs somehow to it. If the squeak is too loud in the mix,
however, you can try to tone it down with a de-esser - it will never disappear completely.
Many greetings
Andi ;-)


Thanks for your kind words, Andi. I haven't tried a de-esser yet, but that seems to be a good suggestion.

Man! your Bass sounds good!!

Dave's guitar is excellent (as always).

Solid vocal. Solid mix.

(I found the snare sound too bright - highEQish - it pulled my ear away for a while)

never say never

Thanks, FLoyd. Good critique. Drums are the worst part for me to get right (as long as Dave does the solos), which is why I was so excited about the new stems feature in 2022.

Great playing by you and Dave - loved the solo.

Top notch entertainment.

Thanks, Peter. You surely know the importance of a good solo.

Enjoy whatever happens!
