Elliott,
Everything about this song just works...
Love the arrangement, tracks selection and excellent mix. You completely nailed the sound that you were after.
Great singer as well. Loved it!

Elliott, yep, you got the heartbeat of that sound for sure. Cool break, rebuild and outro. Vocalist has the right pipes for this, too. The "heartbeat" sounds were a nice subtle touch, but not TOO subtle. This IS hair metal after all.  Superb arrangement, as always. Nice one!

Hi Elliott,
This is not my genre as I'm sure you know.
HOWEVER - this is another top song and beautifully produced. I particularly liked the stop and change of key towards the end - excellent.
Best Regards

Elliott, you nailed that 80's big hair band vibe
Super vocal
Great backing tracks and arrangement
Outstanding mix

Sensationally good, Elliott. Right from intro we were in for a special treat. Excellent tribute to 80s hair bands. BIG sound so well developed. Man, close your eyes and you can see the stage from here. The crowd loves it!!

Yep... sounds like something that I would have heard in a play list with the Cars, The Knack, and Blondie.
Nice and crisp.

What a great sound. Cool intro and outro. You do all these genres well, I never know what to expect from you - but it's always good. Really excellent mix and stereo effects. You nailed this down tight!

You definitely got the Bon Jovi vibe in band and singer.
Great choice with the singer and, man, your compression settings really caused the drum track to pop.
THAT. SNARE.
Cool write mix and all around production.
Rock on!

Hi, Eliot. You and the singer did a great job on this. I'm not an expert on the genre, but it seems authentic to my ears.
