5 points @flying_pie - Love ROTM and this did it for me
3 points @stratman3142 - EVH all over - brill.
1 Point @Lev - ffs, you have managed to outsleaze the slippyfists with this...
Again, top work all around... cant wait for the next one.
5 points @poopot : Very creative and witty. Great arrangement/recording of acoustic country instrument sounds. A very different style, whilst still staying fairly true to the original.
3 points @IMC1980 : Rocking and loads of energy.
1 points @flying_pie : Love this as a piece of music in ROTM style. It just stretched things a bit too far from the original for me.
5 points: @IMC1980 - just amazing production, every instrument and the vocals sound great in their own right. As flying_pie mentioned above the drums are amazing.
3 points: @Bellycaster - kudos for sticking faithfully to the original instrumentation - great job on the bass. Having a female vocal also makes the track standout a little from the others.
1 point: @flying_pie - was really enjoying the originality of this and then that Tom Morello solo kicked in and it had to be in my top three.
5 points @flying_pie - the creative thinking and genre smashing on display here is incredible. Absolutely nailed the Rage vibe and your whammy solo was pure Morello. Great job!
3 points @stratman3142 - that solo man, if you had some 80s vocals to match, it would have been a tough call on 1st place for me.
1 point @Lev - this was a skulking sleazy groove, tasty mix and some nice chops on the solo.
Special mention for the country boys, @poopot's piggy fiddling and @Bezzer's Back To The Future 3 violins.
Amazing work everyone!
So so with that said ... 5 points to @Bellycaster , loved the bass !
3 points to @stratman3142 great solo and energy .
1 point to @Lev , nice 70’s Stones type vibe to it .
Special mention to my country cousins @poopot and @Bezzer and also @IMC1980 whose productions always sound so professional .
well done guys (and gals)
looking forward to to the next one already!
5 Points @Lev - Brilliant style shift on this, reminds me somehow of how an early 10cc might have sounded doing it, but with EVH doing the Solo.
3 Points @IMC1980 - Awesome energy in this one and those Drums and that solo, wow, all the production was wonderful fantastic, Lev just pipped you due to my taste in styles.
1 Point @stratman3142 - Great Chugging High Octane feel and nice phrasing for the vocal parts, tip top solo as usual too.
Great Country takes on the track too by @poopot @Bezzer and @sticker , loved the Twang-fest on yours, Sticker.
I also appreciated the effort put into your arranegment of it @flying_pie ,quite Proto-Punk, solo fitted perfectly too.
