thanx guys, yeah i really enjoyed it. i had no preconceived ideas of how it should sound or what direction it should go in and it was very liberating. made it easier to just let the ideas flow a bit more. to be honest the vocals make the track. even just listening back to the parts i was sent the vocals stand out on their own.
heres the original, one of the best rock tunes ive heard in a long time.
