I think... ...this is one of my favorites among your lyrics... It may, as always, be my headphones more than anything, but if you're aiming for glam (and of course that covers quite a bit of teritory), then I think I could stand to have either another dB of vocal, or maybe a little more space around the vocal, so it's forward... Whether it be 'Moonage Daydream' or 'Bang A Gong', having that vocal, and the personality that goes with it, out front and center, is sort of key to what I always heard in the glam sound...On my listening gear, the vocal could stand to leap out of the massed guitars just a little more... I'm also thinking that it would be neat to anchor the treble of the guitars with a sort of meatier, grittier, (humbucking?) rhythm guitar in there... in a low midrange register, maybe... I keep thinking I hear one in there, so maybe what I'm asking for is for a little low grit to come forward, maybe spread wide in the stereo field with the higher guitars up the middle... Nits taken care of, I'll get back to how much I like the song, which is a lot... Good vocal delivery, neat Chuck-Berry-filtered-through-Bolan-and-Big-Star solo(s)... Great drive... Ed |

Cool track Vic Love the solo tone - all round good post (as usual). Could have cranked the Schecter up a bit for my taste, but what would you have expected ;) Good lyrics, well sung and played - yeah Ed may be right in that the vocals could come up a bit - especially noticeable to me in the final harmonised bit. You mean you work AND do this!? Cheers, Neil |

Love the sllllllliiiiiide... This is a great song. Your vocal has a Tom Petty feel to it. I really dig the guitars in this. Very uplifting and relatable lyric in this too. Outstanding. |

Im salavating over your guitar collection (I figure, I better learn to play what I have before I buy any thing else)...as for the tune, I relate much better to this theme than the last, cool harmonizing leads too. Cheers |

Guitar rock Love your guitar collection. Do have enough? Beautiful guitar work. Got love clapping. Most of the bands mentioned in previous comments would be jealous of a song like this. Dave |

Great retro sound - I grew up listening to Bolan and Bowie and this would have fitted in nicely too. Only heard this through the iMac speakers so can't really judge whether this has enough bass 'grunt' as they have no bass. Good song anyway! Peter |

Great harmony guitars Vic, they sound superb, love that sound! Great vocal/lyrics and a superb song all round, great stuff! Hearing this took me back to the '70s in London where I would go and see all the bands you mentioned! Great times! Excellent track! Loved it! Sorry I'm late here! Bob |

Sorry I'm late but you know how it is... great track Vic - the harmony guitars are killer and the lyrics are spot - on sad to say. |

70s you definitely achieved that 70s vibe with this tune. classic rock gtr tones. 70s, almost 60s, gtr soloing - very well done. nice vocals too. i wasn't paying too much attention to the lyrics this first pass, but may i just say your voice reminds me a bit of colin hay. (that's a big compliment, in my books.) thanks for sharing! |

I'm a big fan of harmonized lead guitar- this song hooked me right from the beginning, very Mick Ronson.The guitars plus your unique voice add up to a great song.The mix sounds fine to me but what do I know? |

Great stuff I love the sentiment (sounds all too familiar!) and the delivery is great. I love the guitars on this. as always. I really think the genius of your mixing is your ability to find room for all the instruments to breathe. You have so much going on, but nothing is ever buried or mashed together in a sonic mess (I think 'mashed together' is the technical term, isn't it?). Brilliant stuff. Love the solo (and the solo sound) in particular. Very cool. Nicely done. Peace. |

Glam! I used to love Mott the Hoople, thought I still have no idea what that name means. Great tune. Those whole chorusses of distorted guitars sound great. Say, you clearly know your was around guitar production. Why does your bass sound intelligible while playing a stream of identical eighth notes? I hear too many songs on this site where such a bass part just becomes a big drone that only clutters up the mix. Mind divulging your secret? |

70's Glam Rock I think we all wanted to be a part of that at one time or another. Crystal clear mix makes this a pleasure to listen to. |
..aiming for 'firsties' anymore, with Feter around...
Does the Internet pass through his living room, or what?
