have you tried using guitar double tracks panned hard left and right? it would sound so much dense and punchy

47,

Yes I did try a far right/left pan on the track but it made it lose the feel and left it feeling a little empty.

I just finished my espresso, and I must say this song is adding an edge to the experience! This is so classic sounding! The guitar work is stellar! The vocals suit the style very well! Excellent mix! Great rockin song!

now thats metal guitar....great job Eric...and the vocal fits to a T Mark...This one is the way it should be...with vocals that are fully legible/audible and the accompaniment still shines through (I have heard more that a few metal tracks where the vocal was just totally overpowered)...Nicely done guys...(its a hot mix)......Ed

Ed,
TY man. This in my opinion is where metal should be. Black and Death Metal are just all double kick and emotionless. Not to mention the screaming... :/
I have called this style "White Metal".
And yes, I mixed it hot on purpose :)

Kev and Julie,
TY man. I wrote this one back in the late 80's and modernized it. Wrote it shortly after I saw Maiden live in Toronto for their Powerslave tour. Awesome show.

Great track, love how this one has clean vocals instead of grunting (don't get me wrong I can enjoy both but this fits the track better in my opinion) also enjoyed the guitar very much, top work on that ;D
Keep continuing making these tracks (if you like of course)

greetings from johnny

Johnny,
Thx man. I never thought the "grunting" ever sounded good...it is like a copout I think for those that cannot sing.
And yes, Eric's awesome soloing gave this song a new dimension altogether.

Description : This fragment, tells you a little story about me. Before iam going to upload something again. Its been a while since i was here. But somehow i never forgotten about this place. Because in the early days of looperman. This was my place to be as well. And somehow it will always remain a soft spot within me. And yeah it was probably time for me to return back to this place anyways. And see what happend and changed here all together throughout the times. when i left the place some while ago.

Description : Beneath moonlight, men become bolder, braver, foolisher, more themselves than they dare be beneath any watching sun.

I understand this pull well, pleasures I would never confess to seeking, temptations the day's judgment kept politely caged.

There is joy in it too, I'll admit, laughter sharper, drink sweeter, desire honest for once. But the night that liberates also loosens what should stay bound.

Every dawn, someone wakes wondering which version of themselves the dark set free.
