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.
Mark.

on Another Brick In The Wall Part II Tribute To Floyd by MWRatridge
Wow! I am very very impressed with this cover. I have tried over the years to cover a song or two and a dismal failure followed. You not only kept to the Floyd your vocals gave it a unique flair and was a great plus to its already great sound! Yes very impressive!

Bro, looks like that new studio set up is working out nicely for you! Great cover of what is one of the best songs ever written. Like Ed ssid, pretty close to the original and dude, you flat nailed the solo, hahaha....OUTSTANDING!!!!

Looking good brother. Here's to a great 2013. And onward and upward to part 3 of the series from Pink Floyd :)

Bear,
Thanks man. Yeah the solo was a looming challenge on this one. The more Floyd I do, the more Mr. Gilmour teaches me...the guy can play like no other. But yeah, I got it. I tried using the Les Paul for the main rhythm but humbuckers gave it too fat of a sound to try to mimic a Stratocaster. The new studio is a gem for sure and I have been blessed. I have a couple more Floyd in mind...
Mark.
brillbilly
I give you a standing ovation on this one....pure class!

Do you do requests lol.

Superb cover!

full respect to ya!

a challenge for sure...but you sure are up to it Mark...this has to be about as close to the original as you can get ...Ed
