I'm not a huge fan of the "Yeah!Alright!" but i think the rest of the vocals are nicely done. But my favorite part is the Allman Bros-like leads.

gaybear--

what's wrong with the 'alright!'?!!
heheh
yea, i actually was down on my knees in front of the cab, doing the opening feedback thing....

that was the first track i laid down.

and when it was time to actually drop into the first chord of the song, i yelled 'alright' so i had a point of reference.

when i went to mix it down, i couldn't really edit it out....
so i decided to add ANOTHER one on top of it, a sort of harmony to it, and reinforce it.

all in the heat of the moment.
not to coin a lame assed ASIA song.....

thanks for listening, and COMMENTING!

ok, last bump before i yank this one for something else.....
