Bravo man! Down to the waterline was fantastic! And the vocals were actually good.  And SHS is one of my favourite songs and was glad to hear a new redition! Do you play everything yourself? If I remember correctly you do on the Sabinas tracks.   
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

Thank you guys! Well, some people dont realize, while Mk playing is genius, the hardest part is to sing the songs. He has such a unique tone and voice. His guitar playing can be ALMOST reproduce note by note (NOT BY ME :wave, but check some stuff on youtube, pretty great).

Thanks again.

I like bath your drumming and guitar playing! But putting it all together must be a bit hard. But bravo for pulling it off. And as I said, your vocals on DTTW are good.

Its demanding, but i like it, i do it on my spare time. Anyway, what did you think of single handed....? you seem to have some genuine honest opinions....

ferguitar you are smart and probably read between the lines. Don't pay too much attention on my comments though. They are far from genuine and well honesty has a different weight in different hands, so you learn not to pass it around easily, not out of fear but out of concern.  SHS had better syncronized drums, but the vocals were not that good. Maybe if they were a bit subdued (or like DTTW) they might have worked better. Your drumming rivals the guitar for certain on this one. Quality and volume! And your guitar is awesome!  I don't know if it is a matter of turning knobs (production I mean) but when you come up against the original you start wondering, if Pick was able to do his thing freely.  I also like your ending!
