Hey RG (do I have to send them to you then everytime I want to post audio? Not familiar with the process. I can't record in 48 just 44.1khz), no of course not just post them with within 10MB limit. As you know I'm not a fan of MP3 files, I just wanted to hear your tones with more clarity and withought the attack transients being destroyed (which unfortunately is what the MP3 codecs do).
So just listened to Queen (stone cold crazy), not their best song IMO (I prefer tie your mother down for example) but I think I kind of get what MJMP means. In which case, wouldn't DP highway star rate as thrash (in a way ??).
VH's version of you really got me just made the song palatable, I'd describe is as a "rocked up" version (like Bowie/Mick Ronson's version of friday on my mind (off pinups)). Best thing about VH's first album is it put guitar playing back on the map after years of boring disco (from a guitarists perspective, well mine anyway as I had to suffer through that period).
Interestingly, Steve Stevens did a version of the Sweet's "Action" on atomic playboy, but they thought they were doing a Queen tribute, good version BTW.
BTW Blackmore apparently used to kick holes in his speakers to get more speaker break up, thank god for MP1/2 so we don't need to do that shit to get a decent sound.
