I think thats absolutely fantastic. I also really enjoyed the crazy equalizer (probably the wrong word) patterns in the background, especially the newgrounds tank on some musical waves. Seriously though, dude. Great job.

Gah, why did you have to play guitar notes in place of the lyrics? From what I could hear, you also slowed it down a lot in those parts. I know it's a cover, but still...

Overall, though, it still sounds alright. I liked hearing this song as a really rockin' version.

I really like the song, it has lots of charachter.

How did you record this? It sounds incredibly DI. Very dry. Reverb is an amazing thing to get to know how to use.

You're drums are sampled right? If not, fucking kudos on that kick and snare.

Well, ng doesn't seem the place for vocals, since the songs are used as soundtracks. I mean unless you were making a movie specifically about the song.
I slowed it down so I could double the drum speed, and also so I could do the extra speed at the end.

I recorded it with one mic through a preamp.
I'll experiment with reverb next time! I'm usually hesitant to try it 'cause it seems like it would just muddy things even more.
The drums are from Reason. I have recorded drums before, but they sounded nothing like that. :P

It would be alot better with the original songs tempo.


+ I love how you always incorporate a double foot pedal into your songs, and make it actually sound good. durr.


But it's awesome nonetheless. : D
