Great job!

I started off with "yeah, its ok, his voice fits Mike better than Chester", then you got into the heavy bridge and I that got me on board!  You've got a really good voice and a feel for music, Chris.

Like Felipe, it's hard for me to listen to this at such a lower pitch, but I don't necessarily agree that is the reason for it sounding so stiff.   I'd like to hear how you sound after you've sang this a bunch more times and don't have to think about it so much.  

Big Soundgarden fan here... This was sweet, I want a headbanging emoticon for crying out loud! 

You were able to add that bit of that grit which is just killer, and makes me super jealous

The vocals were top notch, mix was stomping, great job!

Hahaha! Oh man, at first I was like 'ummm.... am I at the right clip?'   I really dug this, can't wait to hear the finished song.  I don't have much to add on the singing itself other than I liked what you did, particularly carrying over the 'sway' phrasing from the jazz part into the rock part.

Wow, thanks, KillerKu, for the very extensive review!   I agree that Down the Line is more approachable, there is a lot going on in Revenge that might turn people off.  Revenge was originally an acoustic song from another band I was in but I always thought it would make a kickin' rock song so I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Ok, just checking!

Challenge? No, I just thought it would be fun to put up another version that is also old

I didn't mean to derail or hijack the thread, I can edit my original post if you want?

Nice job! Your voice fits the song very well, imho.  The only thing I would have like to see was holding some of the lines in the chorus out a bit more, but that's getting pretty picky.

Since I've posted a couple comments on other peoples threads I suppose I better come clean and allow others to do the same to me

These are a couple songs recorded in 2010, enjoy!

Down the Line -

_{edit 2 - Nope, removed.}

_{edit 3 - Now it's working again...}

Nice job, Robert!

I'll add mine too from a few years ago if that's cool?

Thanks Mrloud, yes, that is the part of the song which always gives me trouble. If I have understood you correctly, the dipthong would be like l-ah-ohn-ley la-ay-fee.. Correct?

Enjoyed this a lot. It sounds like you are constricting a bit on the 'change this lonely life(?)' parts.  Maybe try for a vowel modification on 'lonely',  instead of 'oh' try 'ah'?

Nice pick!  I love Priest

I thought it was a really good effort.  The thing that stood at to me was how consistent your overall timbre was, particularly when going up on the 'let it be!' parts.

One of my favorite tunes as well.  I would like to hear more articulation, as Robert said, to my ear it sounds too 'open'.  Ian Gillan has always been able to get a super strong 'E' sound that's tough to duplicate.  Most people I have heard do this song switch out to an open 'A' sound.

(Apologies to you and Robert for not using the terms used in Pillars for describing what I am trying to say, I have the program but have not spent as much time with it as I would like.)

Wow, nicely done!  A very cool take on this song.

The way you did the guitar totally reminds of another song, but can't think of what for the life of me, LOL!
