Ronws - Thanks very much for your comments (my accent is actually English hehe!).  
 
I've had a listen to your version of this song and I must say your vocal sounds far more controlled and refined than mine, I always feel like I'm on the edge of losing control when singing this one as it's such a strain :-(  I'd like to somehow harness the control you seem to have.
 
Jonpall - to answer your questions, I'm not 100% sure how to describe how I get my voice like that.  I have a naturally gravelly singing voice anyway (think early Bon Jovi), and I have to really force it to sing cleanly.  For the ACDC stuff I kinda reduce the space at the back of my mouth by having my tongue relatively high, and I push the vocal from my throat.  It's the sort of thing I could probably demonstrate in person but putting into in words is really difficult!
 
I'm actually singing that in full voice/full volume.  I find it's easier to sing if I reduce the power, but it doesn't sound of feel the same so I go full tilt.

This was recorded recently with my band in a friend's home studio.
 
I'm singing the lead vocal, and all the backing vocal parts are also me - these might be incorrect though - it took me forever to figure out the harmonies as I don't have any real musical theory knowledge  :-(  They sound ok to my ear but that could just be me!!
 
In particular I struggled with the high notes on the lead vocal - especially the "I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might" before the choruses.  The more I listen back to those sections over and over, the more I dislike the way I sang them.  
 
Any tips or feedback - good or bad would be much appreciated!
