Interesting stuff.  I'm hearing some of the same influences you talked about for GNR, and so many others.  I definitely hear a strong Seattle groove in there-- maybe more in the way you mixed so that your guitars left plenty of room for the bass-- something Soundgarden does so well.  I also feel hints of Hendrix and Sabbath in there-- amiwrong?

Thanks for the kind words there, bud. I had been listening to a hell of a lot Living Colour at the time -- they're a band I still love to this day, what they did with metal in cross-pollinating it was great, and they don't get enough credit for that. But the vibe I was going for was just a three-piece band showing up and ripping.The artists you've mentioned were all certainly influences on my playing and writing, but not so much on that song, at least not consciously.

But yeah, I'm big on sonic space inside a song, giving each instrument room to breathe. That comes from my longtime love of power trios -- Jimi, Cream, the Who, Rush -- they all took the trio format in different directions, but they all had that leanness of sound, except once Rush discovered keyboards.

I dig that Dead Kennedys sort of groove you get going in places. I wish I could hear the drums better, because I can tell there are some blasts there that would add a lot to the song. It's good stuff.
