Dio Tribute "Rainbow in the Dark" Song Discussion

[Paulie!]

I am afraid I'm ill again (bloody epidemia here). And we're short on time. With all my efforts I won't be able to do vocals before 22 of September, which is too late. If the deadline will be moved - I'm still in. If it won't be and if Jacare will do fine with C - i'll be happy, cos I feel like I've swallowed the British Steel album.

That's cool man, understandable.

Re-Tracking Front.. I'm getting new strings today/tomorrow.. PM'd some scratch tracks to Jacare, and Severu is going to start tracking the new bass.. Jussi.. can you give us the keys in Gm?

Nice!, i hope we can get this on time. :S

 

[DanLights]

guys, deadline is loosened, since we still haven´t sorted the legal issues and the artwork, we will leave it open for now, some really great sounding songs still aren´t finished and we don´t wanna rush them into having mediocre performances/mixes so take your time

 

[Paulie!]

Thanks Dan... this helps alot.. this song HAS to be on there, haha..

Thanks a lot!

 

[Max Morton]

Thank you, gentlemen We'll have another prepared track, I believe

[Paulie!]

All right! I'm definately pumped about this, didn't know if we were gonna get this done or not.. I'm retracking the rhythms and leads with some fresh strings tonight/tomorrow.. Mephisto I'll send them to ya!

Uh.. Just grabbed them from the studio. I hope these are in the right key!

 

[Paulie!]

Still waiting to hear from Mephisto.. wanted his opinions on the rhythms and the "bridge/breakdown/last chorus" thing...

Other than that.. tracking is done...

[mephisto_loh]

Sorry I'll give a shot this week and send the results, i've been very busy at work.

Guys,
This is a first approach with the new guitars and vocals. What do you think?

[Paulie!]

Yeah, I think I'll be redoing that solo, haha.. It doesn't sound nearly as tight as I thought it did when I recorded it, haha!

What is everyone's opinion on the bridge?

EDIT: The bridge I'm referring to is @ 3:40-ish where I drop the rhythm guitar out to a sustained E chord and play just the tale, letting the bass and keys take over underneath Max's vox and then come in with the little lead bit at the end.
