A track from Blackout , and my favorite from the album , so i done a version and asked Rod to add the Vocals . Klaus is a very difficult vocalist to mimic , he has an incredible range , and I'm totally knocked out by Rods performance !!. Many thanks to you Rod :thumb: ,

Anyway we hope you like the track :)

It feels weird to see you collaborating with a vocalist other than Geordie, Art lol. It kinda goes without saying that this "backing" (i hate calling them that cause theyre so much more) is absolutely stunning quality. And wow what vocals... really top vocal performance. the control and vibrato. awesome stuff. killer solo too Art ;)... i love to hear you play man. In a bizarre kind of way i see you as the Blackmore to my Yngwie... weird i guess... but you rock man. Excellent!!!

Many thanks people , i really appreciate your comments , thank you .

And yeah Danny Geordie is my old pal as it were and we will do something again for sure , but Ive worked with 3F and JPF as well as Geordie , and i rate them all equally . One thing GB is good at and thats producing some real great Vocalists . Each one has a certain area were they excel , Rod has that pitch and accent which attracted me , and it led to me doing this tune with him in mind , Next time it could be you Danny !!!!

Thank you all very much :yourock:

Next time it could be you Danny !!!!

lol, can't imagine myself doing much vocally... too much background noise from this mic. But yeah, you've had all the best singers with you for sure... but i still think of You and Geordie as the main duo. fits nicely. This is top class though indeed. Excellent vocalists to be found here indeed. :thumb:

Another jaw dropping cover... First off the vox is amazing! Incredibly accurate to my ears. A really amazing job with the vocals. And another very impressive track you put together bluesplayer. I'm constantly in awe of the quality!! Great job guys!!:thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Superb. Loved the production like many have said. My speakers picked up the acoustic over to the left hand side beautifully. What do you use for the drums again mate? If it includes MIDI, I'll be lost. Jabs is a superb guitarist who I feel doesn't get the plaudits because of Schenker and Uli Roth but you had his sound and everything.

r.........., what can I say. You know you have a great voice that has that special quality that means it can project every word clear as a bell. Meine you do well but I'm determined to do a RM song wit ya one day!!!

Great post.

Aye !!!! Said it for a long time !!! Bob would slip right into a Richard Marx track. Another one of my fav singers who we dont hear that much of nowwa days. But i suppose age gets us all in the end :chucks:

There's so many great Scorpions tracks and Rod is just a great, great fit. Never heard anyone else capture Klaus' vibe quite as well as he does. The backer and guitar work is spot on; just flawless. Cool choice too, not the typical Scorps hit.

Yes mate...'Keep Coming Back' from 'Rush Street' where he guests with the big fella sadly departed, Luther Vandross. BUT, it's be a big job. I could do the bass and drums and me mate could do the sax, but I'd need Pianoman to do the rhoads and piano :) Let me have a think. If you wanna hear the song, let me know and I'll e-mail you it. Serious funk mind! :toothless:

Absolutely spiffing chaps.

Never doubted it for a moment though ... especially with Rod in full 'Klaus' mode.

Is there such a thing as a Scorpions tribute band? There damn well SHOULD be .. and we all know who would HAVE to be the singer, hey? :)

A pleasure and a privilege to hear fellas .. definitely worth 5

Wah, lets do it!!! I like that song!

Hehe...I'll have to get the cd out of the top shelf and see what I've let myself in for. I'll be back!

Art, I don't know what it is with this piece, I've done no drinking or any other extra cirricular activity... but this stands out as such a special track production wise. I'm not a big fan at all of 80's ballad type stuff... and I've never really felt anything special for this song, but I swear it was oozing with pure magic. Rod, you are a very big part of that. The vocals here are, IMO, the best I've heard you do which is saying a whole lot. EXCELLENT!!!

Hey Art, in your travels of working with some of the voice talents here at GB, I would love to hear what you would do with the supercharges... I think that'd be a real treat too.

Art, this is spooky. Your covers are usually brilliant but this one is like a blooming replica. The singer has Klaus to a tee and your playing has the tone, sound and feel spot-on. May be you should release "Rock-Clones on 45" :yourock: !!!!!

I also saw the thread with Shoot!. That made me laugh. Great tune but I can't belive how poor the sound and production is looking back....and I thought it ws quite good at the time:notme:

You should have a go at doing something with those old Lazydog and Hammer tracks you and I worked on a few years back. There is potential in them thar toons.

All best Arty. See you and Linda at the weekend for Glenn Hughes:woot:

STUNNING!!!!! Absolutely STUNNING!!!!! Art, you know how i feel about your productions and playing mate....truly of a caliber not many can achieve for sure...but this was off the scale. Unbelievable mix, playing just ridiculously accurate!!! I bow my friend!!!! And Rod....definitely the most awe inspiring Klaus replica i've ever heard you do...tone and control like nobody's business!!!! What an incredible duo on this!!!! She is nominated, and also getting the............................................... .........................................
