| Thanks for the great words, and thanks for the great words about my recording of Pig too. Do you notice I sing the word "siiing" flat every single frigging time except in the first chorus. ;o) I re-recorded the outro vocals last thing right before sending the file to Brian and I wish I'd spent as much time getting them right as I did the first verse and chorus!!! (It was also that same last minute 'session' in which I decided to just ditch the "So I can tell them all to bugger off!!!" bit cause it was coming out weak as bat shit :o) ) I'll re-record the end vocals one day I think. Just for kicks. See if I can't hit the high note on bugger "off" without having to go falsetto. I love playing musician for a day. :o) Everyone on merciless nite rocks. > I´m not a great reviewer, but THIS really needs to be > reviewed by everyone who got a copy because it´s so full > of heart and soul that it should be reviewed even in > Rolling Stone magazine next to Meat Loaf´s last attemtp to > make another Bat Album without Jim.
