Very nice, but there’s just a couple of things that I would have added - a bit of lead guitar, maybe a short solo or the odd riff here and there (tastefully used) and maybe use a vocal harmoniser in the odd patch to emphasise certain parts of the song. I got Eagles / Tom Petty vibes from this song, enjoyed it!
It's great. Now I've been playing drums in bands for over 20 years and so my ear naturally gravitates toward the drum mix. I'll state that I have no issue with programmed drums, it just speeds stuff up (although there is no replacement for a good live drummer, lol). Here's my react: I like that you have the drums forward in the mix, a lot of non-drum composers push it back. I like the various accents on the high hat and the ride and the general beat is good. Were I a drummer in the mixing room, I would toss in a few crashes at the end of fills and on a few snare hits, but that is the nit of nits of nits. Great tune!
This is pretty good! You have a great voice and the song is solid. Definitely get the Tom Petty vibes. Production is nice too, the guitars sound very good. Snare is a bit loud perhaps?
I like it! Got an old school Traveling Wilbury’s vibe to it. Is that a Vintera 50’s Strat in the thumbnail? Thinking about picking one right now in that exact color, Seafoam Green.
@@ErolReacts I thought it might be after I looked closer and saw it was at least worn like a lacquer finish. Sweet guitar! I’d love a custom shop Strat or Tele one day. But today I did pick up a 2001 Classic Series 70’s reissue 3 tone burst that the previous owner installed some kind of custom shop pickups in. Haven’t been able to figure out what set it is, or if it’s a mix. The signs pointed towards Texas Specials, but the readings are awful low for those hot pickups, 5.75 in the neck and around 6.3 in the middle and bridge. Really dig the song, is this the guitar used on it?
Good catch. I never finished the last hook track. Wasn't sure if i wanted guitar or something else. That's why I played organ on the video... to fill the space! Good catch!

Includes lots of demos from the 70's to current. All different styles.
Really liked it! Nice groove, the vocals surprised me, real nice! Kinda CCR feeling. You were rocking those keys too! 🤘
Nice classic rock sound, good groove on the keyboard.
The vocals are so fine
That is a jump in your car and head on down the highway! Love it!
Gives me Springsteen and Tom Petty vibes. I dig it. 😊
Thank you!
I definitely got Tom Petty vibes!
Great song. Need some more! Straight ahead rock with a touch of the Smithereens and maybe some Blue Rodeo on top 👍👍👍
Love the Smithereens!
🤘I would listen to this on a long drive🤘
Definitely some Blue Rodeo vibes with the keys, nice work Erol!
For sure

That was awesome 🙌🏻 loved the live playing too
Thanks so much!!
Love it!
Excellent 👌👌 regards from Chile South America
Thanks and welcome
😂👍
Great song, I like the rolling along feeling you get when you listen to this. Honestly this would be a great song to drive to. Props 😎✌️
Thanks for listening
"She'll take you for a spin but she's not gonna buy" Do tell!! Great mix of classic rock giants. I got an Eagles feel. Really tight music and lyrics.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
We need a studio tour! You have some sweet looking gear!
Soon!

Thanks! I love playing with powerful drummers (what...? 🤣) so thats how I envisioned this song... Thanks for the input!

Thanks for listening.. It was just done as a demo so it's a bit rough.. Thanks!
Great!
Thank you!
Getting REM vibes at the start, with a touch of eagles, like it
Thanks!
Pretty cool. I'm getting Fleetwood Mac/Eagles vibes.
Thanks!
Laid back vibe, but still packs a punch. Feels like a car song. Nice organ solo, Erol.
Cool. Thanks!
Got an REM vibe, it's well produced, not too glossy. Musically, it's a bit "safe" for me, if it were on in a local pub/bar I wouldn't heckle.
😀 Thanks! Always appreciate the non hecklers!
It was better than anything that was on Spotify's top ten countdown that I just listened to on Rick Beato' channel.
Wow! What a great compliment! Thanks!
Haha I just watched that too😂
did not expect those vocals from you!! really sick. that chorus is mad catchy.
Thank you very much!
Great song! I like the organ and your vocals are very cool.
Thank you!
That's actually pretty cool! I love it haha
Thanks!
Sounds great! Awesome idea, turn the tables on YT’ers.
Thanks. Figured I'd Try something new.

It's a custom shop!

@@81ghale I actually used a 70s strat for that guitar sound. it has the right sound for the tune. But like a moron, I sold it!
@@ErolReacts GAS is real tho, so I understand if that was the reason 😂
can we have the link to this song! i totally love this! great mix too.
Thanks! I'll put link in the comments!
Maybe needing a guitar lead hook and some vocal harmonies
Good catch. I never finished the last hook track. Wasn't sure if i wanted guitar or something else. That's why I played organ on the video... to fill the space! Good catch!
I dig it. Seems Anthony Kiedis may have taken some vocal inspiration from you (:
Nice complement! Thank you!
