Spin off demo -- Def Leppard/Riot inspired rock tune

[TwilightOdyssey]

In my other new demo thread, the song had a LOT of riffs; I am parsing them off into separate songs because it didn't really work for me as one song (not for this project, anyway -- for my prog band, it would've been fine).

I took one of the riffs and developed it into this sketch; key is D. Verses are in F#m. It reminds me of a mashup between Def Leppard and Riot now.



EDIT : Clip updated to v3.

Sick riff...love the guitar grind! Some tasty bass in there too..

Thanks! I realized that the synth really didn't fit, so I swapped the Juno out for the Oberheim SEM ... and added some Ovation to the verses.

Updated version:



Edit: synth still wasn't right. Some major adjustments later yielded a much more appropriate sound.

Definitely has a Def Lepp vibe to it. I like the clean part.
