Yeah, needed to happen.

I can hear what I think are Sam-isms. Maybe they're not, but the parts that sound Sam-ish to me are the post-first-chorus melodic part
Nope, I had that there when I wrote it, was also in the first recording you heard.

Kind of, yet again it was always there, but Sam had us double it an octave higher to bring it out a bit more.

What happened to that fucking blazing solo you did on the video? Man that was killer. This one is still very good (very professional sounding), although I was anticipating some kick ass shred lick from 2:31 - 2:37 which never came
. I suppose I should remember that 99.9% of your target audience will probably see guitar solos as "things that get in the way of the singing". They're probably right.
Yeah, was really two things, the first is what you said, the second; it was a matter of how much time we'd need to get it sounding perfect Vs how much time we had to get it done.
Ummm....
