Haha, Lemmy’s voice? I’ll take that as a gravelly compliment! 😄 As for the guitar — no Boogie amp involved, just Boogie spirit and a few sneaky plugins. Thanks for the kind...

Cooler Song..groovt ohne Ende...Klasse Refrain. Nur im Vers ist deine Stimme etwas zu leise gegenüber dem Refrain. Meine Stimme hast du.... VOTE. Vielleicht hörst bei mir auch...
