Not earthshattering, but a fair amount of change. Rather significant tempo change, funk/jazzish rhythm guitar, and chord alterations on the chorus.
Impressive. Good change, I like the line and the tempo better than the original. Had me groovin...

I'm not a musician, haven't made happy sounds since high school. BUT, I know what I like. It's like most things in that you make a change to one person that sounds good, to another it could be blasphemy (kinda like sticking a small block Chevy in 911...but that's another thread...).

To me it's more a matter of audio presentation. Henley's original seemed lacking in depth, and kinda keening, but thats his voice and style. The Atari's presented in a different way and that's what appealed to me more than the original. It's all subjective, just like taste.

How did your video project from a few months ago work out?
