This was the kind of mix takin couple o days, first gettin used to the tracks and decidin what on earth am I goin to do with this.
I ditched the extra lead vocal, didnt find it necessary.
Moved distorted guitars 1st part so it played the rest o the song, fortunately the chords were the same, even in the middle part, and just some cuts and movin around did it.
I thinned the intro guitars and added one o them after middle part, it needed a little extra.
cut some tambourin out and made it paly in middle part with other rhythm, emphasing beat 4 o the bar, it feel good I think.
Used a telephone notch and slap echo for the male voice, the one with words.
Did a little automation, specialy on lead vocal.
Tried a "modern" mastering but I think it sounds much better just cuttin a little so thats what you hear. Turn it up !
Edit: the bass drum is from an excellent danish sample pack (free) called 6 bit deep. If anyones interested I shall look up the link
2nd edit: in 2nd verse there is a guitar playin one note. I thought it would be fun tryin Xabis technique of dubbing it without phase problems, and copied it to a spare track, stretched it and tuned it few cents, moved it back so it started just before the original guitar. And guess what ? It works ! Thank you Xabix. Great trick.

Old ears, old gear, little boy inside love music and sounds and my wife, not necessarily in that order
