So what do you think about creating the IVAN'S RULES collab series If you do, I'm in!

It's sounds a bit "aggressive" when I think of "Ivan Rules", but then again "GMC Rules", that could fit

It's not so bad if it's "Ivan'S Rules".. like the rules of Ivan.. that's what Todd was going for. I think that's pretty cool

Oh, please excuse me Todd, I wasn't spelling it correctly! Thanks Ben!


Well, sure why not having collab series, I think it's a great idea!

first rough take for me with some rough ideas, I`ll clean this up and do a vid soon as poss

I`ve done something over the intro and a verse but uploaded the whole song just for the mo

Wow, awesome lines in there, thanks Chris!

Awaiting your videos too guys! I need them for merging them together in a music video!

cheers Ivan, I will try to shoot & post vid tonight along with cleaning up.

quick question, I`m using guitar rig to record the guitars so can take away the delay if you`d prefer?

Thanks mate!

If you like the way delay sounds on the backing - I suggest you to keep it!

Here is my take Ivan.. I used Chris's take to inspire me to imagine what could come next after his awesome-ness !

Solo begins at 1:09

I found this one really challenging ! I hope you like it

Mine's coming up next week

Thank you Cosmin, it was a real headache to get it right.. I honestly thought I was going to have to walk away and leave it ! Look forward to hearing yours !

wow! end third was brilliant, well it was all great but I especially loved the last third, blew my socks off!!

Wow, Ben, those are some awesome lines there, love it! Fits perfectly over chorus!

Can't wait to hear other takes and watch the videos, I have a feeling this collab is gonna be awesome!

btw: again, an awesome backing, really inspiring, loved it!

Now that's a great video! Quite a few of those cabs there Awesome work Chris!

WOW, that kicks maximum butt ! A wall of Marshalls is my dream !!! I'm loving your whammy scoop harmonies and your whammy vibrato !



Thanks Chris, I think I developed a few more grey hairs trying to get it right !



Thank you Ivan, glad you like it.. I tried not to go too over the top

thanks Ben, was a dream of mine too! I think the picture was from a Slayer stage shot, I just googled "huge Marshall wall stack" and that came up

I disguise my grey hairs by shaving the lot off! not an option in your case I know

WOW, y'all have made some killer recordings here!! It would be a joke for me to submit something to try and play at your levels!

No way, don't be silly... nobody has to be at anybody else's level, it's all about anyone and everyone getting involved And anyway, you're damn good !

echoing Ben, its just about the taking part, thats the whole point of these, we are all learning
