An instrumental version of the song is available in these formats as well.For guitarists, there's a "Player Pack" that has a transcription of the entire lead guitar track as a PDF file - musical notation, TAB, fingers, picking, and helpful hints. Included with the transcription is a 'Backing Track' mix and a 'Boosted Lead Guitar' mix, in both WAV & MP3 formats.The "Producer Pack" contains 48kHz/24-bit Stereo WAV files of the mix 'stems' - there's a file of drums, percussion, bass, rhythm guitars, guitar harmonies, lead guitar, guitar extras, and vocals that you can load into your multi-track software and play with levels, making your own mixes.

The Glow Inc. Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Great version, love that huge growling bass. He also sounds a bit like Ozzy on this song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimi Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) As a (crappy) guitar player myself it's cool to see him include not only tabs for this song but backing tracks as well. Very cool and something i'm sure other guitar players will appreciate! Edited February 22, 2011 by Chimi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaramouche Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Loved it! Great cover, and the vocals here are amazing!Does anyone know when Invisible will be out?Don't think anyone know when he'll release it. He's doing a video for it though, so he'll probably finnish that before he release the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian0612 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Great song and great version. I love the different download options (Player pack , Producer Pack). Axl could take lessons on how to release music from Bumble. I would love to hear Axl on the vocals of this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NewGNRnOldGNR Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) I think it's great (bought the single and instrumental). A lot more heavy than the happy go lucky essence of "Bernadette". The haunting/almost grunge like vocals are awesome (bass accompanies that well). The simplistic riff (in comparison with others) works well, and more importantly affirms that Ron, contrary to otherwise suggestions, is not just a shredder.Having said that, I prefer "Bernadette". Why? Well simply because it appears to my ear passages more (“Strawberry Fields” does too, just to a lesser extent).

ppruks Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 it's fucking epic...I was so glad to hear that he hadn't done anything too fancy to the song, kept it nice and simple, this cover got me into bumble's solo stuff and I was pretty amazed to be quite honest, to find out that his music wasn't as weird as I thought it would be, or maybe I've just grown used to listening more experimental stuff, but I've listened to 'Abnormal' and '9.11' so far and I'm loving it!

Getting Normal and Hands soon...I'd probably stick to just normal and abnormal actually. The general consensus is that they're his best albums by far;personally I didn't like the rest of his stuff apart from this song: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
