OK, between Poley and Harnell, I can't decide whom's voice I like better. I mean, Poley can do stuff like Race to Win, yet Harnell can do stuff like It Doesn't Matter (both versions are amazing).
thank you so much Ted, as a longtime fan of this game and especially this wonderful song it is a great gift to see a live version of it like you have done in this recording sessions video.
We switched off on some of the vocals this time to make it different so we sang some of each others parts. Its close to, but not exactly the same as the original, Hope that helps.
@tedpoley1 Thank you :) Other people will just let them say stuff like SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE, witch I know what you were trying to say, Set me free :) So I'm glad you answer your fans and inform them the right info :D
WOW Amazing, I love you style, Ted! and also your humor :)
But, here's one thing that confused me:
You are the main vocals in this version, and Tony is the back.... in the original and the Classic mix ¿who is the main vocals? ¿you or Tony? because I kinda confused your voice with the Tony's voice! I don't know why...
IT WAS A BOTCHED "SET ME FREE" hey- i am only human,,i screwed up an otherwise pretty good take by just one word! Try singing this one, its not easy to both breathe and get everything to flow at this speed!
NO WAY ! i didnt swear!,,,I SLURRED THAT ONE WORD at that time point,,it was my only flub,i didnt have my old man reading glasses on and was caught focusing just as i looked down and i got distracted for a sec and it came out a little messy ,thanks for catching that! LOL, geez, i cant sneak even the smallest detail past a gamer,thats why you are so good at gaming! but anyway, yes you got the mistake spot correct but the word COMPLETELY WRONG!,I LOVE YOU ALL! HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY SEASON! :)
Performing this live would make many fans happy.. what about possibly going to the next Summer of Sonic event? (held annually in London, I believe, in June around Sonic's birthday time)
@tedpoley1 I'm not disappointed I was a bit shocked though, and thanks for replying it feels like an honor :) I will never forget this song and the first time I escaped from the city in Sonic Adventure 2!
@tedpoley1 At least the crew up didn't make it into the game or we'd have a lot more drama going on here haha. Nicely done! Although, nothing beats the original mix for me :P
good one man haha i got your youtube acct im gonna add ya!! By the way i seen you at M3 fest in baltimore loved seeing you guys after all those years!! Rock on brother!!!

Ted Poley just got 20% cooler by saying "Fuck me free" at 2:52 as many noticed.
Naah.. just kidding) But 20% coolness bonus is real anyway.
