Well, it's been a long time, fellows. I'm still under the writer's block, but I broke the status quo for long enough to upload this! I've had some great times with you, Openlight, and I don't think I know anyone who slides as much as you, so I'd like to dedicate this song to you. Enjoy!

This is sweet, yo.

I can definitely hear OL's style in this song, but there are some things you should work on.

Try using different hats than the stock one, its sound is very recognizable. Another thing would be to vary up your instruments. Just look for more instruments in FL and try them out.

Thanks, Retroman. Let's see... the reaseon I use the hat from the stock is because it's SO DARN CATCHY AND AWESOME. For my music, you will always- and I mean always- hear that hat. You can't change me. But thanks for the advice. :P And the thing about new FL Studio instruments, that's exactly what OpenLight taught me. At first I only used the Channel Presets. I had no idea there were any more!

I'm speechless.

I've had 4 remixes, two from you and two from Retro, but this is definitely my first tribute.

I do need to put more slides in my newer songs. There were hardly any in my last original! I would gladly accept the title of Newgrounds sliding king, hahaha.

This is fantastic. Thanks!

drew6464 responds:

Well, the reason it sounds so much like your style is because when I decided it should include lots of sliding, I took the first part from your song, "Slide Testing." And I didn't really slide- I kind of cheated there. I just used the JrBass from the stock (you might recognize the lead instrument from Passion Modified Remodified) and it always sounds like it's sliding.
