Is it just me or... does this almost sound like a Mega Man track at least part of it?

Yeah, I know we just posted a WillRock mix, but you know what? It's his birthday! So there. It's also apparently Morphin' Time, which I initially misread as "Morphine Time!," a title I would have preferred, if not heeded. But I digress - Mr. Harby included the context, creation, AND source breakdown in his truly ideal submission email:

"Ah yes power rangers. I don't know about other people but power rangers has always had a strong nostalgic affect on me much like video games did that I played in that same point in time. However, unlike video games, this ended up somewhat lodged in the back of my mind for so many years. Anyway, one day I was looking through video game soundtracks on youtube for inspiration, and I found the music from the SNES game that I didn't know existed :P.

I was shocked at how good it was - think double dragon meets megaman meets street fighter and you might be close. So I decided to try out the classic rock/aor style that i've been working towards for a while now. If you like Journey, Bon Jovi or Van Halen there will be something for you to like here (the intro was inspired by the 1984 instrumental on the van halen album of the same name :D)

Anyway, Hope you guys enjoy this one, its a little rough around the edges due to me being unable to properly polish it (I lost the file due to a pro tools error) but I hope its good enough to pass. Btw, see if you can spot my little reference to the power rangers main theme ;)

You guys have been wanting breakdowns so here goes:
0:00-0:29 - intro
0:29-0:39 - Source Main riff
0:39-1:00 - Source Verse
1:00-1:23 - Source Link Section
1:23-1:53 - Source Chorus Section
1:53-1:59 - Original Link Section
1:59-2:15 - Source Verse Slowed down/breakdown
2:15-3:10 - Guitar Solo
3:10-3:30 - Source Verse Slowed Down/Second Breakdown
3:30-3:52 - Source Chorus Section
3:52-4:03 - Synth Solo over Chorus Section Chords
4:02-4:25 - Source Main Riff
4:25-4:43 - End"

Whew! Very comprehensive, and certainly makes my job easier, and the judges as well. WillRock is right, this game did have some great tunes, and if you DON'T like Journey, Bon Jovi, or Van Halen, you need to see the doctor for a refill on your prescription of AWESOME, as it has clearly run out. This sounds more like a Sixto mix than what I'm used to from WillRock - not in terms of quality, as all his stuff is solid and keeps getting better, but in terms of rock emphasis and some serious lead guitar action......
