Need your opinion on the mixing approach of my new cover. (G

[fustrun]

So i released a new cover, first thing you got to know is that i took the original song turned it to mono and cut all the low end from it, now that removed most of the detail of the original song and gave me room to work on, and by turning it mono it removed the original grungy guitars playing at the left and right channels.

Thing is i'm a soundtrack producer and i like mixes that sound right . . so even though it's a guitar cover i kept the vocal as the center of the song as it should be . . so some people complained they can't hear the guitars but i think the mix is good . . do you think that if i present a guitar cover i should make the guitars the center of the mix even though it has vocals ? and even if it was an original song that wouldn't be the case ?

Maybe my whole approach is wrong, because i originally wanted to cover tracks such as these to gather a larger audience.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated !
