Title: Crazy Train - Ozzy cover by thetworegs & Speed Demon
Post by: Speed Demon on July 12, 2013, 07:57:25 AM
                        This is crazy! I'm really going to steal Trevor's voice, this time.

I re-posted this tune. Now it has a better balance between the vocals and the instruments. Download it again.

Thank you, lady and gentlemen.

And a major thanks to Old Golden Throat. (AKA Trevor)

I may need to re-fret my guitars by summer's end. I'm wearing them out trying to keep up with Trevor.

Wow, hat's off to you bro - A 70 year old pulling off that solo deserves serious cudo's! Hell, post a You Tube vid and you'd get a couple million hits!

Trev, loved the vox and I want live in your basement for the rest of the summer. Just throw me a crust of bread every now and then ;D

Thanks, guys. I enjoyed doing this tune.

Gnasty, I developed the tone for the rhythm guitar tracks by first selecting an amp model for maximum overdrive then using EQ and a small amount of reverb to give it a hollow sound.

The pinched harmonics were done by lightly touching vibrating strings with my finger tips and nails at second order harmonic points in the scale. I do not play using picks. To me, they are just one more thing to lose on stage.

Thanks for lending me your ears, gentlemen. You can have them back now. Small hole in the tympani.

Trevor, I didn't need to ice down the guitar but it was hemorrhaging from the neck by the time the song was completed.

Great performances guys! Gene you nailed the guitar and solo like the pro you are. Nobody can say "seasoned" musicians can't still rock....if they do you just proved them wrong. Trevor you vocals fit the song perfectly....nice pipes!

Launched, you are correct. I am an old guitarist. 71 this past June 18th.
Got my first guitar at the age of 12 and its been a love affair ever since.
I consider every day a new practice session. I'm still mastering the instrument.

I plan on playing for my own funeral. Live.
That ought to scare the crap out of a lot of people.
They'll be hollering for their momma, right quick.

Thanks for listening, Dave.

If it wasn't for Trevor's incredible vocal skills I would never have played a lot of the songs he and I have posted here. There's no way I could have made the vocals sound anywhere near as good.

I am a fortunate demon. (this statement is not approved by Mrs Demon)
