"Waiting for Heaven and Hell" w/Lurker

[Blooby]

Update: I excised some (not all...a wee bit perhaps) of my drunk-ass bass playing (but boy howdy, I left that cheesy clinker in there loud and proud), added a few overdubs, went with a bigger sounding drum kit, and tried to make the mix more unapologetic. That last speedy lick is a farce. I think I got a fraction of a bar of it sounding even. I then made liberal use of cut and paste. Cracks me up.

Still needs some more balancing, but it's getting closer.

Original post: John recycled some lyrics from an errant acoustic tune that never saw the light of day.  That is some drunk-ass bass playing.

That would be Bruce's drunk ass.

Waiting for Heaven or Hell

I left my home far behind
Not knowing what I hoped to find
Years of traveling free
Taught me to listen and see
Though some may count me as wise
I've learned I can still be surprised

CHORUS
Oh, the wind's blowing cold
Chilling me to the soul
I stare through the bars of my cell
Waiting for heaven or hell

Came here looking for peace
Trouble's a relentless beast
In a room at the top of the stairs
Somebody's waiting there
I was too slow to see
She's not waiting for me

CHORUS
Oh, the wind's blowing cold
Chilling me to the soul
I stare through the bars of my cell
Waiting for heaven or hell

BRIDGE
I've been in some tight spots before
But always found a way out the door
Knowing even as I ran
The next one could be my last stand

She played me from the start
To rouse her jealous man's heart
Thinking he'd scare me away
But I left him dead as he lay
The judge wields a gavel and a glare
The jury has vengeance to spare

CHORUS
Oh, the wind's blowing cold
Chilling me to the soul
I stare through the bars of my cell
Waiting for heaven or hell
Oh, the wind's blowing cold
Chilling me to the soul
I stare through the bars of my cell
Waiting for heaven or hell

Great rocker! Very enjoyable listen! Great choice with the drum track and tone. You slammed the vocals and the guitar work is top notch as well.

[DarrenG / The Devil's Toupee]

Awesome song guys. The beat and groove is so catchy. The guitar work is so impressive. ( bass sounds fine to me)Love the drums.  Top notch stuff all round.
Brilliant lyrics that fit so well, and I love the vocals.
You two really make some brilliant songs.

[Farrell Jackson]

I dig the drunk-ass bass playing! The drums sound cool. John's vocals/lyrics are great and so is the panning you applied to them. The tremolo on the guitar at sections creates a nice ambient vibe. The guitar work is excellent!

[Ron D Bowes]

Sounding good. Bass driving things. A heavy-funky-tasty song!

[kenny mac]

Nice tune guys ,love that groove.
You guys are the real deal.
That guitar kicks ass. Those stabbing chords with attitude.
The vocals too.
Magic stuff guys.

I think this is splendid stuff.  The drunk-arse (English translation bass drives this along - and the speedy guitar line towards the end is all good for me!  And the vocals!  Oh yes indeed.
