 This is an original tune I wrote about 12 years ago when I was playing in a band called "Tongue." I did the drums on my DR5 Dr.Rhythm drum machine, and recorded the stereo track in time @ 65bpm first, then layed 2 stereo rhythm guitar tracks, bounced em to get levels then mastered the drums with the bounce.

 Of course, the drummer we had was completely amazing and my simple "keeping the beat" drum track really dosen't do the song justice. If you can imagine Metallica style drums with Slayer style fills you'll be close to how he played the song.

 The octive guitar part I am playing wrong as the Singer/Guitarist wrote some wierd stuff that i can vaguely remember, but it went with his vocals mostly, but I tried to fit in best I could.

 I didn't lay any leads/solos down yet as I thought it might be cool to see what people here could come up with if you all are interested.

 Also, I ended the song abruptly, but we originally went on for another 2-3 minutes trading off solos to the heavy rhythm ala old metallica style.

 Again I used my ADA MP2 preamp for all my guitar tones and no effects on the MBR except mastering reverb because it kills the true stereo effect of my ADA, however the distortion/crunch tones sound really bad because I blew a tube in my preamp jamming over the weekend so I tossed in a cheap electroharmonix and compaired to Mesa tubes the tone is horrible, but I thought it was good enough to get the point across and lay the track down.


 I'm looking through all my old tapes to see if I can find a recording of us playing this live, stay tuned.

EDIT...............................
 Ok heres a soundclick link of us playing this live in 1998 at a venue in Calgary called "The Back Alley", not the best version, If i remember right it was about -40 C outside and little to no heating in the place, plus it was empty except our friends so we just got wasted and jammed pretty much lol, anyways only recording I can find atm, it will at least let you see how the vocal melody was arranged.

 naw.... that was 10 years ago. Long story short the band fell apart, and I pretty much quit playing entirely since until recently buying the MBR got me inspired again.

 The guy we had singing at the time wasn't even a vocalist, as in he blew his voice out every jam and gig, plus smoking and drinking... He was a good friend and a great guitarist though.

 I just posted this cause I wrote the whole thing and still had the beat programmed in my old drum machine, just wanted to share.

I won't waste your thread with a video post, but as soon as I saw the subject line, I knew this was immediately appropriate...

Wow. That's amazing. I like the way it isn't 'obvious' ... i.e. you don't know what's coming next when you listen. It makes it quite edgy.

And I'm glad the BR has brought you back to music, because you've got some great songwriting and guitar skills going on there.

Very nice structured song.  Pretty much perfect structurally.  Great playing.
