Mercy Killing Mercy Killing
My shot at writing a "love song". LOL The solo is a tribute to metal guitar gods Jake E. Lee, George Lynch, and of course...Dimebag.
Letters From The End Letters From The End
Although while growing up, I was highly influenced by early doom bands such as Celtic Frost, and Trouble, I never really went past that . Here we are over 20 years later, and this is my first shot at writing and recording a Doom Metal song
The Last Procession / Hypocricy The Last Procession / Hypocricy
The Last Procession is a short instrumental, was written after waking from a dream of being in the desert and being told to kneel face down as the procession passes. I wrote Hypocricy after listeming to two old ladies complain about everything!
Slip Away Slip Away
Temptation of being drawn back into drugs. It was my true love at the time. Trying to actually sing on this one instead of growling and screaming as on the rest of my songs. LOL
Texas Flood Texas Flood
Just jamming with a backing track to see what kind of tones I could get from my new strat. Thats not me singing, im only doing the guitars....not trying to cover, just jammin some blues.
Aqualung Aqualung
My interpretation of Jethro Tulls Aqualung. I took a few liberties with this song. I hope you can dig it.
Hiding in my room blues Hiding in my room blues
Took some licks from just some of the great guitar players that have influenced my playing (Jimi, Stevie, Eric, Carlos, Leslie West among others) , and expanded on them a bit as a tribute to my idols.
Enter The Beatnik Enter The Beatnik
Somthing different as I experiment with midi and virtual instruments for the first time. I strayed away from my metal roots on this song and tried some jazz.
Wildflower (Cover) Wildflower (Cover)
My interpretation of Skylarks 1972 classic - Wildflower. One of my all time favorites.
Cherub Rock (Cover) Cherub Rock (Cover)
My experimental shot at my favorite Smashing Pumpkins song. That wall of guitar fuzz is just so hard to emulate and Billy Corgans cool whiny rasp is somthing I just cant do, but I gave it a shot. LOL
Lizzy Please Lizzy Please
A song about Lizzy Borden. This was done as sort of a tribute to mid 80s / early 90s underground metal mixed with some hardcore.
Into the void (Black Sabbath cover) Into the void (Black Sabbath cover)
An often overlooked song from the Masters of Reality album. Heavy grooves that influenced my writing style since the first time I heard the song back in the 80s.
Snowblind (Black Sabbath cover) Snowblind (Black Sabbath cover)
My version of the immortal Black Sabbaths stony classic, "Snowblind"
wah-wah-what the funk wah-wah-what the funk
Funky groovecore instrumental because i have writers block for lyrics at the moment.
