REBASTARD FOR 2010!! The original recording on June 25th, 2009 (the day Sky Saxon died) was uploaded before I learned how to master my recordings. Still the original audio from that day, and still done by someone who actually played the song with Sky

Mettaya = Nirvana X Metallica / Black Sabbath
Mettaya is all about new music from familiar origins. While the ingredients are common, it's the care in their proportion and seasoning that makes the dish so tasty. Heavy metal used to it's highest purpose, no pun intended. A rethinking of what heavy music is, was, and could be, daring to tread where few 'heavy' musicians would even be caught dead thinking about. Mettaya is the 'heavy' sister band to Radiosmack, also Dan fronted and lead, the no-holds-barred counterpoint to the 'lighter' (ish) Rock/Traditional sounds of that band. You may just like both!

Story behind the song
I actually got to play this song with Sky back in 2007 at the very end of the Goodstock/Montery Pop Festival summer tour. For awhile I was invited to be Sky's rhythm guitarist but ended up relocating to New Orleans for awhile instead. It was a hard offer to turn down but Sky inspired me to work on my own music and get over the last hump to being really ready to strut my stuff. I'm still writing a book trying to describe the experience.
Lyrics
Song lyrics are the original lyrics from the 1966 version, and while it didn't have room in the credits box, I want to be clear that my arrangement is a hacked up version of the original and I in no way take any real credit for it's creation, just the style in which it's done.
