Cover of the Seeds by former a former Sky Saxon cohort! All new audio in an attempt at a more adequate tribute to my former friend and music mentor.

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 was a guitar tech (and at one time or another, a 'just about everything' tech/mechanic/bodyguard) for The Seeds on the 2007 Goodstock/Monterey Pop tour. We got bumped at Monterey after traveling 2500 miles or so to get there in a slowly dying bus, but after losing our third guitarist in two gigs (!!!) I was tapped to play if we indeed went on. So I sat with Sky and Mike Oak and learned several of the classic Seeds songs from both a Master and longtime Disciple. I originally recorded this song on the day he died, but was in a rush to get it done in a bid to have it out the day-of; the audio just wasn't up to par. So, since I've since come a long way in production and performance ability, I figured it was time to update this properly.
