After listening to it again last week it’s not too bad considering I crushed my thumb. I gave the track a quick brush up and re jigged a few bits. I have the incentive now to record more stuff and improve.

I give you Get A Life!

Recorded with my Ibanez RG565 through a PodXt straight into a PC. All the little solo’s were one takes, thats how I normally work. I Listen to the track then go for it, too scared to try again and fuck it up  :-)  The harmony bits were done by dipping the “wang” bar. Apart from that pretty standard rock stuff.

So any guitarist out there who ever gets a hand or finger injury don’t give up. You may have to re learn things or even change the way you play. It’s worth it.

Anyway on another note I have got together with the talented Clive Murray, Mark Lemon and Vince Webb formerly of The Kalm, to form a metal covers band. Really looking forward to that. It is great to be playing more guitar lateley. I have really missed it. The band is called Panik Atakk..very 8o’s!. No doubt a website will appear with various dodgy entertainment

Laters

This has lead me to believe I am uninteresting and talk a load of bollox……but you knew that anyway

So as of next week i will be ranting everyday about what is currently pissing me off. starting with drivers who indicate after they have turned the corner!. what the fuck is that all about?. I sit there and wait for a gap in the traffic thinking this or that car/van/truck is going to go straight on, then the twat turns then indicates!!. Bad driving and lack of consideration for fellow drivers.

We live in a very self obsessed world at the moment. We need a major holocaust to make people realize how insignificant they are…..yes a bit extreme I know.

Hey ho!

This is what metal is about to me. The Adler brothers are fuckin’ awesome. Tight as a ducks arse! There is definitely a “connection” of sorts when brothers (or sisters ) play in a band together. They sort of second guess what each other is thinking. My brother Stuart (bass) and I used to play in a band together in the 80’s, before we both became “failed rock stars”!. We definitely had that “connection” thing going on. Very scary sometimes. I miss that a lot, but he gave up playing years ago Other brotherly connections:

• The Van Halens
• The Schenkers
• The Amotts ( Arched Enemy )
• The Olivas ( Savatage)
• The Nelsons

Please think of some more…..

Ladies n’ germs,  I present VOLBEAT!

I was never a big Motley Crue fan during the 1980’s, as I was more thrash than glam, but I always liked like thier “don’t give a fuck” attitude, as compared to Ratt or Bon Jovi.This book gives a great insight into the almost, self destruction of bass player/main song writer Nikki Sixx. With comments from Slash, Ross Halfin and many more, it gives the whole book a feeling of actually being thier, going down the spiral of Nikki’s depression and drug taking. Thier is also some really humorous “Rock Star” antics with fellow band mate Tommy Lee, one involving stealing a limo then wrecking it.

Give it a read you will not be disappointed.
