Sins of the Father

Energy Tank

Little bit of an old school cover.  I probably started playing and singing this arrangement back in like 2006, 2007 but never got around to recording anything but demos or pieces of it.  The chords are from the Johnny Cash version but I keep the lyrics from the NIN Original.  The strumming pattern and delivery are my own arrangement, aswell as the format of the final chorus and the solo I play in the middle which is just changing inversions of the chords I'm playing.  

This is the first thing with my singing I've ever posted on the internet.  I realize my voice isn't the best but I do work on it.  Haven't done too much exercising with it as of late however, so it's a bit shaky at parts, but it adds a rawness to this performance that I feel heightens the delivery.  



Hurt (NIN Cover)

After recording hurt I felt a little bit more in me to record, this is a song I've been toying around with as of late during warmups, it's my absolute favorite Ozzy-era Sabbath tune, despite the fact that Die killed his performance completely on the Black and Blue live video.  It's one of their best, most compelling lyrical songs and if you deliver it right can be down right spooky.

This is a bit more uptempo than the usual Zakk Wylde performances and I just riff around a bit (trying to keep the low E involved just to keep the tune moving), but it gets a bit sloppy with my left hand, I'm not much of an acoustic player.  

Still, it's nice to output some stuff once and awhile.
