Blood and tears  Danzig cover  tHeDmdec 2025

A cover of the band Metric. Breathing Underwater. I originally did this song a few years ago & ended up splicing in the lead singer's vocal track because I couldn't sing it by myself very well... so I made it a duet as it were. Now my sister wants to try singing & Metric is a good choice, so I muted out the previous vocal tracks so she could sing to it in her own enviroment and get some practice. The guitars, drums & bass are pretty decent, so it was a quick and easy way to get her something to sing along with! Karaoke by Yelling Fire!

A person I work with is always trying to get me to do a cover of Red Hot Chili Peppers... but I'm not a fan & I have no desire to do it. However, Sublime seemed like a decent trade-off! So I told her I'd do a Sublime cover instead. I picked "Santeria". It's their biggest hit & it was super easy to translate into grunge/punk. An earlier original song I wrote called "A Punk Rock Sorta Love" already reminded me of Santeria, but it is a bit different. For this version I decided to do an all out, fast as fuck at 180 bpms version that just never puts on the brakes once it's past the little intro. I dig it! It's pretty snappy. For guitars I used my Schecter Omen Elite, my Samick JTR "Linda" & my High Performance Ibanez RGA. Bass used was the LTD. The final mix??? I hope so.

Santeria (Sublime Cover 2025)

A new original tune I came up with noodling around. It's very pretty & relaxing... then it gets intense & rocks out for a spell... then goes away quietly. I needed something for an intro to cover up my drum count-in that eventually got silenced, otherwise there would be an awkward 8 seconds of no sound before the guitars intro, so I found some sounds of seagulls w/waves crashing as well as a rising wind that I stretched out/duplicated/reversed the dupe & rammed them together & stretched the audio some with a fade-in & fade-out. So that's the extra noises you hear at the start & at the end. I used my ESP/LTD EC1000 for all guitar parts. Both my Vox Cambridge amp and my Line 6 amp were used w/the Parallax pedal too. The distortion was through the Vox for a change! For bass I used the LTD B-204 ran through the Spark. Enjoy my pretty little song! 3nd mix.

Angellica (2025) 3rd Mix

A friend at work was suggesting some Sublime songs for me to cover & he sent me a link to THIS song.... "Hope" by the Decendents. He didn't realize that the Sublime version was a cover tune, but he said it was one of his favs. I had actually already covered this song some years back, but I figured that I could do a better job of it these days after all the extensive experience I have recording since then. I think it turned out pretty good! I used my Schecter Hellraiser for all guitar parts & the LTD bass. For the drums, I discovered this KILLER Youtube channel called TBR Tracks. This guy has hundreds of drum tracks on there, mostly obscure punk stuff, but there is a variety to surf through. Check it out if you are looking for specific drum tracks!! Enjoy this 2 minute blitzkrieg of fast punk rock!

Hope (Decendents Cover 2025) 1st Mix

Final mix w/vocals. I think I'm pretty happy with how the music turned out! The only guitar I used on this track was my Solar "Telecaster". That guitar is just... fuckin awesome! I don't use it enough because it's tuned down to Drop C along with my Premium Ibanez. But I wanted a song to showcase the Solar & this is it. The vocals... well, it's a pretty tall order me singing THIS song & I'm not too happy with how they are turning out. But there's really nothing I can do about it either. It's simply beyond my talent vocally. Perhaps it will grow on me as time passes? This song... I have to say it is one of my favs by the Deftones & it has been for many years. Pretty much since it 1st came out. The "feel" of it, with the slow guitar notes & the melody they create have always reminded me of the song "Maggot Brain" by Funkadelic. (What's up w/maggots anyways???). You may agree or not, but it can't be denied that this is a beautiful heavy song! Enjoy & listen to the original. Chino's vocals are mesmerizing.

Pink Maggit (Deftones Cover 2025)

A CTE cover tune I've been working on using my new Ibanez AS semi-hollow body guitar. It's a great little song. Definitely more POP than anything... but sometimes I like to play a good pop song. CTE also does a great acoustic version of this song & I used to play that one at parties & late night drinking sessions w/our friends from Germany. Maybe I will do t5he acoustic version sometime as well.

Right Before My Eyes (Cage the Elephant Cover 2025)

I have played guitar since the age of 14 (around 1990 give or take) & I still play to this day... only now instead of playing live or seeking to be in a band, I record my own music at home! I use Audacity software (free!) & basically use a mic to record my guitars, bass & vocals through my various guitar amps. Drums I "program" by downloading tracks from youtube & chopping them up to suit my needs. I write my own music as well as record covers. I'm not a singer & all of my vocals are achieved by doing multiple vocal tracks to create a harmony that is otherwise lacking. Sometimes the results are ok, sometimes it sucks. Either way, making music & taking care of my cats are the 2 main reasons I am on this Earth. I hope you enjoy some of my stuff!
