Description:
Keeping with tradition........ It is merely a track I've been working on with very limited computer resources! Just guitars and drums for now (EzDrummer) albeit, the intro was done in Reason using my MK-249C. I have a dual 1.2 GHz CPU due on the 27th, needless to say, I'm pretty stoked!!! I can't wait to dive back in and finish a menagerie of solid beds I have made in the past 8 months! This is only a concept, so leave me some skin (};-P)
Lyrics:
Directly!
Hardware:
Ibanstien guitar, MK-249C, Pocket Pod, FastTrack USB and my old G4.
Software:
Logic Express and Reason.

Thanks Feter, Most appreciated! I believe I'm way overdue for a visit to your pad my friend..... Have you any rum free eggnog over there? Be expecting me.

Hey! &mdash 12/24/07 - 10:55:34 AM
A new track from you! I like the riffs a lot. This should be a killer tune when you get this finished up. (not that it's not good as is, :P) [ Reply to This ]
Hey.... Big (M) &mdash 12/24/07 - 11:00:38 AM
Thanks for the kind words brother. I apologize for being so out of it lately! I've got a new processor coming Thursday! Yeehaw.... can't wait. I'll be by for a listen.

So much &mdash 12/24/07 - 11:33:58 AM
power going on here... just so full of energy. The guitar sounds you've got are great (has a sort of violin sound in parts just coming up for the end). I wondered where you'd got to lately and now I know, can't wait for your 'golden tones' to be added and it'll sound terrific. If the others are as good as this you have quite a repertoire, regards M and a very Merry Christmas to you. [ Reply to This ]
Maurice my friend! &mdash 12/24/07 - 12:51:34 PM
Thank you so very much. Your opinion means a great deal to me! Yes.... I think I've got another diamond in the rough here. I'm getting a dual 1.2 GHz CPU for my weathered old G4 on the 27th, so the grinder will indeed be back with a fervor! Happy Holidays to you brother.

Good build-up &mdash 12/24/07 - 03:41:57 PM
I really like the intro that you stuck on this track. The guitar work is good and thick sounding, but without that intro it would have been yet another metal song.
Kudos for some quite welcome creativity in the screaming guitars genre.

Thanks Vic! &mdash 12/24/07 - 04:32:35 PM
Yeah, I was just messing around in Reason with my keyboard, found some cool voices and just started playing with the old jog wheel. The rest just sort of fell into place. Reason is an awesome program for spawning new ideas! this is the second song I've built just by messing around and exploring different concepts. Music is the sh*t man! Merry Christmas my friend.

Jog wheel? &mdash 12/24/07 - 04:41:18 PM
Correction: That would be pitch wheel! just had to let you know eyes paying attention (};-P) [ Reply to This ]
Great introduction &mdash 12/25/07 - 12:22:52 AM
and a nice surprise when the drums and guitar kick in. The guitar is great - dirty but melodic, a killer combination. I love the riffing on the break - kind of makes me think of a combination of Brian May and Mick Ronson circa Man Who Sold The World. Nice one. I can't wait to hear how this one develops. Hope you have a Merry Christmas and peaceful, creative New Year. Peace. [ Reply to This ]
Thanks brother! &mdash 12/26/07 - 09:53:39 PM
I appreciate you stopping by and for your awesome comment! I've been wee scarce lately. Hope you had a Merry one.
Ax [ Reply to This ]
:-) You Made My X-mas This Morning! :-) &mdash 12/25/07 - 08:12:00 AM
Merry Christmas, dear friend. Glad you're back! Awesome work! :-) Rock On, Ax!!! :-)

Thanks Carole! &mdash 12/26/07 - 09:58:07 PM
I hope you had a grand Christmas. Sorry I've been so flaky as of late! (Like since we first met!!!) I think I've got a good start here? I appreciate you topping by my dear.
Ax [ Reply to This ]
nice one Ax &mdash 12/25/07 - 09:27:04 PM
the electronic section was great. plus there is some killer harmony riffs on the metal side. niiice!!
Good to see a post BTW and will be interested on how this turns out. [ Reply to This ]
Sorry for the late reply bro! &mdash 12/29/07 - 08:28:46 PM
Thanks Vic, Unfortunately I didn't make a clone of my hard drive on my back up and lost the Logic file and all I have is the mp3/mp4 files! @!#$%&* I don't know if I can redo that intro? Or build the same drum track? I just upgraded to a 1.2 GHz CPU and installed Leopard! Needless to say, I have lots of work to do. Thanks for the comment my friend. You'll be seeing a clot more of me now! (Didn't mean to scare you!)
Ax [ Reply to This ]
CLOT? &mdash 12/29/07 - 08:30:59 PM
Metal! &mdash 12/26/07 - 02:06:36 PM
Rock on Ax!
Man, this is really heavy and cool. I agree with everyone here that the intro was really a great idea. I can see the live show with the fog billowing over our heads and the lasers and the you with giant lumberjack boots (Think Elton John in Tommy) shredding the skin off our faces.
Brilliant new stuff man. Glad to get to know you this year and look forward to what you dole out with the new gear.
I hope 2008 is a very Happy New Year for you.
Your pal,
Bob [ Reply to This ]
Thanks 5 extra, brother! &mdash 12/26/07 - 09:41:21 PM
It mean.... Thank you 5 times, 6 in layman terms! I don't know about "Brilliant" I wouldn't say that I am "B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T!!! or anything like that (};-P) But I concur that it is a wee different than the mainstream! I just hear this s*it in my head and attempt to lay it down to sound half good enough for people to have the ability to stand to listen to it! Lol. Or something like that!
Ax [ Reply to This ]
cool &mdash 12/26/07 - 06:49:53 PM
that intro is a perfect way to kick things off and love all of the harmony riff-age. that's great your getting a new set-up, should make things much more pleasurable for you. is this going to be an instrumental piece, or will you lay vox on it? correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't you post something else with you singing (and it was good)? [ Reply to This ]
OK, Michael2 &mdash 12/26/07 - 09:49:44 PM
I get it! Yes..... I plan to toss some VOX salad over this without crouton torpedos ..... Those are very bad indeed! Thank you for your words of kindness. This should be an exciting year!
Ax [ Reply to This ]
nice... &mdash 12/28/07 - 07:24:41 AM
electronic people singing to the sound of rock'n'roll... Great job... Some sort of Korn's latest... [ Reply to This ]
Hey, thanks Craft! &mdash 12/28/07 - 04:30:56 PM
I guess if you made a comparison to Korn, It can't be all that bad (};-P) I appreciate you stopping buy and I hope you had a Merry Christmas! Now we have 2008 staring us smack in the face! Have a good one of those too bro,
Ax [ Reply to This ]
right then brother &mdash 12/29/07 - 09:33:46 PM
It was nice to climb back up into...... &mdash 12/30/07 - 01:16:06 AM
the saddle brother! I have a lot more computer now, so I should be able to actually utilize the power of logic instead of crashing all the time. I don't know how I pulled that last one off? Anyhow, thanks for your comment and have a Happy New Year.
Ax [ Reply to This ]
Solid rock... &mdash 01/05/08 - 12:19:37 AM
......to build on. Will be fun to hear it's evolution. Like the ending guitars. [ Reply to This ]
Thanks Bob! &mdash 01/05/08 - 09:48:19 PM
I'm glad you like what I've got going on here. of course the more I listen to it, the more crappy it sounds (};-P) The next installment shall hopefully prove to be much more precise! I have over twice the power at my command now (Major CPU/RAM upgrade) And I'm running leopard and just installed Logic 8...... Pretty awesome, but a bit CPU hungry! I appreciate your stopping by for a listen and your kind words.
Ax [ Reply to This ]
Yeah &mdash 01/05/08 - 08:41:30 AM
When this is all wrapped up it'll be the final track on your CD: that big, driving number that leaves 'em wanting more.......
Great beginning on this, and your interweaved, harmony guitar lines are killer.
Well done, and I'm very glad I stopped by. [ Reply to This ]
Right on SJ! &mdash 01/07/08 - 05:01:00 PM
I appreciate your comments! I think this may be worth some research and development! Thanks for stoppin in for a listen brother.
Ax [ Reply to This ]
Cool!! &mdash 01/11/08 - 03:51:55 AM
Sorry for the late comment, but I kinda been under the weather for a while.
This is sweet brother. I love the classical influenced change in the end. It reminds me of Yngwie. I can't wait to here what you do next. Awesome my brother. Keep up the good work.
[ Reply to This ]
Well then...... &mdash 01/11/08 - 05:51:15 PM
if you like it..... it can't be all that bad! (};-P) Just a basement to build on, although I have to completely rebuild it from scratch cause I lost the files during my upgrade. I should have done a "clone backup" What a B-I-O-T-C-H man! Oh well, perhaps the next version will actually be good? Anyway, thanks for stoppin and for the uplifting praise you left.
Ax [ Reply to This ]
Hello again &mdash 01/11/08 - 09:19:30 AM
Remembered seeing around. Like what you did with the intro, then into the nice crunchy guitars.
Impressive stuff.
Nice to see you again.
Dave [ Reply to This ]
I'm glad you liked! &mdash 01/11/08 - 05:56:19 PM
I appreciate your drppin in for an earful! I realize I've been a we scarce as of late. I plan to be a lot more active this season! Damn, I'll be riding up on a year by spring. Where does the time go? If only I could be as active as that first few months!!! although, I have me some new toys this year........

Love the electronica &mdash 01/12/08 - 03:47:07 AM
Thanks! &mdash 01/12/08 - 10:41:07 AM
I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's one of those... "just sort of happened" kind of songs but I have lots of work to do here! I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Ax [ Reply to This ]
Awesome ax! &mdash 01/21/08 - 05:58:49 AM
This song feels metallic. No, I mean literally. . .lol-- I don't mean "metal" in the rock sense--that opening sounds like bending, grinding, STEEL. Totally kickass!
Guitar work is amazing. [ Reply to This ]
Hey Admiral, &mdash 01/22/08 - 03:17:44 AM
flattery will get you everywhere! (};-P) don't go and take that the wrong way now, lol! you are much to kind my friend, although I concur with your metallic synopsis. Anyhow, thank you very much and for stopping in for an ear full! I'm heading over to your place to return the favor here shortly.
Ax [ Reply to This ]
damn sure grinding it! &mdash 02/05/08 - 12:29:53 AM
Killer tone on the guitar and no telling how far the tune is going to go. Love to hear it when you layer it up some more. Huge power!!! [ Reply to This ]
Hey there Alan.... &mdash 02/05/08 - 02:38:33 AM
I'll take that as a compliment brother, thank you..... I appreciate you stopping by for a listen! Sure got a lot of stuff I need to do to it, that's for sure! but it is coming along. Best to you man!
Ax [ Reply to This ]

It's so cool to be back.... I have a hard time to listen on all good songs.
