Description:
This is more of a release for me than anything else. Minimal lyrics, maximum guitars. It gets pretty big at around 3:00 mark, so stick it out if ya can. I didn't spend a ton of time on the production on this one so sorry if it's a little imbalanced :)
Lyrics:
I will take this all away
I will take this all the way
Hardware:
Gibson Firebird VII, Fender P-Lyte Bass, M-Audio KeyStudio 49i, Blue Snowball Mic

Let it all out &mdash 06/22/08 - 05:17:15 PM
It's good to just make some serious noise every once in a while, without too much attention to finesse. That Moog (sort of) solo has an uncertain relationship to the key of the piece, but it's all teh more effective for it.
I like the wall-of-sound guitars too. Pretty dense sound.
Impressive.

crank it all the way &mdash 06/22/08 - 05:40:08 PM
i saw the lyrics and expected something else. :) like the slightly stereo bass. and the different but very complimentary gtr parts in the beginning. lightning fast end solo, dood. nice cathartic piece.
vic, i think that moog-esque solo is guitar. nicely chorused up, maybe neck pickup? [ Reply to This ]
&mdash 06/23/08 - 10:54:10 PM
haha no i'm giving up on that piece of work. i'll let rivers ruin it on his own.
thanks - this one was a lot of fun. the second half especially. your latest one is killer btw!

keys &mdash 06/23/08 - 10:57:32 PM
well, the verse soloing is guitar with a touch of chorus. i did add a little piano riff though at around 2:25. It's a little out of place maybe, but I heard it in my head so I had to put it in there :) Thanks for listening and commenting feter. [ Reply to This ]

I just noticed I actually wrote the lyrics out wrong! It's supposed to be
'I WILL take this all away, I WILL take this all the way'. oops! I found the pic online and it accurately represents why this song was written. Thanks for checking this out [ Reply to This ]
Cool! &mdash 06/23/08 - 06:51:32 AM
Cool work my friend, as always great guitar playing and recording too with an amazing drums work. I like it!

Ridd The B-Sides &mdash 06/23/08 - 04:36:06 PM
Dig the start. Taking me back to San Jose mid 1990's........oh that's just a personal thing. This reminds me of my 20's. Great time, I must say. From what I can remember. Maybe that was me on bass, or jamming on guitar.
Leave it. It's AWESOME.
Wow,

YEAH! Kinda scary in a cartoonish sort of way but totally ROCKIN!!!!! Loved it from the get-go. Love the rude bass sound and the irresistibly irreverent lead lines. Oh, and the change up/guitar solo/outro - perfect!
[ Reply to This ]
&mdash 06/23/08 - 11:09:13 PM
hah 'cartoony/scary' sounds about right. 'rude' bass and 'irreverent' as well. man you have a real knack for descriptors! thanks for the comment [ Reply to This ]
Massive &mdash 06/24/08 - 07:37:02 AM
Yep, just let it out. Great big sound. Doesn't need much more than what it's got. Just got to the 3 min mark and worth the wait. Good stuff! [ Reply to This ]

lol - "you've broken the canadian sound barrier" - that's TRUE. And all other sound barriers as far as I can tell. I read the comments and THEN listened - so I knew NOT to wear headphones and to CRANK IT UP! This is great Ridd - primal, primate! [ Reply to This ]

wait.. did you just call me a primate? haha thanks karen. it sounds good in headphones too, but yeah Loud! [ Reply to This ]

Put on the headphones and cranked it! Worth every bit of hearing loss. [ Reply to This ]

whoa &mdash 06/24/08 - 09:35:36 PM
I just can't get enough of that bass. It just drives the crap out of this tune. Who cares if it's a little imbalanced, it gets the point across.
Nice thick sound and great solos when everything slows down.
Don't know why but I keep thinking of Suicidal Tendencies when I hear the soloing start at 3:00
Great release.

&mdash 07/09/08 - 12:29:15 PM
thanks nick. really glad you liked it. I LOVE your new one. Evokes early early Nirvana for me.
Funny that you hear ST. I hear Tool and Soundgarden myself. I do like that band though so thanks!
Oh - I'm gotta put vox on our next collab very soon. I'll send you something when I do [ Reply to This ]
well &mdash 08/22/08 - 09:06:35 PM
I don't really hear the Tool/Soundgarden that much. The rhythm guitar riff that kicks in at about the 2/3rd mark in the sound does have a bit of that dark/dread Adam Jones sound, but the soloing is way over the top compared to both of those bands. Thayil never ventured out into soloing as a dynamic and driving force that way you portray it here, and Adam Jones only really uses guitar solos as almost a second melodic instrument juxtaposed against Maynard's (SCARY GOOD) vocals.
That said, great piece. Typically I'm not really a big fan of songs that are really a vehicle for extended guitar solos, but I feel like you took the playing to some really interesting places. There is a lot of "tension" in your turnarounds and phrasings. lot of notes that kinda sound wrong, but aren't, if ya know what I mean.

i have it cranked up insanely loud and it's working for me. great wall of fuzz you've got here. it's like seeing Mudhoney live. Nice drum fill at the end, some serious ass kicking catharsis here. Love it. [ Reply to This ]

Love the big gritty dense sound you get!
Nice bridge at around 3:00.
Good use of the wah pedal!
This song is probably a little too Rawkin' for some of the older MJ crowd, but I hope you do more loud raw stuff.
Cheers. [ Reply to This ]
yep &mdash 07/09/08 - 12:33:21 PM
more loud and raw to come. i'm feeling the need for another release already. thanks for the comments dragonas [ Reply to This ]
Atonal &mdash 06/26/08 - 11:56:59 PM
R,
Love the balls-to-the-wall atonality of the lead. Rockin distorted bass! As recommended I stuck it out way past 3:00 and was so glad I did. I'm loving the roughness that is starting to emerge from a lot of recent posts. A real departure from the myriad over-produced finicky fuss-fests (myself being completely guity of coarse). This has guts, and I feel it way down.

&mdash 07/09/08 - 12:36:18 PM
thanks phil. yeah you know, i just recently finished my record and even though im super proud of it and i absolutely love it, i needed to take a break from the pickyness of producing and just lay a few tracks down and not be so anal about them - not only in the production but the instrumentation and lyrics/vocals as well. feels good! glad you feel it in yer gut!
