shapes of things to come by max frost and the troopers.

Walking Deadman

a metal - prog song. I am guilty of this whole endeavor.

the song i dont want to sing

a slow gloomy rock, lost love song. it has some prog. elements in it, a weird one indeed!

I am not a vocalist so please bear with me! everything about this is all of my own undoing, I mean all of my own doing! thanks for the listen!

hanging with the vampires

just a weird instrumental with a metal guitar edge to it. basically played in 3 parts. I thought it held some interesting atmospheres here and there. ;)

upon ambrosia i did dine

lots of different things I tried in this one, mostly in structure and vox, as well as harmony and texture. I guess it is a progressive type song with some gloom.

the intro is a short... (more)

hitchin a ride

vanity fare cover using 23 tracks. as usual, I did everything on this song except write it! :P

draggin the line

just a rough demo, nothing perfect.

you showed me

here is my cover of the turtles covering the byrds with - you showed me. one of the mellower songs i've done in my collection of creations.
i spent many hours on it, there is a harmony blunder... (more)

eighteen

just me doing coopers - 18.

walk away

always liked this song. as a guitarist in the early 80's i played this song a lot in a band i was in. i went for a live sound on this so it would have a sort of an amplifier played live. i am the only one... (more)

in an ungodly hour

some mistakes, like playing live, but i make them right quicky. the song is for halloween and make of the lyrics what you will.

the drums have phaze on them. some of the soft guitars have... (more)

go to hell jack the ripper

this song is based on a rock opera idea i had, but shrunk it down to one song. perhaps someday i will do the whole opera.
it has 3 narrators singing, and one voice as jack. jack voice... (more)

when 2 hearts

this was a song written by a friend neil s. i came across it and thought i could do something with it. i was humming a vocal melodyline immediately, so i went and put it to words. neil is doing all the... (more)

event horizon

a spacey, psyche, wierd prog. song.

tomorrow never knows

yikes, hope i don't disgrace the beatles with this one. i tried to stay to the spirit of the song. obviously i didn't have a sitar and i didn't think i should need to re-create every sound effect... (more)

so many obstacles

the initial riff and in the middle, was an old riff from about 81 that i thought i forgot. luckily it came to me the other day and i finally put it to song. just a weird hard rock prog song i guess?!

my psychedelic funeral 2012

remake of the song i did last yr but with a intro section. didn't turn out as good as i had hoped.

make freedom ring

it was a fun song to do and had different changes of some different musical styles than i've done before. overall im pleased with this songs outcome.
especially since from this point forward... (more)

horror in tears

a slightly gloomy, hard rock, prog song. i think it shows a lot of improvement. as usual i am the one man band for this one.

on some foggy night

this a an original obscurely worded song. it is a sort of spooky, prog, goth, hard rock song. a very rough demo and as usual i am doing everything on the song. thanks for listening!

Pain Of My Misfortune

this is an old obscure cover of the band called - the moving finger. it was released in 1968. i collect obscure music from 60's 70's and this was one of my favs.

where ever you are

its subtley about past women in my life and wondering where a real and true one could be! starts off slow then rocks out a bit. and comes to a sort of bass solo at the end. just something different.

haunted dreams of past lives

an instrumental! i don't know if it is prog. + rock + space rock, or what!?
but the title might sort of explain the journey of the song.
and as usual, i wrote it and play everything on it.

extermination: earth

i wrote this in 81 originally called - battlecry. but i updated it to a sci fi type armageddon story. a video would have went well with this but, maybe some day. all explosions, firepower, helicopter... (more)

wont forget you

a song about an old flame that just won't burn out. it's a ballad of sorts, with a harder ending. i did this in about 7 hours. in the middle section i am playing guitar without a pick for the first time in a recording (big deal hey?)

tales of yesteryear

this was written by myself at age 15 in 1975. never ever did the whole version back in the day, thought i would do it once and for all.

a thousand days of yesterdays (time since come and gone) captain beyond cover

my tribute to a very underrated, underappreciated band. 40 yrs ago thier self titled lp came out, and i cover one from the lp as a tribute on thier 40th anniversary. im not a lead guitarist, and a new singer, so please bear with me on that.

damaged

this was developed from a riff i played in 1981. it's used in the middle part of the song. at beginning and end is about the same riff except slower. it reminds me of some early Budgie. the mixing isn;t great, still learning.

shadows grinning wildly

this is based on an improve from back in jan 75, then guitarist - chris layed this riff out and i never forgot it. it was the first time i was in a band as a bassist. the rest of the riffs are... (more)

Words

remake of the monkees song.

purple mountains - over my cold dead body

this song - purple mountains was iriginally a jam back in 75. chris vaisvil was the guitarist and i always remembered it cause i liked it. he had an echo-plex then and it was... (more)

my psychedelic funeral

a swirling psychedelic instrumental.

locked door to my soul

a song about releasing past pains, or trying to. about learning from the past and trying hard to move on

thinkin bout people

a song about hoping for the best for all of us. the ending riff is about angst and disapointment and i use a flange on the ending lead guitar work. the closing of the song inspired me to make another song called locked door to my soul.

77

summer 77, good times, partying up a storm and met the love of my life. its a slow rock song about remembering and learning to move on.
