here is a cover of status quo's - pictures of matchstick men from 68. chris vaisvil got a new 12 string, did 2 tracks on the 12-er and asked me to do some. I did the rest, always glad to do a psyche rock song!
ok, dam! this is a long one at 12:18, mostly cause it is 2 songs. took all day to get a decent mix and I am stopping here now. slow and some nice chords and a metal middle.
for naught - is an 8:45 song, about a poor schmuck who just never seems…
this was off their first lp "heavy". a very unique guitarist, who was replaced by the time the inna-gadda-da-vida lp came out a yr later.
this guy was incredible, and to me this is probably the first metal song, from 1967. always loved this…

here is a song from 72, by bread, that I always wanted to make a harder rock version of. an idea I have had since the early 70's. this was one of the rockin' songs by bread who did a lot of mellow love songs. there is something fun about turning…
shapes of things to come by max frost and the troopers.
a song from 1968, also the song track title of the movie "wild in the streets". Richard Pryor's first movie role. a short song timing out at 2:08. I did most of this yesterday and the drums…

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 bass thing with effects called nectar, its like 25 sec.s…

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 very briefly, about half way through but other than…
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 to blame for this song, as i did it all…
chris. in this one i used no fuzz no distortion, i had considered it but i didnt want it too heavy. i used amplifier vsts. and brought down the distortion and pre amp, etc. even for the leads. if i used my fuzzes and distrotion vsts, it would have been heavy heavy heavy! i wanted it closer to what cooper was doing.

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 phaze and flange. the beginning 2 1/2 mins are slow…
one of my fav moody's songs.
it would have turned out far better if i had a melotron. (i wish!) this is an ecological song.
i had it running in my head for the last week, and so much so it was also playing in a dream i had,
so i figured it…

actually this is early 76. prob about late may. i recall cause we just got steve in the band, and already he was talking to mohsen about kicking me out of the band. go figure!
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?)

Apocrypha is a progressive rock song in the sense of Rush more than ELP or Yes. I had come up with the guitar and via my GR-20 the strings - everything else you hear was performed by my long time collaborator Frank Miller (Phantasm777) - so that…
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 mine and everything else disastrous done in this song…
thanks, i think you mean the key solo, i decided not to try thier solo and do my own almost inna godda da vita, type keys. also in the second go round of vocals, i made the guitar chord play backwards for the background.
With Frank Miller on drums and bass as the band "2" - a rescue of a late 90's song grabbed from 4-track.
No Place
I'm lost, you're lost
Ships at sea
There is no place
We can be
I'm lost, you're lost
In this world
There is no…
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.
thanks, thats a flange, i have come to see how both cn be similair yet completely different as well, cool effects to have, flange and pahse, among others.

Great fun! I always loved this tune!
Great rendition! I love this song!
chris. in this one i used no fuzz no distortion, i had considered it but i didnt want it too heavy. i used amplifier vsts. and brought down the distortion and pre amp, etc. even for the leads. if i used my fuzzes and distrotion vsts, it would have been heavy heavy heavy! i wanted it closer to what cooper was doing.

thanks for the listen!
thanks chris, do you mean my bass playing is getting closer to how I played back then? I really want to get those skills back! slowly but surely!
the wizard would be kinda hard with no harmonica.

it was fun and surprising. it turned out better than i had hoped.

actually it was finger strumming rather than picking
do you mean the middle - blues part? thanks.
no the middle jazzy part is
i think this went well, but then, i am a bit partial! :)
