Guilt Machine (2024 Version)

Robert James

Another re-recorded song. This one was the title cut from an RPM Challenge a couple of years ago. It’s different. I don’t know if I love it, but I like it. I think the goofy panning games I played at the beginning and end are probably mistakes, but otherwise this seems okay.

The rhythm guitars are my Les Paul Standard into a Klon KTR into a Keeley D&M Drive into an MXR Carbon Copy Mini into a Vox AC15. The leads are my Les Paul Custom into a Wren and Cuff Tall Font Russian into the Klon KTR into a Seymour Duncan Vapor Trails into both a Fender Bassbreaker 15 and a Vox MV50, both using their direct outputs.

Verse 1
Helpless victim of my own guilt

Verse 2
no solution for my problems

Chorus
guilt machine
no escaping
cut me clean
self degrading

lock me down
tie my hands tight
make no sound
I will not fight

Verse 3
Self inflicted broken hearted

Chorus
