  • Audition Solo

    This was recorded using a POD straight into the computer with a parts mutt strat. The rhythm is a download I found somewhere on the internet…I only played the solo over top of it. This was originally recorded as an audition for Icarus Witch, a Pittsburgh based metal band. They said they loved it but I was late in getting it to them and they had already hired another guitarist.
    Check it out.

    Holy crap that was great!

    I love it when players grab the vibe with bends and shitloads of vibrato! So much better than just shredding your head off every second of the solo!

    This rocked! [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
    You took too much, man. Too much. Too much.

      very nice, the backing music sounds Dokken-ish as does some of your lead work especially around 1:25

            DUDE, John and I know their ex-guitarist Greg..

            cool man...yes, I hear some Dokken/Lynch inluences..which would have fit nicely in that band...I got their EP..The Alice Cooper cover was the best song on it..and I'm not one for "covers"..

            I met the guys at BW & BK....nice guys.

            Pssssst..Greg isn't in the band anymore...and your playing smokes his. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

            Actually he got mad at me I think..he wrote their song Dragon Rider..which inspired my whole "Dragon Humper" thing.. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

              It sucks I'm not in Pittsburgh anymore or I'd contact them again...Denver would be one hell of a commute. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
              Lynch was definitely a big influence on me back in the 80's and it comes out when I improvise over a progression like that.

                Nice clip Rupe, some cool guitar playing goin on there.

                I was in Pittsburgh for a while around 86 or so and that place sucked for original music, espically anything metal. I could score all the jazz and top 40 gigs that I could handle if i wanted to tho [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

                          Shawn...Pittsburgh still sucks for original music. There were a few cool clubs that no longer exist (Decade, Someplace Else) but you're right, it was covers or starve.

                          Thanks everyone for the comments.
