I made it all the way thru the video. I thought it was well done. You reminded my why I like early Sabbath better than later Sabbath. Their early stuff was just better. And you did the song proud. Good job.My entry….
A very long time ago….
The nosy little bastard that I was found an old acoustic guitar, in a closet, at my grandmother’s house. She said that I was welcome to play around with it, if I wanted….it was missing a couple of strings, and I had no idea what I was gonna do with it. I am left handed, it was a right handed guitar, and I was determined. I got set up with some strings, a tuning fork, an old Mel Bay book, and spent a lot of time trying to make sense of this poster:

Like a few others around here, I was more interested in making my own music. But, unlike many of them(probably) I spent a ton of time plodding away at writing some real crap….I couldn’t play AND sing at the same time to save my life, but I had lots of dumb ideas about doing both. I hooked up with a few kind souls that would allow me to contribute the best I could, musically. I got to sing a lot, played bass a little, and after a while I started playing guitar with them…after I got my first electric guitar…a cherry red metallic Memphis Strat copy.
One of them was kind enough to teach me a few things, and I developed an ear as I went along…
The first ”cover songs“ I learned were Black Sabbath’s Electric Funeral and Paranoid, and Blue Öyster Cult’s Burning For You. Man….I sucked….bad. But we all had a darned good time, wrote a few catchy tunes, and butchered some classics together.
This was the first one…
TTR RM Opening Act
Cover of Black Sabbath’s Electric Funeral. Made using Reaper DAW for audio and video. Drums were a free midi file. All other sloppy play was me. Sorry.
I had a ton of fun recording this! I tried to film while recording, but that didn’t work out well…you’ll see if you can stand to watch the whole video. I did everything in Reaper, and only used a few non-stock plugins. (EZ Drummer, an IK 1076 plug across the rendered drum mix, and an IK “The One” across the master bus for rendering…IIRC…oh yeah! an IK tape delay thing in the harmony vocal effects bus…I smashed the snot out of that thing! You can hear it sobbing in the background occasionally) Not much else for anything but some hi-pass and high frequency shelving eq. Mix automation was fairly rudimentary in style.
If you made it through the video…Thank you!

I’m in! Well before the deadline!
P.S. There are photos of the actual recording setups peppered throughout the video…the only one that changed was the full stack’s upper mic…I decided to ditch the Sennheiser 421 for an Audix i5(same placement)… The guitar amp setup was “wet/dry/wet”, using the Laney AOR50 as the master/dry. The effects send went out to the pedal board loop, and split to the effects returns of the Phaez(to the LoPoLine cab), and the Classic 30(with the WGS Green Beret loaded Orange 112 cab being mic’d) Bass was split via DI, the amp was mic’d and the DI pushed clean through a UA6176.
Guitars were 4 tracks per take(4 mic’s). Bass was 3 tracks per take(only one take in play…2 mic’s, and one DI).
The project looks bigger than it actually was.
I hope this post “covers” it all well enough…

The lava lamp(with Godzilla) idea came right from the start, and is the only reason I shot any video at all.
What did you use to take the video from the headstock?
