Made A Demo For 'The Ripper."

Singer asked for a rehearsal track for this song, so I based it off a drum track ny colleague recorded and i added the guitars layer by layer. I didn't spend too much time on this and I haven't taken the time to really learn Glenn's solo, so instead, I just threw a one-take improv solo in to complete the song....

There's quite a few errors in these tracks - the doubled parts are not played exactly the same and the picking cadence is off on some parts, but this is a lot like it sounded when we had two guitarists playing it together live, so I didn't perform any overdubs. It's 100% 'As-Is.'

All hear my warning!!

Sounds f'in awesome, Robert!
Love That Record!!!

SWOD is going back in the commute study time slot at 4:31 EST!!
 
I doubled the rhytms, but the cadence is off, so i may delete one rhythm tracks and electronically duplicate it, plus get a decent solo...

Well done Robert, the only thing I would change is the amount of gain, that’s it , excellent rendition of a well known song.
I give you guys a big thumbs up, hope you’re on the track for another new bassist.
Would hate to see the talent go separate ways at this point.
Cheers Mitch

Geez!!!! That's only half as much gain as I usually run!!!! LOL!!!
 
Great to see that the ad is up
seams as if you jump one hurdle towards progress, another shows it ugly mug.
Cheers Mitch
 
Your lead tone is spot on, but if ya listen to the studio recording, the guitars are not as gainey, more like my origin tones, not saying it’s bad bye any means just saying.
;) :2Thumbs::H5:

I'm notoriously heavy, but my Marshall tone isn't as gainy, but I don't have a good SM-57 at the moment...However, I believe that you are correct. I may intentionally de-gain and re-track tonight. Jim needed a rehearsal track on a "right now" basis, so I blew it our this morning before the rest of the crew showed up.

that would of been jmp on that if i remember correctly.

Good catch...here's what Glenn said in a recent interview:

"I have almost exclusively used Marshall amps, but now I also use ENGL amps for stage work. I used Regular Vintage 50 and 100 Watt Marshall heads, without a master volume until 1982, when the JCM 800 head was developed. I then used the JCM 800 with Rocktron pre amps as well. Currently I use one of three or four racks which include ENGL pre and power amps, Marshall 9100 poweramps and cabs with the addition ENGL backless cabs...."

Pete Cornish built K.K. Downing's custom pedalboard in 1980:

Pete said, "I made these in October 1980 so they would have been used on the 1982 recording of Screaming For Vengeance.

The effects in the boards are as follows:

> PC [Pete Cornish] Input Isolator
> TB-83 (the original Pete Cornish Treble Boost)
> SS-2 (Cornish boost/OD)
> NG-2 (fuzz)
> Variable tone boost dual voltage 9/18 VDC, “an unreal EQ boost/shimmering pedal”
> ST-2 (gain/boost with Bass/Treble EQ)
> MXR Phase 100
> MXR Flanger
> MXR Analog Delay
> Echoplex EP3 Send/Return
> MXR 10-band EQ
> NB-2 (Linear Boost)
> Mute
> Four isolated outputs to 50w Marshall heads
> D.I. to PA.

My DSL's really seem to do everything well....IMHO.
totally agree !! I just have to censor myself....the DSL has such sustain & crunches so well..i just palm mute & cant stop from getting progressively heavier..If i had male singer,would prob still be on DSL & SLX...have that cab with gt75 & vintage30 in X pattern from late 80's England ones...man what a rock rig...
