The community needs 1:00 of Judas Priesty tones from both you and @Robert Herndon inside 3 days. WARNING: Your non-rock 'n roller excuse-makings are putting your ITP score at risk, so you might be dropped out of the top five naturally! ... We need to judge apples against apples.
If that song is too difficult, we can do House of the Rising Sun instead.

Judas Preisty Tones???

Hmmmmm...

I don't think I have any JP covers here. We did record a couple with our old band. Let me see what I can find in the archives.

Until then, I submit to you this burnt offering of our cover of War Pigs, with me singing and playing all guitars and bass.....

So let it be written, so let it be done.

I dug back into my old recovered files, from the 2019 harddrive crash and found a dusty old gem. On November 2, 2019, about 2 weeks before my PC crashed, our singer - James Welte - approached me about recording a demo of Judas Priest's 'Breakin The Law.'

Our band - at the time - had some internal conflict between members, both from a personality and a musical direction standpoint, so we couldn't really get the band's cooperation on this project. These internal conflicts would be the undoing of this band (in December of 2019) when two members started a coup to overthrow Jim and take control of the band. They did not realize, when they spoke to me about jumping ship, that I was actually the silent bandleader. The band split and and I would be recruited to join Soloman Grundy as soon as news of my departure got out.

I phoned my drummer colleague in Hollywood and he knocked out a drum track and Dropboxed the file. I then laid down the bass and rhythm guitars. When Jim came over that evening, he sang the lead vocals and I sang the backing vocal sections.

I added short solo where it always sounded like - to my head - that one was needed.

Here's my humble submission, based on @TVvoodoo 's request:

Interesting. I thought I would comment on this point, only because it created a parallel for me.

I've never really "loved" my live tone, but found it adequate/appropriate for the task at hand. I think I may be more wrapped up in putting on a show than delivering a fantastically technical performance.

For some reason, when I sit down on that studio stool and you put the headphones on me, all the noise in my head stops and I suddenly have a razor-sharp focus that I don't seem to have any other time.

It's like things begin to make sense - musically - on an entirely different level.

Dude…. That was awesome!!!

Spurred on by an @Ramo suggestion…. Been trying to figure out a way to dirty up Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Haven’t figured that one out yet.

Thanks!

You can try what I did here.
Figure out what chords / notes are in the original and give it more grit, up the tempo a little maybe give it a little octive change if it fits.
I plan on trying to do the harmonica parts of this song as a guitar lead

Dime the gain, add some mids, and palm mute chug the whole thing!

I’ve tried some of that. Chords are easy. Only 4 and they repeat ad nauseam for the 6 or 7 minutes worth of the song. Somehow, trying to dirty up Gordon Lightfoot just doesn’t come off the same way as doing a NY tune dirty. But I’m still working on it. Maybe someday.

Although a group called Headstones has done a decent job. YouTube search it. It’s pretty good.

I think the show aspect and drummer and volume allows me to firstly set up the amp the way I want and I rarely play at home with amps turned up.
Secondly in terms of guitar performance and playing, I get an adrenaline rush that shows in my playing that I cannot get sitting at home on a stool.
It's just how i do, I guess.
 
This is really all anyone needs:

Note how the noise gate is at the very front so as not to taint any of the exponential gain staging with unwanted noise.
