"I am the one".


I wrote the song and played the guitars and bass. I also did the drums although they're really simplistic since I don't have the skill or software to do better ones. Yet!

The guitar was my KE3 with DK2 neck. Duncan Distortion bridge and neck pickups.

The vocals, and lyrics, were done by some of the guys on Ripper's official forum.
The whole idea behind the song was to do something in Tim's style (heavy modern, American metal!), with his style of vocals.

It's still at the demo stage, as the lead vocalist is redoing the vocals to sort out the clipping and I'm hoping to get some better drums for it, but I'd like to know what you guys think of it as it is.

The singer is awesome IMO - it doesn't quite show here because there's a lot of clipping, but you can hear his power and range (it was "Myke Havoc" from my myspace friends if you want to check out his other stuff). There's backing vocals from a couple of other guys on Tim's forum too, and they were really good singers too IMO. It's funny to hear people sing without music in the background, you really start to appreciate how good someone can sing when you hear it like that.

Please comment on Myspace, I only recently joined and need some comments.

Feel free to listen and comment on my other stuff BTW, "Floating" is the one song I've written that I would LOVE to do with a band, live.

Did you have a listen Grump? It's heavier than Yngwie if nothing else... :lol: Tim's promised to have a listen to it, so I hope he gets some enjoyment from it.
 
Re: Ripper Owens tribute. Heavy metal!

Ha ha, no! :lol:

I just wanted to write a song in Ripper's style and the guys on his forum thought it was a good idea, so I came up with a riff and developed it from there until we got to a stage where the guys could send me their vocal tracks.
I know it's not perfect, but I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out given we're all amateurs.


Thanks ED! ;)

i really like the kinda breakdown/interlude part in the middle or about 2/3 through. whole thing is very cool
 
Re: Ripper Owens tribute. Heavy metal!

Thanks mate.

If anyone can do me some better drum sounds for this, PLEASE, PM me.
 
Re: Ripper Owens tribute. Heavy metal!

Nice track!

All you'd have to do to those drums is eq them a bit brighter and they'd sit in the mix better. Nice lead work.
