Sleigher- 2 new xmas travesties this year

[ex-250]

So these aren't quite finished, but if I don't put them up now I'll never get them up before xmas. Gonna be away from home for a few days and such. "Bloody" lacks a couple overdubs in the chorus I want to add later, and DankStar is supposed to add the solo on "Coal" if he gets time (which isn't likely as he was recording a song of his own that I was going to add vocals to, but didn't finish it yet). Anyhow...

Coal In Your Sock (Hole In The Sky)

The ****tier of the two, I think. Was going for a ratty raw fuzz tone. Turned out a little too much so. Tis my Big Muff. Hiwatt PODxt model. V30 cab model I think.



Christmas Bloody Christmas (Sabbath Bloody Sabbath)
http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=11312336

This one turned out far better. Nicer tone, sits better in the mix, and more spirit to the vocals (I did these first thing in the morning, it took the first song to warm me up). 5150 PODxt model, forget which cab.


Both songs are entirely LTD Viper w/ Invader in parallel and Mean 90, as well as SX 5-string Jazz bass.




PLEASE forgive the overall sound, these were recorded/mixed on earbuds. Also they're both pretty similar lyrically. I wrote both with the intention of choosing one to record, but playing Sabbath songs is just too much goddamn fun so I wanted to play both.

I'll be away from home though, away from my recording gear. So I won't be able to add vocals.

If you do the Coal solo though, just email me a mix of the whole song with your solo included and I'll update the Soundclick link.

sorry for the delay! (no pun intended, the solo has delay too)

here's a version with the solos overlain (I can send you individual solo files if you like) - from about 2:35-:310 as in the original tune.

I'm not known for playing in key very well, hehe.

Nice! Having 2 lead parts doing slightly different things is an appropriately Iommi thing to do, fits very well I think.
