When things work well enough for guitar playing, it doesn't matter what else doesn't work ... you're cured or, more specifically, I am.
Today's effort wasn't recorded as I wanted to solve a problem with the keyboard and bass overheating the amplifiers by overdriving them. The problem isn't entirely solved but it's much improved and it will take abuse as the Power Chord voice is like ten thousand chainsaw guitars at once, it's an absolutely beastly voice ... but it's a riot playing with it.
The synth voice didn't overdrive it but the bass did even though it's not sending a distorted sound. The trick isn't to watch the lights and look for clipping as that won't reveal it and the only way with this kit is through deduction. That's working but it needs a little bit more revision for the bass.
Then the thinking is, well, there is a loop running with a bass and synth chords so let's hear some guitar.
The bit is at 80 bpm and would be a classical Hall of the Devil King if I had any talent but we aren't particularly looking for any Devil King and the rising of the dead is what we would prefer to avoid in "The End of the World in Fort Worth."
At 120 bpm you're at a natural easy pace. At 160 bpm you're seriously shakin' it and at 180 bpm you're going to sweat. But why not just get double kick drums and punch the audience in the face.
The slower beat isn't because it's easier when you're older as that's not true, it isn't easier. To my taste, it's often more eloquent and that's what I want ... except without the Devil King, he's not necessary for this.
Besides, it's important to be careful with waking the dead just now as Fort Worth got hit by some huge lightning strikes last night and several places burned from the hits. There was so much electricity pumped into the ground last night the undead will be scratching their way to the surface any minute now. They're probably just waiting for the cover of night.
If this is the last communication, at least you will know what happened. Remember before you come: you can't kill them because they're already dead.
