Rich Toledo - drums - & keys on Evolution & Gotcha : Andy Catt - bass on Freeloder, Hold Everything & Possible : Cameron Haulsey helped out on some of the engineering & I did everything else.
If they sold F35 fighter jets on TV this would be the music for that. (in my mind) VH club days was the intention here. Still in the park but I think we hit the wall...
Originally another keyboard tune from Rich. I had a very hard time making this my own but I eventually did. Rich's main part has remained on the bass line and I rewrote all the guitar parts... I was going for a part that felt like the overdub part from " Hear About It Later " in the main section. I feel like I achieved that & it's obvious where those sections are. This is a flange happy tune with a cool outro as well...
I always hear " Jamie's Cryin' " from people about this. Yeah I know BUT it's the guitar overdub part ONLY that has that. Listen close, what your really hearing is " Christine Sixteen "... Where do you think " Jamie's Cryin' " came from???????
this track sounded so huge when we played it live in the studio I couldn't believe it and the parts are really fun to play. Cool chords with a nice dark " Fair Warning " feel... Also this was a very hard song to name. Both Rich & I tried for days to name this sucka. I ended up taking my friend's old band name. I love it. & he's cool with it...
I love the intro ( fair warning ), I love the outro ( 1984 - maybe even OU812 cuz of the racket ball court verb on the lead out) I also dig the bridge parts (really cool chords, thanks Terry Kilgore) .
Rich came up with the main riff and idea for this one & I did the pre chorus's and the bridge section. Obviously a VH1 RWD rhythm pump with a VHII guitar vibe.
( I think )
first tune we wrote together. This was mostly Rich's idea. He wrote it on keys. I again wrote the chorus's and the outro primarily. This tune has always felt soft to us & I had a hard time trying to get a Ed feel with it. It just felt like Sammy era ( nothing wrong with that ) but I couldn't lock into a solid feel and find my parts in the verses. It has some cool parts but a rewrite is in order at some point...
I wrote & played most all the music ( not the songs ) for this really cool collaborative record. Just click the above image to hear and or purchase... ( it is nothing like the VHesq material )
