story:
it's a little ditty about 2 brothers and a lycanthrope.......

it's loosely based on the original wolfman movie, the one where larry talbot gets bitten by the werewolf, and he see's the pentagram in his hand, and he knows he's fucked, so he goes

to the old gypsy woman to try to be cured, and she basically tells him the only thing for him to do, is to kill himself...... what a bum deal...

anyway, these 2 brothers have been partying all night, drunk as skunks, and one of them staggers out into the moor, and meets his maker.

the remaining brother wants revenge, but is sober enough to figure out that he'd better get some kind of ammunition...
so he goes to see the gypsy-witch, to get some aconite (wolfsbane) and a spell here, and a prayer there, and thinks that he's well prepared, and so he goes out to the moor to get his revenge.

but that's not what he gets......



“The Payment”
Written by Robert F. Gilliland
c1999 Robert F. Gilliland


Nightime, on the moor
drank up all the mead
mist is in the air
full moon, did the deed.

never saw the evil...
that poor ole son of a *****
felt the claws that gripped his throat
yeah, he was dead without a twitch.

"it's your brother down on the moor,
with his head down at his feet!"

drink the aconite, tonight
toast the witches curse
pray to whoever you believe in
to pass over you the worst

it's your brother on the moor,
with his head down at his feet
and the debt has not been paid in full
will you, your maker, meet?

run into the moor
and see the evil eye
upon you, cast a glance,
and the payment, it is nigh.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

new version: "THE PAYMENT"

this one has new rhythm guitar parts (did em last night) that are done on the clean channel of a driven mesa boogie... i used a fulltone fatboost III and a barber tone press, and drove the amp hard.

opened up the sound of the mix quite a bit..
but more midrangy...

I'll bite (pun intended :D )

Not quite my cup of tea, but definitely great guitar work and recording).

Plus it's good to see that someone is geared up for Halloween :twisted:

hey man, thanks for checking it out, i thought it was a dead thread.....


not your cup, and you still took it in!
that's very cool of you.


halloween was great. and besides partying and all that, it's always fun to see the really LITTLE kids getting into it for the 1st time, and it makes me remember back to a simpler time.
glad you dug the tune...
happy after halloween.

and now, after walking thru a couple of stores yesterday, i guess it's officially christmas time.

:roll:

thanks for stopping in, and checking it out.


i've done 3 more recording sessions on this song, since i posted this.

3 more completely different sounding rig setups, i think i finally found the one i like best.
it's more or less in the middle, of all the stuff i tried.
