"The Payment" - a classic horror story re-told
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; he knows he's phucked, so he goes to the old gypsy woman who knows about these things, to find a cure, 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 proceeds to meets his maker.
the remaining brother wants revenge, but has sobered up now, and has figured 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 believes that he's well prepared, and he goes out to the moor to get his revenge.
but that's not what he gets......
“The Payment”
Written by RF 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 b!!tch
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.

heheh, "Aconite".
not easy to sneak into a lyric.....
around here, they call it "Monk's hood".
and it's quite pretty...
but it is also called "Wolf's Bane", which was too obvious for the lyric!
in old times, they used to use this to kill wolves.
it means 'without struggle'
which seems appropriate and somewhat ironic, eh?

I don't know exactly what to say...
I always been a "marshall guy". Now I'm playing mainly the mkII B, but I still love the marshall plexi, which is irreplaceable for some kinds of tone. So, my opinion about mesa is heavly influenced...
The "mesa tone" for me, is the "mark series tone". You can recognize a mark as a distintive type of sounds, not as a distintive sound. They are big, warm, with a lot of sustain and really creamy. But you can achieve a lot of different tones. For me, I really like modern tones that are not so much modern. You have to hear some dirty inside, and some "sgraaan sgraaann" as I like to say....
This is a little vid of my mkIIB. This is, more or less, the tone I like.

eheheh...
I'm pretty sure that's really difficult...even on the biggest stage.
Now I'm playing almost exclusively with the acoustic guitar (hard times for the musicians, here in italy) but, some years ago, I've been out a lot with the plexi, and every night was an hard match with the planner of the show...
