RIFF RAFF/STORMY MONDAY do "kimono rock" *updated*

Put on your bell-bottoms, fedora, and kimono for this bit of retro-rock/proto metal. Fans of VERY old Priest, Uriah Heep, old Rush, etc will understand this song a bit more than modern rock/metal guys. Sorry, no vox yet.

HIGER GAIN guitars are bridge Riff Raff in an Agile AL-2800.
LOWER GAIN and EBOW guitars are neck Stormy Monday wired in parallel, same guitar.

this is *exactly* my taste in metal tone... damn!  :twisted:

edit: listened a couple of times now - its a real man's tone, no doubt about it. riff raff FTW! wish my riff raff loaded V wasn't locked up in a storage locker.

Oh yes! I understand...

I've been fretting about what to put in a new Explorer (see http://www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12040).

Now I know I have to swap the Riff Raffs out of my SG to give them a try... and if it works, the SG might well get Stormy Mondays instead (which was its other option originally).

Very nice clip.

Thanks, hunter!

Yes, vocals are going to be added (lyrics are already written) and the arrangement still needs to be tweaked. This was the raw skeleton demo I threw together for the singer.

very Uriah Heep - now you just need three keyboard players on stage.

It's quite progressive sounding. I like the arrangement, the glock works nicely, and the phasy guitars in the slow bits. That's a good mix too!

Liking it Ben.

It's practically a 180 degree flip from alot of your stuff I've heard in the past. That's meant as a good thing btw :)

I'd heard the mix you sent me in the PM before I saw this thread, and really liked the Eastern feel and approach you went for on this. It's a very different Tone and Feel than I've heard from you before, which I like :)

The EBow guitars at around 3:30 fit it well, as do the phasey/flangey bits in the breakdown. Also more keys/synths/programming than I've heard on any of your stuff before, which took me by surprise.

Hope I like the Riff Raff I've bought for my V as mucha s I like the sound of that 1 ;)

Thanks very much, guys.

After talking to the singer, I've begun the mk2 version of the song which will add another riff and have the basic blocking for the solos. Expect the next version to be even more 70s steeped!

Stay tuned!
