Part One: The Story

Taking the 2nd "30-second idea" from back in an older thread & following it thru to completion..........We get the crazy new track "Die Spammer, Die"........

This is an angry song & my best attempt at some X-Metal (& humor) (\m/)...... I even captured my favorite recorded lick/line to date (Go to the 1:37ish mark & check this out NOW)

Enraged by the Spam community & their never ending quest to sell me a baby carrier on a guitar forum, I created THIS with some help from a misfit band of axe slinging brothers.........

Know as "The X-Team".........



The song has layers of guitar tracks & Eleven Rack Rigs & tones.........Along with a special Kemper appearance too......... but the SUPER COOL new thing is the stellar VOCALS provided by my new net friend Martin....... (I'm doing a whole bunch of full vocal band tunes next if all goes well & will need more soldiers too)

I needed some 11R help & found it in the following soldiers of fortune: CrankyRayHanky (2nd verse Kemper solo over the "Weapons Selection" part), Cisco Kid aka Mork (Crazy cool outro feedback/cat calls/amazing solo where he is pictured toward the end), DJEmass (My Sniper who sent me back a 4-track Killer infused epic sound scape)......I even changed the ending around to show this off & by lowering all of the other instruments so you can hear it.....That's DJE at the very end (& some X-bass) all by himself........Until my boy Jase2112 comes in with the final lick to put that last nail in the coffin on the Spamming world!!!!!!

& if THAT wasn't enough....Stay till the very, very end where JVstrat shows you his little friend & puts a little more lead in those Spammer corpses.......

I send out a very special "Thank you" to my "X-Team" & the guys who wanted to be on this track but where fighting another war (VSA, Mike, Mark etc...etc..)

& if YOU were entertained & liked a tone or specific solo please feel free to stop in & say so.......If you're interested in being a part of my next adventure please let me know & I'll make it happen.....

Your Team Lead & Demolition Mann.....X-Mann

X-Mann you came through again with some awesome stuff! it's always cool to see this type of motivating material that gets the forum going again. and it's always cool to get a good laugh early in the day.

What an awesome song and video!

That Martin guy is hilarious That part with the neon sword ... I bursted out laughing at that bit

And that news article ... "Maladjusted 14-year-olds grunt with delight" LOL

Dude that is GREAT! It sounds awesome and I love how it turned out. I think my favorite part is the "Spammer" paper getting shot with the bb gun, that is an awesome scene!

And I also agree with MrRiff...I think Martin would fit in nicely around here!

I have to wait till I get home tonite, as we are blocked here at work..

I am looking forward to it!!!


**UPDATE**

Now I seen it and love it!!

You guys are FREAKING AWESOME..!!!!

DIE SPAMMER DIE..!!!!!!
