Anybody get the guitar wolf song yet?

[ammaringnyc]

Anyone?

[AGAP]

Yes, wicked crazy guitar. Songs been stuck in my head for days :aliensmile:

anyone know if the new Fog recorded this song, or did J just record everything himself

[ammaringnyc]

J probably did it himself well its definately him on guitar and drums and singing. It was probably recorded a while ago because the compilation probably took a while to put together and release.

[FlyingCloud]

yeah, good theory, ammaringnyc.
hope someone can confirm this?

I like the cover song, the different layers of guitars on J’s version of Guitar Wolf’s "Cyborg Kids" are woven in a souvereign way, accompanied by relaxed vocals. I like how the soloing sorta never stops throughout the song.

I also just listened to the original Guitar Wolf version of Cyborg Kids to compare this evening. their guitars are definitely great, with the guitars and especially the singing in a forward hellacopters way, not in the dreamy way J puts it, but it was a very interesting comparison indeed

And like Robert says, those Guitar Wolf guys are the Japanese bastard sons of the Hellacopters :aliensmile: …and can a band be bad who have an album that’s called "Kung Fu Ramone" ?
guess I’ll check them out a bit closer.

[Robert]

Yeah, GW is cool And the album "Jet Generation," that Cyborg Kids is featured on is great.
I think J’s version is a lot more "mellow" than the original. And it sort of disappointed me a bit, because I had hoped that I would finally hear some good old J screaming again
But I like the guitarwork + how he’s "layered" them, and the fact that he’s stretched it out to over 5 minutes, whereas GW stopped at approx 3 and a half. So all in all a great song, and it was cool that he ended up with something sort of different, which is the beauty of good covers.

[ammaringnyc]

J is never screaming, that was always lou, or lee renaldo

[Robert]

Well I gotta say that it sounds to me like he’s screaming a lot, especially live during the early 90’s. Download the wagon from Dinosaurs Are Still Alive on freesofree, that’s what I’m missing.

[ammaringnyc]

I have had Dinosaurs are still alive for 11 years and I don’t consider that screaming just bad singing because of a pa.

[Robert]

Ok, then I guess I stand corrected Perhaps shouting is the correct phrase.

[AGAP]

I kinda figured it was J on guitar & singing

Was wondering about bass & drums, also thought there might have been someone else doing a vocal line (cyborg kids distorted voice @ 3:16)

Gotta love that bastard sons of the Hellacopters description of GW :aliensmile:

No I don’t think it is. I forgot who it was but it was one of his friends.

It is J on drums to and the vocal line is either computer generated or it could even be J vocoded.
