The Tracks…

“SIDEWINDER” power track with a cross rhythm arrangement between the guitars, driven by a bass

groove, about a crazy Rock Chick & the darker side of the Rock scene in general, lead guitar is over a

progression with a cool pause & build up to the final verse.

“HALLOWEEN”   totally manic lead guitar, on this highly atmospheric track, that gives a horror

reality approach to the Halloween theme, conveying an air of panic & terror. The intro has probably

the loudest whisper ever, over an orchestral type guitar run.

“OUT OF CONTROL”   Thumping hard Metal track with lyrics about a guy who’s no good for a chick

but happy with it, conveying the message that waiting around for someone who’s “on a bender” is

totally pointless, most dudes would probably associate with this at some point, its just a “dude thing”

that happens.

“TROUBLE ‘N’ STUFF” conflict leads to confrontation & confrontation leads to an escalation of

conflict …. this track belongs to those who cant seem to grasp that if you don’t go back to trouble, it

ceases. This has a nice 5^th harmony lead guitar section too & a jazzy feel to the percussion.

“CALL AFTER MIDNIGHT” Pop metal, power ballad, melodic sad verses & an indignant taunting

chorus, in as much that after midnight is the worst time possible to call someone, huge lead guitar

intro & mid section, pop rock feel comes from the higher tuning.



“WAKEN NOSFORATU”   taken from the traditional Dracula theme, this is about the great & wise

Doctor Van Helsing, who risks all for our salvation. Powerful rhythmic Metal with some nice

original guitar quirks thrown in & a one off harmonic trick in a pause in the middle of the track,

which key changes & harmonizes throughout.

“LEAD GUITAR” a studio recording of the ROY STONE opening “manic lead guitar” that has opened

so many London rock & metal gigs & has even occasionally been made to last for as long as twenty

minutes when other bands on the line up have failed to show up !

“LOVING YOU AGAIN” begins subtley on a third harmonic chord to a fifth, the tuneful intro leads to

a more powerful, soulful & emotional Rock love song, with a catchy melody & a sweet harmonic

feedback as the song closes.

“ARABIAN KNIGHTS” evocative & fast Rock track with pounding rhythm, some nice higher octave

Rock vocals & a chorus that reverses the drum beat & comes back into time, on the subject of desert

horsemen fighting the battles of old with mighty curved sabers & & cannon.

“3rd REICH” pounding Rock in a syncopated rhythm style, cool progression in a mid-section that’s

mostly in sevenths, with a sad message about misguided pride & waste of fighting to the death in a

battle that is clearly already lost & also a reminder of how evil can manifest itself through an entire

nation either through fear or indoctrination.
