The disappearing clitoris (Abyssmalicious Lyrics)

Track 8 on the record. Well not really … their are some « hidden tracks » and extra material on the album… but this is the 8th « real song » that was recorded. The original title was supposed to be « Abyssmalicious Clitoris » but the name was shortened to simply Abyssmalicious. I think the title suits the song better now. Not that TGON does not like the female anatomy…

I mean all the guys in the band really enjoy hair-pie… I dunno… the clitoris was just in the way. So yeah we cut the clitoris. Yikes now doesn’t that sound fucked up? That sounds almost as bad as the title of track 9… which has nothing to do with the song… but hey… it just sounded too intense to change the title.

So yeah… Abyssmalicious…very fun song to play… one of my favorite riffs is in this song. The problem is we only play it like 4 times and never repeat it!!! Just when you start digging it… kerplow… it’s gone.

When working on the bass line in the opening part, there was a selection of notes that we could use that worked. So fuck it… we just used them all. We ust piled them all in and had a low-end orgie. Hahahahaha [Read more →]

Butt-Plug… Ooops I Mean… PlugRut (Song Lyrics)

Maybe it is my infatuation with the female ass but when I first heard the title of this track… I swear I heard the words butt-plug. But no… the title of the 7th song of the album is PlugRut. What the fuck does that mean? Uhhhh Schrecker explained it to me once, but I must have been too pissed off and / or drunk to remember. I had just finished the previous title track “Broken” and we wanted to start playing live. Zasta suggested we work out Plugrut because it is a little less chaotic then PornoZING! and we could start doing some 30 minute live shows. I learned it in a rehearsal with the guys and we were ready to go.

Since I knew the song we wanted to track that one right away and release a 3 song EP as a sort of teaser to the album. This is the last song that was recorded with my Mesa Boogie amp. Fuck I hated the way that thing was playing with my head. We had done a live show in Ste-Julie and it crapped out on me at the beginning of the gig.

I could not hear myself on stage but could faintly hear myself in the house system. We all have our issues. My thing is this: I have this belief that inanimate objects are out to get me… That amp would work fine in the studio and then KERPLOW… bitch would not work in live situations. I finished the track and days after we were playing at this grade school in the gymnasium. Sound check… hmmmm… the lights are on but nobody’s home. I wanted to go for a 3 pointer with it at the other end of the gymnasium. I did the gig with an amp Schrecker had at the studio… luckily someone that was coming to the show lived close-by and brought it for us. [Read more →]

She’s A Slut (PornoZing Lyrics)

Ahhhhhhh PornoZing!

Ok… ok… ok… ok…. I guess you need to have a sense of humour to understand this one. I have my flaws but I do think that I have a decent sense of humour. The critics really hate this one… especially the part that says that your mother is « a slut slut slut »… well face it PAL… she probably is. Does that upset you? To know that your mom likes to get rammed in her poontang? That she likes to get her nipples pulled on while getting smacked on her ass and called a dirty whore?

Sexuality (as fucked up as some people’s habits are) is part of life and that’s what the record reflects… life and the Earth and what mankind has done to it. Doing the nasty is just one aspect of it. Ok enough with that… if you don’t « get it » you never will.

Now back to MY experience with this song. « This is about me now isn’t it? » he asks himself as he takes another sip from the bottle. Fuck another empty one! Kat is sleeping and in pain so I am drinking and writing because I have to occupy my brain.

OK here we go : I had been having some trouble in live situations with my Mesa Boogie bass amp. At the first live show we did… the fucking thing was as loud at 3 as it was at 10… I knew something was up. I wanted to throw the fucking thing. We start tracking this song and half way through… the amp starts crackling and making all kinds of noise. I was really happy with the way it sounded at first, but I guess I got a lemon … a little sissy of an amp that nobody wanted… the runt of the litter. OK I do not have patience for this shit… kerplow… days later I purchase a mammoth amp and start all over. GLOCKEN – what? « The Earth shakes » Jon is at the studio and wants to try his preamp into my amp and cab… shazzam… the 15 inch speaker in the cab hyperextends and I am fucked again. Gotta wait to get a new one. [Read more →]

You Cannot Hurt Her… She’s Already Broken (Lyrics)

Broken is the 5th track on the record but I had recorded PlugRut (the 7th) before… just because we wanted to put out a 3 song EP and wanted to include PlugRut on it.

As the title of the track of the record… you know it is gonna be big. When I first met Schrecker, Zasta and Jon at Moonbabe Studio… Schrecker asked me what I had already heard. He presses play on the console and I listened to what seemed to be a frickin’ 12 minute song. A mammoth epic piece of music over 7 minutes long with numerous parts, textures and moods.

For the recording of the album I had been using my orange sunburst 5 string Music Man bass but I had just bought a new bitch… same thing as the other one except for the color. This one was cherry red with a black pickguard. The sound was much bigger, rounder and tighter with this bass because I had it set up with a thicker gauge of strings and wow… what a difference!

When The “Wrath” Began (Wrong, But In Throes Lyrics)

My journey into the realm of “The Gods” began with this song. I was looking for a project that was serious. I was in a project that was, when looking back on it, a total joke. My relationship with the word serious goes a little further than… “wow that was a great tasting beer… I think I will have another… seriously…”. The people I was dealing with were still wet behind the ears and seemed to have serious problems with commitment. I bet they couldn’t even choose between single or double-ply toilet paper… If the single ply doesn’t work and it gets messy just fucking fold and use more already… Dude quit wasting my time! Anyways… I will not get into messy toilets, that is not my thing… seriously.

So yeah, what the fuck was I talking about? Oh yeah, so I was online looking for a project that would occupy some spare time that I had because the band I was in was infantile and going nowhere. I was not looking to leave my current project necessarily, the rare occasions we did work together were fun. I just wanted to move forward and experience more because my current project was crawling at the rate of a quadraplegic turtle.

I found a posting online for a “serious band looking for a bass player”… oh no… it is that word again… serious. The posting said “we have the studio, the marketing plan and are ready to go when YOU are.” I dug that… I am not a big fan of being pushed into shit I am not ready for… I got enough issues.

The Wires Are Crossed And Nothing Is Working! (Lobotomatronic Lyrics)

Song 3 Lobotomatronic.

Talk about getting out of your comfort zone.

Generally speaking albums are recorded as follows : drums, bass, rhythm guitar, then lead guitars and vocals or vice vera all depending. That is what I had been used to. For this album the drums and the rhythm guitars were already more than half way finished… same with vocals. When I was laying down the bass… I could not play too tight with Zasta because the rhythm guitar would sound off… and same situation if I played too tight with the guitar. We had to find the sweet spot… the happy medium, you know… the piece of skin between the pussy and the asshole to just rest your chin and… uhhhhh …. You know what I mean.

Schrecker would always send me the guitar and drums tracks for each song so I could work on them. Even with just 1 guitar and drums this thing was huge. Holy-lick this thing is a monster!!! Sort of like a sweaty (and slutty) chick Frankenstein all pieced together. It totally did not make sense to me at first… all kinds of odd tempos and shit. I was out of breath after the first 3 listens. Then I got used to it… ok not really but at least it started to make sense… well kinda.

Got a huge distorted bass sound for a short section in the beginning… I never really used much distortion on bass… works very well for that section. Totally chaotic parts in this song… one of the heaviest on the record.

Done… now I feel all sweaty (and slutty). [Read more →]
