Dead Underground- This song is crazy. I literally wrote it in my sleep. I dreamt the chorus line, "Wake Up, Wake Up..." and it woke me up. Luckily I had an acoustic guitar within reach and I just elaborated on the idea.
The music started out as a dumb, four-chord progression with chromatic climbs, set to a shuffle a la AFI's "Silver and Cold" or something from Danzig. The sleazy "Thin Lizzy" guitar harmonies came after the vocals had been worked out further. The solo was written and played pretty much on the fly with my band and the producer standing around me saying, "do something cool here". My approach was to keep it way simple and milk the s*** out of those sleazy bends. It definitely calls for Jim (our guitarist/programmer) to climb out on a platform and make guitar faces every night when he hits those notes live. - more on this story
