Old wood, one coil, and a bad attitude

[Adam]

It was brought up in another thread whether a P-90 pickup could be suitable for heavy rock and metal. I believe it can, and was asked to post a song I recorded a month or two ago demonstrating that:

By the Bones of James Dean

I'll have to ask you guys to forgive some sloppy playing on this track. Some of it's intentional, but some of it isn't and it's got a few cringe-inducing moments for me. I originally wrote this song for my band (which is the primary reason I do these "demo" tracks) and I hope you enjoy!

The drums were done in FruityLoops using ns_kit7 and the guitars and bass were recorded into Adobe Audition via PodXT. The guitar I used for the entire thing is this one:

Thanks guitar08man!

Fruity Loops is great for making quick drum tracks. My only complaint is that it 's not compatible with Audition as a VST peripheral, so I have to mix down the drum tracks as a .wav and import them into Audition that way. It works, but it's a little slower of a process.
