Here's the transition

This was the first song shifting from pop punk to rock
It had to be autotuned because I was still in E rather than Eb
This was written for my girlfriend of the era Betty, and it sure worked if ya know what I mean
Band: Silk Röad
Title: Give Into Me

That's great... yeah, the vocals need to be redone as you mentioned, but the guitar tone is killer. I got a Tesla vibe from the song in a few places. Nicely done!

Thanks man.
That's Derek Jones' (RIP) Les Paul, with EMG-85 in the bridge
Into AxeFX Marshall set up, and probably quadruple tracked as we did back then

I still got the guitar. It ain't going nowhere. I always wanted to swap either Alnico 2 Pros or Screamin Demons into it... but given Derek's passing, I kinda feel that's sacrilege.
Some of my other tracks have either Max Green on bass (Outta Getcha), or Kevin Thrasher Gruft doing the solo (Diamond Dave).

Question.
Beginning of the solo, at 2:18 . . .
Is that a kill switch?
Or is it the old school trick of toggling the sector switch on a Les Paul with independent volume knobs and the rhythm pickup at zero?
Or did the chord short out at a fortuitous moment? Crazy stuff like that can and does happen while recording.
On a related note, when exactly did the "kill switch" become a thing? My 2019 EVH 5150 does not have a kill switch, but current production models do.

Haha yes that one is the Les Paul trick with neck pup @ zero... Eddie did it in '77 on You Really Got Me (on his Destroyer / Shark?)
I don't know the year he first put a kill switch button on a Wolfgang, but that's certainly where I got the idea from. 2012-ish maybe.

You can definitely hear the Pop-Punk power in the song. Is that you singing?

Haha thanks and yep sure is. Autotune swishiness going on though.
All my tracks, everything is me, except...
Drums are always my producer Ahmad Alkurabi (A Smile From the Trenches, Crazy Town, etc)
Bass one track is my bud Derek and another is Max Green (Escape the Fate / Falling in Reverse)
And one guitar solo is Kevin Thrasher Gruft (Falling in Reverse)

Nothing like that Marshall roar. Nothing like it.
