Have a Drink on Me with Metropoulos amps

Post by VelvetGeorge » Thu Nov 25, 2010 2:46 pm

Here's another clip from that day we recorded in the living room. The video was pretty bad, I couldn't clean it up, so I just made it dirtier with a film effect.

Mike is playing Malcolm's part on my custom shop '56 goldtop through a 10,000 series and 4-12 loaded with Heritage M's.

Later I played Angus' rhythm parts with my LP standard through the 45 combo with Golds.

I don't recall the amp settings, but might have them in my notes......If only I could find the notes.

Hi George,

it sounds very authentic to me!
But: what did the neighborhood and the cops say :hide:

Regards

Surprisingly, no cops showed up that day. I think my neighbors are used to occasional loud playing. LOL

I did the Angus parts on the 45 combo with Golds.

Glad to have your approval SoloDallas! Want to play the lead parts?

What. Are you kidding me George? Don't ask me seriously. I'd say yes, immediately.

I love those living room clips, (so far I have heard Unchained and Have a Drink). George, both are awesome!! SoloDallas is quite a player and has the AC/DC thing down, (I've seen them all over YouTube and his new site), would love to hear his solos!! I sense a George/SoloDallas project in the near future!!

George, if you are listening,
I am ready. I would shoot the solo with my JTM50 Metro, HD recording (or anything) for this or any AC/DC song you'd want to make. We'd then feature the collaboration wherever you want.

I'm all for it! Let me get the tracks together and I'll send them to you. Do you want to do the Angus rhythm part too? I can send a track with that removed.

Edit: it could be tricky to get the intro, I'll have to add in a click track.

Got the track, I'm in the game.
Will be away in North Africa for a week (leaving tonight) but upon return will shoot immediately. No, no worries on Angus' rhythm, will just double it (as on the album).

Fantastic George, you made me happy (again)

I'd enlist today :D

Well,
here it is. Played with my Metro JTM50. I LOVED the tone it could make. For the solo, I boosted the channel with a clean boost.

Video was shot too, but will post it only if George acknowledges this.

Thanks,

SD

PS
Tech: Two SGs used, a 1966 for the solo and a 1969 for the rhythm part. Cabinet is a vintage 1960B with 1977 25 blackbacks.
