BRS Demo 1Painkiller

Spent the afternoon cleaning, re applying tru oil to the fretboard to keep wear down as string and finger rubs were starting to show as well as new strings.
Made three covers while playing the strings in lets see how many will be allowed to post under the fair use rules.

That's my 2nd favorite all-time Priest song!

[@North49RC]

Buddy you are dialed in. Sounds awesome. This song brings back memories lol

[@borgonianevolution]

Oh this one is wayyy outta my league. I just found some happy spots to mimic 🤣

[@zandelscomicsandcards7543]

Sounds good!

[@borgonianevolution]

Thanx brother. Wish I actually knew how to play these from a music sand point not as a monkey mimicking what I think I hear. 🤣

[@robtoothill]

👍👍👍 Love a bit of good old British Steel!! 😉 .... and the guitar sounds pretty metal as well! 😉

[@borgonianevolution]

haha they better sound like metal. They are the actual guitarist on the songs branded pickups... I do a lot of British Steel cover. STILL one of my al time favorite albums

[@InRemoteControl]

I love the way you play buddy. I wish I had just a bit of your playing abilities

[@borgonianevolution]

I wish you did too mate!! then maybe you could tell me what the hell I am doing!!! I am just a monkey mimicking what I think I hear that might blend in with what is really being played.😂

I saw rob halford in the early 2000s as a solo artist and he was amazing lol he was supporting iron maiden, great gig! nice playing.

[@borgonianevolution]

Thank you Ben. Yes Rob has an amazing range and incredibly powerful push. He is however like the rest of us and getting up in age. Might be about time to set the mic down before he goes the way of the Neil.

[@TornelliGuitars]

Nicely done Bill, I watched the others too. I guess we’re getting a good sound demo for GGBO this year!

[@borgonianevolution]

NOPE!!!! sound demos are NOT a requirement.. May not even put pickups in. 🤣 Yes I WILL do sound Demos if I can complete in time. This year we go inactive probably on both that Les Paul repair / practice piece (depending on fix outcome) and the GGBO. Putting funds aside for that now.

[@wikiperkya1103]

Pretty good man....hows about doing those leads next? =) Sounds like some good shredding

[@HatchA_Makes...]

I never listened to Priest... Halford's got a great range an' all, but in general (to my ears) his voice just doesn't fit with the melody most of the time 😕 Perhaps I'll give them a proper chance... any recommendations to squash my Judas cherry? Also - that guitar is SPANKING!! Really bright 80s metal sound! What p-ups did you put in it?

[@borgonianevolution]

BROTHER!!! That is almost blasphemy!! 🤣 Just look up Metal works 73 - 93 compilation album. That has a great sampling of their earlier and in my opinion better stuff. This is my first GGBO build that originally had the Zakk Wylde EMG's that are now in Lzzy. this is the originally planned set that wasnt available at the time. these are the Glenn Tipton Vengeance set.

[@borgonianevolution]

Hey mate. I saw your post in my pull down notification for the Les Paul video about being blocked. I checked the posts needing approval and nothing from you at all but there was one with a link in it that @Bhartissimo had posted I approved. I am not blocking nor ignoring you the messages just seem to not be there at all other than a notification.

[@HatchA_Makes...]

@@borgonianevolution No worries, pal. It's probably th'Tube pickin' on me... 🙄

[@borgonianevolution]

@@HatchA_Makes... What was it you was saying that has disappeared?

[@HatchA_Makes...]

@@borgonianevolution Just that that type of neck joint is pretty common from kits made in the East, and that I'd literally glued one up just 2 hours before you posted your vid. I also linked the site that I got my kit from (pitbull guitars), telling you to scroll through the pic's of their single cut model, as it shows pic's of the back of the neck & heel, so you can see exactly what you'd be dealing with, should you decide to remove the neck. That's the nuts & bolts of it :)
