LEGEND Revisited - New Recording Project

WOW!

I love your band and might be interested myself if you would have me.  I sing and play guitar, rhythm and lead.  My band Temple of Blood was also a power trio for years with me playing those roles.  I also recorded vocals for the epic power metal band Cauldron Born years ago.

I also know many musicians personally who I might be able to reach out to that could help.

Welcome to the CMR and may God bless your music!

I appreciate that. Thank you. There's more info at my website but, rules state I can't put website links in a post yet.

I am a bass player who has recorded for myself as Mission Of One and Big Chris & D'Bare Bones Band.  I have also done tracks for Lordchain, Liberty 'n Justice, Incarnate, Joshua's Creed, and am working on some new stuff myself.  I have recording gear at home.  I might could help you out.

Very cool! Good luck!

You came to a good place. There have been and are some very talented musicians who frequent here.

Hi. There's more info at my website but, I can't post a link for seven days so, if you do a search for Drums in his heart, you should find the site. Once there, click on the Legend Revisited tab and check it out and see what you think. 

If you have any particular examples of your playing you'd like me to hear, let me know. 

I appreciate your interest and time. Thank you.

Here is a track from the most recent recording I have been involved in.  I have had the privledge of doing several songs on two of the rock worship EPs that Lordchain has done.  I tried to give them what they wanted with the song and put a few embellishments here and there to express myself as I would as a bass player.





Here is an original song I released a few years ago under the band name Mission Of One.  The bass work isn't that phenomenal, but I was trying to give the music that classic 80's metal sound and the song just didn't need much.  While sometimes you need more technical bass work, this one needed to just rock with the guitars for a big fat sound.  I am doing all rhythm guitars, bass, and vocals.  I also wrote the song.



Lastly, here is a song from one of my two blues albums that I did as Big Chris & D'Bare Bones Band.  I am doing everything in this song except for the drums.  All guitars, bass, and vocals are me.  I do wish the slide solo were louder, but I didn't want to spend more $$$ on mixing to fix it.  I know better now.  LOL



This will give you a brief idea of what I can and have done.  All samples may not be what you are looking for, but it does give you a taste.  I am definitely a follower of Christ and wish to use my music to glorify Him.  I also have the ability to record at home and can send you files from my home in Tennessee should we choose to work together.

Thanks for the examples of what you're into. That last song showcased things the best. Quite the story line. Well done.

I'm listening to the original album now on You Tube....I like it, it was ahead of it's time and certainly must have influenced other well-known bands who eventually stepped into that musical space.

It will be difficult to try to re-capture that same vibe with new recording technology, but re-recording with new lyrics is a great idea and a worthwhile project.   The name Legend has been used by other groups since then though so that will be another issue to deal with.

The trick will be to capture some kind of essence of what the band's sound was, without sounding like a Legend cover band, if you know what I mean. Just off the bat the drums will sound different. Different set-up for instruments and mics, room, etc., and just me, as a player 40 years later. A 40 year difference can't be avoided. On the other hand, hopefully the music will achieve a higher level of presentation via today's recording possibilities. I look forward to that. I know the record company is. 

I believe a grandfather aspect will protect the band's name for a new recording. We actually had another CT band using that name at the time. We went into the studio and made it legal first. I don't foresee any serious difficulties. I'll be addressing that with the record company's legal dept., though. There have been no problems with the 2019 reissue. 

Like all else, I'm leaving things in God's hands to guide me through everything.
