This is a video I made a while back that I figured I'd post since Halloween is coming up. . .
Part 1 Music: Made with The POD, Cakewalk and I played a Peavey Telecaster-Type Copy.
Part 2 Music: I believe it is a Russian College Jazz band playing back in the 70s? I'm playing my Yamaha SA 2000 through a Peavey VTM 120.
All Solos: Skok

Well. . . There it is. . .
I played with these guys in 01-02, or so. . . The singer is a great songwriter named Dean Whalen. He wrote all the music and lyrics and I played all the leads (even the part I cheesed up near the end of the solo. . .). This was at The Big Rib Cookoff in Reno, Nevada.
Unfortunately, we weren't together very long.
D.K. Wolfe Is:

Superman and The Man From Mars

This is a compilation of Fire Breathing clips and guitar solos. NOTE: What you are seeing at 1:09-1:13 is the flame coming out of the eye hole of the hockey mask, as opposed to the mouth hole and 2 of the best clips had a stupid snowman frame that I couldn't get rid of (even though I tried to kill it off in that one vid. . .).
All guitars were played through The POD and plugged directly into an HP Pavillion 7955 using
Cakewalk to record.
No Amps, or Speakers were used on this recording.
It's elemental, really. . . Fire and Axe. . .
What more does one need?

Mad Dog Mark San Juan/Drums/Vocals.
This was recorded at Rock On Broadway in San Francisco 5/11/85 and it was The First Live Show we ever played. For the most part, the sound guy did a fairly good job at this gig. A friend of ours who was in the band for a while wrote the music.

On The Final Day What's Left Of It

Burning Bodies From Inside Out
It's Total Genocide
Evil Forces Fighting Will It Ever End?

This was videotaped at Kevin's 30th birthday party in the mid-90s. Davey Pattison sang a track (Loves After Effects) on Kevin's Signatures cd and came down for the gig. We only played with Davey at the actual gig. Between being onstage with one of my favorite singers, the nerves, the crowd and switching to a friend's guitar (that I'd never played before), some of my playing isn't quite up to par, but this was a Once-In-A-Lifetime kind of situation and. . .
Solar Heat/Ready For Action
Solo: Steve Kelly
Me and my friends
Been standing on the corner
Underneath the blinking streetlight
When we're in the mood
We'll do anything we wanna
Looks like we're
In the mood tonight
Tired of hanging around
Throwin' punches at the moon
Tired of going no where
Ready For Some Action
Sick and tired of hearing
That we're down and out
The situation's out of control
We don't need no-one to tell us
What it's all about
All we need is rock & roll
Repeat Chorus
Solo: Steve Kelly
Repeat First Verse
Repeat Chorus
We're looking for action
Be the main attraction
Ready for some action

VOYAGER
The dark of the sky The light of the moon
The solitary figure will be home real soon
He has braved the storms of time His life is on the line
He's been prayin' To his saviour
Please take me away from here
The man on the ship - Has a lot to fear
He hasn't seen home - In almost a year
When darkness falls He goes by the stars
Getting directions from Jupiter and Mars
It was he who created this strife
He is fightin' for his life
He is longing to see His wife and his family
REPEAT CHORUS
Solo: Steve Kelly
Well will things be the same
When he gets home again
Will his children still remember
The man who went away
The year that has gone past
All the places he has been
He'll remember to the last
The worlds that he has seen
REPEAT CHORUS
Oh oh oh
Fade to end

We actually had a whole video for this song at one time, but the only surviving piece is the guillotine scene that I used here. The rest was made with live video clips from The Keystone Palo Alto and Rock on Broadway.
Raise The Blade
Music: Steve Kelly
Lyrics: Steve Kelly/Mark SanJuan
Vocals: Ross Glickman
You Wake In Hell As They Open Your Cell
A Rotting Corpse Hiding In Its Shell
The Iron Bars You Now Walk Past
Are There For Good But You Won't Last
The Henchman Has You By Your Hair
The Horde Descends Your Life Is Theirs
The Guillotine Awaits
The Crowd Demands You Pay
You Walk The Final Stairs
The Executioner Is There
His Grip Will Rip Your Flesh Away
As He Puts You On Display
Then The Crowd Begins To Roar
As Your Head Is Being Lowered
YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!
Your Neck's In The Vice
You're Waiting For The Slice
The Blade Hits Your Skin
You Scream From Within
Then Your Face Will Tumble Forward
And The Blood Will Runneth Over
You Try A Desperate Shriek
But Your Head's Been Severed Clean
The Deadly Court's Adjourned
The Crowd Again Will Soon Return
To Another Deadly Trial
And Kill Again With Lethal Style

From The 1990 Demo Tape, FORCED PSYCHOSIS - THE TIME OF THE END, This Is:
PROSECUTION
Music: Rodney Creel
Lyrics and Vocals: Steve Kelly
Hostages Frozen In Silent Terror Waiting
Bodies Plunging Scattered On The Pavement
Snipers Aiming Bullets Waiting Placement
Your Mission Has Failed You'd Better Start To Face It
You've Taken The Lives Of Many Innocent Victims
"You Must Meet Our Demands!"
You Raved Like Politicians
On Your Hands And Your Knees
You Begged For Extradition
Now That It's Up To Me
We'll See Your Execution
Death's Not Enough For You - So Suffer
Your Punishment Is Overdue - Torment Further
Your Search For Death Will Be In Vain - Dread Life
I Want To See Your Splattered Brains!
On A Stake We'll Thrust - Your Body
Impale And Beat You To The Dust - Torn Bloody
There'll Be A Plague Upon The Land - Spread Wide
'Til Every One Of You Is Hanged
Your Actions Have Led Me To Only One Conclusion
We Must Rid The World Of Your Kind Of Pollution
An Example Must Be Made The Jury Has Insisted
Your Chances For Survival Are Almost Non-Existent
First There'll Be No Pain Your Vision Blurs And Fades
Then A Raging Fire Will Build Inside Your Veins
Strapped Down To A Table Your Body Starts To Writhe
If You're Lucky Enough
Maybe We'll Let You Die!!

THE EVIL
Lyrics And Music: Steve Kelly
Vocals: Rodney Creel
Solos: Rodney Creel/Steve Kelly
Life threatening Fury Existing within
Thoughts of a society Ridden with sin
War will surround us In its flood we will drown
The future of mankind Comes tumbling down
With the fall of society The people in fear
The Time Of The End Has Now Drawn Near!
Madness Erupting Your Sanity's Maimed
The Horror And Suffering Is All That Remains
Battle Exploding Catastrophe Reigns
In This World We've Created
Tell Me Who's To Blame?
Hatred Rising Cannot Be Contained
Feeds Off The Evil That Exists In Our Brains
Try To Control It Your Attempt Is In Vain
The Only Thoughts In Our Minds
Are The Thoughts That Give Pain
Releasing Anger In A Blinding Rage
A Wave Of Violence Brings The End Of Our Days
The Causes For Gain
Is What Brought Us This Shame
Evil Is Bred In Our Minds And Our Veins
Solos: RC/SK/RC/SK/RC/SK/RC/SK

HUMANICIDE
Music: Steve Kelly/Howard Neil/Rodney Creel
Lyrics: Steve Kelly
Vocals: Steve Kelly
Millions of years the Earth was evolving
A new form of life starts the planet dissolving
The beings take shelter his senses are keen
The last parasite has arrived on the scene
Taking all lives In his fight for survival
The slaughter begun Nothing can rival
He lives on through floods Diseases and plagues
Even the elements Couldn't change his ways
Toba erupts in a hellish storm
The sun is blocked The Ice Age is born
Man survives Though his weapons are crude
His destructive ways Are being renewed
With no life left worth taking He turns on his own
The noise from the battles Fades out in a drone
With weapons he always Had taken control
The weapon would now Become the last foe
Unending slaughter Human/Animal
Destroy us all I say he will
Creating hideous viruses Chemicals
Until IT PROPOGATES ITSELF beyond his control
Altered consciousness Controlled mistake
Cats begin to drown Themselves in lakes
ENDLESS RACE FOR SUPREMACY
QUICKENS THE END OF HUMANITY
A NEW FORM OF WEAPON AN UNSEEN FOE
A FLOATING DRAGON THAT WILL
RIP OUT YOUR SOUL!!!
To breathe will cause grief Through the air it will creep
Into the fabric Of your mind it will seep
The people are doomed Without a plea
THE KILLER IN US ALL
IS BEING SET FREE!!!!!

From The Grave
Music: Rodney Creel
Lyrics: Steve Kelly
Vocals: Rodney Creel
Solo: Steve Kelly
From The Grave Comes the One
Who Will Bring Extinction
Black Clouds Of Death Fill The Sky
He Has Come To Destroy
The Horror He Employs
He'll Bring The Dead Back To Life
In The Past It Was Said
He Would Rise From The Dead
To Command The Souls Of The Damned
On His Right Will Be Satan
On The Left Will Be God
In Between Is Where We'll Stand!
Blood Flowing Down All Life's Been Halted
Undead Walk Amidst The Slaughter
A Man To A Man Looks Like A Meal
He Grabs Your Face And Starts To Squeeze!
Through Your Skull Into Your Brain
Your Eyes Gouged Out You Scream In Pain
Twisted Matter Lifeless After
For Your Last Breath Of Air You Gasp
Mutated Lives From Death They Hide
Victims Screaming In The Night
Disease Is Spread At Deadly Pace
Death To The Human Race!
Solos: Rodney Creel/Steve Kelly/Rodney Creel
Countless Lives Have Been Bled
And A Season Of Death
Is Unleashed Upon The Earth
Through Debris And Decay
Dead Bodies And Graves
You Witness Evil's Rebirth
As The Dead Start To Rise
Many Men Lose Their Lives
And There Will Be No Escape
Hell's Gates Open While
A Path Of Death Is Scarred Wide
Mankind's Fate No Longer Waits
The Dead Begin To Hunt The Living
From Their Graves They Are Driven
You See Them Your Heart Starts To Race
DEATH TO THE HUMAN RACE!!!!!

The Ripper (Judas Priest Cover).
Opening Riffs: Rodney Creel/Steve Kelly
You're in for surprise
You're in for a shock
In london town streets
When there's darkness and fog
When you least expect me
And you turn your back
I'll attack
I smile when I'm sneaking
Through shadows by the wall
I laugh when I'm creeping
But you won't hear me at all
All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper
You'll soon shake with fear
Never knowing if I'm near
I'm sly and I'm shameless
Nocturnal and nameless
Except for "the ripper"
Or if you like "jack the knife"
Solo: Steve Kelly (skok65)
Any back alley street
Is where we'll probably meet
Underneath a gas lamp
Where the air's cold and damp
I'm a nasty surprise
I'm a devil in disguise
I'm a footstep at night
I'm a scream of the fright
All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper...the ripper....the ripper

Kevin Crider is a San Francisco Bay Area musician who is best known as an extremely talented bass player. On his cd titled Signatures he composed the music and played all of the drums/bass/rhythm & acoustic guitar/piano/synthesized strings and percussion. He then hand-picked some of Rock & Roll's greatest talents to solo/sing/perform on it, matching each player's style to a particular track. The result is a fantastic cd,
jam-packed with talent!
This track is titled "What Is It?" and features
John Wedemeyer, one of the Bay Area's best musicians, on Lead Guitar.

This first track is titled Stratovision and features a blistering guitar solo by Ronnie Montrose (who has played with Van Morrisson, Edgar Winter, Montrose and Gamma, among others).
Around the same time Kevin was geting this cd together I was lucky enough to have just interviewed Ronnie for a Zine I published called Bay Area Bands Magazine (go to the pics page at www.myspace.com/skok58 to see pics/excerpts from the interview!). Kevin had just recorded a song that featured Davey Pattison on vocals and offered to introduce me to him for an interview if I would ask Ronnie to play on his cd. Needless to say everyone agreed and the rest is history. . .
Feel free to send a message for more info about this great CD and I will post contact info for Kevin Crider soon.
