Marilyn Manson - Antichrist Superstar (Guitar Cover-Standard Tuning)
'Antichrist Superstar' is the title track / promotional single from Marilyn Manson's 1996 album. It's written by Marilyn Manson, Madonna Wayne Gacy, and Ramirez. It's one of my 2 favorite Marilyn Manson songs of them all. The other being 'The Nobodies'. Just dirty, nasty, heavy stuff that's a BLAST to play! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K01QCfNOyUI
Well, it's been a few days. Decided to make this song my return song. Especially the line: "Ain't found a way to kill me yet" - hahaha! We have a little more light on the subject now with the changes to my room/house. So, now you can see I'm a portly old dude. If that bugs you, watch someone else. It's that simple. My days of trying to impress people with appearance are LONG over!
'Rooster' is from Alice In Chains's 1992 album 'Dirt' and is written by Jerry Cantrell.

GUITAR: Ibanez GRX70QA GIO - Bought for $115 from Butler Music via Reverb back in late 2018. The guitar was pretty beat up from a previous shipping mishap. But, it's very solid and has been very reliable since day one when it arrived here!

The amp I'm using on this is Nalex's 'Crunchman' (modeled after the Friedman plexi-style amp) - LINK IN DESCRIPTION.
When this song came out, some 'professional critics' accused Billy Squier of copying Led Zeppelin. They said the song sounds too much like "Nobody's Fault But Mine". Sure, it DOES sound similar. But, it's more in style than anything else. I would call it more of a TRIBUTE to Led Zep because John Bonham had died the year before this was released. MANY people missed that thundering Zeppelin sound - which was now gone due to Bonzo's passing. This song became a BIG hit, regardless of those critics and got to #28 on the charts in 1981.
'Lonely Is The Night' is from Billy Squier's 1981 album "Don't Say No" and is written by Billy Squier.

(GUITAR RIG 5 PRESET LINK IN DESCRIPTION BELOW)
Time to metal-up this beast! I think it did pretty nicely! This is Epiphone's stock pickups. The ONLY upgrade I've done to this guitar (so far) is a set of generic $30 locking tuners I got on eBay.
SPECIAL NOTE: I usually put a few extra things into my covers to give it my own personal flair while staying within the song structure. If you're a purist, and that bothers you, then maybe this channel isn't for you? Entertainment is my goal here - not full mimicry.

I just learned this one this morning. So, there's a stumble or two. But, on the overall, it worked out well. This song is a LOT more complicated than it looks or sounds. The timing is everything! It's been one of those days - so, it took a lot of takes.
'Cruiser' is from The Cars 1981 album 'Shake It Up'. It's written by the late, great, Ric Ocasek, and sung by the late, great, Benjamin Orr.
SIGNAL CHAIN:
GUITAR: Jackson JS11 'Dinky' - $150 at zZounds.com and other retailers. This guitar is fully STOCK. And, at $150, it's a STEAL! It plays so well and sounds so great! Contrary to the claims of Gear Snobs and Cork Sniffers, it hasn't fallen apart in a year and it's NOT firewood. I've owned this guitar since Spring 2019.

Well, I figured it was 'time for me to fly' with the Yamaha Pacifica on the Audiority Solidus VS8100 amp sim and see how it goes. It went pretty well, I think! I love this song a LOT. It's very tied to a lot of things that have happened to me in the past 2 decades! Sometimes, you just have to walk away and move on!
'Time For Me To Fly' is from REO Speedwagon's 1978 album "You Can Tune A Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish" and is written by Kevin Cronin.
SIGNAL CHAIN:
GUITAR: Yamaha Pacifica PAC-012 - Bought for $80 off of Ebay in late 2019. It was in a sorry state. The body has chips out of it (which I repainted) and 2 of the 3 pickups were broken (the single coils). So, I took a look inside and it appeared that someone took the magnets off of the single coil pickups and put them on the back of the humbucker - which, for some reason, made it more beefy and stronger! So, I left them as is and replaced the 2 single coils with the Glarry ones that came in that Strat as stock. Sounds awesome! Done a lot of covers with this guitar. It plays well, is very solidly built, and is a true performer!
