Friday, February 16: AC/DC, "Squealer"
R.I.P. Ronald Belford "Bon" Scott (1946-1980), Malcolm Young (1953-2017)
Before they blew the doors off with Let There Be Rock, AC/DC was a much slinkier and gnarlier affair.  Yes, they had a way with hooks and groove from the beginning, but there was also a seediness that, while never totally disappearing, did seem to get sanded away a bit and replaced with more mischievous good cheer.  But “Squealer” gave off real menace, beginning with its lurching backbeat and ominous chords and extending to Bon Scott’s threatening whisper and a chorus that wasn’t so much chanted as coughed and belched.  This sounded especially unwashed, even for AC/DC, and actually lent some credence to the perception that these guys really were hooligans that quite possibly worshiped Satan.  It was unkempt and shaggy, and not inconsequentially one of the last times they would sound quite this squalid, since just one year later they would tighten up considerably and begin a remarkable hot streak.

Metal guitar songwriting tips (when you've run out of ideas)
Learn how to play a riff or lick that you love. Then, tweak the hell out of that thing. Change a chord, change the sequence of notes, use a different picking technique, add or remove notes, just continue making changes until it sounds distinctly different.
Listen to an existing guitar part and then try to come up with something that has vaguely the same kind of sound/feel. Don't try to figure out the exact notes of the original guitar part, just go with the flow and if your idea kinda resembles that, you're good.
Experiment with a drum track to come up with riff ideas that suit the drums.
Take a couple of bars (for example 4) that make up a riff and experiment with changing around the order - example: playing bar 3 first, then 1, then 4. Tweak accordingly.
If you want to come up with something potentially much more wacky (tech death ninjas unite), write down a couple of intervals and/or chords you really like. Assign numbers to them i.e. 1-6. Plug into a random number generator to determine the order in which to play them.
These are my favourite methods for coming up with song ideas, especially number 1 & 2.
What are yours?

Dungeons & Drabbles - 2022
Day 24 - Mellifluous
-------------------
FCG / Anni Aughta (Modern Human AU)
Everything about Anni was musical.
Her passions, her laugh, the way she always stepped in time with the beat.
To many she was a boisterous and nasty punk, with all the social graces of a bag of flour and a bite far worse than her already rancid bark.
To Fresh Cut Grass though, and by extension the rest of the Krook House Crew, she was a complete and utter delight. What made her an outcast to society just made her fit in here with them all the more. Her argumentative nature gave Ashton someone to safely banter and bicker with. Her more solitary nature gave Milo the space to work on their passions without worrying that they were ignoring her. After all, if Anni wanted their attention she’d make that known, loud and clear.
And with Fresh Cut Grass?
Well, he loved the music she played. Nothing was more soothing after the average death charred 3am nightmare than the sweet melodies lofting from Anni’s bedroom. Usually the violin, her weapon of choice, so to speak.
A pleased sigh slipped forth, as Fresh Cut Grass shifted their head safely in Anni’s lap, letting the gentle strokes of the bow melt their anxieties away.
“Thanks for lettin’ me listen again, Anni,” they whispered during a particularly long lull in her private bedroom performance. “I know you don't usually like letting anyone in when you're practicing, even if I think it always sounds real pretty and all…”
Anni rolled her eyes, failing to hide the affection behind the gesture from the blue eyed delight in her lap. Like she could ever be truly annoyed with them for even a second.
“You were sobbing so loud that I'm surprised you didn't wake Mi and Ash. How drunk did those fuckers get to sleep through that?”
“They're certainly due for some nasty hangovers in the morning… I’m sorry if my crying disturbed you.”
“Cut it with the apologizing bullcrap! We don't say sorry for fucking crying in this household, okay?”
“I- I know, but I was very loud, and you were trying to practice…”
“And look! I still am! Wow! It's like you didn’t disturb shit!”
Well, that was true. Sure, Anni had taken a 15 minute break to pull them from their bedroom (gosh they hated sleeping alone… but Ashton, with Milo in their lap, had fallen asleep in front of his door, blocking Fresh Cut Grass from getting in), and into her own. Had had to comfort and hold them and he shook and sobbed and sullied her favorite Metallica t-shirt.
But once they'd calmed down she'd motioned for him to lie down and had picked her violin right back up. Anni allowed him to lay their head upon her lap, and well, everything had been fine from there. She hadn't even complained once, something they knew was hard for her.
Anni really was trying her best for him.
“... Thank you, Anni. Really.”
“For what? For the great tunes? ‘Cause that's the only thing you can thank me for. The rest…” Anni paused, slowly turning a peg to adjust a string. “... It's what you've done for me before. Without a single fucking complaint, even when I'm bein’ a fucking bitch about it. That means a lot. So it's no big deal. I don't like seeing you upset, Sunshine.”
Oh.
They hadn't realized it had meant so much. Fresh Cut Grass had only been doing what they thought was right, had only wished to make her feel better. They didn't like seeing her in pain, not one bit. Anni deserved so much more than life had given her.
Everyone in this beat up little house did.
“The music is beautiful, as always. I saw a word a few days ago that I think describes you pretty well. Mel… Mel-li-flu-us? Mellifluous!”
“What's that mean?”
“It's a sound that's pleasingly smooth and musical to hear! Like your violin, or when you hum along to show tunes or just your voice in general. It's a very fitting description, don't you think?”
“.... Fuck you’re a sweetheart.”
A deep red spread from Anni’s cheeks, glowing as soft and pretty as the moonlight that filtered through her bedroom window. Fresh Cut Grass thought it only added to her charming loveliness.
“You are too, Anni. But don't worry! I won't tell another soul!”
“You damn well better not! This shit is for you and you only, got it?”
“Yes mam!”
“Uck, don't make me regret my soft spot for ya…”
Fresh Cut Grass laughed, and Anni couldn't help but think how mellifluous it sounded as well.
Fuck. She really was going soft, wasn't she?

Friday, April 12: Dio, "Breathless"
R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio (1942-2010), Jimmy Bain (1947-2016)
Ronnie James Dio sang with two major acts before striking out on his own, but the success of Holy Diver gave him license to fully unleash his id on The Last in Line.  And while the second Dio album was mostly a logical continuation of its predecessor, there was enough randomness generated by the man going all-in on his preoccupations and tics that something like “Breathless”, which began with a simultaneously bluesy and gnarled Vivian Campbell riff before Ronnie barged in with “No No No No No!!!”, stood out in all sorts of ways, not all of them good.  The track was a rocker driven by Vinny Appice’s blocky percussion and Jimmy Bain’s bass, with Campbell’s guitar more like window dressing (certainly a point of contention for the increasingly malcontent future Whitesnake and Def Leppard axeman), though of course there was no suppressing the power and passion of Ronnie’s growl, even if one was rarely sure about what he was really going on about.  “Breathless” was awesome and ridiculous in equal measure, and nobody would expect anything less from prime Dio.

Steddie fic idea:
Someone recorded one or a few of Corroded Coffin's songs and put it on cassette tape. (It could be live show, but the sound would have to be really clear)
In a shuffle, the tape gets played at a party Steve goes to...and he is enamored. He ends up paying the guy who played it $5 for the tape, and the song becomes his favorite.
All Steve has of the song is the one mixed tape. Nobody he talks to knows where the song came from. The record store was no help. (He is, of course, asking all the wrong people)
Steve is also very afraid that he will overplay the tape and break it.
Out of all the Tears for Fears, Abba, Bruce Springsteen, etc out there, *this* is the song that could save him from Vecna...but he doesn't even know what it is really called or who made it.
...
How funny is it that Eddie Munson wrote that song about some hot jock that he had a crush on...
