Desperado - Alice Cooper Cover Song Tribute

I know I've already presented a cover of this song, however, it was a live version which only featured me and my SG. This one is much better as it features a full compliment of instruments...including REAL DRUMS played by my cousin, Tim. We have only just begun to collaborate as we have a few more songs waiting in the wings. We hope you enjoy this one. Since this is a studio version of the song I decided to use movie clips for the visuals. Hopefully someday youtube will provide a way to post mp3 files in addition to videos.

this song was somewhat dedicated to john wayne gacy

[SilverHamer]

@TheRocketSilo John Wayne Gacy Jr raped and murdered 33 teenage boys and young men between 1972 and 1978. (Wikipedia). Alice Cooper's Killer album, upon which this song was included, was released in November 1971, around 7 years BEFORE anyone knew about JWG. IF there is any connection at all it would have come long after the song was recorded, and I'm sure the parallel was drawn by a fan somewhere and not the group itself. Gacy wasn't a cowboy, either...I'm just sayin'.

Another thumbs up but the same comment for the sung verses.

Sounds nicer with the strings. GREAT job guys

[SilverHamer]

@robbiedaug Awww shucks, and I DID do my best on the vox on this one because I wasn't really goofing around this time. LOL Thanks for the thumbs-up just the same. Strings were played on my Yamaha keyboard, bass on my Johnson 3/4 scale bass guitar, and guitars on my Gibson SG...Drums provided by Tim Grogg on a set of Pearls.

@SilverHamer ok I did a little more research, your right it doesn't add up , although he was a killer and did dress as a clown . turns out Desperado by the Eagles was supposedly his favorite song... somewhere along the lines the group, song , killer , clown,, thing got twisted up .

thanks for bringing it to my attention so I don't spread something silly.
