But...me amp goes up to 11 ...

Here's some ass kickin' crunch

OK.. slow easy groovcs ... never did finish any vocals, but why?
First one was a demo to join Foghat... didn't take, cuz there was too many Foghats... Roger Earl had one., and Lonesome Dave had one... sent it into Dave's management, but he was sick (and has since died... what a loss!!!!).

Next isn't quite a demo, but rather goes way back.... everybody used to jam to 'daytripper'.. These things always morph into originals....Myles (April Wine) out east turned it into a real kickass tune "I want to rock', but me, i just added new grooves and kept it as a remake,, when i wuz in a band out west....

And finally...
when i went country (and i sure do like Atkins and Duane Eddy!!!)...i had a demo... learned a lot from my original guitar teacher, who became president of the country music assn of BC.. he showed me how to play Yes's 'Siberian Khatru' with both the guitar and keyboards parts at the same time (!)

OK fixed links...and wuddami doing with filesharing anyways?

Seeing as I got my own FTP site...i have no idea why all my links are even on 4shared... i will remedy this soon, then.... The crappy mix of 'eat this ' is fixed..now everything is gonna be top level (for a basement demo :)... as it shoulda been right off....
Hey,ya'll, new site, i know.. but if ya don't have a listen ya really ARE missin out.....
I warned ya....

Finally Joined Dime!!!!!!!!!!!

About time too... but i Still didn't find the boot that's got Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwan trading lix... (that's 'Kiln House in S.F. 1970', for you uneducated folks...)...
I doubt Bob's got a copy (Bob Welch has a cool website...ya gotta see it!! http://www.b*bwelch.com).. but i could always ask...
Anyone out there???
remember to replace the * with a o...apparently there's monsters out there in the dark....

Stuff....

While I'm gettin ready here i'm getting inspired by the Who... listenin to a submaster of hooligans... an old comp from years ago... really is a good mixin' training ground , you know... listen to baba o'reilly and you'll realize all the parts are basic... and even tho the synth sequencing is all over the map, it's only a matter of timing...as long as the timing's good, three quarters of all notes are gonna work :) ... Just lock in and it'll be all rite!!

CU soon .... Doc

I'm still here...

I know this doesn't look good... having had this blog up for almost a month, and no embedded music, or new links, etc... it's not a pro approach, i know.... ;(. Blame Apple and their unwieldy approach to their computers... resetting my permissions and restoring my defaults, so I can get some serious work done has been a long, arduous task... ohh, for an SGI workstation right about now.... For multimedia, really, there isn't anything else now, usable, for us po' folks, but macs, but i DON'T find them "intuitive" or 'easy to use', at least when things start to screw up!
Gonna bust a move , tho, to get things movin'... like... SOON!!!

Bad luck breather... Getting Busy!

Well..seems as tho the bad shit's taken a rest .. i'll be able to post again. Still learning how to embed lix on the page... it's a bit much to expect you to download something without having a clue of what you're getting, and only three entries so far, and , what, one pic ... hey man, i'm NEW...so gimme a break :)... This site's gonna kick Ass soon enough... I guaran tea it (offer not valid in NMW, CC and any other state with a little ole lady with massive honkers wavin a flag sayin "take mew home, pleez ").
Soon, Eh...

No music today..been in ..er geek mode..

just a quik post here...right after i started this blog...my windoze peecee got this... 'one of your disks needs to be checked for consistency' ... scasndisk ran for a very much longer time than usual while doing "repairs" ..
Uh huh you guessed it.... unreadable... two and a half TB of #s@8!3aª¶∞s¢∞¶ªºº-N6™∞§¶.
If that weren't bad enough, after a Quicktime update on the mac, it wouldn't load the os, and i lost all my settings (my prefs) and my permissions got all messed up... i have had to re-enter ALL my serial numbers and reg data for E_V_E_R_Y program as it would not read my old ones.. taken over a week to fix all this.. so posts soon , again... but, for now.....

And another......

OK here's one that requires copious amounts of alcohol.. (takes a break for a good tall glass of cider).
Well, I'm back... here's one of Doc Rock from 1999....
Usually when making demos, most musicians just put a bare bones thang on tape..some of us, however, like to make heavily overdubbed multi guitar layered opuses to show what we think it should be like ... hah.. we never learn..do we...
I ain't gonna tell ya what it wuz recorded on cause you'll never believe me... but trust me on this ..it's all pre-digital.
it['s a longer one at maybe 8 minutes, but it doesn't even have a lead lick until 5 minutes into... and it doesn't kick ass untill 7 minutes (IMHO) (Rock and roll is Rythmn guitar anyways... unless yer a killer lead player it's all just masturbation...).
Get good an drunk 4 this one... and CRANK it...
Sorry... no vocals
Hey copyright...again...but feel free to post it if ya feel....

OK first..."The Catch"

As promised.. heres some starters...
This first is called "Red Sunsets" from a band called 'The Catch" frum 15 years ago ... dismantled by a wild tall blond ex-model who caused us a lotta trouble ... but it wuz hot sh*t while it lasted (hey and the band weren't bad either :).
This lineup featured Charlie Wade (Mr. Smooth...) on drums, Will Cardinal on monster bass (Hi Will...) , Chris Sherlock as Rythm Guitar and Main Wordsmith / Singer, and of course Me me me me :) as Riffmaster and Lead Lix...
We walked into the studio and nailed it in almost all first takes.
It never got released however cuz the Catch busted up soon after (to quote Charlie... "You a Good Guitar , mon , but i not gonna be in a bann while your with dat woman!")
.
Here it is..,.

And , hey, duh... copyright reserved...hey? So don't mess with it...ya can give it away all ya want but we wrote it, ..and officialy it's copyright 1994 Chris Sherlock (hey why do the guys who write the words get all the credit?)

Uh... first post...

Been digging thru old boxes and have run into a lot of old recordings going back 25 years..
Many I thought were gone for good in a fire I was in, in Vancouver, at the Austin Hotel...

Hullo... I'm Doc Rock.. the Original ..been around playing for .. er... many years now..
I'm gonna post some of my stuff, some of the guys I've played with, or the bands they've been in, or whatever i think is just plain and wayout kool.

I'll leak out stuff about me, or not.. when and if im in the mood.. and/or about the folks i've played with..or not :)
More to come i promise...
