ZEMO72 'MOTHER' (Acoustic Danzig Cover)

The very 1st track I released after an 8 year hiatus. In April 2020 I taught myself, through youtube, how to record, produce, perform all of my music, and then how to shoot and edit video. This video was done using my old Samsung phone.

Draining the vocals of every ounce of power and then autotuning the shit out of it...but why lol

Because of so many things, but mainly, because I absolutely cannot sing. The only reason I even started performing this, in an acoustic trio, back in 05, was the main vocalist wanted a break, so the other guitarist and I picked a couple of songs to fill in, while that happened. And I was always the one who would try to convince the others, if we did cover songs, let's rework it, into a version no one else has tried. (I still don't think there's another finger-picked, acoustic version of this, with a Spanish guitar lead out there, but there might be a good reason, lol) 2. After I started back playing, from an 8 year hiatus brought on, because I had a complete mental breakdown in 2012, and walked away from every friend I had, I had to teach myself how to record, and this happened to be the first song I completed, because of not having anyone to sing any other track, I picked this one, to try to learn as I went. I had no idea what I was doing, (as it clearly shows) Halloween was in a week, and I thought, 'Hey, this would be a good song, to re-emerge in the scene, since so many ppl locally had seen me perform it live. But, I greatly overestimated how many ppl even gave a damn, that I was playing again. I've thought about trying to re-record it, as I still believe it's a cool version of the song. But, in the past 3 years, I've learned that trying to do everything yourself, is a non stop shell game of, "where do I focus my time and energy?"
And, FYI, hearing the vocal track by itself, with no music, is at least 10x worse. I listened to it a few months back and it made me sick to my stomach, that at one point, I thought that was acceptable. I thought that after I quit doing drugs, my judgement would be better. Clearly that hasn't been the case.
I do thank you for your honest feedback, though. I'd rather hear honesty, instead of being told, "that's awesome," when they clearly don't mean it..
