Barricades of Hate
1.Barricades of Hate
[verse]
There is a fightin’
Deep in the division lands
There is a cryin’
From a north and south hands
[verse]
Words of hatin’
Flow from the religious irate
Packs of troop movin’
To conquere another’s traits
[chorus]
Your side
My side
Whose side
Shall we break down the Barricades of Hate
Your truth
My truth
The whole truth
Lets say we break down the Barricades of Hate
[verse]
When we’re a fightin’
I can feel the tears of pain
Its not alright an’
In the end its all in vain
[chorus]
Your side
My side
Whose side
Shall we break down the Barricades of Hate
Your truth
My truth
The whole truth
Lets say we break down the Barricades of Hate
[instrumental]
[chorus]
Your side
My side
Whose side
Shall we break down the Barricades of Hate
Your truth
My truth
The whole truth
Lets say we break down the Barricades of Hate
[chorus round robin]
Your side
My side
Whose side
Shall we break down the Barricades of Hate
Your truth
My truth
The whole truth
Lets say we break down the Barricades of Hate

Guitar(s): Joe’s Guitar with Jesus paint job: This guitar has a Seymour Duncan Custom Custom pickup and a Cool Rails. It also has a Wilkinson Tremelo installed by Trev Wilkinson himself. Strung with Dean Markley Blue Steel medium gauge strings. This is the guitar used on the guitar solo.
Fender Guitar: my first guitar, the only original thing is the body. Everything else has been replaced or modified. Think of the Van Halen Frankenstein guitar only this one has a Desert landscape for a paint job. Had a DiMarzio at the time the PAF pro. Standard bridge, one Humbucker. Strung with Dean Markley Blue Steels medium gauge.
Ibanez Universe 7 string guitar: This is number 96 off the assembly line. I got it for $400 with the case, about 6 months before Korn hit it big time. Then the value shot up to over $2000. Seymour Duncan Custom Custom 7 string model – custom wound. Plus my middle pickup was custom wound by a guy in Canada, sounds ok, but I don’t have his name. Neck pickup wasn’t used on this disc but is the stock pickup. Tremolo was useless with strings this heavy – so I blocked it off. This guitar was strung with Dean Markley Blue Steels medium gauge.
The Amp Setup:
MesaBoogie TriAxis
Hush IIcx
Ensoniq DP2 for creating the effects
Alesis MEQ230
BBE Sonic Maximizer
GrooveTubes Dual 75 Poweramp that has been modified to be true stereo
GrooveTubes 2 x 10″ cabs – two of ’em for stereo tracking
I had a cross section of GrooveTubes 12AX7’s & 12AT7’s & ECC83 pre-amp tubes for the TriAxis
I had KT88’s on one side of the Dual 75 and EL34’s on the other side
The guitar cabinets were turned back to back, for the stereo effect
Bass(s): Honer V: This is the bass that was used on this song. A 5 string bass that was relatively quite cheap but records very very well. At the time of this recording it was strung with GHS Boomers as I couldn’t afford the Blue Steels at the time.
The Amp Setup: The bass was recorded direct. Unfortunately you live and learn.
Drums: Tama – The exact model is something I don’t know. But Andy played the shit out of them and it was his kit
Cymbals – Combination of Zilidian, and Sabian. Two of the crashes where borrowed from Jamie Borger from Talisman. Andy ended up beating the shit out of them too
Snare – this snare was borrowed from Jack White. Not the guy from the White Stripes, but the original drummer for Rick Springfield. Jack let us borrow a couple of great snares
Remo drum heads – I bought them for Andy. I wanted to have fresh heads and the drum guy from Guitar Center and Andy both recommended that these were the ones to use
Mics: Sennheisers for drum overheads & hihats
Sure SM57’s on snare and toms
Mic Pres: API
Vocal: All vocals in this were recorded using a GrooveTubes MD1a.
Song Story:
Well, here I go again. I really think hate sucks. But let me clarify that. I really think hate sucks when it’s born of ignorance. Too many people do stupid things to others based on skin color. Dumb, Dumb, Dumb.
Anyway, this is the first of several anti-hate-racial type songs I’ve written.
Musically speaking it’s got a weird swing lilt in the riffs and rhythms. It’s also from what I remember, the first song on the CD that I quadruple tracked the guitars in the choruses and chord solo. I remember Jeff Soto hearing and commenting on how tight my playing was. Meaning how in sync it was for each track. No digital editing occurred to get the parts to be so locked up.
Factoids:
1. The guitar parts that bounce back and forth were a pain in the ass to record at that time in 1997 with my limited recording knowledge.
2. Has a bit of a round robin vocal concept in the ending choruses.
