Niko's solo

Story Behind The Song

While sitting with a week off from work, Niko began to write. He wrote more that week in that he had just moved and had his first place of his own. Having the time and space alone, he began to watch a video of The Freddy Mercury Tribute Concert and waited for the massive gathering of artists to inspire him in some way. During the performance of All The Young Dudes (Mott The Hoople) by Ian Hunter, David Bowie, Mick Ronson, Phil Collen, and Joe Elliott, Niko began to get addicted to the lead intro riff to the song. He played it on his guitar over and over, eventually changing the key to begin writing something new. He soon after changed his mood to something more dark and used the idea of the riff to write a more intricate version of the riff. The final product is a dark, screaming solo made up of a variety of scales and arpeggios. Niko, most proud of the key and chord changes in the song, became very pleased with the outcome. He recorded it. With intentions of later perhaps writing in a 2nd guitar part, left this original demo recording on tape...
