SONG MEANINGS
Sweating Bullets
This is a song Dave wrote about being schizophrenic.
Countdown to Extinction
This song deals with people that kill for fun and sport. It also has
a quote in the middle of the song that says the extinction rate of many
animal species is"One Hour from Now, another species of life form, will
dissappear off the face of this planet forever...and the rate is accelerating."
High Speed Dirt
This song is about Sky Diving. The Term "High Speed Dirt" is used when
your parachute doesn't open. There are some sky diving scenes in the video
for Holy Wars. Other sky diving terms in the song are "Dirt Torpedo".
Psychotron
This song is about a robotic assasin that is not only a robot but also
a human, that's why they call him PsychoTron. I wonder if this has anything
to do with Terminator 2 or the first Terminator. (as of November 1st, there
is now a game for the PC out, called "Psychotron")
It is also based on another one of Nicks beliefs (such as his UFO beliefs).
In Russia, a biological experiment was condicted where a small chip would
be injected into the base of the head which would render the injected person
completely open to suggestion, and completely tolerant of pain. The idea
was to make some super-warriors who never got hungry, cold, bored or tired,
and they would do exactly what you told them to do. Even if half their
body was blown off, if they were still alive, all they would want to do
was accomplish whatever goal you told them to achieve ( i.e. infiltrate
America and kill the president ). Nobody would be able to stop them, and
they would make Russia all-powerful.
Ashes In Your Mouth
Ashes In Your Mouth is about the dream of freedom that some people
have, and when they finally achieve their freedom, they find that they
are worse off than they had been before.
GEAR LIST
This is from Micheal Kaye, the guitar tech for Dave and Marty and also
from the CTE Tour Book.
Dave’s Gear
Dave uses the Jackson King V guitar, made by the Jackson custom shop
in Ontario, Calif. His bridge pickups are seymour Duncan JBs, and they're
wired pickup to volume to output. The pickup selector and the tone knob
are bypassed, and the neck pickup is never used. I adjust the nut for Dave's
string gauge which is .010 to .052 D'Addario XL-147s. The ebony fingerboard,
24 fret necks are maple neck-trough with poplar wings for the body. They
have fixed Kahler bridges with no vibrato arm.
Amps
We're using Custom Audio Electronics' Three Plus preamp, which has
three separate channels, each with its own gain, master vol., tone controls,
and bright swtich. Channel One is voiced like a blackface Fender. Channel
2 is voiced like a Marshall JCM 800. Channel 3 is voice like a Marshall
Plexi. There's also a master section that has another master vol., a presence
control, and a bass control, and you can assign that to any of the channels
at any time. They're designed for by John Suhr, of Pensa-Suhr guitars,
in conjunction with Bob Bradshaw.
The signal goes trough the preamp into a Bradshaw/Rocktron switching
system equipped with Rocktron Hush noise reduction. Each guy has a couple
of Yamaha SPX-900 reverb in his rack. These are hardly used for tracking,
but they take care of all the time-domain effects live - delays, chorusing,
flanging, modulation, pitch shifting. Dave also has an Alesis Quadraverb
and he has a newer BBE, a model 862 is stereo it has a little more headroom
and is cleaner sounding.
From there, the signal goes to the stereo power amps. We have VHT 2150s,
Marshall 9100s, and MosValve 500s. Dave has four Crate 4x12 cabs two are
loaded with 50 watt Celestions, ano has 25 watt Greenback Celestions, another
has 75 watts Celestions.
Mics
Each cab is mixed up with a Shure SM-57 and a Sennheiser MP-421.

Marty’s Gear
Marty uses a Jackson Kelly, which is like an exaggerated, pointy Explorer.
It has 24 frets, a Kahler bridge, Duncan JP Pickups, and no tone knobs.
Marty's strings are .010 to .052 Dean Markleys. The other guitars he uses
: 91's Gibson Firebird, a G&L ASAT Classic, a reissue vintage '60s
Strat, and an '80s Les Paul custom that Marty for a lot of neck pickup
stuff. He has a Alvarez acoustic that he uses for bridge sections and middle
eights.
Amps
Marty has a similar setup : two Crate 4x12s with 50 watt Celestions,
one with Vintage 30s, and an old Marshall 4x12 with 75watt Celestions.
