Hey people, here's another David Bowie cover, this time of his track "Lazarus".
The original song is normally in A minor, and I could sing it in the original key, but I liked how it sounded when played a half-step down (A-flat minor), because I had done a short demo recording a while back (which I never released) of the intro of Lazarus in the style of 90's Metallica (Load/Reload era, tracks like "The Outlaw Torn"), and since Metallica tuned down to E-flat in that era I recorded that demo in E-flat tuning, and really liked how it sounded.
Similar to with Elephant, the super distorted guitar parts (like 0:42 and 1:12) in the original were hard to nail with just amp distortion, so a lot of the sounds there are from extra distortion added to those tracks in the DAW after recording.
