REVIEW: BY THE END OF TONIGHT: THE GUNSLINGER EP

The Gunslinger. Were there ever a more celebrated icon than you? In boots and belts of leather, your ever step is captured by the gaze of Sergio Leone; lead in copper shafts on your waist, no girl in your heart, Ennio Morricone in your ear. You are the hero with a thousand faces, for whom there is no sleep at night - only the darkness that hides your enemies.
You know nothing of the world of Marty Robbins.

Your hands are steady. Your eyes are steel. You pick up the controller, plastic with paddle, buttons on frets. Lo gunslinger, surely there is none that you cannot beat. You pick "West Side Boring," a track from BTEOT guitarist Stefan Mach’s contribution to the solo EP series. It begins:



AND YOU ARE UTTERLY DESTROYED. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? YOU REALLY THING THERE IS ANY CHANCE IN HELL YOU COULD PLAY EITHER OF THE METAL SHREDDERS ON THIS EP? It’s like the guy made a paste out of Golden Axe, dissolved it into tea, fired up a drum machine and dared the world to keep up with him. Good grief. EPIC! JUMPING OUT OF PLANES INTO FIRE! PROCEED DIRECTLY TO THE MOUTH OF THE VOLCANO!

Special thanks to Chris Ryan for showing us this video.
