Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: I never was, nor am now, a fan of Hot in the shade; sure there
were a few decent songs but as a whole I didn't like it much. That's why
I love this song. The first time I heard it was when MTV showed the video
and I flipped. Gene was back in killer form and the riffs were not of this
earth. This was indeed a Revenge worth the wait. The song is characteristic
for its lack of full power chords; there are plenty of little diads and
octaves but very few three-note chords. Nevertheless it creates a very big
sound due to the guitars and bass often playing in unison for the riffs.
Look out for the wonderfully strange 7 against 4 feel at the end of the solo.
And the solo is just right for this song: it screams, stings, spits and moans.
I was very happy to see Bruce go the more conventional blues box route on
this album (although this doesn't exactly fit that bill), I think it fits
him better than the 80's style guitar-hero antics he often got caught up
iin before. Oh, the E's in Rhy. Figs 1a and 1b are semi-harmonics. And,
there's an extremely obnoxious guitar (I've never heard such over the top,
bee-buzz-like distorsion before) that doubles some of the diads. Put on
headphones and prepared to be stunned.

UNHOLY
Simmons, Vincent
{Fade in and randomly pick muted strings}
{Rhy. Fig 1a}
{Rhy. Fig 1a}
I was there through the ages
Chained snakes to their cages
I have seen you eat your own
{Rhy. Fig 2}
I'm the cycle of pain
Of a thousand year old reign
{Rhy. Fig 1a}
I'm suicide and salvation
The omen to nations
That you worship on all fours
{Rhy. Fig 3a}
I'm the infection and famine
That's knocking at your door
That's why you're feeling so
{Rhy. Fig 4a}
Unholy
Oh, I was created by man, you know I'm....
{Rhy. Fig 4b}
Unholy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
{Rhy. Fig 1a w/ Riff 1}
I am the incubus
I lay the egg in you
The worm that burrows
Through your brain
{Rhy. Fig 2}
But you are the beast
That calls me by my name
{Rhy. Fig 1b}
You send your children to war
To serve bastards and whores
So now you know
{Rhy. Fig 3b}
You created me
On the day that you were born
{Rhy. Fig 4a} (2x)
Unholy
I was created by man, yeah I'm the Lord of the flies, you know I'm
Unholy
>From the left hand of power comes the father of lies
{Rhy. Fig 4c}
Unholy - Unholy!
{Rhy. Fig 5}
{Solo over Rhy. Fig 5 (3x)}
{Rhy. Fig 6}
{Rhy. Fig 1a w/ Riff 2}
I lay you down to sleep
Your soul to keep
Better cross your heart before you die
{Rhy. Fig 3a w/ Riff 3}
And now you know
Know that you are mine
That's why you're feeling so
{Rhy. Fig 4a (3x) w/ Outro solo}
Unholy, Unholy, Unholy
{Rhy. Fig 7}
Unholy!!
