Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal & Milan Polak Release Charity Single
'Devil On My Shoulder'
Featuring David Ellefson And Thomas Lang

December 26, 2015 | New York, NY

Ex-Guns N' Roses guitarist Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal has teamed up with fellow vocalist/guitarist Milan Polak to release the single “Devil On My Shoulder”. The song features bassist David Ellefson (Megadeth) and drummer Thomas Lang.

The song is available worldwide on iTunes, Amazon and other digital retailers, with proceeds being donated to Road Recovery, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping young people battle addiction and other adversities by harnessing the influence of entertainment professionals who have confronted similar crises and now wish to share their experience, knowledge, and resources. In 2014 Bumblefoot spent time with the group in NYC jamming and sharing each others' personal stories on overcoming challenges.

“The song is about battling your daily demons that could be anything from procrastination to depression to drug abuse, and anything in between.” says Milan, who had seen a video Ron made for You Rock Foundation about battling depression, and the two began writing the song together via Skype sessions.

Ron and Milan have appeared side-by-side on multiple guitar comp and tribute albums since 1993. In 2011 Ron laid a guest solo on Milan's song “End of Time” for the Japan disaster relief benefit album “Embrace The Sun".

“Milan is a super-talented singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer” says Ron. “David and Thomas really brought the song to life...”

LYRICS:

Devil On My Shoulder

(Lead vocals - Milan)
Every day playing 'hide & seek' with my addictions
Every stain a drop of blood that's caused by self-infliction
Every nightmare, every dream, every wound a silent scream

There's a devil on my shoulder that keeps pulling me away
Feels like hell freezing over, getting colder every day
There's a demon in the darkness that is calling out my name
Tempting me endlessly...

Every hour feeling pain that no one else can see
Losing power, realizing that the joke's on me
Every try, every vow, a cry for help, save me now

There's a devil on my shoulder that keeps pulling me away
Feels like hell freezing over, getting colder every day
There's a demon in the darkness that keeps calling out my name
Tempting me endlessly...

   (Lead vocals - Bumblefoot)
   Everywhere I turn I face a wall inside a maze
   And slip away within a haze of contradictions
   It takes me down, I keep on calling out but no one listens...

GUITAR SOLOS (Bumblefoot left / Milan right)

   (Lead vocals - Bumblefoot)
   There's a devil on my shoulder that keeps pulling me away
   Feels like hell freezing over, getting colder every day
   There's a demon in the darkness that is calling out my name

(Lead vocals - Milan)
Tempting me endlessly...

There's a devil on my shoulder that keeps pulling me away
Feels like hell freezing over, getting colder every day
There's a demon in the abyss that is screaming out my name
Tempting me eternally...
