Julio Rey – No Religion (Lead oldie live)
I got my kids a new computer which means I can now sneak in and do some primitive editing and add tolerable amounts of some of my boring pre-song patter onto these vids. I’m really happy with this guitar sound for the harder-edged older punky stuff when I play it unaccompanied. It’s kind of a [...]
Julio Rey – Glass Of Water (live, Coldplay cover)
Actually the first time I tried out a Coldplay song at church. It’s a bit of a train wreck due to my not knowing the words to the tune as intimately as I do now and guitar crapped out in mid chorus for a few seconds. Tried to make up for it by yelling. Hey, [...]
Julio Rey – 42 (Coldplay cover)
This goes out to the 300-plus people that viewed my train wreck rendition of Glass Of Water. It’s a punk-bordering-on-metal dismemberment of that gentle ballad about dead people by everybody’s favorite band that rips off U2 but sounds better than them anyway. Thanks to my fellow congregants at International Church of South Florida for their [...]
Julio Rey – My Favorite Football Team (live)
In salute to this year’s beginning of that great waste of time that is football season, here’s a country kickspitter I wrote 25 years ago after a rare second half collapse suffered by my New York Jets in 1984. Went over real well with the Dolphins fans in church today. Filmed at Intl Church of [...]
Julio Rey – Michael Iceberg (live)
My vacation to Orlando last week gave me the opportunity to hit a couple of open mikes there (blog recap to come). In search of a connection to the local vibe I played this tune which I wrote about ten years ago about this mad keyboard genius who entertained at Disney’s Tomorrowland back in the [...]
Julio Rey – Revolution In The Heart (Lead oldie)
The last tune on Return Fire and I guess it was also my farewell to melodic hardcore circa late 1985. Metal and crossover beckoned after, for better or worse. The words are still actually pretty good. The military trappings and revolutionary metaphor made this appropriate to play on the Fourth of July weekend. Intl Church [...]
Julio Rey – True Love
See, I really like to have the words memorized when I play at church because I look like a dork in this video peering over my guitar to look at the lyric sheet that was on the floor and which my man Juan Pablo Camargo mercifully kept out fo the frame. Nevertheless, I simply had [...]

Julio Rey – It’s Thru You/Better Off (live – Lead covers – YouTube vid)
Side one of the Lead’s first EP from 1985 performed on acoustic at church. I really don’t do justice to the first song, which Nina wrote (both her songs on that first EP just kicked – and they still do), and I loosen up a little for the second song which I wrote anyway. This [...]
