Bumblefoot 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 Amazon and other digital retailers (iTunes January 2016), 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 other’s' 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. “Dave and Thomas really brought the song to life...”
