Goudie eventually landed broke and broken in Amsterdam in the late ’90’s and over the past four or five years has slowly put together the Grandpa Death Experience with chief co-conspirator drummer/multi-instrumentalist Carlos Manso. The bittersweet and often humorous lyrics trace Goudie’s struggles with substances and relationships. Goudie quips: “When a man is at the end of his rope, that’s when the shit gets really interesting.” The music ranges the doomish grooves of ‘Hell is Cold’ and ‘Heavy Load’ to more rock flavored ballads ‘Sweet Lenore’ and ‘Broken Heart’ to the punk goof of ‘2nd Chance’, which reminds of his time with Modern Warfare. Ron says: “I own these songs, I paid for them and they are mine.”
