Red to Black - A song I whipped together last night

I call this one "Red to Black"
Song I had been working on a bit and finally wanted to get down so I wouldn't forget how to play it.

**just added 2 more tracks 3/13
"For Awhile"
I don't know how to describe this one. I basically just improvised based on a riff with dropped D tuning and with some luck it actually sounded like a song using a standard 4 part structure. It's different.

"Lucky 7"
A more upbeat song based off a Bass Riff I was messing around with (hear intro*)

Just guitar, bass, and a roland kit. Single take each, quick and dirty. Very dry and not polished or mastered in any way. It's me on all the instruments. It's basically improv on the drums and bass, the guitar I pretty much knew what I wanted to play, i had been working on the structure for awhile. All in all I got 9 recordings down of varying quality down in 1 night.
By track 3 "For Awhile", I could barely put the strings down at the end of the night because my hands were so tired...you can tell im struggling to hit the notes a bit by the end there. Anyways comments feedback always welcome, other than that thanks for listening :D
Gear Used:
Fender Strat (arctic white, maple neck)
Rolland Electric Kit (model no escapes me atm)

Effects:
Old School Digitech Rp3 (the yellow one ^_^)
Roland GPX rack unit for slight compression
Other stuff
4 Channel Mackie Mixer
Creative Fatality Gaming Headset MK2 for Headphones (works awesome for recording)
Software - Cubase
PS can anyone show me how to make a player in the thread?
I'm liking it. It's heavy, yet light, and I feel the unpolished-ness of it adds to the charm.
I do believe you can put soundcloud players in (media)*******(/media)
just replace the parenthesis with brackets

Nice work, I agree with Regorc, I like the lack of polish
This was great. I just needed exactly this after today. Is there any way I may have this chunk of chocolate?
I was expecting Chris Cornell's vocals to come in somewhere.
