I've tended towards the dark side of rock here recently..... here's another tune fresh from the DAW. It's rock and it's not supposed to make sense. (recently quoted by David Snyder) I'll go with that description. If however, you can make sense of it, well, join me for a few beers and we'll solve the problems of the world together. So, here's the band.....and some details on the mix. Drums are rock southern even 8 Bass is 1759 Electric Pop even B3 is 689 Background pop There's 3 vox tracks with low doubling split R/L and lead up the center.... mild verb and slap back on the lead.... and just a touch of fixing on the lead. Doubles are raw. GUITARS: Me. What we have in there is one track heavy mostly whole note chords.... One track picked phased mildly cleaner that's about 30% opposite the heavy chords.... and then there's a pair of lead tracks spread varies on them depending what's going on.... tapping is close to center. Pick Your Poison Lyrics: I don't care what you say or what you try to do Are you simply acting paranoid or are they really after you? Every day's a new day nothing ever seems to change Do the voices in your head make you scream in pain? Standing in the spotlight, you forgot the words to say Realize this is real life and not some broadway play White or black, left or right, the choice is up to you Pick a side, make a stand you know what you have to do Pick your poison, what do you have to lose? Pick your poison, you're gonna have to choose Everyone is pointing at you you're the one they blame The red pill or the blue one you think it's just a game. Don't you know the devil's in the details.... pick your poison solo You can run and hide or stand and fight. or crawl into a hole Dealing from the bottom deck did the devil buy your soul The truth is hard to come by when lies are all around When will you realize you're standing on sinking ground

Very good old fashioned Rock and Roll. The band provided the steady beat. You provided the outstanding guitar. Great hook line and used well throughout the song.

The panning of the leads is really interesting...made me listen closer.
The vocal is road base gravel - loved it.
Slow, heavy and cool.
Cheers

"It's rock and it's not supposed to make sense. (recently quoted by David Snyder)" Haha. I can dig that. Sure it makes sense, Herb. A couple more beers and we'll know the world has no problems. hehe Lyrics are perfect and you sing them so well. I like how you do the vocal doubles, and the raw tracks fit perfectly in the mix and for the song. Excellent choices on the guitars too. Fun song!!

Mike, I did too... glad you enjoyed it Hello Guitarhacker Impressive That's a really great song And a cool voice It's really fun Well done Many greetings Andi ;-) Andi, thanks. I've listened to a few of your tunes.... cool stuff you have as well. Thanks Very good old fashioned Rock and Roll. The band provided the steady beat. You provided the outstanding guitar. Great hook line and used well throughout the song. JPT nothing like a good solid hook to make a song. Nicely done, the guitars are well mixed and played and the song has a very good hook. Peter, thanks.... and another mention of the hook. The panning of the leads is really interesting...made me listen closer. The vocal is road base gravel - loved it. Slow, heavy and cool. Rayc... I usually like to keep some seriously hard panning on the things in the background to add space and width. But.... I had to pull a few things to the center in a few strategic places. THanks for listening so closely Excellent song, Herb! Good write, great vocal, and smokin' guitar work, pretty much has it all I think, well done. Dave, much appreciated. I'm still working on getting a great guitar tone to the recording. Of course, I'm never satisfied in that respect.... Thanks "It's rock and it's not supposed to make sense.

Babu, thanks for the listen. Beer can solve a bunch of problems..... it can also create a few. The vox doubles..... by not fixing the ones that are down in the weeds, it adds more to the quality of the sound. You're getting the off key stuff with out really having it pushed in your ears and it just adds a certain authenticity to the vocal. Thanks again.

Whoa, 'Guitarhacker'!!!
After listening to your song I felt that you had grabbed me by my shirt collar and shook me. The song has an urgent feel, as though you were shouting from a rooftop.
I heard some fancy gee-tar playing, too, especially in those sixteenth runs in a couple of places.
Compelling lyrics riding on the back of music with some attitude made for a fist-in-the-air performance. High-five!

Whoa.......some tapp'n to! Well done! Moto...Yeah... gotta keep those finger skills up to date. Glad you liked it. Whoa, 'Guitarhacker'!!!

Compelling lyrics riding on the back of music with some attitude made for a fist-in-the-air performance. High-five! Bluage It is an urgent message. I think the tapping is actually much closer to 64ths or something like that. I've never sat down to try to figure it out.... but there's a lot of notes crammed into a very short time frame.... too bad I don't get paid by the note. High five back at ya! Cool tune Herb. Very cool vocal. Loved the drums in the mix. Guitars were excellent. Well done Scott C.... I think there's a slap back on the lead vox....and they are certainly doubled. The drums are basically real tracks with some EQ and that's about it. Much appreciated on the compliments. Thanks

Good ball bustin' rock. This would sound good performed in a bar or in a stadium or featured on a movie soundtrack.
Convincing vocal.
