This is just a fun rock song, all tracks from BIB except the tambourine. The vocal was sung into a microphone from an old Panasonic tape recorder, then squashed in a compressor. The 391 metal guitar here reminds me of Randy Rhodes, like Crazy Train.

This is a good atypical 80's hair/glam recording. I think you got an authentic rendition. Enjoyed my listen.

I appreciate and am encouraged by the response, but I've pulled the song. Tomorrow my friend Bob Brigham is coming over, and he's a real rock singer. He'll have fun with this and do it justice. I'll continue in this thread after he lays a new vocal.

Yeh, I listened to the song in the car and could only cringe. Tomorrow I'll get my friend Bob to track it, the difference will be amazing. I can sing when a nerdy voice is suitable, but I can't rock like Bob can, and this song needs a strong rock voice.

My friend Bob couldn't come, so I summoned the rock and roll muse and did a new track myself. Be gentle with your assessment.

very energetic and fun song! Are you a Brit by any chance? Your avatar doesn't identify your location...

I liked the RT used for guitar decorations, it matched the song quite well and I can imagine a real guitar player playing that to your chords

The lyrics are consistently formatted from verse to verse, and that's pretty cool... but above the layout of the lyrics, they are presented in phrases that are interesting to hear and consider in light of the message.

If that version was you singing, I thought you did an admirable job of presenting the song in a way that works for the genre

The fade out was kind of abrupt... played live, a song like this could end for a full minute! But even as a recording, the most natural fade would be longer

All in all a very lively and fun song! At my age I could never get away with this topic... I'd be more likely to sing about Alzheimers...

Not Brit, Pat, I'm in New Jersey. And I bet I'm older than you.

Thank you Fred, I did have fun with the vocal once I was forced into it. I'm just learning the personalities of the rock guitar emulations in BB. In this song I have both Randy Rhodes and Billy Gibbons.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.

There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
