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.
