Hello Folks,
I've been a bit quiet of late due to the abundance of new posts in the Showcase.The sheer number oppressed me as I couldn't keep up added to the significant number of new songs thematically linked to the current circumstances we find ourselves within: very good in the main and therapeutic/cathartic for the writers as well but those two factors combined were/are powerful.
Instead I worked on a couple of projects.
This one is, essentially, an example of my amp making the sounds it's supposed to.
I used a few BIAB guitar solos over the weeks but none seem to fit/grab the rest of the song. I posted in another forum to find a guitarist but encountered a chap who spend hours and MANY posts telling me the song was impossible to work on as it defied the basic rule of chord structures - the need for a root chord. The furore that came from that blizzard of posts ensured no on there wanted to have a crack at it so elsewhere I mentioned the issue and 1/2 a dozen people spent half an hour to prove that it was possible and not difficult.
The chap playing the solo on this version was a symphonic bassoon player and has been a 6 day a week gigging solo act for the last couple of decades.
BIAB provided the drums, as usual. Bass (Vantage), rhythm guitars (Squire Mustang & Guyatone 125T) and voice (AT condenser)are me. I'm not sure what Louisiana Steve used for the solo but it's definitely a guitar.
It's an Iggy late Stooges style trash/thrash song that is over very quickly.

Lyrics were requested. I was disinclined to post them as the grammar is appalling and GOT, a word I avoid as much as possible, gets quite an airing.

I've taken on FJ's suggestion and added a smidgeon of reverb to the vocal - a very tenuous position for a recovering reverb junkie...

Nah V2
AND it's finished, mastered and now THE video...

Clearly I can't manage to make a video appear on the page despite using the media tag thing...sorry.

Oh well...
Nah, Not A Bit

I’ve got a car
I’ve got a gun
I’ve got a girl
Now I’m gonna get some fun
I don’t care about anyone

You couldn’t catch us if you tried
Can’t find our past because we lied
Can’t read our minds because they’re fried.
Hell, that won’t matter once we’ve died
Won’t bother me
Not a bit

I’ll blow her mind
She’ll blow my mind
We’ll show the world
We’ll blow you all away
Don’t care what you say


You couldn’t catch us if you tried
Can’t find our past because we lied
Can’t read our minds because they’re fried.
That won’t matter once we’ve died
I don’t care
Nah, not a bit

Solo

I’ve got a car
I’ve got a gun
I’ve got a girl
Now I’m gonna get some fun
I don’t care about anyone

You couldn’t catch us if you tried
Can’t find our past because we lied
Can’t read our minds because they’re fried.
Hell, that won’t matter once we’ve died
Won’t bother me
Ha, not at all

I’ve got a car
I’ve got a gun
I’ve got a girl
I’ve got a car
I’ve got a gun (He’s got a gun)
I’ve got a girl
