Hey, sometimes you just gotta get down and get heavy. This started out as a sketch in Realband, but I had this riff in mind which I couldn't do with RTs, so I moved into Powertracks and played most of in the hard way. There's an acoustic rhythm RT left in, but most everything else got changed. The story-line might sound a trifle familiar? DON'T YOU EVER (MESS WITH ME)Just an evil Casanova, just a wolf that's on the prowl He stalked the bars and discos and at night you'd hear him growl That he was looking for a victim who was looking for a thrill When he saw this girl up dancing, he moved in for the kill Yes he did. She was dressed from top to toe in a cloak of flaming red And at the back was a little hood which she pulled up on her head She looked so cute, she looked so sweet, as she danced the night away But when she pulled the hood back, the wolf could hear her say "Don't you ever, mess with me No don't you ever, mess with me." Oh he gave his heart away Oh there's gonna be a price to pay He danced up close beside her. then he reached and took her arm He'd never seen a girl who could hold out against his charm But Red was not the kind of girl who ever lost her head She took his arm and twisted, til he howled and then she said "Don't you ever mess with me No don't you ever mess with me." As usual, very grateful for anyone who has the time to listen. Cheers, ROG.

WOW! Rog, this is a good example of the multi-layered projects I've come to expect and enjoy from you!
First of all, I like the way you seamlessly incorporate the elements of a fairy tale into a modern story. The elements works well in both environments.
I think what I like the most about this song is the way you incorporate hooky intros, outros and other accents. Most of us would be content to write a song that works at the basic level of chords plus lyrics, but you consistently find ways to expand the song to add a little more audio interest. Your songs are like an easter egg hunt, in which unexpected things keep showing up!
I also like the energy in this song. Maybe its the drums.. they always make me think of Genesis. I especially like the power that surfaces at 2:51. Chills.
You always manage to surprise and inspire me.

Nice one, Roger! Riff sounds familiar to me, but I can't place it. Maybe I just wish I wrote it :P
Very cool solo! And love that change up after the solo.
Loved everything about this, excellent!

Hard to find a place to start with this one. There's so much happening in a well textured and classy manner. It's hard to believe that one fertile mind can sit down and produce all this himself. It really sounds like it took a studio room full of musicians, engineers and a producer. Your workflow on something like this would be really interesting to watch. And then to base it on a 10th century fairy tale - how cool is that!? To top it all off your vocal and guitar performances are stellar! Yeah, we liked it. A lot. J&B PS Janice was singing unison with your tag

Nice one, Roger! Riff sounds familiar to me, but I can't place it. It reminded me a little bit of the Black Crowes "HARD TO HANDLE" It really sounds like it took a studio room full of musicians, engineers and a producer. Indeed it did! It amazes me that Rog can wear all those hats!

ROG...
What a great listen!
Since everyone is playing the "sounds like game" on this one... I'd have to say Warren Zevon. Dripping Zevon, in fact... both the write and the production (and vocal).
Dig that snare. Awesome solos! (Dig the delays).
Nice ooohs! Cool beatlesque bridge...
The effect on the outro lyric is very cool!
A lot of "cool" went into this (and a lot of work, I imagine). Excellent mix - nice loud.

You always manage to surprise and inspire me. Hi Pat. Many thanks for the listen and comprehensive review. The guy who I watched and worked with in the early days taught me so much. He always tried to make each section of the song different in some small way, to keep people interested. He said it's what makes the difference between a demo and a professional production and when you listen to commercial tracks, you can see what he meant. It takes a lot of time and effort though, so it's great that you noticed and picked it out. The drums? Yeah, Phil Collins and that legendary drum sound. I value that comparison more than you'll realise. Once again, many thanks for looking in on this one - greatly appreciated. Cheers, ROG.

Loved everything about this, excellent! Hi Dave. It's funny, but I wrote that riff whilst jamming at our son's house. We both thought I'd stolen it from somewhere, so I recorded a section and uploaded it to our YouTube channel to see if it would produce a match. It didn't, so I just decided to run with it! Hey, glad you liked the solo - I know you're a Tele man like myself, but I confess to using the Les Paul for that. Sometimes you just have to do that! Cheers, ROG.

J&B PS Janice was singing unison with your tag Hi J&B. Many thanks, you two, you really are too kind with your review. About workflow? Ry Cooder once said that he'd spent 40 years looking for a groove. That simple comment made a great impression on me and now it's where my workflow always starts. I like to spend a lot of time with rhythm and the way the instruments interact, often just on a single chord before the chord sequence is established. After I'm happy with the groove and the progression, the melody follows and then all the bits of ornamentation. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't and I think the important thing is to know when to walk away and learn from your mistakes, rather than waste time trying to rescue something. Anyway, so pleased you liked this one! Cheers, ROG.

Hi Floyd. To do the last bit first - glad you turned it up! It needs VOLUME. Hey, Warren Zevon - brilliant. My favourite of his has to be "Lawyers, Guns and Money", though I like all his rockier stuff. Thrilled that you made that link. Glad you liked the "Phil Collins" snare - straight out of the 80s! The outro is my old Syntovox again. I know it's going to pack up one day, so I feel the need to keep using it whilst I can. "Cool" is very acceptable - many thanks for that and the kind review. Cheers, ROG.

What a great sound!!! Really rocks! How did you get that big drum sound? Love the change from the rockin' guitar to the mellow, melodic part. One of your best, and that's saying something Rog!! Wonderful!! Take care. Greg Hi Greg. Always pleased to get your opinion and so pleased you liked this track. The MIDI drums are all samples which we've made in house and we've built up the collection over the years - some actually started out as 8 bit samples from the 1980s! Each drum is recorded separately using several mics and the result is then processed and heavily compressed. We make up a kit to suit each song and play the samples using the "DRUM SOURCE" sample player. The whole drum track is then compressed again using upward limiting, to take out any peaks where the samples combine. (Well you did ask!) Nice of you to mention the step-change at the end of the solo. The progression changes key and goes from an "E" chord to a "Cmaj7" with the guitar sustaining the "B" note through the transition. Glad you thought it worked. So, many thanks for the listen and the kind words. Cheers, ROG.

ROG,
I apologise for missing this one. I don't seem to have enough time to spend in this forum these days and the songs slip by pretty quickly.
As with everything you deliver, you emblazon it with your dazzling musical signature and seal it with a first class production. When I listen to your works, I'm always left wondering "How did he do that?"... your instrumental skills, your arrangement skills and your ability to produce are incredibly impressive.
Another excellent musical ride.
All the best,
Noel

Hello ROG,
Looks like we missed this one. So glad we got to it.
It's hard to come up with anything new to say after all the accolades this one has already received. What really caught our ear was the calm of the bridge in contrast to the drive and edgy presentation of the rest of the songl. That was a total surprise and sounded so good!
It's hard to believe one can find so many "contributors" on a small, innocent looking USB HD! There are many fabulous tools available to craftsmen of all trades. However, without the skill and innovation of the craftsman, the tools have few special qualities in their application. You are a master craftsman, my friend!
The manner in which you seamlessly blend so many contrasting yet reciprocally ingratiating components defines the creativity of your work and the execution of the finest details necessary for such an accomplishment.
In addition to all that, we really enjoyed this work of musical art!

Hi Alan & Di.
Many thanks for all the nice comments, my friend.
Pleased you liked the step-change into the bridge. Trying to get away with introducing a maj7 chord into a rock song is a bit risky, so I'm happy to get positive feedback.
Really glad you enjoyed the track.
Cheers, ROG.

Rog, you have produced a killer tune here! You have layered the guitars in an excellent fashion. But the part I enjoyed the most is the section starting at 1:40. It is here where you have taken the song to another level above most of what is heard on the forum. The amount of work involved on this is very much noticed and appreciated by me! Take care, Torrey.

Hi Torrey, What can I say - you're just too kind! Thanks for looking at this in such detail. The feedback is always very welcome, particularly when it's as positive as this. Many thanks, ROG.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
