Stefan,
A fine, direct rocker with some funlines behind the serious message, great energy on vocals ( as always) and an Amazingly Good production ... that`s just the song- I`ll watch the video now.

As floyd jane said - enjoyable, even through the credits. smile


Hi Dave,

thank you very much for your kind words - I'd be glad if I could make you forget the mess we're all in for at least a few minutes.

Take care and stay healthy,

Stefan

Hi Tangmo,

thanks a lot for the kind words you found about our song and video, Yep, the scene with the multiole 'mes' finally proofed that there are different ways to have big fun with oneself ;-))))...

Stay healthy - all the best to you and yours,

Absolutely hilarious video. I was laughing through the whole song.

Every thing about this production is beyond clever. I love the inflating rat at the close!

It's good to have you back. I raise a glass in hopes of better health for Maha. Prost!

Your guitar work is ACE. I'm impressed.
You've gathered a fabulous ensemble to act and match the ensemble that plays.
No nits, no picking but THANKS for the excellent entertainment.


Hi Ray,

wow, that's all very, very kind of you. I have to admit that I'm always a bit uncertain if a production may meet your requirements ;-)... So thanks a lot!

And of course your comment about the solos made me pretty proud - nevertheless I think your impressedness will drop once you know about my guitar playing these days:

In fact, I hadn't play guitar at all for almost 10 years, thus until I started to work on the songs and videos that you know. And since then I only grab one of my guitars when I want to add a solo to a new song (which is maybe 4 or 5 times a year). And then it's always the same: My fingers are stiff like a piece of wood and I'm lacking any inspiration what I should play. I have to rehearse for quite a while (until there's some cornea on my fingertips again, listen to this and try that. And then I finally start to work out the solo which mostly takes quite a while.

Yes, the times when I could grab any axe and improvise a smashing solo are definitely history. You might say that the speed king has become a lame duck, a very lame duck. But in my age one must be happy if he's still able to waddle a bit, don't you think...

But nevertheless I am of course happy when Maha finally says, 'That sounds good,'. And I hope you still like it ;-))))

Stay healthy, we all need your advice every now and then,

Stefan

GREAT JOB!


Hi Elliot,

thanks a lot for your very kind words.

Well, yes, it was quite a lot of work - I think I started more than two years ago with the song. But because of numerous interruptions (I produced other songs and videos during that time) I can't really tell how many weeks I spent on song and video at the end of the day. But they were quite a few, I'm afraid...

Take care and stay healthy,

Stefan

What to say? This is over the top good from the opening to the "keep your attention" credits.

Hey, you were cooking on that axe!

Maha did a fine job with the mix. It sounds great on the KRK's.

Here I am with all the time in the world and too lazy to make a lyric video while you are
creating an epic smile

Great playing, write, actors, animation, green screen and, yes, a good message. We share
your feelings all the way.

Kudos to you, Maha and the entire cast with the possible exception of the rats!

Loved it.

J&B

Irresistible subject matter, ingenious lyrics, fantastically creative video editing and production, more humor than you can laugh at in one viewing...man, you folks are just the best roadshow that ever traveled the User's Forum circuit smile.

Ms. Erndwein, your brief appearance and powerhouse vocal riffing was a high, high, HIGH-light of the video. Watch out, now, you're gonna blow-out that microphone singing like that laugh !!! Mr. Suessmuth, you lookin' sharp as the proverbial tack up there in those 'Sugar Daddy' lights smile.

Stefan, to watch you work over the strings on that 'lectric gee-tar of yours is a 'sight to behold'. Hardly anything in the world is more fascinating (to me, at least) than to watch a damn good instrumentalist show-off what he/she's got. Truly, you got mo' soul than you can control, partner!!!

Ms. Maha, from the bottom of my heart, I hope and wish and pray that you will soon be relieved -- completely and forever -- of whatever is messing around with your well-being. Clearly, you are the Sun that your husband orbits around, so let's keep that planetary alignment going long and strong smile.

Most sincerely & truly,

LOREN


Dear Loren,

I mean, you always write such great comments that one might think there couldn't be any increase - ha... This one really knocked us out, I'm simply running out of words.

You really made Maha's and my day (to be honest: more than just one day, man...), and we really are very thankful for those unbelievably kind words you found on Sweet Beauty.

All the best, dear Loren - stay healthy !!!!

Man, you guys are my favorite group in so many categories, Stefan. Maha and Peter are fabulous. Nobody has more fun, and thanks so much for sharing it. Such talent, energy and a brilliantly genius sense of humor. Definitely the best medicine.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hahaha - brilliant!!! This standard is par for the course for you, I know (having listened to some of your other songs, too) - but, for mere mortals like me, it is indeed something to aspire to and (in the best sense of the word, of course) be somewhat "jealous" of, haha. Anyway, the video made me really smile and the audio on SoundCloud is top-notch. Superb job!

Another funny rock'n'roll song, great mix and vocals, I like those backing vocals. Solo guitar work is also admirable. There is an important message and you have delivered it very well, almost in a satirical way.
Funny video showing lots of hard work, enthusiasm and love for music and actring.

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."
