Hi Ezekiel, why are some calling you Scott?
is this your nickname or real name instead of Ezekiel?

I was wondering, because of the 'golden showers', were you refering to Trump?
He also liked to be like Putin and both are mad as, as... whatever!

It's a nice angry song and, like Misha said, kind of punk!
Very good lyrics.

And Mario... someone will shoot that lunatic. Within a week! i'm on my way...

Good song Ezekiel Scott,
Hans

Thanks, Janne!

What's not to like about that?


Here's another verse for you.

A senile disaster in Afghanistan
A couple of laptops prove you're the "big man"
Bumbling into world war three without a plan.

I might just have to write something like this..... there's certainly enough grist.



I think you are on to something good. Write it. I can't wait to hear it.

Nice Grungy BAND.

Good attitudinal vocal.

I like it.

Good voice, matches very well with this kind of song.
In our country (like most European countries) more and more refugees from Ukraine arrive.
We listen and watch the news all day!

Rob and Anne-Marie, thanks for the feedback.

As unwritten rule, good punk music is often born in turbulent times. Thank you for speaking out and sharing.

Misha.

P.S. poo-tin does not deserve a "quick one", I think a lifetime vacation in a mine in Siberia would do him better. Perhaps a groupon tickets for his buddies too. Unreal how much pain and suffer he caused.
Two of my grandparents are of Ukrainian heritage. When I was 5, family visited my uncle in Ukraine. One of the best childhood memories. He passed away couple of years back. Thinking about it now, maybe it's for the better, not to see all this horror.

Thanks, Misha. I didn't know until now that you and I have a common heritage.

COOL song, nice edge to your critique.

Ray, you are right on about the millions. Thanks.

Man, you're not pulling any punches!

Some others have mentioned a punk feel. Kick the tempo up by 10 beats per minute and kick on the distortion pedal and it would sound like something the Dead Kennedys would do.

This could be something from the 'Rocky Horror' show, except without the 'Rocky' part.

Ha! Thanks, A.T.

Thank heavens your cousins from Ukraine are safe...
My heart goes out to them, and all the People suffering there...
I'm not a fan of most "Punk" music, but this is as good as anything from that genre I've heard.
I love the angst in the vocal and music...

Ezekiel,

Love that rhythm—pulls you right in. Great vocals as usual. Has a Bowie vibe for me, something right out of his 70’s catalogue. The Grunge Lead Guitar works really well. Some clever lines, particularly in that bridge with all the name-dropping. Good stuff!

Hope all is well in your world,

Deej

We love it! The older we get the less tolerance we have for many things, including dumba$$ery. smile

You’ve got a great band and mix for an excellent vocal and lyric and you sing with ATTITUDE very well!

“Megalomaniac man of the hour
Craving all that absolute power”

Great lines!

We hope for the best for your cousins too, Scott.

Well done!
J&B

Hey there, Hans. My name is Scott, but you can call me either one. You are right on about the content of the song.

Very cool punk tune. Loved the backtrack and instrumentation. I really don't understand the what goes on in peoples heads anymore. It seems the most extreme ideology is the norm today. It seems the left and right have become so polarized it is an automatic for one to disagree with the other side without actually listening to what they are saying. We are in a sad situation. Pragmatism seems to be lost.

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."
