I play in a classic rock cover band Red Rhythm around Ventura and Los Angeles counties. I wrote an original song for us to play to announce "Last Call" at the end of our bar gigs. Take a look and let me know what you think. It is accompanied by a slide show to reinforce the lyrics.

All guitarists on this song are using Fender gear.

Guitar 1: 2005 Fender Stratocaster FMT HSS / Fender Hotrod Deluxe amp
Guitar 2: 70s Fender Stratocaster HSS / Fender Deville amp
Bass: 57 P-Bass

Fender Forever. Hope the clip makes you smile.

I really liked that. Loved the intro riff to it. I really do think that this is much better than the poppy trash that infects the charts at the moment.

Nice one

Great one!

Nice hook, catchy lyrics, outstanding guitar riffs......and I absolutely loved the video.

We might want to "borrow" that tune for our set-list. Who do we make the royalty check out to?

Hey so pleased you all got a kick out of this. Isn't the bottom line having fun playing music.

And nothing would thrill me more to walk into a club or bar and hear someone else performing it. If you play it and record it please send me an mp3 at nigelsp@synthzone.com cos I would just love to hear it.

As I also play keys in the band as well as guitar I also run a website for electronic keyboards called Synth Zone ( http://www.synthzone.com ) and one of the lounge musicians on the forum there is putting together a bluesy jazz version for his gigs. I am really looking forward to hearing the polar extreme from the AC/DC feel we use. Aint music fun.

that was outstanding.......thanx for posting and making my night...great song

Cheers
Bill

Very cool

Nice work.

definite ACDC vibe (a good thing.)

You should play the slide show on a big screen when you perform the song.

Outstanding! Love the song and video. Like the others said, definitely reminds me of AC/DC. Great riff.

We have been talking about this. Even though we aren't about to add a big ftatscreen to the pile of gear we drag around there is one bar that we play that has a big flatsceeen behind and above the drummer. So we are going to try feeding it video from a laptop. Because we'd need to keep sync to it we'd need a version with no sound ( or maybe just comedy sfx ) but a click to keep us locked in.

But this is definately something that we would like to add when we can.

Welcome to the Forum nigelsp and thanks for posting your cool song! The slide show is brutal
