bats brew Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 https://batsbrew.bandcamp.com/track/headin-for-the-weeds *Headin for the Weeds - my anti war rant. the whole 'war' section in the middle, was a blast to come up with. i just wanted cacaphony, and even tho i tried to impart some angst, it still comes off fairly groovy and proper, exactly opposite of what i was going for! hehe, so i just went with it. this was written about 5 years into the Iraq war. another sony ACID drum track. the drum groove was written for this song, but i liked it so much, i have used it in a more recent song as well, one of my "formula One trilogy" songs, called "Silverstone". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikfr Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Hi BB, interesting tune, lots of twists and turns. Every time I here a tune of yours it reminds me of Steve Vai's "Flexable, very well done. Nice tones from that Strymon, I just bought a Simplifier dlx, great fun to turn it up late at night 🤘 Rik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
