rhumba beat backseat

the war drum shimmies

throws rhetorical punches to make news


but America is a well intentioned foster parent

who thinks a smack on the rear is a hellfire missile

sic semper tyrannus


aren't you worried?

aren't you worried yet?

better start worrying, asap

sic semper tyrannus


take me back to the olden days

not good or bad but just the same

was it as simple as black and white or just as grey

as today

the pros and cons are infinite

actions all deliberate

but the hawks and hippies bleed the same for it

freedom


just how much

will we give up

to try to save our own hides


this is the part I hate

the waiting

if I am to fight I wish they'd bring it on

enough of this shit

how else will the panic end?

how do we get back to normal

when the auld lang syne are lost and mostly dead

hint: never again


this means war

without end

our children's children will do it all again


fear not sweet police

your enemies are drawing near

but as pure as your intentions may be

they inspire fear

no more tears

please I beg of you

Rock on.

It's like sex for the ears, excellent job! Great meaning, great sound, great work.

Gunshy responds:

Thanks :) It's like masturbation on my part! lol

Longest song on my playlist!

This beats Machine Gun by Jimi, in under a few seconds! Somehow this reminds of a Jimi song. The distortion adds a late 60's early 70's rythmn and bass, with grunge lead, drums, and vocals. Overall a great song, however could use some contrast somewhere. It would have been better labled General Rock, as there's too much synergy in everything to be labled the controlled chaos that is grunge. However, it's still deserving of a ten because it IS epic.

Gunshy responds:

re-labeled general rock, because i agree, and mulled it over for a few months.

Great

Great epic long song. I don't see how this is a mess. It really follows the structure of an epic song where it starts out slow, then builds up really high, then drops and the builds up and ends. It's perfect. I wouldn't change it. You need to find someone who would sign you, because this is honestly a masterpiece. All it really needs is a really dirty (not low tuned, just not clear sounding) guitar solo to make it perfect. Keep up the great work.

Gunshy responds:

alas, i don't even really consider myself a lead guitarist in any respect.

moar tensz

TENTEN nice one

good, but there's an anoyin cliche here

it's the same problem with a lot of complex songs on this sight, not that well mastered, it just seems like one big mass. However, you can still make out the drums, guitar, and your (amazingly awesome) grunge voice in there, keep up the good work, just a little less bass would make this awesome.

Gunshy responds:

site. not sight.
thanks. i have since remastered this song, and i appreciate you ear to some of the very things i myself realized. this does lose a lot in the rendering process to accommodate newgrounds' size limit for audio submissions. thanks for the compliments on my vocals! and the 9
be well
