this one took me a couple of days to get just right. i still need to replace the drum loops with my actual drum part. my buddy kevin elliot plays the little grandma shredding guitar lick and the very end of the guitar solo. i played everything else. i will be releasing this as Buzz Killjoy.
on the day that i turned six years old
that’s when i first heard rock and roll
on grandma’s stereo
she said she’d make me a big rock star
then she plugged in an old guitar
and grandma started to shred
grandma taught me how to rock
grandma taught me how to roll
nobody knows how she got so good
legend has it she sold her soul
grandma was an anarchist
she taught me mosh pit etiquette
she had a mohawk that was green
she started a fanzine and a band
she played CBGB with the damned
she was the best you’ll ever see
grandma taught me how to rock
grandma taught me how to roll
nobody knows how she got so good
legend has it she sold her soul

enjoyed this. lots of fun! I like the repetition of the chorus at the end.

This rocks! This would be a gas to hear live. Nice guitar solo too, I wanted more of it! Nice work! I’m still nodding head and the song has ended.

Yep..You've hit all of my buttons. As I said in a comment on your song Antiques for the future- "I made it past 30 twice". Sharing this one with my 8 and 6 year old grandkids.

I LOVE IT! All of it! Keep on rocking!

I think I know your Grandma! You learned from the best!

Oh my goodness, I love that solo so much. It was such good fun. The rest of the song lives up to it too - this was just a belter from beginning to end. There is something unhinged about the guitars - I love all the choices made: the chord sequences are interesting, and it just have a great tone. Very impressed again.
@pugetive Feb 2022
I like all the songs you've done but had to especially give props for the killer off-kilter guitar solo here. Nice work!
@timfatchen Feb 2022
I'm a sucker for this, I admit. Just a delight. "legend has it she sold her soul"! Love it! Let there be more! Just get them half-right and you'll be able to do twice as many for FAWM! There's 11 other months to clean them up in! +1 for the lead guitar work!

Fun, silly, energetic, and totally rocks. Kinda reminds me of some of PotUSA's stuff.
@kaminokai Feb 2022
Awesome! My mohawk was always blue or black or red. I never did green as much as I should have...! I'd mosh to this!

Great concept and I wish my Grandma had taught me rock n roll.
A well rounded power pop tune. I think adding actual drums would push it to the next level. Great work.
