Feb 2022 rock robo-riffing whispered collab
Ha ha, this was a bag of fun. Thanks @cblack! I should probably run it past you first, but in truth I just want to go to bed a FAWM winner; I hope it isn't too grotesque.
And with that, I'm going to count myself as having slumped over the finish line.
This is the least convincing rock vocal performance ever - probably the main reason is that it is late at night and I don't want to scare the children, my wife, or the neighbours. So Its all kind of whispery and self-concious, but sandpapered with distortion.
I had fun with the fake robo guitar riffing though - I didn't have the time or ability to learn the actual riffs, so resorted to trickery and subterfuge. The solos are intended to be fun and silly because that's all I can really do when actually playing.
They say I need a job,
and hit me in the gob,
but there's only one thing I wanna do:
Let's rock!
Drinkin', smokin', anything will do.
Give me some fuckin' pills too!
Let's tear this fuckin' place down!
Let's rock!
Sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll,
pour it in my fuckin' soul!
Party party, explore the world,
let's rock!
Laughin' in the VIP room,
listenin' to rock and doom,
no idea what the fuck just happened!
Let's rock!
"I'll tell ya a little fuckin' story. One night, around eleven, I was smoking a joint, right, and I saw the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. So I go and talk to her, and she's a fucking professor! Said she was really enjoying the after-party, social observation sort of shit, right?
So I asked her, "You're smart. What do you think is the meaning of life?" And she looked me dead in the eye, and I'll never forget what she said to me. She said,
"Let's rock!"
(Some sort of solo.)
Whiskey, vodka, gin'll be fine,
just so long as that glass is mine.
Guitar in hand, the lights are low,
let's rock!
Life on Earth is so much better
when your soul gets wetter,
R O C K
Let's rock!
(Outro solo.)
Let's rock!
Let's rock!
Yeah!
Fuck yeah!
Let's fuckin' rock!

Oh, the whispery vocals worked really well! It's crazy how constraints can help with creativity and make us come up with unexpected solutions that work really well! Amazing collab here!

I don't care if that's not a 'real' guitar. It fuckin' rocks! I also love how the delivery is so soft (the image of you trying not to wake the family with this one is genuinely hilarious) and that makes it somehow much more menacing and sinister than if someone was doing it in a traditional shouty rock way. The spoken word bit is excellent, the guitar solo is tonnes of fun, and yeah... let's rock!

Was not expecting this sound, but it really suits you, and you completely pulled it off! That guitar tone is great; kinda reminiscent of The Young Gods. Vocal sounds great and menacing.
I’d say that was a triumphant way to bag the win.
Which more importantly means…
GOOP GOOP GOOP GOOP GOOP GOOP GOOP GOOP GOOP GOOP
(Was tempted to keep going quite a bit longer with that, but I’ve seen sense and stopped).
@nadine Feb 2022
Exactly the kind of song I expected when I read these lyrics. The sound of the guitar is awesome with this voice. Haha I love the professor.
@richaaaay Feb 2022
This rocks! It’s so interesting how collaborations work. This is hardcore rock’n and not what I’m used to hearing from Brisk but man, he rocks!!! I am assuming cblack, that was your influence…but maybe not. Either way, it’s obvious you two both have tons of ability to F’n rock. You sure did here!
@cblack Feb 2022
Thanks Brisk! This made my day!
I didn't actually pick the robo guitar. Was surprised after listening when I read the liner notes.
Also, so cool that this puts you at 14! Let's fuckin' rock! :D

Indulgent-Check.. Rockin-Check … Attitude-Check yup this well done. I really just like the groove and oh yeah the Bass line in the break down is sweet. The professor but into the solo YES! This is so gutsy I wanna blast it at 11!!!
