Here you go - and just for fun. I borrowed some lyrics from an old song of mine - verses were written by Kerim Jones.

I recorded the vocals three weeks ago, and my doctor is reasonably confident there is no lasting damage to my vocal cords. My neighbours hope there might be. Had a heap of fun though!

Burn Burn Burn


And we don’t want your scorn, We don’t want your lie
Ever since we were born, We’ve seen it in your eyes
And we don’t want your stories, We don’t want your war
We don’t want your glories, And we don’t know what you’re for

And we don’t want to be told, And we don’t want no rules
Just because you’re old, Don’t mean we are fools
And we don’t need your teaching, And we don’t need your schools
We don’t like your preaching, And we are not your fools

Welcome to your worst nightmare
Burn burn burn burn burn
You’ll never wake up
You can’t escape from us
So burn burn burn burn burn

And we don’t like your bloody days, And we hate your bloody nights
We want you to fade away, We want to do what’s right
And we don’t like the way you look, And we don’t like what you do
We know you don’t give a damn, We don’t give a damn for you

Hi Bill!

I like your song! It has this youthful feeling too it. The lead guitar could be dirtier but the riffs are just right.
I can't help but to think the lyrics are inspired by the old horror movie The Burning but that's just me.

Good luck in the competition,
Martin

Yo Bill.

That's a great riff you got going.

Love the psychedelic bridge at 1.40 and the drop back into the punk feel.

Great vocals man,it has brought out your inner punk beast!

A fine interpretation.  8)

Well if this is any example of what's in store from the contest - we're in for a treat.  ;D ;D
Great guitar riff - angry vocals.
Suits the drum track to a T

God - I was half asleep when I started listening to this - the drum pounding my head - but I like it - fun comes across - very rallying -good old fashioned aggression

Real war cry stuff - try and go back to sleep now

New wave vibe with a nice bit of guitar going on.
Great bit of retro fun.

Cracking guitar work on this one, lovely punky twang going on.
Really spearing the golden generation with those lyrics!

Really love the vocal effects in the break down there, good contrast provided by them.

I am wondering if anyone is gonna put a nice love song to this drum track at some point....mmmm  ::)

Great stuff!

Hi Bill,

This made me think of Sham 69.
Very cool punk vibe.

Strong riff - loved the tone.

Vocal fits well.

Nice middle section.

Absolutely brilliant Bill. I've never heard you sing  like this before. You've got the whole vibe nailed down 100% There is also some clever production stuff going on here which makes a very good track a very very good track. Sometimes doing something out of your comfort zone gIves you a totally different perspective. Anyway I absolutely loved it and will shut up now  8)

Flippin' brill!
I was grinning all over.
Quite a departure for you but you should do more like it!  Like Digger said, you're channelling Sham 69 here.  Loved it.
It's all too beautiful.

Love that nice, bouncy intro riff.

Yeah shammy attitude in the verses but more metal in the chorus. Goes together well though.

Nice sound for that solo....and good stuff where it leads into that trippy breakdown bit which is great.

Listening again reminded of somebody in the chorus but can't pin it down...it's the vocal I think...

Great entry Bill...really let it go here....lots of energy..with that drum track difficult not to! You must be tired now....got your voice back yet?

Nice one!
Take it easy.

You got that vintage punk sound down. Very cool. Very English sounding to my American ears, a very good thing. We love it when you say bloody. Haha. Glad you put that in there. You nailed it.

This sounds fantastically authentic as a Punk track - but I really like the slight Country slant with the guitar

I also really like the "psychedelic" section before coming back with a punch back to the punk

Some of the sections make a perfect "drinking song"

My only suggestion would be to make the different sections a little more obvious as I got a bit lost with the structure - although I completely understand that the punk vibe you were going for was 100% all the time, which still works

Great interpretation!

Once upon a time, when I was young and had lots of energy, I could have sung a song like this and meant it, but these days I'm content to listen to someone else get all wound up about things. Reminds me of my college days. <sigh> No nits.
