The footage is basically screencaptured from the game, not all but most. However i warn you, we are talking years from now on, most likely since i'm working way to slow. :-[
The song is ofc mostly done in memory of Eddie Van Halen, but i've always had in my mind that i want a big stage where bands do performances. (nod)
If you want to support, drop a dollar at the link in the ending. That will definately go to voice acting in the future, or perhaps a new drawing tablet! :)

Thanks, i worked on it for way too long (8months from time to time when i had the energy). :)

And yes, Zappa is with two girls in the car driving scene and in the audience with his sons  (laugh)

Maybe i should add to clear out some confusion (obviously some people don't "get it").

Joe Pixeliani = Joe Satriani, Surf Student = Steve Vai, Demented Old Man = Steve Lukather = One of Eddie's most famous real friend, as i understood it. So i wanted him to be in the video. In an interview with Rick Beato he called himself "what do i know, i'm just a demented old man"  :-D

More conceptual continuity clues: Steve Vai had Satriani as guitar teacher, and Satriani has an album called Surfing with the Alien (with the Silver Surfer on the cover) - hence "surf student". Vai played with Zappa for many years and is a family friend, actually the connection (via Vai's roommate) Eddie used to get Zappa's number in order to go visit him. Lukather auditioned for Zappa when 17 years old and failed miserably, but took it to heart and made his own career. He plays on (at least) one of Dweezil Zappa's records as a guest guitarist.

Yes, absolutely correct. Hence the Warning sign Guitarist jokes. (nod) And i also realised i actually missed the frontman himself. David Pixelloth = David Lee Roth.  ;)

Instead of starting a new thread, here's another one. This time it's more satire rock'n roll of our current influencer culture. Singing based rather then guitar solo stuff.
Verse 2 is mostly based on Swedens popstar Zara Larsson. I'm losing subs, my followers do not seem to like my jokes, so feel free to sub if you'll get a laugh or two. :-D


Rik_Vargard

haha that was funny and so true.  (laugh) And feels like 70's/80's!

I like the font, but when it come to all CAPS, I think another one could've been more readable and then with another color to insist on those statements.  :P

Thanks Rik_Vargard! Yeah, tha Caps were unneccessary. My only excuse would be that i guess i was so excited about my funny lyrics that i just had to CAPS parts of em'!
What color do you think would work better? I'm horrible when it comes to "design" stuff, like webpages or in this case a lyrical video!

I think i should re-upload the whole thing, cause people seems to turn off in the first verse and i have a sense it might be cause they haven't heard that i'm actually able to sing "decent", so will probably introduce the chorus vocal in the intro. "Famous and i'm smarter then you" and then guitar riff! So they know what is to come, so to speak.

It's beyond belief what the girls does for money these days. Example the "Package deal", Dongpic ratings, etc.
If we have any members of some "MGTOW" society, please help me out and post the song there, they would "get it"!  (nod) 8-)

Rik_Vargard

Well if you ask me, the color can stay the same if you like it.
And I like the fact that you used CAPS at some points, it's just that I think (it's just me) those moments need another font :p

AndreasBlack

For all you rockers out there, tonight is the premier of the "karaoke version with guitar solos & talkbox". 8-)
If you enjoy instrumental guitar rockin' without the lousy vocals from me. This is the version for you! In fact i will probably do all my songs as instrumentals, i think it's a good thing. I've been thinking a lot about the fact that it gives "real singers" a chance to sing and maybe collab with me in the future, so can't hurt to put it up without the vocals and just play the vocal melody on the guitar.
Rock On!




Rik_Vargard

So again just me:

- I really like the voice arrangements and video from your original version a lot.
- I myself grow up in a kind of "Punk Rock & Rock'n'roll" world so I like everything a little provocative when (again) it's funny and to the point.
- Again, so funny and so true; but nowadays people get so easily offended, disturbed or destabilized.

- As a karaoke version, this one is complicated to me because :
> I like the fact that I can create my own singing but:
> Some words are missing; do I have to improvise?
> There should be some , you know, little ball or word highlighting while the song is playing to know where I sing what.

Overall, I've learned this (but it's just me):

Whatever one creates, as an artist or creative person, one should be, at first doing it for him/herself.
Once happy with the result, the finished creation, one can share it with the world.

And from there on, you know, people will like or dislike what you created for many reasons and some comments will be useless and other will be constructive, and others will inspire... or not.  ;)  :P

Thanks for taking the time to do such a well thought out feedback! Much Appreciated. As for some words missing, either i messed up or i *****(censored 'em). Simply cause i do not want Youtube to ban my account for "inappropriate videos". Obviously Youtube flags videos that are "bad for kids" or whatever, and i wanted the "karaoke/instrumental version" to be able to be viewed by anybody, easiest trick in the book censor the bad words/take out the Willy/Bikinibabe. So i intentionally put the vocal version as a 18+ video, since the first time i uploaded it i got complaints from Youtube, locking the comment section "protecting kids", i believe it was Willy or Bikini girls fault, but it's hard to know, really what the Youtube algo's find in my video that was "bothering" it! I don't want my account taken down. Perhaps i'll put the uncensored karaoke version on another webpage where there is no censorship going on  (nod).

I've tried Bitchute dot com a little, but i don't know if it's worth putting the time into it yet, little views. Same issue as with Instagram. Feels like one is "shadowbanned" without even doing anything!  (laugh)
As for the ball jumpin' or that "true karaoke" feel, i guess i should have been more careful with the wording. It was more sorta as a joke, but i mean who knows. In the future maybe it will be a karaoke song. Since the lyrics are like you say. Very true, i doubt much will change in society, this is the path we're going down. Things will just get worse, onlyfans or similar webpages will probably pick up early teens/kids find some holes in the laws and use them "almost sexually" for their monitizing gains, leaving parents not so happy. Wouldn't surprise me for one bit!

As for improvise i think people can sing whatever they want, if they want to sing a serious own creation/lyric/melody they can do so. That's also the fun part with Youtube, that people can sing or perform over your stuff. Some harmonica player many years ago played over a tune i did, it was really cool and such a surprise! So i'm all up for people to sing whatever they want, but in hindsight maybe i should have added some "nicer" words for the karaoke instead of ass, grass could have worked, i suppose. It's easy to get caught in the "i should have done that" thoughts. I have been thinking about extending the guitarsolo in the ending aswell, but i cut it out! I was jamming like crazy, it was too long! Oh, yes i almost forgot. There are two bodybuilders showing how to work-out to a trance song i did back in the day aswell on Youtube. But yes, people and Youtube obviously get very easily offended.

I'm working on my last instrumental version of a previous song i did, then i should have enough rock based tracks for the soundtrack for my upcoming (in many years probably) game. "Max Fury". !




AndreasBlack

sooo it was a while ago but i'm back at it again.
Here's first a screenshot from the game.



and a new song sorta Prince, Lionel Richie & Jackson meets Zappa.
It's on various streaming sites aswell. Max Fury - Stick It In, add it to your playlists so i can make millions of dollars and hire the best voice actors for the game later on in the production! Thanks in advance! (laugh)

Just did a new song.  :-D Those whom might worry about the game. It is a little on hiatus, but once the summer is over usually i go into "game creation" mode (nod) I have roughly around 10 backgrounds left to do for my game. Then 90% specialcase animations and some walkcycles. Hopefully one day it will be finished :P

But anyway here's a little preview, release is set for 16th of August. Those who like it are very much welcomed to pre-save it. Might help the Algo, unclear weither it makes a huge difference but hey! (laugh) If you're into 80's cheese think 'Karate Kid' groups like Chicago/Toto/Lionel Richie/Michael Jackson etc then this should be right up your alley!

Here's presaves for Spotify or Apple music: Pre-Save
Hope you like it, no innuendoes or my typical trademark 'funny lyrics' this time, a little funny at best! (nod)
Edit: Full song below!
