The Gun

[artokh74]

Celebrating the surprise save of my music files from a laptop soaked with the most persistent viruses I've ever seen.
Here's a bit of fun with an old strat and some (air)guns.  The last four minutes may be seen by some (most people) as pointless guitar soloing so you may want to skip that if that's not your thing

Save the word - it might be your last one
Don't make me grab onto my smoking gun
First shot it barely missed
Turned to a soft and tender kiss
These wide lines don't make sense to you

And that's me
With the guns aimed , they shoot to kill
Yea, that's me
With the guns aimed
To put you in your place

The queen said her life is a pure hell
With pearls and diamonds hanging 'round her neck
When she opens her mouth
There isn't much to write home about
And the lines are still not getting through

And that's me
With the guns aimed , they shoot to kill
Yea, that's me
With the guns aimed
To put you in your place

could just be my very dirty mind 

grand stuff.

I like the song.  Its a straight up rocker.

I do like the outro and you got some great sounds but I would have faded out somewhere before the end if it was mine.

Cheers,

Ian

You are right. I do have a four minute fade out edit prepared too, which I'm sure most people would prefer, but this take will be on my Neil Young/Crazy Horse- influenced rock album project, where most songs have unedited first take guitar jams exactly as they happened while recording. That's the reason behind this over-simplified drumming style too. 

Several of the Neil+Horse gigs I've seen have been among the most powerful musical experiences of my life, so I always wanted to make a tribute of sorts, albeit with my own songs, since none of them would exist if not for Neil
