'This Isn't Hollywood' - New Gear Fest / Greeny Monday

[SE]

Well up to your always high standard, great tones all round, especially like the Beatlesque, piano, well played and well done.

I have to admit that because of Greeny i had to check out that Laney Amp Lion
It's clearly a good amp, but what makes it great is Greeny himself.

So until they'll make a Greeny pedal i'm able to hold my gas...

(That sounds a bit suspect).

I am equally impressed by the tuneage and the amazing tones you got out of this amp. Great jangle to accompany this super strong song. I must download this one when I am home and off my tablet.

I didn't catch the first version but I'm really digging this badboy. It all sounds great, killer lyrics and perfect playing. Really love the bass, I'm a bass whore and you always nail it every time in tone and mix on every one of your songs.

And after a couple listens I'm really loving that guitar solo at the end. Delightful and soothing.

A fan letter:

The thing about "This Isn't Hollywood" that I find poignant, is that there really is a psychological affliction that affects most people to some extent:

We feel and act as though they are the main character in reality (if not in all of human history). Hollywood makes it worse; it makes us solipsistic. We consume thousands of hours of Hollywood-style storytelling, and we begin to expect our own lives to have a character arc, and we expect the world to exist to support that arc and to tell only that story.  We become callous towards the world – those we don't view as the main cast or supporting characters – because they don't matter to the story. The most afflicted, people with personality disorders, barely accept that other people have their own lives at all. But each of us is somewhere on this spectrum.

And you shine a hard light on this affliction and deliver an antidote in the form of a catchy, digestible song.

I don't often get romantic about "the power of music" (I tend to view it as an addiction), but this is just great songwriting and music that skillfully delivers a message, without didacticism, irony, cheekiness, etc. It just delivers.

I'm such a fan of this song, I think I'm embarrassing myself.

A clever song and it's made all the better because it's got that greeny stamp on it.
Excellent performance.
That amp sounds excellent.

I could have sworn I commented on this... oh well, I am 63 ish.

that Laney sounds great but it doesn't sound that different than your usual great sounds you get!  But hey, what a cool thing for almost free...

I love electronics!  I actually really thought the orig on this song you did was superb... and I can't imagine this is an improvement but what do I know?  What I think is cool is that you wanted to redo it and that I can totally understand... it is hard though to improve on great.. maybe different great...

the site is better when you are near Tim... for many, many reasons... Cheers!

Great song all around! Love it.
