"Punkfest" - Placebo Shore (original)

[Geir]

I finally got rid of the "h" ...... no phunk here ....

Got another evening alone last night and put myself in a punk-mode ...

Two rotten rhythm guitars
One rotten lead
Two rotten vox-tracks
One rotten harmonica
One phat flanged bass
Mbr drums
waves against the shore

all MBR


(edit lyrics added:)

Placebo shore

I am a wreck
I can't take anymore
one more stone
(and) I'm at placebo shore

hey hey .. what am I ... I am a rock

I am a rock
you're the wreck
you're the foot
I'm the concrete sock

I am a stone
I can fly
I want a clone
so that one can die

hey hey .. what am I ... I am a stone

I am a man
I'm in a bar
I'm with the band
give me a guitar


hey hey .. what am I ... I am a man

I am a wreck
I am a rock
I am a stone
I am a man


I am a man


I am a man

another punkin' awesome track. You've been a man on fire for the last couple months! Everything you touch turns into brilliance. The waves are such a cool touch. I love the lyrics here. I'm with the band give me a guitar..... soloriffic. Excellent production.

Oh, man - This is killer!!! Way to push it hard and get every decibel possible. I love the widely panned rhythm guitars and the leads coming in just a bit narrower. And those vocals, absolutely menacing - Freakin' sweeeeeeeeeeet!!!

Yes - I love it.

Freaking awesome Geir...super Punkified melody!!  Lovin' it!

It reminds me of The Soft Boys and Motorhead all at once.

Very cool!

I havent been here for a while and you guys are getting even better.
Really, its amazing and it sounds soo good. I have been saying it many times but I probably will never find out how you could do such quality tracks with these little gadget. Very talented indeed.

[RMO]

a very hard punk track, like hardcore punk, really great!!

Great song Greir but I found myself clearing my throat and needing a cup of tea, by the end. Love that rough vocal delivery. Was that painful to do? If so, then thank you for suffering on our behalf.
Honestly this sounds like on of those instant classics. Get some kids in there yelling back at you, "You are a  Rock... You are wreck... You are the man... or some sort of call and response. You could have a new Punk anthem on you hands.

Great job Greir...

You are the Man...

I love the widely panned rhythm guitars and the leads coming in just a bit narrower.

Being lazy I've found a new way to make that "doubletrack" sound. Ok, the rhythm guitars where two different takes, but on the lead I added a tap-delay with 12ms delaytime and about 50 on feedback and mix. Worked out better than I expected!

It reminds me of The Soft Boys and Motorhead all at once.

Must check them out !! ,.... "The Soft Boys" that is, I think I know who Mötorhead is

1. I had two cups of coffee during the recording of the few vocal lines, so yes, it was not very pleasant ...and ... you're welcome
2. Hmmm now there's an idea
