PUNKFEST: 'Northern Line' - Original by Greeny

[Greeny]

Punkfest is a great choice! I'm back from holiday and ready to rock  

Got a lot of posts to catch up on...!

I wrote this one when I was 25, but it sounds much better now. All done on the MBR and played by me.

For those who don't know, the Northern Line is on the London Underground. I endured it for several years, and it inspired this song. This is a typical scene...

Catchy hardhitting punk from Tim the riffmeister !!

This gives me almost the same feeling as when listening to "Let it be" (not the song but the "get-back to the roots" attitude on some of the songs).

Great work Tim !!

magic tim, hope you had a good holiday, certainly sounds like you recharged your batteries.

Love the single note stuff during the vocals.  Normally, I would say something like that would detract from the vocals, but it works so well here.

Really flipping good.  That is a sharp guitar there, must by your Tele.  Great belting there, its all there, full out rock.  You make Oaisis look like a bunch of kids here.

Cheers, BB! The rhythm work is all Telecaster, but there's plenty of Les Paul on the lead parts.

Great punky sound loved it. Was on the London tube once going to my brothers I think, well any way was just standing on the escalator as you do, but was informed that Londoners don,t stand they walk and that tourists should keep up, just had to laugh.

This really rocks, Greeny! It sounded excellent via headphones, I heard all that great production well.

(I was once, a long time ago in London and I jumped in train at the Queensway station)

In Washington DC, you can tell the tourists on the escalators too!  DC has an etiquette of standing on the right, walking on the left.  But tourists don't seem to catch on--even with yellow footprints painted on every step.

The song: Greeny, you do anger and frustration very well.  I especially liked the bass.
