I Won’t Back Down

I'm going to write a song called "I Won't Back Up." I've got two lines done.

My reverse gear won't work, what the hell can I do?
Has such a car problem ever happened to you?

 

Maybe just stick to your pithy bon mots here on Swampgas

 

No wonder Petty sounds so empty with a three piece.

 

Awesome clip on an awesome song - thanks Deathroll

 

What kind of machine does he have that can separate all the instruments like the guitars?

 

The volcano erupted, hot lava flowing my way
Without the reverse this isn't my day

 

You ain’t about backing that azz up…clean version?

 

I wish I was this musically inclined. Some people have a great ear for this stuff.

 

Gainesville’s favorite son!

 

I want one of those machines.

 

2 things from that.
First, when they isolate Tom’s voice, it’s amazing how good it truly is. The guy can sing.
Second, I totally didn’t even realize how much was happening with all the vocals and instruments. Jeff Lynne really did an amazing job with it.

 

My kid uses a looper when doing solo shows. He doesnt use drum beats or have prerecorded stuff which it can do. He just plays rhythym snd records as he goes, then plays lead over it. Keeps him from just having to strum all night. Not as fun as tge fill band but actually pays better, less work, and much earlier gigs.

 

It ain't music, but I find it interesting...if you like this sort of thing. And yes, it takes talent of a unique kind.

 

For sure. The high note harmonies! Great video.

Can The Heartbreakers play DT?

 

He must have the individually recorded analog tracks that have been converted for use in a digital audio workstation (computer software used for audio recording, programming, and production).

You guys should look up Tom Scholz and Boston. Amazing story of that band.

 

I saw Boston a few times... from the air, flying to and from Europe. Great band though.
