I love musical collaborations

Sep 30, 2005 22:46

If anyone remembers, my pal Tommy from Vancouver visited me a few months ago. We had lots of rollicking fun, going out to pubs, eating kebabs and visiting Silverstone race track. We even found time to record some music seeing as Tommy is also a musician in two bands over in Canada.

Anyway the song lay unfinished on my hard drive for a while but the other day the boys from my "other band" Blood Money were here for a meeting. The meeting mainly consisted of Tekken 2 tournaments and Resident Evil strategy so I decided to make use of the guys by telling them to add some tracks to this unfinished song. They added bass and extra guitar respectively. Then we sat round and came up with some lyrics for Chris the vocalist to "sing". Then I mixed it all down in to a coherent mass. Tommy was very amused by some Brit terms so asked that the song be about a Slapper, and so that's why the lyrics are "questionable" at best. If you'd like to hear this mighty collaboration you can go to MP3Unsigned.com and even if you don't like metal, you might find it amusing. A most productive day, and this time those buggers didn't drink all of my coke.
