Russ Aimzhttp://www.russaimz.comRock singer and live performer, writes original songs, debut album titled Cruze, which includes a cover of Fleetwood Mac's classic 80's hit Gypsyenhttp://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1Introducing The Red Bass Guitarhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/russaimz/mYNg/~3/z5vefJeE0g8/UncategorizedadminThu, 16 Jul 2009 19:37:31 PDThttp://www.russaimz.com/introducing-the-red-bass-guitar/Thought I’d better introduce you ~ This here is the bass guitar, that’s being kind enough to teach me how to play itself. Think I’m getting the hang of what the bass’s role is (i’m a singer first then guitarist, you see). Pretty much been working out the bass line for the past few days. I think yesterday’s session came out with the best bass line for Junkyard. Definatley makes the song sound fuller and much more pumping. Bringing a slightly different feel to the song and liking that.

It’s just music at present, no vocals or bass guitar recorded yet. Here it is in all it’s rough, unmixed and unmastered state. A work in progess.

If you recognise the drum sound, they are actually Mick Fleetwood’s from Fleetwood Mac. I bought some of his drum loops he was selling. Pulled them apart and then created the drums for this track and will create more for the rest of the album. Love his drum style and sound.

~ Junkyard Memories ~

The wind and rain water droplets roll up your windscreen
The dark stormy skies match your eyes they’re so mean
You’re drifting over you gotta stay in the white lines

Chorus
Well I found memories in your backyard
Is there anything you’re keep’n from me
Say someth’n out loud say what’s on your mind

The wind and rain has brought down the lines of communication
Between you and the world there’s nuth’n left now

Well I found memories in your backyard
Is there anything you’re keep’n from me
Say someth’n out loud say what’s on your mind
Coz everything in here looks like a junkyard

You’re nearly home but the tornados are back again
Circling around you don’t wanna give into them
You’re drifting over you gotta stay in the white lines

Well I found memories in your backyard
Is there anything your keep’n from me
Say someth’n out loud say what’s on your mind
Coz everything in here looks like a junkyard
Coz everything in here looks like a junkyard

This is an ode to the great artist. Saw this vid when it first came out, sitting on the floor with all the rest of the teens on the roller skating rink. They screened it on a pull down screen. We all sat in expectation, excitment and awe, just magic experience! Thanks Michael for your unbelievably great music. RIP
