    Hi,

    I've uploaded my first song with vocals - no drums or bass - just guitar and vocals. Its a riff-based hard rock song that somehow goes on for nearly 7 minutes.

    http://www.myspace.com/killingfloor5

    Its the last song here - God-Shaped Hole.

    My vocals are poor but should give an idea of the song.

    The lyrics for anyone interested...they are fairly straightforward:


    What are you waiting for
    We get everything you need
    Just come to us and we'll tell you the life
    That you need to lead
    Oh yes there will be pain and suffering
    There's a difficult road ahead
    But take the other one
    And you'll go to hell instead

    Don't Preach To Me
    I don't want to hear it
    They don't want me
    To ever be free
    They say they only want
    What is best for me
    But now I can see that their lives are nothing but hypocrisy.

    I'm not looking to fill no god-shaped hole
    I'm not looking to try to save my soul
    Don't need to place my life under your control
    Just wanna play me some old-fashioned Rock N' Roll

    Don't worry about this world
    All that matters is the next
    No need to panic
    These 80 years are just a test
    Oh don't worry about your kids
    We'll get them when they're young
    We'll tell them how to live their lives
    And how to hold their tongue

    Don't preach to me
    Don't judge me
    On how much I can stroke his ego
    They say they only want
    What is best for me
    But now I can see that their lives are nothing but hypocrisy

    I'm not looking to fill no god-shaped hole
    I'm not looking to try to save my soul
    Don't need to place my life under your control
    Just wanna play me some old-fashioned Rock N' Roll

    They think they can think for themselves
    And are entitled to an opinion
    Oh we'll soon see about that
    Just need to suppress their evil ambition
    Like a farmer castrates his cattle
    Just need to suppress their sexualities
    Oh they'll welcome us with open arms
    And fight our enemies

    Don't Preach To Me
    I don't want to hear it
    They don't want me
    To ever be free
    They say they only want
    What is best for me
    But their own lives are nothing but hypocrisy

    I'm not looking to fill no god-shaped hole
    I'm not looking to try to save my soul
    Don't need to place my life under their control
    Just wanna play me some old-fashioned Rock N' Roll

    I'm not looking to fill no god-shaped hole
    I'm not looking to try to save my soul
    Don't need their false apologies for the the childhoods that they stole
    Just wanna play me some old-fashioned Rock N' Roll

    I'm not looking to fill no god-shaped hole
    I'm not looking to try to save my soul
    Don't need their archaic form of birth control
    Just wanna play me some old-fashioned Rock N' Roll

    Hey, had a listen to this earlier today, some great riffs throughout the song but the vocals let it down badly. also with a rocky number like this I also think you need to have drums and bass to really appreciate it. But I do love the riffage. You should get a band together and try to do something with it. Good luck.

    Oh almost forgot the metronome - VERY VERY annoying!

    Haha yeah that is basically the same opinion as me - I've tried getting a band together but its hard. Thats why this is just a demo haha. I've using drum programmes and am using them again now.

    Thanks for feedback. Just have to keep looking for musicians.

    Ya i Know it can be really hard to get a band together, keep writing though, so that way when you do get one going you're gonna have some music to work with already.
