Here is a very good example of what I am looking for, Another one from the pen of Dio, Children of the sea, by Black Sabbath: Children Of the Sea In the misty morning, on the edge of time We've lost the rising sun, a final sign As the misty morning rolls away to die Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky Oh hmm We sailed across the air before we learned to fly We thought that it could never end We'd glide above the ground before we learned to run, run Now it seems our world has come undone Oh they say that it's over And it just has to be Ooh they say that it's over We're lost children of the sea Uh oh We made the mountains shake with laughter as we played Hiding in our corner of the world Then we did the demon dance and rushed to nevermore Threw away the key and locked the door Oh they say that it's over, yeah And it just has to be Yes they say that it's over We're lost children of the sea Oh In the misty morning, on the edge of time We've lost the rising sun, a final sign As the misty morning rolls away to die Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky Oh they say that it's over And it just has to be Oh they say that it's over Poor lost children of the sea, yeah Look out, the sky is falling down Look out, the world is spinning round and round and round Look out, the sun is going black, black Look out, it's never never never coming back, look out Doesn`t make much sense, does it? But sounding amazing performed with a powerfull voice.

Rainbows, kings, swords, mirrors, you name it....... But I still find his lyrics quite suitable for the music. Telling a good story with a lyric is not very easy. I believe some of the best writers in that direction is to be found in the countryscene. And of course, by meaningless lyrics, I don`t mean "bla,bla,bla....." There has to be, as you mentioned, some structure and a hook.

I have noticed that most lyricist in here are very concerned about telling stories with their lyrics. I want to go the other way around, just put a lot of meaningless stuff togheter and make it sound good. The problem is that I have a personal blocking, preventing me from doing so. I can`t make myself write pointless words and make them sound good. The late Ronnie James Dio was a true master of this art. A very good example is the lyrics to Holy Diver. It`s just pure nonsense, but sounds amazing when sung. So how can I get over this blocking? Any suggestions?

What is your budget for an amplifier? And what wattage are you looking for? Stack or combo?

To my ears this truly beautifull song is finnished. The production is good, keeping the instruments to a minimum to bring out the strong vocals and the strong message in the lyrics. If I should go into tiny details, i would maybe redo the little guitarsolo between 1.chorus and 2.verse. There is a couple of tones in there, not sounding as good as the rest of the song, but as I said, this is a minor detail. Very good work. This is a song for airplay!

Purple rain - Prince

Walk all over you - AC/DC

OK. I guess you get my point.

I must say I tend to agree with Finn Arild here. As i see it the number one rule in a performing band is: When on stage, the drummer is the undisputable boss!

Here is a clip I made using the Gt8 direct into the onboard soundcard of my laptop: Everything you can hear, but the drums, is played via the Gt. Accoustic guitar, distorted backingguitar, leadguitar and bassguitar. This is made in a hurry, with a minimum of tweaking.

Enjoy your Gt 10. I have had the older version (Gt8) for some years now and am still very pleased. Have used it a lot for both recording and gigging.
