While I agree with some of the arguments OWS makes, for government does need to get off their asses, do their jobs and regulate; your point is spot on. If you don't like corporations, stop buying from them. You only need to not occupy their stores.

Recording was, as usual, top shelf. I really liked the layered harmonies in the chorus. They were tight and fit perfectly. Your lead guitar solo was over the top ... the kind that makes someone want to spontaneously jump up and start playing air guitar.

I can see why hippies wouldn't like this tune. I'm not a hippie. :)

Thanks a lot Kev. :D
 
I had the volume turned way up in my headset - almost fell out of my chair.

If I want to go get a mohawk and a bone through my nose does that mean I liked it?

I'd love to see this performed on stage.... where the drunk audience can sing along "we don't give a fuck! Starbuck!"

That was fun ... do it again.

Lol. Thanks. I'm actually gonna do some gang vocals for that last chorus, so your drunk audience comment is pretty spot on. :D

We have a local bar here that does open mics on Thursday nights... this song would rule one of there events. When I played my TSA song there the place erupted in screams, laughter, and applause.... and the emcee told me, "you own it"... I can definitley see that crowd singing along with this one at the top of their lungs!!
 
So I log into HR after a couple weeks ( auto save in posts ? How long was I gone? :confused: ) and a Greg song is one of the first things I see. You're lucky it only takes you an afternoon to get that kind of production quality. Everything sounds good to me, but the cymbals seem a little drowned to me. The rest sounds fine, nice one.

Ok thanks dude. :)
 
Sounds great as usual. Anything that might sound "rough", sounds like it's meant to sound that way. Love everything about this.

Side note: The "Occupy" movement is a bullshit, fake charade. While many of us can agree with the whole "Federal Reserve, Wallstreet" part of ir, the fact is that it's run by MoveOn.Org, which is funded by one of the richest men in the world, George Sauros. So, there's definitely another agenda going on here. It's probably a fake movement that can be controlled and made to look legit, in the name of keeping any REAL protests at bay. Most of the footage is staged, too.

Thanks Rami. I totally agree. The the supposed basic ideology of the occupy "movement" has some merit, but the people behind it and participating are fucking retards.

Agreed with the sentiment about the movement - there is some validity to it all - and, there is a boatload of ignorance standing between addressing the real problems and putting on show. My first "protest" song was called American Refugee and addressed the government's involvement in banks, and car manufacturing - and how Congress uses the American flag to wipe down the printing press....

I was invited to sing this at the Republican State Convention, and it was hilarious because the song does not take sides between the two parties... but, they "heard" it as their own personal message.

The people are tired of being treated as a resource for special interests.
 
I like the guitar slide around 1:50 that's sweet. The sped up riffs at the end are nice too. Sounds great -
