November Entry - ROCK HARD!

[rjfoster]

Well here's my entry for this month's contest.

ROCK HARD!

It's hot off the presses so to speak - i just finished up the mixing and mastering today. This song has been in the works for a couple of months though, so it's had quite a bit effort put into it.

This is the first time that I have written a whole song - and it was a BLAST! I have other ideas percolating in my DAW, so hopefully soon there will be another tune to jam to soon.

I've had some help with this one - from my buddies over at www.artistcollaboration.com - here's the credits:

Ootle ----> Screaming the Lead and backing vocals!
Rj -----> Rockin' the Rhythm Guitars, Lead Guitars, Lyrics, Music, Arrangement, Mixing and Mastering
NickT ----> Bangin' on the Drums (Loops - but they ROCK!!!)
Morse Kode - Thumpin' on the Bass!

And, here's the lyrics:

================================================== ======

ROCK HARD!
---------------

INTRO - (Guitar, Bass, and Drum buildup)

She's Lookin' so fine
She's Lookin' so tight
Walkin' while she's rockin'
On a Saturday night

Headin' down town
Gonna see the big show
Heavy metal rockin's
Burnin in her soul

Smell it in the air
Feel it in the night
Excitement is building
In the crowd tonight

The lights go down
and they're ready to play
Rock and Roll music's
gonna blow you away!


- - CHORUS - -
Because we
ROCK HARD!
In your city tonight
Oh yeah we
ROCK HARD!
'til the morning light
ROCK HARD!

In the city tonight oh yeah!

ROCK HARD!

ROCK HARD!
Rock hard With Les Pauls in your face!
We’re gonna ROCK HARD!
(Spoken) We'll put you in your place!


Standing on the seats
And dancing everywhere
Heavy metal rockers
With their hands up in the air

Diving off the stage
And thrashing in the pit
All this rockin' energy
There's no way you can sit

Cranked up Marshall stacks
Deliver screaming sound
Thumpin' bass and drums
Really make your heart pound

The rhythm of the music
Deep inside your soul
Brings us all together
’Cus this is Rock And Roll!


- - CHORUS - -
Because we
ROCK HARD!
In your city tonight
Oh yeah we
ROCK HARD!
'til the morning light
ROCK HARD!

In the city tonight oh yeah!

ROCK HARD!

ROCK HARD!
Rock hard With Les Pauls in your face!
We’re gonna ROCK HARD!
(Spoken) We'll put you in your place!

GUITAR SOLO

The crowd is chanting
Wanna hear one more song
We crank another tune
Gotta go before long

It's been a real party
Rockin for you here
Maybe if you're lucky
We'll be back next year

Headin' down town
Gonna play a big show
Heavey metal rockin's
Burnin in our soul

The lights go down
And we're ready to play
Our Rock and Roll music's
Gonna blow you away!


- - CHORUS - -
Because we
ROCK HARD!
In your city tonight
Oh yeah we
ROCK HARD!
'til the morning light
ROCK HARD!

In the city tonight oh yeah!

ROCK HARD!

ROCK HARD!
Rock hard With Les Pauls in your face!
We’re gonna ROCK HARD!
(Spoken) We'll put you in your place! ace!
