BANK$TER$

[Explicit]

Description

This is a tune that originated with Airport Seven - starting with John's bass and structure. I added vocals and in this version I'm playing everything but the drum loops. Guitar - bass - keys.

The LIBOR crimes (scandal is too easy a word)inspired the lyrics. But then it could just as well have been JP Morgan losing billions or the rampant illegal foreclosures. It's hard to keep track.

Recorded fast and loose to be played loud - very loud.

	Great title The whole world is being ripped off by these shysters who appear to be everywhere. However, YOU are the real deal, Bud: rock on hard and true without taking prisoners. Cool track. Just played it on my new Sonos set up so it blasted through the whole house. Wow! Check out my latest song called Seventy-Eight

	a bit sophomoric I know the lyrics are in the blunt punk tradition. Glad you stopped by. Check out my latest song called fig field

	This is thrashingly great!I love the half time breaks in the middle and that nasty guitar tone. This is what rock n roll is supposed to sound like! Check out my latest song called I Could Write a Book

bud	bud said 302 days ago (August 20th, 2012)
	Thanks Mark I can't approach the tone and style you bring to the instrument. Thankfully there's rock n roll for the rest of us. Check out my latest song called fig field

TommyBlueBoy	TommyBlueBoy said 302 days ago (August 20th, 2012)
	Cool song This has a real late 60's early 70's Captain Beefheart feel to it: loose but somehow under control. Check out my latest song called Wonder If

bud	bud said 302 days ago (August 20th, 2012)
	Whoa Beefheart - that's really kind. Might be even a little to tight for him - needs more off kilter points - but I appreciate the comparison. Thanks for stopping by. Check out my latest song called fig field

billykirsch	billykirsch said 302 days ago (August 20th, 2012)
	Man The way this shit sounds in my cans I can't imagine how it must sound live... the distorted vox is fucking kicking ass! Q: why the fade out? I think the open ending sounds great too. Check out my latest song called Everything

bud	bud said 302 days ago (August 21st, 2012)
	Thanks much We're just working on this as a group - but I think this version will help solidify the masses. Now I just have to figure out how to play piano - rhythm and lead guitar at the same time - while singing. The fade was unnecessary I guess. Check out my latest song called fig field

sammydix	sammydix said 302 days ago (August 21st, 2012)
	BANK$TER$ shades of VU in the style. almost mono-ish, but kinda works. one of those tunes that would be great to hear live. Check out my latest song called House Terrace w/Yomar

bud	bud said 302 days ago (August 21st, 2012)
	Yeah I pretty much crammed the space with noise. There is a VU tribute of sorts with the hammered piano that's hard to hear. And a deliberate Iggy ripoff on the vocal treatment. Nice of you to stop by. Check out my latest song called fig field

	Sonic The intro really took me back to dirty sonic youth. You have the nack for creating great sounds that don't come easy. Regards Ed :) Check out my latest song called Living Dead Love Song in Z minor (HALLOWEEN 2012)

	Loud Sounds great Bud. This is some sincere rock. Love the heavy bass, the wailing lead but your box are what do it for me. I hear the intensity of Iggy Pop. Great recording. Thanks for always keeping it real. Your pal, Bob Check out my latest song called She Was Nowhere
