New Arsenal song

Hi Harris1135,

I'm in work at the moment and can't access myspace, (it's one of the few sites that our IT gestapo ban :evil: ) but I'm interested to know what the song is. What's the tune and the words?

If I e-mail you can you attach an MPEG version and mail me back?

BTW; Welcome to the Forum! 8)

HARRIS 1135,

HAVING JUST LISTENED TO IT A COUPLE OF TIMES, MY OPINION OF THE SONG IS THAT IT HAS STRONG AND WEAK POINTS. IT HAS A GOOD MELODY ALL THE WAY THROUGH; THE CHORUS IS QUITE CATCHY AND COULD EVEN BECOME INFECTIOUS IF LISTENED TO OFTEN ENOUGH. 8)

HOWEVER, IT DEFINATELY NEEDS RE-MIXING SO THE MUSIC IS MORE PROMINENT. IT MIGHT ALSO BE WORTH SCALING DOWN THE NUMBER OF VOCALS SINGING IN THE VERSE (SOLO SINGER?) TO DEFINE IT BETTER - AND YOU COULD KEEP THE FULLER EFFECT WITH ALL THE CROWD SINGING FOR THE CHORUS. MIGHT HAVE A BETTER ALL-ROUND SOUND TO IT.

LYRICS ARE OKAY BUT YOU COULD DO WITH AT LEAST ANOTHER VERSE OR BETTER AND MORE EXPANSIVE LYRICS ON THE ONES YOU DO HAVE. ALSO, IF IT'S ABOUT THE GUNNERS, THEN IT SHOULD PROBABLY HAVE MORE ARSENAL REFERENCES - ALTHOUGH I DO LIKE THE THEME OF THE SONG.

ALL IN ALL, A GOOD EFFORT BUT DOES NEED A LITTLE WORKING ON!! :lol: :wink:

P.S.

MY INVOICE IS IN THE POST!! :wink:

Thanks for that, you are not wrong, originally we have a solo singer, but I liked the idea of a crowd singing it felt a bit more true to life and a bit rough, we were a little drunk at the time too, we had such a laugh singing it, it would make my day if one day i heard the chorus belting out round the ground, thanks for the comments

IF ONLY I HAD HIS MONEY!! :roll: THE GUY IS A 24 CARROT CRUNT WHO HAS MADE MILLIONS ON THE BACKS OF OTHERS, YET HE HAS VERY LITTLE REAL TALENT OF HIS OWN - EXCEPT FOR BEING A KNOB!!

WHEN HE WAS FIRST IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS, HE USED TO INSIST ON PLAYING AT LEAST A TINY PIECE ON EACH OF THE RECORDS SIGNED TO HIS LABEL, SOLEY IN ORDER TO CLAIM SOME OF THE ROYALTIES DUE TO ALL THE MUSICIANS!!

BELIEVE IT OR NOT REBEL, I WAS BRIEFLY INVOLVED IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS DURING THE MID TO LATE EIGHTIES AND, AS WELL AS ONCE BEING A SONG WRITER :shock: , HAVE MANY MUSICIAN FRIENDS STILL INVOLVED IN THE BUSINESS IN VARIOUS CAPACITIES. 8) :lol: :wink:
