With this songI wanted to create a sort of rock rap style funny song about the Hollywood stars etc and how everything is surrounded by bullpoo and falsehood and this is what I came up with.

If you are American then please don’t take it to heart because it’s all meant in good fun lol.

My wife Kim sang the backing vocals and I did everything else.

For the musicians and technical geek’s

This song was recorded on a Fostex D80 8 track hard disk recorder and the drums and keyboards were recorded on a Roland MC50 midi sequencer synchronized to the HD recorder via midi clock.

The Drums were programmed in step for step to get it as human sounding as I could and the sounds were taken from a Boss DR5 drum machine.

The guitars were recorded with the same setup as most of my songs using my W.S. Custom Guitar and Marshall Jmp1 pre amp straight into the mixing desk.

The guitar solo was done with three guitar parts all playing in harmony with each other and the sound was created with a bottleneck slide on all three guitars.

In order to get the really high notes I had to take the bottleneck slide past the fingerboard and play above the pickups feeling for the notes.

This was something I have always wanted to try because I’ve personally never heard anyone else play a harmony solo on the bottleneck.
