My RIAA Rough Draft
This WIP is very ROUGH and RAW. Eventually I am going to clean it up a lot and apply some RAP lyrics to it that Slams the RIAA in a very Direct way. I eventually will have the final rendition as the theme music to a film, in which I intend to broadcast over the web, using Google, and Youtube, as well as many other sources. I might even leave in some of that 60 cycle hum and noise just to remind everyone that this is exactly what they are all about, a bunch of whining noise, with false claims about the loss in revenue that is supposed to be due to pirating of their copyrighted music. This song is a joke and so are they. Please keep yourselves abreast with as much knowledge as you can about the RIAA. There are a couple of links on the site that have much on-going dedication to the inner workings and external workings of the RIAA.
All work on this WIP is my own freestyle playing, except for the drums, thats the work of the Hydrogen Software. I'm using a crappy guitar with a bunch of grounding issues. Any of the original ideas can be expounded upon by anyone interested and who knows, maybe we can come up with a cool sounding Collab based off of it for those interested. Lots of tweaking will be necessary. I would like to keep the length a tad bit longer than most songs, say around six minutes or more. Like mentioned earlier, I am intending to use this as a background theme music to a video I intend to create.
Oh yea, I almost forgot. The image you see behind the NO RIAA sign is actually a mutated version of Jammin Jimmy. In case you didn't know who Jammin Jimmy is, he is the green guitar playing Jamacast Mascot found on the site player, and for my Avitar image. The RIAA must not sit to well with Jimmy I guess?

Rough draft
Yea, I remember this RIAA piece cos of its nice Hendrix-like jammin. I'm really curious, how your voice would sound on it... should have some perky, ironic lyrics.
In my opinion it's still too well-behaved so far - I mean, as a provocation it's not enough into-the-face yet: not much noise, drums are pretty clean, guitar played properly in key... but it supposably tightens when vocals have been added.
In terms of provocating I'd imagine a Zappa-style tune, kinda played in uncommon scales and using weird guitar effects. The following 2 minutes WIP is a try in this direction, so you see what I mean...
Over a slow (105 bpm) Jazzrock drumline I played a humble bass line (just octaved down guitar without fx) and a typical Zappa improvisation. Well, actually this is still far too harmless, haha, I should have used some odd guitar synthesizer effects...
Direction
I can hear this as a prelude background to a whole bunch of audio interviews of such artist in protest. Whereas this leads into a bridge, of a shorter version, bleed in, of my tune above. This would be where the RAP part starts in. What do you think of this concept? I think it would make for a good Music Video that way? I am going to spend some time researching out some cool publicly available POP artist protests for this idea.

The Original Spaz
Here is the original spastic version of this jam. I converted the wav to an mp3 mixdown. I remember doing this spastic jam very late around Twelve, and you can tell at the end it just kinda falls apart, haha, I actually dozed off in the chair real briefly, like nodding off while reading a book. I remember leaning way back in my chair and almost tipping it over. The Jam went on for over 11 minutes, I call that looking for the magic.
Groove On!!!
Orig session
Good old distortion - the more I listen, the more I like it.
When I was about 14 or 15, I convinced my father to buy me an electric guitar and an amp. Lousy cheap hardware, but it allowed to try playing like Hendrix or Alvin Lee in Woodstock. After a while I was dissatisfied with the amp's sound; it was a transistor model - no tubes. So my brother and me started experimenting with amplifying via old radios which of course weren't constructed for such use, but hey, they got tubes, giving a nice dirty smooth overdrive. The best results even occured after I had damaged the speaker a bit (scribed the membrane by a screwdriver) to obtain additional vibration noise. Your guitar here is pretty much similar-sounding, has a great retro flavour.
