Tonight, I’m Gonna Rock You (Tonight)
This is about a very specific type of communications, songwriting. And it’s about how something can be very good in very different ways and contexts. So, check this out.
I’ve had the idea lately that a twangy country version of Hallowed be Thy Name by Iron Maiden would be very cool. I’ve been messing with it on guitar, and today, I was playing the intro guitar in a chicken-pickin’ country way.
Well, the height mixing rock and chicken pickin’ is Elliot Eastman‘s lead on My Best Friend’s Girl. So, I probably had The Cars in the back of my mind. But then, from that same album, I could hear it …
Do you hear it? Two very different artists from different genres taking the same thing and making something great from it in their own ways.
Hopefully, someday, you can catch me singing Hallowed be Thy Name with the Shaky Walton Band in some honky tonk.
