Hey guys, I've got this idea for a song. It starts out with a slow little lead bit that I play, and then goes into a fast, 3-minute thing possibly in a different key.
BRUCE
Sounds like Man of Sorrows.
DAVE
Okay, how about this. This one starts out with a melodic little lead bit that I play, and then goes into a fast, 3-minute thing possibly in a different key.
ADRIAN
Isn't that Benjamin Breeg?
DAVE
Yeah, alright, try this one. It starts out with this kinda bluesy little lead bit that I play, and then goes into a fast, 3-minute thing possibly in a different key.
NICKO
Ah right! Sorta like Age of Innocence, right ya?
DAVE
No it's different...here, listen to this next idea. It starts out with a slow, melodic, maybe even bluesy little lead bit that I play, and then goes into a fast, 3-minute thing possibly in a different key.
BRUCE
That's Deja-Vu, mate.
DAVE
FINE! How about this: it's melodic and bluesy and then goes into a fast, 3-minute thing possibly in a different key.
JANICK
I'm just saying that might be The Man Who Would Be King...
BRUCE
Or something older. Prophecy, maybe?
DAVE
You guys just aren't giving me a chance here. Here's another. It begins with some arpeggio chords...
ADRIAN
Alright, I'm listening.
DAVE
...and then there's a little slow lead bit that I play that then goes into a fast, 3-minute thing possibly in a different key.
NICKO
Ah! That's Lightning Strikes Twice! I know that one cause I definitely played drums on it yes I did, boyos!
DAVE
Ok, one more try...this one's kinda dark and moody and ends on a big dramatic ending type thing...
ADRIAN
Now I'm definitely listening.
BRUCE
Me too.
DAVE
...but it starts with a slow, melodic, maybe even bluesy little lead bit that I play, and then goes into a fast, 3-minute thing possibly in a different key.
BRUCE
That's fucking Fates Warning, mate.
DAVE
Fine. I know when I'm not wanted! What do you think, 'Arry?
STEVE
All sounds pretty fresh and exciting to me.
That dave post made me laugh
