From the randomYimfiles:

"We're all of us spoilt brats with no understanding of the work it takes to make a life, and we all expect gorgeous {fantasy objects} to flock to us on silver spoons. Then we all become crack addicts and dive from tall bridges onto highways choked with rush hour traffic. Other than that, we're pretty much the same as most folk."

Okay, so I had nuthin' better to say. Sue me. Better yet, set me up with Sue.

Big grin, etc.

OK. I've got a wicked pedal point in the deep bass on F#. There's a big sine function on it so it comes in and out.

4/4 Is the basic time signature for all rock and roll as we know it. Which means four beats, repeat. As I recall that means the drummer hits on the first and third, as the core rhythm. Of course I'm just the support crew here, if I'm wong just tell me and I'll go and be about my business which would be pre-trashing the hotel suite for you, getting the bus washed, seeing that your luggage is secure and the mini bars are stocked. But things first, how would you like to be lit? Low house lights? Something in blue? Panning spots? A mirror ball maybe?

Good choice. Every startup band should play this song. but waht direction are you going with it? Straight Chuck or something farther out there? I need to know so I can choose the proper sonority.

Well I would. But that's because I'm an arrogant synthesizerist looking to demolish musical boundaries. But for strait Chuck I think a nice organ tone will do nicely for the flourishes.
