Rocktober!
It's been a few years since we've had a decent Rocktober, so that's what we we're doing now -- rock songs! -- with a strict three minute time limit (and you can rock out in three minutes, plus this will also help prevent listener fatigue).
____________________________________
Submissions MUST follow these rules:
1 - Encoded in either .mp3 or .ogg format.
2 - Strict three-minute time limit for tracks submitted this month!
3 - Entered into the contest by posting a DIRECT LINK (note: THIS MEANS A DOWNLOAD LINK) in this RULES & SUBMISSIONS thread (use the GOSSIP thread for everything else). If you cant provide a direct link, please contact one of the following people listed below, they will be happy to help you out. These people provide free hosting for the purpose of this contest only! They are not a hosting service. When contacting these people, please take the effort to understand the terms and conditions they provide.
Providers:
1 - knockman
2 - watto
3 - slartibartfast
In addition...
http://www.kara-moon.com/forum has offered "self service" space. Log into the forum to find out more.
4 - Submitted by early a.m. (US Central Time) Sunday, October 28, 2018.
5 - Your entry must be composed specifically for this contest (or, if a cover, arranged/recorded specifically for this contest).
6 - Your entry must be created with audio plugins or software studio.
7 - Your entry should have the FILE named in a format of "yearmonth_artistname_tracktitle" (eg "1809_SymphonyInEnamel_Wendy.mp3"), where the artistname is the same as your KVR name. Please do not use spaces and special characters in the filename. Special considerations will be given to those that have the hosting agent change the file name.
8 - If you are going to tag your mp3--and you should--the artist name is to be the same as your KVR name, and the title tag is to be the name of your tune.
9 - One person can participate either with one entry, with one entry and one collaborative effort or with two collaborative efforts.
10 - Every submission has to be tagged with:
a) used instruments (virtual and 'real')
b) players' and singers' names (if other than entrant; collabs are allowed, sometimes encouraged, but they must be credited)
c) origin of loops and samples, if they're not free of copyright (this includes CreativeCommons material; please read and follow the license of the samples and loops you use); naming the origin of copyright free loops is also encouraged, but not mandatory. Please only use samples you are legally entitled to use.
d) name(s) of composer(s) -- if an entry is a cover this should be noted in the file name and/or the mp3 "Title" tag as well as the submission post (not everyone reads the submission posts).
11 - If there are strong doubts about the origin of the composition or parts of it, the participant should have the possibility to send a project file to the moderator, who could give it to a trustworthy person with the right host to examine it. Important: the participant should not be forced to do it.
12 - No resubmissions without permission from the moderator, INCLUDING for time-overage correction. Please PM me for permission.
13 - Any tracks not adhering to these guidelines will be very naughty indeed. Possibly disqualified upon peer review. And at least mocked for all to point and giggle.
14 - Voting (members must have at least 20 posts to vote ... although contest entrants are exempt from this ruling) will run from the submission deadline until early a.m, October 1st. Anyone voting for themselves will find ALL their votes disqualified; any entrants not voting will also be disqualified.
If you have questions, send a private message to drapostrophex (that's me, Victor!) or ask in the gossip thread. There's a good chance I'll answer eventually!

Kick In The Head
Here we go again
You drive me stark raving mad you know it
You ain't much of a friend
Let alone a lover who will show it
It's a kick in the head
Every time you look at me like you do
It's a kick in the head
Every time I think that I'm really over you
I'm fed up to here
Back and forth we do this crazy dance girl
Sick of having you near
Ain't no way I'm gonna take another chance girl
It's a kick in the head
Like a bolt of lightning from God above me
It's a kick in the head
Every time you tell me how much you love me
So get out of my life
Don't want you for a wife
Don't want anything more
Just go and walk out that door
Repeat Chorus 1 and 2
Anyway, with all that out of the way, here you go guys. A kick in the head to kick off this contest.

No hurricane issues so here is the updated description
SGR Bass Guitar with Ampeg Head/Cab
Fender Squire running an RP100 pedal through a Crate Combo Amp. Vicious!
Drop Tuned for the first time ever which was neat. Thank you YouTube Video
Drums triggered with cube pads on a midi controller... Groove Agent Kit from Cubase 9.5 Pro
I rendered and mixed the drums a little.
Vocals: Always a chain of processing but nothing to drastic this time. Just wanted to get it submitted early.

I did all instruments and programmed the drums. Turned out to be quite large.
