Bar Fight

This weeks weekly beats is a deliberately idiotic bit of glam metal.
The intension was to channel Kiss or one of those bands that are always talking about people trying to take your rock and roll away combined with the tongue in cheek nature of The Darkness or The Metal by Tenacious D.
Our hero enters a bar (lets imagine it's like the Country and Western Bar from the Blues Brothers) and naturally puts rock on the juke box. This triggers a fight with the metal hating locals.
Naturally our protagonist always has a "loaded six string on his back" like Bon Jovi and proceeds to shred so hard he destroys the whole bar which he rebuilds into a metal loving biker joint.
For music nerds its made with:
Synthesizer V Hxvoc on vocals
Modern and Massive on Drums
Neural Darkglass Ultimate on Bass
Neural Nameless, Misha and Gojira on guitars.
Bitwig as a DAW.
Nothing fancy this week, all 4/4 no key changes dumb as a rock I IV V.
People who have followed my other songs will notice I've finally honoured my promise to Henry to write a metal song with a lyric about boiled eggs.
Lyrics
I cross the bar
Nickel in my hand
I want to rock
Jukebox at my command
Some guy comes up and tells me
You can't play metal here
And now the fists are gonna fly
You stop my metal you're gonna die
Bar fight
Bar fight
It's gonna ignite
Bar fight
Bar fight
Makes me feel alright
I'm on the bar
Time to make my stand
I'm cracking heads like boiled eggs
Pool cue in my hand
There's 20 guys behind me
and 20 up ahead
Pull my guitar from off my back
It's gonna be a solo attack
TIME TO SHRED!
Bar fight
Bar fight
It's gonna ignite
Bar fight
Bar fight
Makes me feel alright
There's no more bar
There's just a crater here
I'm standing in the wreckage
Blowing smoke from my guitar
These fools have learned the power
Of god damned rock and roll
Rebuilt it as a biker club
We only play metal in my pub
Bar fight
Bar fight
It's gonna ignite
Bar fight
Bar fight
Makes me feel alright
