Layered Power

It's been awhile since I have posted anything on this Journal, but since the shakes are taking over my life one tremor at a time, i figured it be only crucial that I touch on a simple subject as layered music.

Layered music is basically the most FES and awe inspiring music ever! Let me clarify. Have you ever been listening to a terrible song that brings nothing to the table and all of a sudden the chorus hits with all of the members of the band and some other newjacks singing all at once? Of course you have! On the way to the liquor store for shooters you're probably cranking up your def leppard tape to 11 and joining in on the madness! What fellow freedom loving patriot wouldn't? It is such musical geniuses like Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, and Van Halen that have distinguished themselves from the amateurs and run of the mill artists by utilizing there ability to all sing at once and layer on the power if you will. So many songs could have been saved by just adding on a few dudes to the chorus! Think about it, Aerosmith's Love in an Elevator to be honest probably ain't that good, but out of nowhere between shitty lyrics there's a common whooaaa...whooooa yeah! Damn it feels good when your front row hammered drunk and singing along all while punching the air above your head with the fist that isn't pressing the shooter or bottle of your finest Tennesee sour mashed to your face.

I believe it was probably during the year of 84' that this technique was used by all artists who aspired to write such lyrical masterpieces like Pour some Sugar, Living on a Prayer, Running w/ the Devil. You can't possibly sit and listen to those freedom jams without adding your own shitty voice to the chorus or layered segment. I highly suggest to any person who would like to add a little FES to their diet start by doing so with some good ol' fashioned bottle smashin' tunes. Put on unskinny bop and let Bret, Bobby, and CC attempt to sing in unison and inspire you to get off your ass and to the store for some more shooters. Before you know it, you'll feel like a giant and your shoulder will start to swell as you stab the sky with repeated Tyson like blows.

So...take my hand, we'll make it I swear...whooooooooooaaa livin' on a prayer!
