Chords for Alien Weaponry - Roundhead Studios 2016

_ My name's Tom Larkin, I'm an artist developer, a record producer and an artist myself as
the drummer in a New Zealand rock band called She Heart.
_ I came across [C] Aelin Weaponry mid-2015.
[B] I saw some stuff online, they had a crazy video, said a whole bunch of shit on fire
and I just went, [Em] I've got to work with these [E] kids.
They were [B] so good at that point that I want to know how this story's going to end. _
Tom's really brought a different [C] element to the table.
He's [B] really sat down, listened to our songs and thought, how can he make it so that other
people will enjoy listening to it. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ How much more metal is this track than the last track we did?
It's different, I'm more thrashing.
Sweet.
It is metal.
_ _ Well [Bm] so long as it's metal, we're not going to fight.
I wrote the lyrics to PC Bro.
It's about the way [G] society is today where everything [G#] is kind of [F#] analytically [B] correct. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
It's also about mindless _ watching of other people's lives on TV, celebrity shows and stuff. _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ Like. _
He's got a very straightforward, in your face approach.
And we like that.
But it's good, yeah it's real good. _
He knows what he's talking about. _ _ _
[G] _ Tom has said [B] there is a difference between [F#] constructive criticism and criticism, but
being hurt by constructive criticism doesn't stop it being [C] constructive criticism.
_ [B] _ _ If whilst we're trying to talk to [D#] each other, through the console, through the cans, and
one of you fires up on your instrument, [B] fires up a pedal or starts tinging on their drums
or anything like that, your name is then put into the shred jar.
And at the end of the session, whoever has the most amount of their name in the jar buys everyone pizza.
It's a high incentive for you guys to allow communication to happen [E] clearly and efficiently.
This fella will be [C] buying us all pizza.
You think that, eh?
Yeah man.
_ _ _ It's just coming through the left channel.
What do you say?
_ What's up?
Okay, shred jar's on now, okay?
Someone's buying pizza.
_ _ _ _ _ _ When you're in a studio, [G] it's really, really quite different from in the band room.
It's a [F#] real different environment.
[B] It really gives you the time to sit down with your guitar, play it separately from your
vocals and really just listen to all the fine details of what you're doing. _
_ _ I'm definitely hearing a whole bunch of stuff that in the band room I wasn't hearing before.
It's sounding really cool.
I think it's coming together quite nicely. _
_ _ _ _ In the middle section where you do that solo vocal thing, I reckon a different approach
when the guitars come in.
[C] You want that contrast.
You want to build something that allows us to drop so that when that next heavy section
kicks in, it crushes. _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] When I see alien weaponry, the [G] things that come to mind are a lot of that early 80s thrash metal.
But at the same time, they have [A] more of a modern [B] approach. _
[A] But one of the things I'm really excited [D#] about is actually seeing how it's [G] going to go in
three to [F#] five years.
Because as they grow [D] into adulthood, we're going to see some really interesting musical
changes, particularly [A] given the fact that they're so good at their instruments.
I'm really [B] looking forward to how it turns out. _ _ _ _ _
