TOMBSTONE SHUFFLE
SONG REVIEWED: "Tombstone Shuffle"
OK, THIS ONE'S GOING TO BE SHORT AND SWEET. FORMERLY OF GREAT WHITE, TONY MONTANA OFFERS UP "TOMBSTONE SHUFFLE" AS HIS LATEST SOLO OFFERING TO THOSE THIRSTY FOR STRAIGHT-AHEAD HARD ROCK. THE SONG IS JUST THAT; STRAIGHT-AHEAD HARD ROCK. IT PULLS NO PUNCHES, MAKES A TOTAL OF ZERO ASSUMPTIONS AS TO YOUR ABILITY TO ACCEPT ANYTHING NEW.
DON'T MISUNDERSTAND ME; I'M NOT KNOCKING IT. I REALLY LIKE THIS SONG. THIS IS THE KIND OF MUSIC YOU TOSS INTO YOUR CAR CD PLAYER, FIND A NICE OPEN PIECE OF OPEN HIGHWAY, AND PIN THE FUCKING ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR....AND THEN WHEN THE COPS PULL YOU OVER, YOU CAN TOSS A BOOGER OR TWO IN THEIR FACES (ACTUALLY, DON'T DO THAT...IT TENDS TO PISS THEM OFF).
ONE OF THE REASONS THIS SONG IS SO APPEALING IS THE DRIVING BASS AND DRUMS THAT SIT BEHIND THE MAIN GUITAR RIFF... IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THAT DANCE MUSIC IS SO HUGE... ONE LISTEN, AND YOUR HEAD IS BOBBING UP AND DOWN. HAD THIS KIND OF SONGWRITING BEEN APPLIED DURING HIS TIME IN GREAT WHITE, PERHAPS THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN A LARGER FISH.
