Ive been in a band for 3 years and we play in bars every week but we usally play tributes by acdc so does anyone have tips on how to write rock lyrics because im horrible at it
Truthfully, and I know this sounds gay, right down what your feeling. your lyrics don't always have to rhyme, remember that. Just write what your feeling, or what's happening around you. There's no telling how many hit songs have been wrote by just doing that.
one thing that sets rock aside from everything else is the lyrics.i write lyrics myself for rock music.if you want to write music like acdc i recommend reading a couple of Zakk Wylde's lyrics from the album " Pride & Glory ."while i am only in seventh grade, i know my music.oh yeah here is my favorite zakk wylde song
Tell me what a young man Mama
What's he got to live for
Tossed in the shuffle of everyday war
Searchin' for some trouble
Which I'm sure he will find
Spend your whole life fightin' son
Meet your dyin' time
It's a shame
It's a shame
The trigger be his only friend
It's a shame, oh yeh
But it ain't never gonna end
He's a pocketful of hate
That don't give a damn
What fate awaits the machine gun man?
Well, he ain't got no future
And he ain't got no plan
What fate awaits the machine gun man?
I can't see tomorrow
And I don't see today
Trail of confusion done leadin' my way
They say the only thing worth killin' Lord
Be killin' time
I say the only soul worth savin' now Mama
Resavin' mine
It's a shame
It's a shame
The trigger be his only friend
It's a shame, oh yeh
But it ain't never gonna end
He's a pocketful of hate
That don't give a damn
What fate awaits the machine gun man?
Well, he ain't got no future
And he ain't got no plan
What fate awaits the machine gun man?
He keeps shootin' mama like any old fool would do
Lord, the life he be leadin' ain't the one he has to choose

Lord, the life he be leadin' ain't the one he has to choose
As he walks on out that door
Mama breaks down to cry
As she waves the machien gun man
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye...
