Train Wreck

2025 RPM Challenge song idea number 20 becomes finished song number 13.

As the great Ian Gillian once said, can I have everything louder than everything else.

This mix kinda got silly as every level kept going up and up and up. It’s a fun song though, and I felt really good about the lead guitar which has been unusual on this year’s RPM Challenge.

Rhythm guitars are a Takamine F-400 S 12-string into a Shure SM57. The leads are a Gibson Les Paul Custom into a Dunlop Fuzzface Mini (the Band of Gypsies version) into a TC Electronic Combo Deluxe amp sim pedal.

Verse 1 & 3
Come on lets go
do we really know
We can’t forget
The level of threat

Chorus
We need more
We’re so sure
This train wreck
Incorrect

Verse 2
Come crashing down
Victims all around
And on it goes
As we decompose

Bridge
We lost, now what
We stand, we fight
So much, distrust
So much
