Generation iDiot

After posting Still Called Scum on the internet I wrote a few other songs, mainly a load of crap but a couple of good songs came out of it and I posted them to a couple of people I knew to get some feedback from them and to see if I was heading in the right direction.
The thing about sending them to your mates is that they will do one of two things, tell you the truth or lie profusely just so they don't upset you or piss you off in any way. Luckily I have mates that will be brutally honest and they said that with a bit of work the new songs could be really good. I decided against posting them on the internet as they need to be worked on a bit before I did so and set about writing some more.
My changing of the chords on an acoustic was getting better, it still wasn't good as I was missing strings, hitting bum notes all over the place and still couldn't play a C or F properly. But I was going to damn well carry on and would get my fingers round those two bastards sooner or later.
I was playing electric guitar as well, swapping between them so that I could play on one what I played on the other or so I thought. Nope, i found it easier to play barre chords on the electric and open chords on the acoustic, I was struggling with  barre chords on the acoustic but was going to persevere.

Generation iDiot came about one afternoon while I was in a pub trying to have a conversation with someone who insisited on checking their phone and using it pretty much contstantly. Its pretty frustrating when you are trying to say something and the person you are talking to is texting or in this case updating their status on Facebook while in the middle of  a conversation. How frustrating and annoying and more to the point - bloody rude. The other thing that annoys me about modern technology is people taking ipads to gigs to film the gig. You're at a gig to watch the band or whatever not to stand there watching the entire thing thru an ipad whilst filming the gig - show some respect please.
I mean who takes an ipad to a gig ... this bloke obviously

Like the previous song, Still Called Scum, this was entirely played and recorded by myself, I even managed to work out some harmonics on the electric to give it some dynamics, rather than a straight forward chordorama thrashalong song.
