Osama Bin Laden something something

Holy fucking 70s rock song batman


EDIT: It kinda reminds me of Audioslave "Show Me How to Live"

Hmmm.

It's 'Osama Bin Laden as the Crucified Christ'.

Also, this song has a jamming bassline.

this ones kinda cool

actually idk. If i heard that intro on the radio i would think its some shitty 2000's hard rock band not AM!. I feel Affliction bros would really like that one. Maybe they'll work on it some more.

Don't judge it based on what others would think of it or if you just heard it on the radio. If you like it or hate it, that's all that matters, we all have different tastes.

I love it. Flexin' some arena rock muscle...

I dont like Chevelle and Shine Down which a lot of people who wear Affliction shirts like. This song reminds me of that style. I shouldn't compare?

Idunno.
Its kind of cool at first then it gets really repetitive.
But it has potential to be pretty bitchin. It does sound kind of like that radio rock that they play on the Buzz and shit,, but maybe if I understood the lyrics and they developed it a little bit more it could be really good. Or really bad.

yeah im not writing off either of these new songs just yet. Remember how rough Teenage Anarchist first sounded?

Teenage Anarchist was perfect before it got studio time.

Still would love to hear the Goldentone demos for White Crosses.

I think these new songs are all sounding pretty great.

im talking about the first live performance where Teenage sounded really sluggish. The show where modern world was all reggae sounding. I wasn't into that

The Common Grounds show where they also played Hot Shots, The Western World, Rapid D and Lehigh Acres? Cos I loved how Teenage sounded then :'(

Still don't know why they put the acoustic version on Black Crosses when it had already been thrown on the 7".

Well with the 4 new songs they played that day they only used 1 of them on the album. So I mean the odds they even use these are low.

"Osama" sounds more like a band trying to sound like the Black Keys, but actually know their instruments.

Well they recorded all of them, except Hot Shots, with Butch.

I kind of like the way this song doesn't really sound like an AM song, cause its a little heavier and more sinister sounding....like, not really a sing along punk song but like a tear shit up song.

it's grown on me a lot but the name is what turned me off.

name it "Hang em High" or something

I agree.

if you name it "hang em high" i'm gonna think of the dropkick murphys every time.

Just what I was thinking.

Don't understand why people complain about titles. They don't change the song.

Definitely sounds like a heavy blues rock riff from the 70s. Like Johnnie Winter with a dash of Sabbath. Early Sabbath.

I complain about song titles when they are clearly just to draw attention, not just random.

When you make something named what this is name its just obnoxious.

Agreeing with Davy, titles are an extension of lyrical creativity. When the title is just to draw attention, it detracts from the value of the song. Just like when there's a stupid line in a song, it makes the song less meaningful.

This one, unfortunately, has a terrible title and terrible lyrics.
