I WANT TO BE BLACK!
Hey, I like this. Keep up the good work! If ever you're in the UK, let me know and I'll come down to a gig!
Where should I start? Vocals sound a lot like Anthony Kiedis, and that is meant in the best way. I'm a big Chili Peppers fan. Amazing Funk tune musically, but the lyrics are the kicker. A very brave - not stupid - and honest celebration of music in its various forms across the beautiful spectrum of human culture. I almost felt I had discovered an mp3u alter ego of myself when I stumbled upon this song and artist. Although I'm nowhere near as talented, I share the same views about versatility and resistance to the pigeonholing of artists (Picasso could do abstract cubism or photorealistic oil painting if the mood took him). I've uploaded Techno, Metal, Punk, Funk, Hiphop, Trad, and I couldn't care less about fitting one genre. Love it all! You have my rating, sir.
lol! Well you can't be! Good song this......like the chorus and the playing's all on the money.....I think the mix is a bit dry. Kevin Mooney

GYeah, I can dig it. Has Chili feel with a little P-funk for good measure. Bass could be up in the mix but that's just me... peace, -Jeff from Uncle Shaker
Great premise, writing, performance, production quality and marketability. Rated! I'll look for it on MTV! A side note: I went to the Funk Fest in Mobile with my drummer bud James. I was about the only white dude there. I stood up on a cooler and said, "I got the smallest ass up in heah!"
Oh Man, Thats real, when u let anyone cruize through your soul they will see the real you. Nice song, its deep man
Funkin cool stuff, bro! Black or white, who gives a sh*te! Its YOUR influence an its what you like, so fook anyone else who has a problem! Nice guitar work in there an plenty of great ideas..like it!! JD.
The quality is outstanding!!! an original concept, and the funky riffs are wicked, definately a good track, nice style.
A hint Wild Cherry in the sound.. And ain't some people just plain fekkin stupid when they think they have right to take the moral high stance in the racism issue. Naaaa I ain't gonna soap box.. I came here to listen to a damn fine piece of music. great lyrics and all topped off with a cracking performance/production. BTW a niggle.. Can you hit the Parental Advisory button .. Superb stuff
hey larry def a chili feel. awesome bass, really feeling it, i love how youve taken a childhood comemnt and made it a great song in your adulthood. go for it, rated Nathalie x
Certainly got a chili feel to it. Good lyrics. I also hope it offends the type of person it was meant to ha ha. Rated. Didn't mind the guitar a bit far back.
Right Bass got me straight away... that's my boy!!!! Fine guitar as always, nice funky tune, lyrics... Now Roy Harper did a song a long time ago called "I Hate The White Man" this I guess is a sort of new take on a similar message... anyway, we all want to be black, thats why we lay in the sun ain't it? :-) Buttons pushed for antother fine song well performed!!!
Ok, the first thing I did after listening to this was download it - What a great song! I love anything lyrically that makes people have to actually think, and this certainly does. My only crit is the guitar solo - every other part of the mix is really dry and upfront, but the guitar sounds like it's about 20 feet back. I think it would sound better with a tad less reverb to bring it forward. D'Arcy
THERES THOSE SOLO'S! Yummy stuff guys Love the ideolody
Great song Larry. Agree great bass. Top notch production as well. Great Great song. Thanks for letting me listen.

I once heard that the worst thing you can tell and A&R rep is that you are the "V Word" or in other words Versatile. They claimed you should find your niche and stick with it. Unfortunately, I fall into that category because I write and sing on many different styles of songs. I can't help it. Maybe that means I don't have a shot. What's the difference really? Music to me is about expressing what's inside your soul regardless of genre in hopes that you connect with the listener. So on that note, I sing and write Rock, RnB, Rap, Acoustic, and whatever songs I feel in my soul. I hate it when I hear musicians say, "This is all I'm good at" or "This is all I know how to do". I never agree because you could easily flip burgers if you choose to. It's just the cool thing to say to make people think you are so dedicated to your craft. But maybe I'm just envious because I wish this is all I could do. So anyhow, take a listen and hopefully you connect with something that I connect with. Thanks for stopping by and the following is a brief history of a no-name in Rockford telling my stories:...

Larry Lane is a name I'd seen crop up a few times in the Official Chart, but up until this review, much to my shame, I hadn't checked them out. In fact, such was my ignorance, I never realised Larry Lane were a band named after a neighbourhood rat. Truth be told, I thought it was, well, a bloke called Larry. Anyway, the band don't waste any time trying to hide their influences. Two li
You can see the infl;uences of this track shine right through from the neggining, which is no bad thing. The tracks has a lush feel to it with a nice melody which holds you interest and got my feet a'tappin#:)The vocals are well delivered with a distinct sound that weave well with the music. The recording quality is a great and it comes across as a commercial track which you could well see being p
So Many Things - Larry Lane reviewed by DJ DAH Where do I start? Toward the end of the track I was starting to move my body this track oozes style and I can imagine this playing in a bar or something of that nature, where everybody starts tapping their feet and all the girls shaking Ass. Me being a trancy-dancy dude I actually like this track. I can tell it is soulfull. definatley a thu
firstly the lyrics are hysterical and are well worth the listen in itself. particualarly i found the little panned left comments that come in and out which have the feel that its an audience member reacting to this white guy talking crazy talk. i laughed and smiled throughout the tune. im not a huge fan of the melody. but im a huge fan of the structure. the musicmanship is second to n
Third time around for MP3 Unsigned's Larry Lane, and I think he hopes he will fare better this time. Well, I hope so too. This is not to say that the two tracks I have reviewed of his aren't any good - just maybe not my style. I must say though that Broke and Lonely (December 2006) was much more my kind of stuff, it being pretty much a standard blues track and I do have a very so
Let me just say again that Mp3 is full of interesting and very capable artists, and the Reviews that I am doing is just my perspective. There is alot of genres that i know little about, and would never presume to be an authority on. So this is just how I see them So first off with this review, Larry Lane has listed himself as a band but it would seem reading that the band is Steve Lindsay, wh
Although I didn't quite get on with Larry Lane's last track Amnesia (November 2006) there was more than enough going with the track to want me to delve further into this MP3 Unsigned rock artist. Where it scored with me was in production values and performance capabilities because - if I were honest - the song didn't really do a lot for me. Still that's often the way with rock music, s
Larry Lane, although sounding like a character tailor made for Superman, is in fact a band who make - and I quote - 'naughty pimp rock to shake that ass' Yeah, oooerr missis indeed. Still anything that features the word rock is usually fine by me, there isn't much in the genre that really gets on me tits. I'm not sure though that band fits Larry Lane because the bio on the pages talks
Musical/track structure The structure of this track is standard industry structure, bar the ending where there is a play on the opening of the track; this is useful for a “mid-album” style track. The structure of this track has little diversity off normal style pop/indie/commercial rock. I don’t find structure being a strong point of this track, but without its due course the track wouldn’t be abl
Larry Lane – Amnesia O.k, so I am rather blown away by this track – It is superb!! I can’t find one fault!! I don’t really know a lot about Larry Lane, but I have a feeling I will do from now on. This track makes me want to be at Glastonbury, rolling around in the grass, taking in the sunshine and Pear Cider…and wailing along to “Amnesia”. I really could see your sound attracting
First go at a review for a while, but here goes, good luck to us all :o) Larry Lane? Who is this mysterious figure? Is he a soul singer, a pop singer, a rock singer! Well none and all, as 'he' is actually the neighbourhood rat! Now the background of this group, I know not much of, I know Steve is the vocalist (well I think he is, but from now on he IS Steve ;o)), and as fo
First thing i'm wondering is what's 'naughty pimp rock'? Lets find out...
Doesn't take long to realise - pimping bass, naughty rythmn, beats and rocking lead riffs! Not to mention the combination of all three in the vocals.
Larry Lane - FALL BACK Well, well, another cellar-dweller, although this band produces far sunnier work than I could ever do, locked away in isolation without any natural light to speak of. But don't, for one second, feel sorry for me. On with the review. Funk, rock and even elements of soul collide here to produce a fully cohesive song, presented in a clean style that rocks along just nicely.
The opening sequence has a terrific guitar riff which teases the listener with a smattering of drum rolls and then a high hat is introduced that slips us into the great 'dance beat'. The vocals come into the frame at this point and.....WOW! what a professional sound ths talented group have and they must sound awesome 'live'. The second phase settles us down into a cool continuous beat and the fee
