A Tribute to Vivienne Westwood

This is a song I wrote about Vivienne Westwood and her influence on Punk Rock and the 1970s. I recorded this on a Saturday afternoon in the spare room. I started by recording a basic drum track, then using a Epiphone Gibson Standard I put down two guitar tracks, panned left and right, then I developed the lyrics, and final recorded my vocal track with a punkish (John Lyndon) feeling. I mixed down on a VS 840 using some reverb. The images are from the Internet. No offence meant to anyone it is my shot at a retrospective of Ms Westwood's life and work. Why? cause I reckon she is pretty dam cool. Please leave comments. ScarySpider.

LOL the thing I love most about this song is that it is in the exact style her and McLaren would have loved, you don't have the best musical talent in the world but still created an amazing piece with what you had just like the sex pistols. Was great lol, adored it.

Just because they made money and marketed a product does not mean that it lacks creativity, uniqueness, or any other artistic qualities.

Over-rated self publicist, oh, and she was big friends with Malcolm Mclaren, and what was he. Laughing all the way to the bank.
