Jake Lizzio / Kerry Devine - "What's Comin' To Ya" [Classic Rock / 80s Hair Metal Genre]

My Complete Theory and Songwriting course is NOW OUT! bit.ly/38fs0sx See how I made this song: • How To Make A Classic ...
Get the song on spotify / itunes, etc: bit.ly/3coZQwk
For my fifth episode of Riffing With The Modes, I decided to write an entire 80's rock single to demonstrate the power of Mixolydian. Kerry Devine performed vocals and Jeff Schwertfeger played drums. The video was filmed at a tiny suburban concert venue during quarantine, and then I filmed some greenscreen shots later on. The effects are all stock premiere effects- lots of color adjustments, channel blur, and automated zooms. Plus fake shakey cam when needed!
Hope you enjoy this one, it's the sort of song I would love to hear on the radio once a year and not much more than that, lol

Yeah, this does sound like 80s "pop metal". This mixolydian formula creates such a fresh cool and energetic sound. The vocalist is great. The drummer's real funny, love how he's trying to sing to the swinging mic! There was a time when THIS was the kind of music they played on the radio all the time...

Rick Beato: What makes this song great? 12tone: Draw up some elephants! Oh, wait, never mind guys. We know how this one went down. Rock on, young ‘uns!

I'd still like to see a 12tone vid on this. If only to see an 80s hair metal elephant.

tbh the only reason i do music is cause it's fun. i don't have some deeper goal, it's just really really fun

[@wolverine3344]

@@SignalsMusicStudioThat's awesome you value FUN, likely largely just one reason that you're super successful Jake. I reckon you'd be great in anything you attempt in life. A good life lesson here. This place is awesome, don't wanna let Covid kick me off the merry-go-round just yet. I'm just discovering how FUN this instrument and hobby is, and it's thanks to stellar instructors like you that help me glean even more FUN from MUSIC !!

This really captures that 80's feeling

[@newell2339]

Yesterday (2 Mar 2022) I was working in the kitchen and also decided to listen to some music through our Google "hockey puck". I rarely do either of those things. I asked it to play some rock music. As it turns out, in a lineup of music that I was enjoying, "What's Comin' To Ya" was sandwiched between Kansas Carry on my Wayward Son and Boston More Than a Feeling. Wow. Randomly being flanked by those artists and songs seems like the definition of making it in the modern music world. Congrats Jake, Kerry, & Beardstank!!

[@kerrydevine8630]

Wow, how cool is that, thx for sharing

[@aishwarythakur7091]

My favourite genre, these guys in the 80s had the attitude very few have these days, some of the best Guitar players came from the early 80s scene, please make more of these.

[@wolverine3344]

You guys are legit, Steel Panther , Poison, Motley Crue tour worthy, I’d pay to see that bill.

[@philomelodia]

Oh, this is 1000 times better than steel panther. Leagues and leagues better. Poison, Mötley Crüe, fire house. Any one of those bands could’ve written or played that song. Not steel panther though. I grew up in that time and glam metal was my thing. I promise you none of us would’ve listened to steel panther. Don’t get me wrong, they’re not a bad band but, something is missing there. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Maybe hard-core superstar. They’ve got good stuff. Too bad they’re not making any new things. As for steel panther, I think what it is is that they need a better songwriter. Kind of like Love Stallion needs a new vocalist.

[@dntinpalevo]

I was waiting for you guys to increase the last chorus by 1 whole tone. #oldest trick in the book :)

[@giovannimacdermott3030]

Dude! This is pure CANDY from start to finish! So fun and suns up an entire decade. Well done. Absolutely love the tongue in cheek comedy through the vid as well! 🤘😎🤘

I LOVE THIS SONG. I have a soft spot for hair metal, idk why :D. Thanks for this Jake, keep up the good work!

[@NominalTopic]

That ONE NOTE in the guitar solo makes it! Looks like a lot of fun to put together.

[@mboyer68]

Creating music is something magical. Even when you employ computers and current technology. To create a song that makes people happy and they sing along in their car or at a live show.. that's magic. You've touched people's hearts. And not many things in this world allows one to touch people's hearts. Especially strangers hearts! Awesome video, awesome song, awesome video documing how you did it, great work guys!!!

[@jj25397]

Spot on 1985. I hear a little Dokken, Poison, Ratt, and Satrianni. The only thing keeping it from sounding later in the decade was an underuse of tapping, whammy bars, and a pound of cocaine. But it has cheese for days and that's awesome. Great job guys. It really brought back some much needed vibes from my childhood.

[@An2oine]

This is a cool Poison type song. It really rocks.

I've got some plans to do more production lessons. It might be on a different channel though, and it might be mostly livestreamed.... I'll keep you all posted!

[@telequacker-9529]

Got that flat 80s drum sound... I'm guessing reverb on the snares and lots of compression over everything. If it's not actually a drum machine

After 3 days of the chorus stuck in my head from the very informative "How to" vdo, I'd say that your mission was accomplished! The "keep it simple so anyone can do it" theme worked, and it's obvious that you guys had a ton of fun making the vdo! More hilarious may have been using your mugs for the bass and keyboard lines! Thanks for sharing, and best of luck! Now, how do I get rid of this thing?!

I even developed a desire for singing on the way, apparently a deep never expressed passion of mine.😁 Rock on and thank you for being you, keep doing what you're doing & don't ever loosen the grip 👊 kudos from a BG fan in London, UK and thanks a million for the modal poster 🙏 it's a legacy piece of art ❤️

There's just one phrase I can instantly think of that works with this... "Nailed it!". :) Awesome tune, and loved the making-of video. Glad to see it on spotify too, so I can actually listen to it easier and more often. :)

[@TROGULAR10000]

"Hair Metal" hahahah. This is totally exactly the sound. I was in high school. I listened to punk and ska but my metal friends were extremely cool (although somewhat underfed it seemed). They put up with me dissing Def Leppard and Quiet Riot but we both loved the Who and Zeppelin. AC/DC and Van Halen were also impossible not to like. Beastie Boys provided the evidence that all these subcultures had the right to party together.

I've been watching your videos from some time now and I think this is the best content available on youtube to learn music theory on guitar and also to compose in different style. I have a request, could you please make a video on theory and composing similar to Pink floyd. How to sound like Pink floyd. It would be great if you could do it.

[@timclay8277]

That was truly awesome.. has Frogleap Studios got some serious competition? Hell yeah.

[@CometMedal]

ROCK N' ROLLIN'! Ugh, I just LOVE this song, it's been my top played song on Spotify for ages now! You, Kerry and Jeff really outdid yourselves! If I may ask, do you have the lyrics for this on hand? If it's alright with you, I'd like to write a Musixmatch page for this song so I can get the lyrics up on the Spotify upload. I can make out the mass majority of the song, but there are a few lines I'm unsure of, and it'd be nice to have some official confirmation on 'em! Thank you so much! (PS: Do you ever have plans to bring "Generations" or your older works like "Immaculate Gyration" and "My Favorite Time Of Year" to Spotify? I'm completely alright with listening to them on their respective platforms, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask! Much appreciated, and keep rockin'! HUGE fan of your work!)

[@kerrydevine8630]

I've got the lyrics. I know we made some changes to them before the final mix, would be interesting to see what didn't make the cut, lol. I'll see about digging them up and I'll ask Jake if it's cool, I don't see why it would be a problem :)

[@calvindewolff9177]

Best classic rock song after the classic rock era

[@haikovd8371]

If only you had released this under the name Thin Lizzio

[@philomelodia]

Awesome stuff. Nailed it. My only critique (and this is tiny,) is that the solo wasn’t more singable/tuneful.. It sounded very improvised. There’s nothing wrong with that. That’s just a matter of my personal taste. In every other respect, this is exactly the sort of music we listened to back then. This would’ve been late middle school/early high school for me. I can’t decide whether this reminds me more of fire house, quiet riot or if it’s a new rock band I’m supposed to know but forgot the name of. It’s great. Very well done.

[@kerrydevine8630]

I think this song was heavily influenced by RATT when it was created, if I remember correctly

[@ericbouler7758]

Throw in a few dirty words, and you have Steel Panther. 😆 Awesome!

[@johnniewyestt4238]

The riff is similar to the riff in unchained.

[@Herfinnur]

I know critique hasn't been asked for, but I'm an ass, so here goes: the song and performance is freaking awesome, but it's let down by the mixing, which isn't bad at all, but somehow not flattering for this style of music. It makes it sound like a really good wedding band demo, where you have a clear and middle-of-the-road mix that fits equally well to rock, pop and jazz standards. Maybe you could do a mixing challenge and give a few of us loser nerds the chance to mix it? I'm not sure I could do as good of a job with it too be honest, because I don't know what the stems sound like, but I have some ideas and I would really like to try.
