Description Originally 5_Extra_Arms (Bob Dorsey) posted a version of this a while back.
Bud and I decided it would be fun to further develop it and see what came about.

With Bob's help, he taught us how to grow 5 extra arms each. That makes 21 arms total and 210 fingers, enabling for us to play everything live. (sorta)

So, beamed via satellite from a abandoned missile silo.......

5_Extra_Arms: lead vocals, fuzzy guitar, bass

Bud: fuzzy guitar, bass, synth bass

Vic: bunches of other guitars, vocoder, drums & back up vocals.

Lyrics I'm wondering which cloud you fell from
and how'd you land on me?
I hope you didn't hurt your wing
I'll take you home
I'll comfort thee

twisting falling to the floor
somehow pushed out from heaven's door
to the earth
a quick descent
with one wing broken
one wing bent

If I mend your broken wings
enable you to fly again
would you fly to heaven's door
with scattered feathers
on my floor

should I build a blue bird cage
with painted clouds upon the door
a place where you can lay your head
of comfy nest
with so much more

Hardware stuff

Software: more stuff

	Very cool! One of Bob's best tunes dressed to the nines! Ahhhh....My head is simply awash with guitars! Excellent job gentlemen! Oh, and btw Vic...This is your best DRUM track ever I think. Bravo!

	Vic Holman said 208 days ago
	Thanks Bro How could I not put my hands all over Bob's original tune. I can't even remember how many guitar tracks are on this, but it is alot, I thought I'ld let out my Keith Moon side come out on the drums without the exploding bass drum.

	said 208 days ago
	Wise decision bro... Exploding MIDI bass drums are more trouble than they're worth! Ha ha...

	davisamerica said 208 days ago
	right then... loved the original and this one is a screamer ... well done guys!

jgurner said 208 days ago

You know
I bet that silo turns out to be the undisclosed bunker they kept hiding Dick Cheney. Or is it the one where they keep the UFO parts?

Where ever it is, it's certainly rockin' with you guys playing away inside. What a great collab. One of you alone is enough talent to choke a horse. There's no telling what all animals you could choke with the combined talent of all three of you. Though, that does seem to be quite a cruel thing to do, choking defenseless animals with your talent. Shame on you all!

So, where was I....? Oh yeah, great song guys! Thanks for playing along!

	Relic67 said 208 days ago
	nice good one! Like the singing and playing. Your tripartite logo would make an excellent album cover...

	lavalamp said 208 days ago
	Hey dude, I know that tune Bob just plainly rockin' out under stress with fuzzy glowing guitars roaring nearby as the bass maintains a sort soulful, intense balance in a sensational, cool way. In other words: Great! LL

	Cool! Cool sounds going on, really fine work here and as always a treat listening to your guitars.. Nice! Take Care - Yeman A. Al-Rawi

	lengold said 208 days ago
	I really liked Bobs' original version and this just takes it to another level. Great musicianship, arrangement and production by you all. Cheers Len

	Skean said 208 days ago
	Pro This is pro collab... Nice done guys... Love it. Cheers -- Kenta

	Peter Bauckham said 208 days ago
	Excellent re-working of Bob's tune - which I love anyway - the vocals on this remind me of the late Nikki Sudden (in a good way). Some seriously good guitar work going on - and vocoder vocal too! Peter

	dajama said 208 days ago
	Guitar frenzy! This is great, filled with terrific guitar work, great sounds and sparkling playing. Great song, with very nice lyrical imagery and some really cool lines. 'Bunches of other guitars' - love it! Very cool. Nicely done folks. Peace.

	bud said 208 days ago
	This is really Vic and Bob's baby - a dog can only do so much to improve on such a killer song. Woof!

	Vic Holman said 206 days ago
	Bud... ..... you are being WAY to modest. The bass & synth bass are perfect & in the pocket. and your fuzzed guitar on the left perfectly complimented Bob's on the right. This would not of been the same without you. Plus, you caught that major fuba. It's always my greatest pleasure to play tunes with ya.

	five_extra_arms said 162 days ago
	You Guys Are The Best!! Really and truly, you made a great song out of a very simple and shallow idea. Thanks for even bothering to include me. You did all the work and without a doubt, you played one of your most curious leads ever. Thanks again! Bob

	Vic Holman said 160 days ago
	Bob, Bob, Bob you are the main drive here and spiritual guru on broken wings and feathers. Would not of happened without your spunky tune!

	said 208 days ago
	Cloud You Fell From Wow !! This is a killer track love the very beginning introduction and it just got better and better and just could not get any better. Loved it. The singing was just great the lyrcs cool too. Well done to one and all.And not forgetting those extra arms and guitars, the drums are awsome . Peace Dee.

	said 207 days ago
	VIDEO! This screams for an 80's video - oh crap, the vocoder just kicked in WOWWW!!! I absolutely love this; playing in an abandoned missile silo was just a plain Vic Holman stroke of genius as well.

	egobandit said 207 days ago
	killer all out and beyond what a total experience..THats it Im breaking my guitar...Downloaded Genius!!!!!

	peacepiano said 207 days ago
	All Stars Maybe not angels, but you guys are all stars! Great sound! Thanks Bill

	MarkHolbrook said 207 days ago
	So happy to See another VH tune even if it was someone else's first!

	The Infinites said 206 days ago
	Yessssss!! Killing Joke. Effin' brill guys. That vocoder break seals the deal - nicely woven in amongst some top geetar. Vocal mix is great - I can't tell who's doing what in there! Fine lyrics too - and I don't expect anything less! Jim

	announcer said 206 days ago
	I wanna bottle your guitar sound Vic, I want to make a million by bottling that guitar sound and selling it. It would make a great energy drink, could smooth the frizzies, and probably would be a organic, holistic substitute for Viagra. Let's work a deal.

	said 206 days ago
	Kickin' ! Really nice tune guys!

	jiguma said 205 days ago
	A challenge! Must have been hard to sort that kit out Vic - I think an exploding midi kick drum would have been a rather nice, subtle addition :) Cool track - the edgy side of Live Aid! Neil

	guitapick said 204 days ago
	No fair... ...5 extra arms is too much of an advantage to begin with! I loved the original...this has some nice new angles...

	DWL said 204 days ago
	Now that was a cloud worth falling out of. Tremendous work guys. Cheers Dick

	Karmatoburn said 203 days ago
	one wing I grew an arm just listening. Seriously, nice blending of talents. Massive energy pulse.

	guygrooves said 188 days ago
	Stopped by... to catch up on some good music and I am glad I did. The guitars are some of the coolest I've heard to date. This is very cool. I liked the synth voice too. Great tune.

	Vic Holman said 208 days ago
	Thanks Jack I'm glad that Bud & Bob were ready to jump in on this. It's wild how a song can change through several different hands. It was a blast!

	Vic Holman said 208 days ago
	Hey Joseph well for D.C., that might explain the clicking of claws scurrying around in the dark corners. One big rat, we thought. The only thing that got choked were all the guitar necks. Yes, we were brutal and showed no mercy until the strings rusted. That will show them

	Vic Holman said 208 days ago
	thanks much I hear vinyl albums are making there way back. Really dug you entry for the live aid show, great piece!

	Vic Holman said 208 days ago
	Hey Dave I liked Bob's original so much that it kept running through my head until I had to get it out of my system. Bud, jumped right in and helped out alot. Crazy how a song can change, right?

	Vic Holman said 207 days ago
	Hi Feter Bob's original song really rocked. After laying some stuff down it was interesting to see it take on a different style and come into it's own.

	Vic Holman said 207 days ago
	Thanks Yeman I think there is around ten guitar tracks on this. I know it sounds crazy to do that many. But some are playing harmony parts in unison. Thanks again Yeman!

	Vic Holman said 207 days ago
	Thanks Len Bob's original is really cool! I've been wanting to do something with Bob for a while, but the guy is pretty busy. And it was over due to work with Bud again. This was a great way for use to get our feet wet and leave water tracks all over the place.

	Vic Holman said 207 days ago
	Hey Kenta Bob had a cool song to build from and Bud did some great tracks, It was my biggest pleasure to work with these guys

	Vic Holman said 206 days ago
	Thanks Peter The original is cool. At first I wasn't sure what I was going to do. I wanted to keep the bones of the original intact. It's always interesting how a song can change after additional stuff is thrown into the mix. I've been wanting to try out the vocoder for a while and this song really gave it the opportunity.

	Vic Holman said 206 days ago
	Thanks David bunches of guitars is right. Bud & Bob handled the fuzzed out guitar chords. I did nothing but single line guitar tracks. I think I added around ten of those, then there are 3 bass tracks as well, some of Bob's original and Bud added a great bass & synth bass that really grounded the bottom end.

	Thanks Dee originally there was a different intro on Bob's original. but I got to thinking that something totally different and unexpected would add a little drama. I'm playing the drums from the keyboard, luckily the 5 extra arms that Bob taught me to grow helped out a lot.

	Vic Holman said 206 days ago
	hey Rik missile silos have a nice echo to them. but it was to dark for a camera crew. it took me a while to get around to paying with the vocoder. now I'm going to have to restrain myself from using it all over the place on future tunes.

	Vic Holman said 206 days ago
	Hey Tim Now, I should of thought of that. smashing a guitar at the end. After spearing a Marshall stack with it....hmmm, there's no plug-in for that

	Vic Holman said 206 days ago
	thanks Bill i don't think anyone of us would call ourselves an angel... well at least myself. It was a real pleasure for me to work out a tune with Bob & Bud.

	Vic Holman said 206 days ago
	Thanks Mark this has been a week for collaborations for me. I had the pleasure to do this one with some great guys and worked on another with Lavalamp a few days earlier before posting this one.

	Vic Holman said 206 days ago
	thanks Jim first off I really liked you tune for the event. cool team work there. well everyone is all over the place on this one. of course this song just screamed "I need more vocoder"

	Vic Holman said 205 days ago
	Thanks Bill Fizzy Fuzz, Tequila Twang, Grape Guitar, Power Chord Cola, etc. See, we got the names, now for the marketing. Thanks Bill, finally catching up on tunes. The "Tapping" is a fantastic piece

	Vic Holman said 205 days ago
	Hey Mike it was great to bring this about with 5 Extra Arms & Bud, those two always rock my socks.

	Vic Holman said 205 days ago
	You're right Neil exploding bytes and bit rates scattered all over the stage would been quite the show. I break the drums out to 3 tracks for more flexability. Plus, it's easier to see where everything is since the fog machine has gone into overdrive and obscured everything.

	Vic Holman said 204 days ago
	Thanks Bob If we all could grow five extra arms, that would take multi-tasking to a whole new level. And sales on double neck guitars would sky rocket.

	Vic Holman said 201 days ago
	Thanks Dick ironically I have clouds of feathers scattered across my lawn. the cat has been busy. It was cool to take a shot at this and approach it from a slightly different angle. I t was a pleasure to work with Bud & Bob!

	Vic Holman said 201 days ago
	winging it 5 Extra Arms original was intense in a punk kinda way. Its interesting to find how a someone else's song can change from a different perspective.
