  • You know, in Rainbow Rocks there was a distinct lack of guitar playing from a character shown shredding it up in one of the preview prequel scenes. A few people requested that I do something with this tune so I thought I'd fix the lack of Trixie guitar work :D With my sincerest apologies to Daniel Ingram, Kathleen Barr, Hasbro, DHX, Sethisto and the rest of the worldwide GP&T Fanclub, and all of my subscribers.
    Written by Daniel Ingram. All instruments performed / drums programmed by The L-Train.

    Lyrics:
    You better believe
    that I got tricks up my sleeve
    And I captivate
    'Cause I'm powerful and great
    You better believe
    that I got tricks up my sleeve
    See me dominate
    'Cause I'm powerful and great
    You think you've got what it takes to go toe to toe?
    I've got more moves than you'll ever know
    I own the stage, I'm all the rage
    You're from the past, I'm from the Space Age
    Come on, you're just making noise
    Listen how my music destroys
    Anything you throw at me
    I'm gonna throw back, just wait and see
    You better believe
    that I got tricks up my sleeve
    And I captivate
    'Cause I'm powerful and great
    You better believe
    that I got tricks up my sleeve
    See me dominate
    'Cause I'm powerful and great
    I'm here to take you down a peg
    By the time I'm done, you're gonna beg
    To be in my band, application rejected! (Rejected!)
    Don't look so sad and so dejected! (Dejected!)
    [Guitar solo]
    Don't mean to brag, don't mean to boast
    But I'm a six-course meal and you're just burnt toast
    Think I'm gonna ever give up?
    No, never, never, never, never, never!
    Come on, you're just making noise
    Listen how my music destroys
    Anything you throw at me
    I'm gonna throw back, just wait and see
    You better believe
    that I got tricks up my sleeve
    And I captivate
    'Cause I'm powerful and great
    You better believe
    that I got tricks up my sleeve
    See me dominate
    'Cause I'm powerful and great
    I'm the powerful and great
    I'm the powerful and great

    This is kickass, and the way the lead guitar is musically showing off is pure Trixie, very reminiscent of what Rainbow Dash does in "Awesome." That's why their Pony versions eventually get along in the IDW comics -- they totally understand each other's basic senese of life.

    Well, after the shred off battle at the music store between Trixie and Rainbow Dash, most people would have expected this version to be her song during The Battle Of The Bands. Instead Miss Lulamoon is doing a jazz version. I like both versions but it seems logical that Trixie would have done a rock version. Even the Rainbooms had a rock song (Awesome as I wanna be) on their playlist.

    Gotta tip my hat to good ol' Rider for putting this in the comments as a suggestion for a song Borsqu's character Starfall could sing (on FimFiction). His comment brought me here, and I am pleased. Personally though, I would have preferred less screaming, or more at just the right moments, and a fuller voice. But whatever; I can't sing for shit so you've earned a sub!!

      "cover" just means you're playing a song originally by someone else. as opposed to "original".

I just wanted to know because if I could get good enough at bass guitar, I could go to learn electric guitar and this is a song I would like to learn. Plus, I am starting a brony club in high school and I was wondering if I could use some of your music to help promote the club. It will be completely non-profit and what money we do get will go to good causes and to help keep the club running. If you say yes, I can guarente you some attention at the least. If not, oh well, thank you anyways. I await your answer and brohoof!
