Anything goes challenge...

[Highway Star]

We've never done this before!!

So.... this is how it goes

Post a tune! Easy!

You have to the end of the month, 15 days, to post a tune, anything but... hold back the tune and saying what it is until posting time then we will see what we have! Shred V Country Rock V Blues V Metal! Awesome! No reason why we shouldn't get a load of entries! No limit on styles, length, famous or not, cover or original, singing or not (yep Stempy mate, time to gargle and give us a song!)

So.... Who's up for it?? I'd really like this one to be full so no limits means you are not constrained! Play your favourite stuff and post it whether it is the Eagles, New York Dolls, Metallica, Neil Young, Foo Fighter a Big Doug special or even a Lonny Donigan..... (maybe...)

Norman

[Rick_Lamoreaux]

So once the tunes are posted, what's going to happen, LOL?

QUE?

how did you do it that quickly

[Viscolex]

ill join in, but might take a little while cause my guitar aint here yet, but put me in anyway :D

[helliott]

Can't resist this one. I'll join in if there's room for another. I'll use reverb this time, honest.

[Guitarpima]

I'm in also. Oh what to do?

[Guitarpima]

Reverb optional?

[Jack]

like a moth to a flame...

I... must.... try.... to.... resist....


Ughhh! Its no use... my will is broken. Damn you Norman!

[Highway Star]

Oh... This is going to be good!!!

Norman's Mum....

[Stempy]

I'm sure I can ruin something, in fact I was busy ruining something tonight then my pooter crashed and I lost the lot, serves me right for not saving it a track at a time.

[bwdavis99]

I'm in

[ZappaFan]

I'll try and come up with a small ditty too.

[bluesgeek]

15 days? should be able to manage that ;) Been rushed off my feet for the last couple of weeks, hopefully things are easing up a bit now. Took the night off and stuck some tolex on my 36 watt homebrew - pix in a few days :)

[Highway Star]

My goodness! This is going to be good! Thanks guys!

Norman

[helliott]

Mine's done. So we hang in now and wait for next steps?

[Highway Star]

Mine's done. So we hang in now and wait for next steps?
Best to hang on to it until the last day of the month. I'll put up an instruction then so we will see all of the entries at once. Looking forward to hearing it!

Norman

[Lyle]

when do they have to be done by?

[bigdoug]

that'll be "the end of the month" then Kirk:happy_boobs:

[Lyle]

eh, you shuddupayourface!

[Guitarpima]

I was working on something cool but changed my mind mid stream and started a whole new project. A bit of a departure from the norm. Looking forward to this one.

[Highway Star]

....a departure from the norm.....

Hey! I resemble that comment! LOL

Bugger! I already posted my "Ending Credits" entry so.... 5 days to find and learn something else! LOL

Norm....

[Highway Star]

Hope this is all going well!! Friday is the deadline guys which reminds me..... I must find a number to cover! LOL

Norman

[Highway Star]

Ha!! I've got one sorted!! Now... all I've got to do is learn the rythm.... learn a lead line or two.... pick the tone... record it... mix it... Hmmm... No problemo then! LOL

Glad it's a short one! (you may well be as well....)

Norman

[Jack]

Ah, quit trying to make us feel sorry for ya, Norm!
You'll probably blow us all away with another perfect Jimmy Page imitation!

I have 3 songs I've narrowed it down to... Now I must get my back-side into the studio, or nothing gets done!!!

[Guitarpima]

Maybe he will do a slasher video of "whole lotta Norm". Led Zepplin with blood. Could be his ticket. :lol:

[Highway Star]

LOL No Led Zep this time but you'll need a number 11 on the dial to listen to it!! Tone is selected, Rythm is learnt, Lead tomorrow night then record on Wed! Sorted!

Norman

It should be called, "Good Times, Bates Times"...

No, wait... how about, "Hotels of the Holy"...


Oh, better yet, "The Song Remains Insane".

:5:

:5:

Very good!! LOL But I would go with the real song names for my previous er.... misdemeanors and schitsophrenic indiscretions.....

Your Time is Gonna Come.... (LZ 1)
How Many More Times.... (LZ 1)
What Is and What Should Never Be.... (LZ 2)
In My Time of Dying... (Physical Graffiti)
Nobody's Fault But Mine.... (Presence)
Meal For One.... (Presence)

Spooky....

Norman....

[Danny Danzi]

Ready on my end. :)

[Highway Star]

Ready on my end. :)

Oh! that is good!! I'll start recording tomorrow night! Nothing like leaving it late! LOL

Thanks for taking a shot Danny! Looking forward to hearing it.

Norman

[Jack]

I just need to rant for a minute... :x

I had two thirds of my recording done, when the program took a dump and refused to work anymore!

I should have known better, and did a "save as" before doing the major editing that I did, but...

Anyway, I pretty much know all my parts now - recording it again shouldn't be too hard, and this time I'll save often!!!

My next computer will have to be a Mac... grumble, grumble, grumble....

Oh Bugger!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd better have a practice, not starting to record until tomorrow and.... I'll get Mother to save often! LOL

Norman

[Guitarpima]

I just finished mine. Timing was a pain for this one. Can you post it with the name I give it? Just put Guitarpima next to it.

[bluesgeek]

I have a demo or two of the band I'm tweaking - oo-err ;)

No Problem mate!

Norman

[Guitarpima]

Thanks Norman

[Highway Star]

I'm Done!!!!! Whoaaaa! BT Sunday, Practice Monday, day off Tuesday, Recorded the riff/rythm tonight and bugger it, couldn't be botthered learing someone elses solo so I just busked one in there!!

Short but powerful so... when you hear it ... CRANK IT UP!!!

LOL

Norman

[Viscolex]

i might be a few days late with the entry :/

working on something pretty epic

[Jack]

I've got mine "done" for now... I have to have a (wisdom) tooth extracted tomorrow morning (getting knocked out, and all that)... so I don't know if I'll be up to re-doing the solo, which I buggered up.

But the version I have right now will do in a pinch. Its better than the "Since I've Been Lovin' You" at least...

I'm still hoping to find time to get that in order...

If it's better than your SILBY then it will be cool indeed!! Mine is as rough as guts but (hopefully) full of energy!! I couldnt keep my feet still listening back to it! LOL And I knew what was coming!

Norman

[helliott]

I'll be posting mine after work Friday, which will make it late in some time zones. Hope to have it mastered and up by 9 p.m. EST. Forgot to ask earlier -- is there a preferred format, as in mp3 or wma?

I'll try and have it finished by early morning, but don't hold your breath. This could be a qwerty forehead night....

[Viscolex]

[Andyboy]

Thats mine done

Liked the idea of this challenge.
Perhaps we could do it on a monthly basis.
But I know it could be a lot of work for the administrators

Cheers

Andy

Err... now really, but I don't have any free time until either tonight or possibly Sunday Mid day to load it all up as there are now 9 in so far (Thanks Helliot! Got it!) when can you have it done by Visco? It would be great to have yours as well!
