sabbath challenge?

[Rick]

anybody.

[Rick_Lamoreaux]

Interesting you chose to start this on a Sunday, lol. I've never listened to any Black Sabbath, or that is took to their music so I'm staying out of this one :mrgreen:

[Rick]

just found myself randomly noodling a few sabbath tracks plus there are lots of backers out there you should have a crack rickLl it'll be cool.

[zombo]

Hrrrrm tempting

[Rick]

[Rick]

sabbath bloody sabbath for me,

i have quite a few backers if anybody needs them

[Jack]

Would the idea be to do a Sabbath cover? Could we do our own interpretation??? I'd love to tackle that! Time may be an issue, but I'd be willing to try.

[daveyravey]

That was back in the late 70's Andrew :shock:
Damn, i feel old :cry1:

[Rick]

[daveyravey]

That's choice, coming from someone who's 13 days older than moi :-D

[Bluto]

Jesus, I'm the same, i found an old copy of Knights in White Satin by the Dickies the other week...h0appy days till I saw the date on the sleeve!! I really do have to get rid of those old 7" vinyl things...my kids think they're hilarious..........but i must be honest, theres something about playing vinyl..its kinda warmer i suppose.......or is that my gout??:(

[daveyravey]

Yeah Dan, i still have all my old vinyls as well, I won't part with them

[zeusse]

Here ya go with a my best attempt at the OZ man....Ohhh Lord Yeah!

[daveyravey]

Bloody hell, that was excellent Eric.

[Viscolex]

Great take on a classic... and i seen that song played live :D

[zeusse]

Yep well tasty, I can't compete with that :lol:Ahhh cmon I wanna here your version of it, I almost was going to do it acousticaly but somehow it just didn't sound right..LOL Thanks for the kind words guys:smile:

[Bluto]

Fantastic take Eric, impressive as always my friend.

Just how long does it take you to learn stuff? Just seems like you can turn your hand to most stuff and totally nail it in such a short space of time.:p

Rep point as i loved the tone as well!!

Dan

Got the backing track off rick :)

[Rick]

[daveyravey]

How did ya manage to get the chipmunks to do the vocal Andy ??

[bigdoug]

great take Visco lol

[Viscolex]

hehehe, thanks lads

I think the guitars sounds awesome though!

but since i couldnt sing properly, just thought of doing a piss take on the vocals :D

[bigdoug]

yeah great playing ,how about your singer doing it?

[Viscolex]

funny enough, we actually cover this song with the band :)

yea, i will make him sing it tomorrow :)

[Viscolex]

woops

just realised, i deleted everything i've done with it... only the master left

kinda means i have to re-record all the guitars... maybe next time

[Guitarpima]

Nice one Eric! Very cool take on an old classic for some of us. Very well done!

Visco. Just one thing to say. AALLLLVINNNN! Great take!

[mmitch_19]

Very nice work Zeusse! You rock!

[zombo]

How are we going to do this does everybody load up his part here and then it's a challenge I have just about got mine done but don't know how to proceed ??

[zombo]

By the way Zeusse that was awesome man you always amaze me spot on !!

[zombo]

Micky Visco was well funny great tone and the drunken mouse voice was errrrm different to say the least just for fun anyway lol !!

[zeusse]

.....LOL Visco that was beautifull dude I laughed my butt off...I could picture Alvin on the mic belting that out...:10:

...and thanks John,Mitch,Big D and Robert it was fun getting back to the stuff I grew up on

[Viscolex]

im happy you liked it Zeusse :D

[Rick]

yeh just upload em john and when there is enough i'll split them off onto another thread.

i'm trying to get a guest singer for mine, its looking good.

currently i'm just spending a bit of time on eruption there are a couple of parts i so can't play but should hopefully have it by midweek then i'll put my track up.

[zombo]

Ok here is my version of Iron man bringing back many old memories !!

[Guitarpima]

When are you going to close this challenge Rick? I just finished another and was going to tackle this. Only the only one I know well enough to get done fairly quickly is Paranoid. I could be done as early as this weekend maybe sooner.

[Rick]

no push at all robert to be honest, you take your time. i'll post up when i think everybody has had long enough

[zeusse]

Thats ACE John! I'm thinking Tommi was in the house...just awesome dude I think we'll have to find some more Sabbath for you to do:cool1:

[daveyravey]

WOW Johnny boy :smile:

[zombo]

Thanks for the comments when I first picked up the guitar Black Sabbath was around I learned all the solos and riffs but forgot them through the years!
So this was all about my past I am so glad Rick did this challenge brilliant!

[Rick]

johnny iommi.
did you learn to play left handed and cut your finger tips off?

[zombo]

johnny iommi.
did you learn to play left handed and cut your finger tips off?

Tips were cut clean off so I melted down some plastic and made finger tips out of it.

[Guitarpima]

Awesome job John! Very well done! The "I am Iron Man" was pretty creepy. :thumb: :thumb:

[Danny Danzi]

OMG! I'm soo gonna do WarPigs for my head! LOL!! I used to totally kill that tune! Thanks for posting up the backings Rick, I have been looking for one for WP for a long time. :)

[Rick]

splendid!!!!

anymore??

[Guitarpima]

Oops. For some reason, the solo did not mix in when I exported the track.

It's there now.

[daveyravey]

Sounds good & there's nothing wrong with the solo Robert.

[Guitarpima]

Thanks Davey. I appreciate it.

[daveyravey]

No worries m8

[zombo]

Sounds fine to me Rob the solo was brilliant what effect did you have on it??

[Guitarpima]

Thanks John. It is part of the PodXT stomp effects, "sub octaves". It sounds like an octave effect on the original so I went with it.

[zeusse]

Excellent job Robert I liked the octave on the solo gave it a nice fill.:smile:

[Guitarpima]

Thanks Eric. I appreciate it.

[Rick]

this will finish on saturday this week!

thats the 23rd if you want in.

[daveyravey]

I must get my finger out with this

[Rick]

[daveyravey]

Saturday it is then.
Would've prefered more time as this is my first challenge, but wth, in for a penny........

[Guitarpima]
