sounds pretty fucking awesome!!! good luck with the vocals though, last time i tried singing along to that song, i nearly passed out!

btw, what program was it you said you used for the drums? if it isn't too expensive, i might invest in that myself. hopefully in the next year or so i'll get myself an MBox with protools LE and the plugins it comes with, but i'm not using fucking SampleTank for drums, as i've learnt from past experience, it's shite for drums...

I use Fruity Loops with a custom sample set.

And I'm not afraid of the vocals on this one. I used to this one live too, and we played it much faster than the album version, as fast we could possibly play it... and this version is, I believe, actually a hair slower than what's on the album. Plus the whole thing is a step and a half lower in key, the way we used to play it so I could hit the notes in the bridge.

Anyway... thanks. I'm super super proud of this.

Quite a good description of the drums on the first page of this thread.

I've just upgraded my version of PC drummer to the latest version but I don't think I'm going to get anywhere near these results.

Feel free to take them both in and see what you can put together. Can you get the harmonies and stuff too?

We started putting together a version of Urge last night and it's sounding rather good. We're gonna get a rough mix recorded ASAP so you can have a listen.

It would be really cool if we could get some more bands on board with this thing and try to put a proper tribute album together.

Maybe it's time to start gaging some official interest (sorry if I'm treading on your toes Nuno).

No, no. You're reading my mind. Best case scenario, in my mind, would be every single song performed by a different artist... and no single person bouncing around from track to track and showing up in half of the songs in one capacity or other. Hell, even better would be if some real, actually established, bands caught wind of it and got on board.

I'd be more than happy to put together one song, completely on my own, and call that my contribution... I'd just like to get more people involved, and if me throwing together some parts for other people helps get the ball rolling, so be it.

Yeah that sounds good! Easier than having to all join in one one song.

OK I'll buy into this. Wanted to try Urge but you beat me to it

I could probably use some help with vox tho as my singing sucks.

I'd help, but as I've already demonstrated... I'm not exactly Sebastian Bach myself.

Here's a snippet of one of my throwaway Caffeine Bomb vocal sessions.

Ahh fuck it count me in for Give The Girl A Gun.

Excellent, excellent. Put everything you've got into it.

I have to admit, though... that's kind of an odd song to choose, isn't it?

[nuno75]

We should get someone who isn't going to be performing on the album, and who isn't too closely connected to someone who is, to decide what goes and what stays... and kind of run the show in general.

It's gonna be an ugly moment when it comes, but I really think there should be some standards in place.

Possibly but I totally love the song. I recorded a version along time ago but it always bugged me that it was substandard. 7 years later and I'm a far better musician now with much better gear and a much bigger recording setup so this time I will do it properly.

[nuno75]

Well... either way around it, I can't write anything of my own these days so I've got nothing better to do than do like Metallica did for the Ramones tribute and record a bunch of songs and pick the best of the bunch.

So as far as songs I'm recording, no one should feel like those are off limits.
