So as not to clutter up the Rock Band thread, this. Anyway. Melvins covers, anyone? |

Hooray! Also: eek! I really need to blow the dust of my guitar and remember which end to hold and stuff. I'm only half-joking. First Melvins song to cover that springs to mind that probably isn't that difficult to play: 'Hooch' from Houdini, or perhaps 'Night Goat'. As I've said before, it's something of a dream of mine to cover 'Honey Bucket', but I suspect we might need to start slower. And by "we", I mean "me".

By the way - I'm probably better on the bass then the guitar, if that's any "use". And by that I don't just mean "less obviously crap on the bass due to less strings", like most seem to. Tch. |

Well, I don't actually have a kit at the moment. Though, rehearsal spaces often do. I may wander over sometime. |

Bah. It's things like this that make me sad that I'm as musical as a baboon in a tea-chest full of snooker balls being kicked down the stairs. I wanna be in a band and rock out! Maybe I can play the maracas like Bez. |

I've had a FANTASTIC IDEA. Once a week, we (somehow) pick a song, or pick someone to choose a song, or randomly do it. Then, interested parties have e.g. a week to cover that song. No more than a week or it doesn't count. They can cover it on whatever instruments etc. that they want. e.g. Raining Blood. I would cover this by using my feet, the floor, my mouth, and some free music software. Possibly also a guitar. Then when the dust has settled and everyone agrees that I'm best, we can start a band properly! |

Excellent! Right... let's say then that YOUR COVERS OF RAINING BLOOD BY SLAYER need to be ready BEFORE 12AM (midnight) Thursday night / Friday morning. Where Friday is the last day of the working week, when cheery terrible metal covers would be a great thing to have new to listen to. See attachment. |

Yeah, I was just saying "Go for it! You've got a week, do it however you like.", but it seemed a bit redundant and stuff. But yeah, you definitely should. Even/especially if you don't actually know how to play keyboards. Do it! Do it! |

I keep meaning to dust off my guitars and start playing again. My niece puts me to shame, damn she's good. |

You're going to get amused anyway, so why not spare your liver for something else? The same applies to this forum |

Life in Britain is too hard. We need beer and a concert and a handjob, during, before we even crack a smile. |
