Damn, I forgot about this thread and started a new one for this tune.

So, I'm just dropping it in here, where it belongs. :)

GLASS ONION
 
Nice job RAMI. I've always liked this tune. You did it justice. :cool:
 
my 2 beatles covers

hi everyone. I'm completely new here, but have gained a lot of insight from the board so far. I've particularly enjoyed the covers here in this thread, though I haven't had the time to go through all 20-odd pages or so, yet.

Let me preface by saying that these are the first songs I've recorded. I tracked and mixed them yesterday in AA3.0, and I would love any feedback you could offer on the poor quality of the mix and how I could improve. I can't mic my kit yet because I only have one mic (AT450D), so these have been arranged to hopefully not sound too silly without drums.

Go to myspace profile and search for artist Aaron Seither. Click on tonedeaf cover and EQ-less cover (just my names to help me remember what I think could be improved)

sorry I can't post the link but the board won't let me yet

BAD BOY --- pretty good, recorded well / sounds pro ... starts of very rough

MEAN MR MUSTARD --- excellent acoustic version. Great feel and energy ... however, Whoa on the Echo. Too Much. Yikes (just my opinion)

Thanks very much for listening and your comments, I think i chose the wrong drum loop to play to "bad boy" and it doesn't kick in for me properly until after the solo, but i love the song and it was fun to make!.

with mustard / pam i guess i was thinking i was in abbey road's echo chamber at times:D, but again i 've always loved the song(s) and its nice to record them to let off some steam in between trying to create something worthwhile of my own!.

I might just have to record my cover of "When I'm Sixty-Four" now. I arranged it for my band to cover and it just never happened.

Well.. only 3 years late.

When I'm Sixty-Four - http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=767488&songID=6763725

I haven't been to this site for like 8 months. Whoops. I certainly didn't forget about this thread when I recorded this song the other day. :)

Everything was recorded with an MXL991. Bass is my guitar whammied down an octave. Drums were just me recording a kick, snare, and cymbals separately. Ha.

I'm not huge on the vocals, but I wasn't about to go nuts over a cover when I was that stuffy. :p

Sorry for the big bump, if it matters.
 
perhaps someones mentioned it before,i didn't read all 19 pages,

but did anyone see the show in abbey road, using all the old gear.

it was a sgt peppers birthday celebration, with covers from the album done by brian adams, stereophonics, razorlight etc

i have copies if anyone cares. :)

Congratulations. I really like your cover. It really does justice to the song - includes all the 'right' elements that we know and love - at the same time as you putting your own stamp on it. I really like the vocal.

How did you do the guitar down an octave?

Congrats, once again,
 
that's a pretty good version ... the ending vocal segment is very ingenious.
I wonder if John Lennon would have done that ?

are you the same guy who posted a few years back (here or another site) a song called Alright (or similar title) that is heavy on the synths and very old Genesis sounding ?
If so, IMHO, it's the best original posted in a forum like this.
