It ain't worthy but it was a challange

[Track Rat]

I suppose there's no excuses. I went down stairs this morning with the intention to do the 1.5 challenge but I didn't know what to do so I pulled this old cover tune outta my ass. And it's covered with fecal material. The keys at the end suck so bad I'm not sure why I'm putting it up other than I want to play and it DID take less than an hour and a half.

Guitars sound great, voice is excellent. Good clean mix.

And you already warned us about the keys...

Good work.

 

[Track Rat]

I thank you people. You're way too kind. Working without a net is fun but scary. Gimme about four days and a DAW and I'm Kieth Emerson

 

[Lt. Bob]

One of my favorite tunes of all time and you have done an excellent job on this...(well, I haven't gotten to the keyboard part yet ) I've always loved this song. You've got the opening guitar just right. And your vocals are perfect for it. My wife was sitting in the living room and asked " Is this one of the 1.5 tunes. I told her ir was....she couldn't believe it.

Nice nice work.

OK...\here's the keys......well...that's not too bad. The sound isn't right but the playing is.

 

[Guernica]

Damn dude,
..this really kicks ass. ..........very nice work....... Now, did you really do all of this in 1.5 hrs???? j/k

The vocs in this are just great.....as is the guitar...... .....as is everything about it.


g w/ a BIG 5 for quality at light speed!!!!

 

[erichenryus]

never heard this song before. nice job. i'm amazed at the stuff you guys are doing in 90 minutes! yeah, the keys solo at the end was a bit of a mess but all of the guitar work was excellent. nice vocals as well.

this challenge turned out to be a great idea, doncha think? man we need another forum just for this!

 

[Myx62]

Damn dude, 1.5? Great job on the intro gtr. Ive always loved this song. Dokken covered this on their dysfunctional CD as well.....
All around well done for 1.5 to say the least. Go thru and clean it up and repost it sometime.....
Myx

 

[Jamal Bucket]

Cool... you captured the "stuff" which is the hard part, the frilly shit is ear candy anyways. I'd hate to be told "you got 1.5 hrs or your fired", I'd probly just throw up in my shirt pocket....

 

[mixmkr]

so...how do you remember songs from 25 years ago? I couldn't play something like a Wishbone Ash tune if I had to!!

you got the vibe down really good.
the only thing I really missed was the gtr chromatic run, just befor the solo...otherwise... and I am actually most impressed with your singing..

great cover... would go over live just great at this quality, for sure....and you let it "fall apart" just about right at the end too..!

 

[bobbo]

Oh yeah, I love this tune. You did an exellent job with it track rat. Very nice.

 

[Jagular]

WOW!!

I too am old enough to really like this song

Nice work man

 

[joro]

Man oh man...........

This is one of my all time favorite tunes

I saw ELP 5 times in concert in the 70's...

You did a great job man....shit....you definitely are a talented dude....super tight...

best 1.5 yet!

****** (six stars )


We should vote on this stuff....
Have a poll or something...

hmmmm...

There's one thing this little exercise has taught me, listening to all the 90 minute miracles. There's some talanted sumbitchs hangin out around here.
