I've heard some great covers from people on this site over the past couple of years. Post your song here so we have them all in one place!
 
I second that motion

I would love to hear what some of this incredible talent around here, could do on some cover tunes.
Don't Be Shy Folks, Show Us What You've Got !
One of these days, I'll have enough time to put together something for everyone else to laugh at. Peace, Silver
 
I got a cover of:

For no one - Beatles
Life in the fast lane - Eagles
Ms Vanderbilt - Paul M
On The Pipe - Steve Morse
Never Before - Deep Purple
Don't do me like that - Tom Petty
Who are You - The Who

Most of them suck bad.

I see this thread took off...!

:)
 
Emeric - Would love to hear your tunes! Can you post a link for them?
 
No-Links - No covers posted anywhere.

Covers can be a lot of fun though, was hoping more would ante.
 
I posted a cover of The Cure's "Close To Me" a while ago for shits 'n giggles....



Bruce
 
A goof on Santo and Johnny's "Sleepwalk" via a poorly maintained six year old cassette and a crappy deck (complete with the hiss, wow, and flutter you'd expect). Guitar and sequenced samples recorded and mixed in an afternoon back in '92 (on ADAT, I think).

low-fi, 64kbps ~1.7M
 
I got a crap-load of covers!!!

James Brown
Kool &the Gang!
Brecker Bros
Frankie Beverly& Maze
Earth Wind & Fire,
Donald Byrd & the BlackByrds
Average White Band
Tower of Power
etc,etc,etc.


But I love doing James Brown the best!! No links yet But I will post some this weekend!
 
I've only been involved with acoustic/electric duos, but have a shit-load of tapes from those days. A lot of one hit wonders like Drift Away (Dobie Gray), lost 45's like No Matter What (BadFinger), and an array of 70's rock including Hotel California (with the entire lead - original version - at the end / not easy on one acoustic/electric guitar with distortion). I'll try to get some of them up on my website... ...I've been promising my old bandmate I would. I'll post the URL when I get them up and running. Tom.
 
I even got a rap-vocal cover of Jackie Wilson's 60's hit
"Your Love Keeps Liftin' Me Higher"

I do a lot of covers to try and emulate the techniques the songs' engineer used in recording & mixing.
 
Little Wing Live at the Hollywood Palladium 1979

OK I got burned by Streamload and Waldos Nowhere Radio (literally) :) no offense Waldo :) but shit I go through all the hoops to post my stuff with the links and then nobody can get to them... What an exercise in futility!!! Anyway here's my latest attempt at posting a MP3 for people to listen to at "no Charge" give this a try. Again the guitarist here is Dave Macias and the band is Cheap Day Return. I was the keyboardist of which what I did in this song was minimal at best. Little Wing ala CDR live at the Hollyweird Palladium 1979


I would of posted the Star Spangled banner purple haze tune but she said it was too big! The webmistress that is ;)
 
You didn't get burned, I got burned.

Show up at the meeting on Sunday and you'll know about it.

W.
 
Like I said Waldo no offense. At least you are truly Free. I know from what you've been posting that you are sincere and trying your best. Where I feel burned is in all the time I put into signing up uploading and then posting the song with a link. Then noone can download the damn thing in Steamloads situation it is as i see it a stinking scam. They get you in there claiming FREE and then as soon as you have something like 10 mb of downloads they shut you off and try and sell you a monthly plan cause your getting too many downloads on the Freeloader" plan In your case it worked for a day or 2 then for whatever reasons nobody could get to it. I'm not complaining bout the price cause that can't be beat just the frustration and embarassment of posting a dead link. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavor and I'll be the first to try again once I'm sure you've got it dialed in.

Good Luck!
 
Things aren't going to be free for long, see, it's not free for me to keep the site up, and now that I have no job, I can't afford the line or the gear. Which is why the site is there, but there is no media-server.

NoWhere needs to have an income stream to support itself, and that's what the meeting will be about. One thing most people don't get is that the net is expensive to keep running, and the advertising market is at 1% of what it was a year ago... So, ads don't even cut 1/100th of the bill anymore.

More at the meeting man, I did my best to help you all out, but now I am in serious, serious, serious financial trouble.

W.
 
Waldo I probably just don't understand exactly what your doing or how your going about it. I've got to assume trying to pull off something the likes of what your concept is, could be pricy. No job or income will surely put the brakes on it. Good luck finding a job.

I scouted web host and found "Feature Price" to be pretty competitive and had some very attractive packages. I don't know if this is enough bells and whistles for you but at $25 a month it would take a long time to get into serious financial trouble. I cut and pasted the feature price platinum plan below.Seems like a lot of bang for the buck. I especially like the World-Class Data Center (60kW military DIESEL backup
generator, hermetically sealed air-conditioned
server-rooms, motion detectors, security steel at
entrance)
for those pesky terrorist...Check it out.. TAE

The Details:


(1) Armada of Features

For reviewing the full list of features that are included with the Platinum Package, please review the
Application Functionality page. All features listed on this page are included in the Platinum Package.


(2) Physical Quality Hosting - www.yourname.com

We do not provide cheap "virtual hosting" or "virtual server" solutions as many of our competitors do. Here you get FULL
PHYSICAL HOSTING. What does this mean? This means that with this physical hosting account you will be able to host your
very own domain name: www.yourname.com

Explore the benefits of physical hosting! Your website will be reachable via both http://www.yourname.com as well as
http://yourname.com. You will not have to carry our name in your website's address - your website address will ONLY show
www.yourname.com. In addition to that you will get your very own FTP server at ftp.yourname.com and your very own
mailserver for email services at mail.yourname.com (includes SMTP services).


(3) Web Based Management Interface

This browser-based control facility allows you to control every aspect of your Feature Price account. From creating and
modifying email mailboxes, password protecting directories over to creating FTP accounts - you can manage everything that
could be managed. Best of all, it is a *totally automated* solution. Don't wait for our response for a request - simply use your
control panel and do-it-yourself, INSTANTLY. Click Here to learn more about our control panel!


(4) UNLIMITED Megabytes of Web Space

Do not fool around with web hosting providers with stingy plans - 25, 10 or even 5 megabytes - that's ridiculous. We provide
you with a UNLIMITED megabytes of web space with no restrictions and no requirements (note: adult content is strictly
prohibited). You are allowed to use 1000 megabytes, 2000 megabytes or more if necessary - may it be for a professional
picture archive, a photo gallery, a MP3 website - it does not matter.


(5) One (1) free Domain Registration

You are allowed to register 1 domain name for no additional charge with the Platinum Package. You read correctly: There is no
setup fee, no annual fee, no InterNIC, no nothing fee except the monthly subscription rate for the package. Once you have
established your hosting account we will immediately register the free domain name for you. You can also order the package
with your existing domain name and make use of the free domain registration later - anytime while you host with us.


(6) Host up to 6 Domain Names

You are allowed to host up to 6 domain names for no additional charge with the Platinum Package. These domain names will
have full email services and their own control interface. They will be hosted totally independent of each other. Although the
domains are all being hosted in the same hosting account, they are physically totally seperate of each other and therefore
they can have distinct, totally different content.


(7) Host up to 10 Subdomains

What is a subdomain? While a domain name is a full website address, totally independent of other domain names, a
subdomain depends on a domain name. If for example "yourname.com" is your domain name, then a subdomain name would
be a name under your domain name, something like http://somethinghere.yourname.com. You are allowed to host up to 10
subdomains for no additional charge with the Platinum Package. These domain names will have full email services and their
own control interface. Just like the additional domains they can also have their own, distinct content.


(8) Capability

If you need a database for your website, our mySQL database backend is the right solution for you. We run mySQL server
3.23.32 on our machines - one of the latest stable releases. You will be able to administrate your mySQL database with a
browser based program, written in PHP.


(9) SSL protected website

If you want to process electronic transactions with your website this is a mandatory feature. If one of your clients fill out an
online order form, this feature encrypts the information and safely sends it to your email address. It is not possible for
hackers to intercept that data and even if they did - no benefit, as it is encrypted. Please note that a SSL certificate is *not*
included, however the SSL address will also work without an certificate.


(10) Static *and* Dedicated IP address

You will get your own static and dedicated IP address. IP addresses are going quick on the Internet today, grab yours quickly,
before it is too late! With a full physical hosting account on a static *and dedicated IP, you will always be able to reach your
website's files, regardless if your domain name is responding or not. Therefore it is an extremely valuable resource for fixing
problems that may arise with your domain name. In addition to that you will be able to test your website thoroughly before
you decide to transfer your domain name to your website.


(11) Full unlimited Email Services

The Platinum Package includes a full range of email services without any limitations. You can create unlimited POP3 email
boxes, webmail accounts, email redirects and forwarders (similar to email aliases), auto responders, mailing groups (similar
to mailling lists). Once you have established your hosting account simply login to your control panel to start using your email
services.


(12) Full unlimited FTP Services

The Platinum Package includes a full range of FTP services without any limitations. You can create unlimited FTP user
accounts in your control panel. The FTP user's address will then look like this: www.yourname.com/~ftpuser. That way you
could offer small hosting services to mini website owners who do not need their own domain name. Once you have established
your hosting account simply login to your control panel to start creating FTP users.


(13) No forced Advertisements

Feature Price will never - ever - put advertisements on your website. Unlike many free hosting companies or
nickel-and-dimer deals, Feature Price does NOT include advertisements and therefore your website will stay totally
advertisement free. You can still put your own advertisements on your pages to earn revenue off of your website's traffic if
you want, but Feature Price will not deface your website by forced advertisements.
 
They can't handle the bandwidth with only DS3, T3 and DS1... (We were afterall hosted originally on OC-192) Plus, zero mention of per byte transfer rates, and we all know, that's where the money is. Everything else they have listed I already got (and most of it is free software).

They ONLY accept American credit cards (which I own none of), and ONLY accept a YEARs payment in advance. Be WARNED, DO NOT sign with ANY company that ONLY accepts ONE YEARS payment in advance. The company could disappear tomorrow and reap HUGE profits from your loss.

They also do not support any sort of streaming media, which is a major fall back... And no telnet access to the server for my own 'special' modifications (plus no local access to the hardware itself).

Anyways, such a service isn't useful, but thanks for the thought.

Oh yeah, I did just find their little tidbit about per byte transfer rates and high-bandwidth useage: "If you use that much data transfer, we truly recommend that you wait for our high bandwidth plans which we will release in the next two months. Until then, we recommend that you host your websites with companies whom have a high allowance of data transfer. Please note that companies offering "unlimited" transfer are very likely to shut down your website once they notice it transfers a high amount of data."

*puts an X through this companies name*
