I like him. How can you not be awesome with a name like that?

If this really gets going (meaning, I get audio files from people) I might see if I can grab a sound byte of Tim Gunn, fuck it over with effects, and turn it into a loop for our next project.

also, I think it'd be hilarious if the cult got together and made one of these:

this is truly funny to watch, whether you hate gaga or not.

That didn't make any sense to me until I watched the original video. That didn't make any sense either, but I liked it. Which makes me appreciate this spoof.

So far I've liked every one of her videos.

Considering we (or I) had very briefly considered doing this as a video sort of project, it would be cool to get video from people just lip synching to the same song, then cut it together into one.

I'll do the vocals... as long as it IS a slipknot song or something. See also:

Rise Against
RHCP
FFDP
Breaking Benjamin
Atreyu
SOAD (I'd prefer Malakian's verses)

Also, didn't read the entire thread. If this is over or something......

my bad.

Ahem. Um... bump?

I would die to do a SOAD song, Though starlight is a priority. I can play Radio/Video and Old school hollywood on Piano. I'll sing Serj for either of those too. What songs were you thinking of?

No no no, we evolved from monkeys. Our entertainment, on the contrary, has remained the same.

I didn't say we didn't evolve from monkeys, but what I meant is that we've changed from having idiots for entertainment, whom aren't too funny anymore, to having people with IQs greater than that of a rock such as most of the culties.

Irelocus and I have agreed on Starlight by Muse. Are you familiar with that song? and also, what will you be playing?

The intro is just four bars of G on bass, the tempo is about 116 (and If you record with the CD playing in your headphones, then we'll all be on the same beat anyways, for those of you without metronomes.)

The best tabs/music I've found are here: Chords | Piano for intro

Here's the adjusted list of people who showed interest and haven't backed out or said they were kidding (I think it's complete now)

  • Singers:
  • Z
  • Mike
  • Taylor
  • Audrey
  • bigshrimpn
  • Guitar:
  • Anthony : check
  • Bass:
  • Nick
  • Texture:
  • Tuffy
  • Mixing:
  • Anthony or Mike
  • Piano/keyboards:
  • Mike

I'm pretty good to go, but in the meantime I may give it another take or two. Why not?

Who's still in?

I play blues lead guitar but I don't have much for recording right now (just a direct audio input line to my computer). If you send me the file once you have all the other tracks down I can probably put a solo down or just some background voicing. But it would really depend on the style of music. I don't do metal or punk (not cause I'm a snob, I just suck at shred solos).

Anyway, if you put something together that's bluesy or folksy send it my way and I'll see if I can work my magic. I have a Fender Jaguar that hasn't received enough attention lately.

Sounds good. If this song (Starlight/Muse) doesn't come together soon, we can go that direction for sure. I love the blues.

Plus, you can use whatever instruments for a blues tune, you don't have to follow any rules if you don't want to. Not nearly as confining as doing a pop cover.

If this turns into a blues thing, I'm in. Cause I am a snob.

Okay, has anyone besides me done anything?

Because if so, we should move on to a different song/genre/group/etc....

Could be an original or a blues tune (or an original blues tune). I don't care, I just want to do something. I haven't had a music project or band in almost a year now, I'm dying here. My tube amp is just looking depressed in the corner there.

Well, there was some shit and then I left for a while and it looks like no one else seems to have been committed.

For the record, I had my parts finished and somewhat mixed down.

Maybe we can fail at this idea again sometime.

What format do you use? I'll have to get it from my backup disk wen I get home. I dumped all the files off my hard drive after a while, it was taking up a lot of space.

How did you record it? I mean, what file is it in now? Because I'm no master at mixing and all I have is Garageband, but I guess I could do a little using that
