betamax Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 I could record the sound of me chopping up a pile of acoustic intruments with an axe, does that count? It would be for charity obviously. Donation of your vile acoustic devices for such a good cause* would be greatly welcome. *charity of choice - TBA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threeornothing Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 a cover means very little unless you know the original and there are not that many good bands that i would imagine wanting people to hear them play a song that doesn't necessarily suit their style. /xIt's funny, not that long ago (and it will pick up again soon I'm sure) the charts were fucking full of crap covers (or looped samples) of songs which the consuming public had no idea about who the original artists were, and in most cases thought the original was the crap cover!!

Frosty Jack Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 A 'project', either live or recorded is not going to work. What I was referring to was a general point that bands should for their own benefit be able to take a song that's not theirs and put their own spin on it. Challenge yourselves by picking someone elses song that is unlike anything you would ever write yourselves, and see what you can do with it. Surely that can only broaden your own horizons and improve your band? Maybe also for the other band who gets to hear a whole new take on their creation?I just think it would be a nice thing to see at a gig now and again.

Guest DustyDeviada Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 OK, how about a different spin on things, something I'd been thinking about for a while, and along the same lines as the Elvis thing.How about an aberdeen-music.com benefit gig in the form of "Stars in Their Eyes"?So not just a tribute to one particular artist, but each band chooses one artist to cover. ie "Tonight Matthew, Baby Karma are going to be Dire Straits"*Opinions on a Stars in Their Eyes night?*The example of Dire Straits is for illustrative purposes only, I would need to run that past them.

Put one on if you feel you must, but it's only fair to warn you that I'll be lurking outside the venue with a can of petrol and a Swan Vesta or two.You're joking, surely?

Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 I'd do it if I could drink a bottle of bleach beforehand resulting in myself being physically sick all over the venue and causing everyone to have to go home early. On a side note I may also die as a result of this.Petrol, matches and now add bleach to the equation. It'll get nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not being defensive...it's just that Mickel Mass is non-repetitive, totally un-song improvising.Covering Kitchen Cynics would be easy, though, as it's very structured and simple:up: (you'd still hate it though!)
