Title: Tribute to GNR (by the fans)
Post by: BluesGNR on October 03, 2006, 05:32:31 PM
I'd like to put together a compilation of GNR covers performed by members of this board.  If anyone has recorded GNR covers (in relatively decent quality) and would like to submit it, please post either your interest or a link in this thread.  I think the album should be primarily complete tracks - either fully instrumental with an instrument playing the vocal track or with actual vocals.  However, clever cover versions should be accepted also.

I'm open to any ideas and this compilation would be distributed, at cost, to anyone that would like a copy. 

Anyone that would like to design a cover for this is more than welcome to.. the back cover will have to wait until a setlist is available.

Thanks to everyone and I hope that this generates a welcoming response.

 :peace:

Sounds good. I'm not musically-talented, but I'd be interested in buying this!

Good idea as usual, bro :yes:

Thanks and feel free to post it on your board.. I might try to stick it on a few others as well.. the more people involved, the better quality of product that we'll end up with.

You can use my SCOM as a sort of a last resort. But only if you don't have at least some decent quality version available.

And if so, it would have to be free for everyone. For more than one reasons, but the legal reason being that I don't own the rights to the backingtrack that I used.

Since you said free.. does that mean noone could charge for shipping?? I supposed megaupload works just as well but I was goint to do a clever lightscribe design, etc. on the disc itself.

And I'd be interested in your SCOM.  I'm probably submitting my version of Better that I just finished up

Tribute Album Signup List (Song - Name)
1. Better - BluesGNR
2. Mr. Brownstone - Russian Roulette
3. You Could Be Mine - Russian Roulette
4. Nightrain - Russian Roulette

I don't want to piss off Skinflick, but if duplicate songs are okay then I'd like to do those as well. Everyone thinks my singing is funny so I don't blame you guys if I get kicked off the final tracklist, but hell, I'll give it a shot just for shits n' giggles. If I actually try to sing I may be able to pull them off pretty good, problem is I usually end up whispering into the mic because my walls are so thin.  :hihi:

Deadline for signups will be 10.18.2006... deadline for completion will be 12.5.2006.  That gives me time to clean everything up and put it together for a little holiday distribution to board members.
