Mangling The Classics #9

This one was a grunt - I recorded the vocals sick as a dog, couldn't get my Roland to sound like a piano, and couldn't get Shania Twain to come over and rub my shoulders between takes. But it's better than picking lint out of my belly button. :roll:
Anyway, it was recorded all on my GNX4 except for \"vocals\". My standard layout: Jackson Performer SSH, Ibanez bass, GNX4, Roland Juno-60, and cheezy GNX drums.

    Hey shredd! This has got pretty good potential! I really like the action in your voice (vocals) You definitely have something distinctive and cool there!!! If this piece was polished up a bit it would really shine as far as being more accessible to the \"industry\" mind set. For my two cents worth though I like the rough and real (non-billion dollar studio) element.......Belly button lint?....OOOHHH!..............I feel a song comin' on! :)

    Wellll...as usual, I didn't spend near the time needed on it...nailing the effects, adding the little licks here n there, etc. Covers are kinda for fun, although I did spend a lot of time with Lunatic Fringe, mostly 'cuz I'm pretty lame on KB's. But then again, I didn't have a recorder that did \"virtual tracks\" then!
    But I don't polish them too much...besides, I don't play ANYthing well enough to really cover accurately, so mostly they're my \"interpretations\". And my singing voice (even when I'm not sick) isn't in a great register for most popular songs. I actually played this one in the original key and one step down, to see which'd come out better, and had to record it in the lower key. :oops:
    I tend to spend more time on my own projects and stuff I've written, so it'll sound like what I hear in my head. That's the fun. Except for when Shania Twain rubs my shoulders between takes. :twisted:

    I hear ya' man! With me doing my own shtick is pretty much the only thing!I'm not disciplined enough to do other folks stuff :) Plus when I make mistakes in playing or production I can just claim \"Hey man!\" \"That's the way it's supposed to sound!\" :) Putting down stuff you hear in your head can be a trip! Especially my head, (there's some weird stuff goin' on in thar\") :lol:

    Tell me about it. Have you listened to my \"Tasha\" stuff? That was directly generated from in-my-head daydreaming...\"I do what the voices in my head tell me to\"... :shock:
