It would be nice if we got a bunch of songs together and chose one to be submitted to the Cover Competition between all the threads and get that back together. That was a really good idea.

Its cause MetalHEad617 was the guy running it and he hasnt been around much recently so it just kinda died out.

Dr. Jake Destructo actually tried to revive it and take control but the threads never came up with anything, except the Tool thread which has like a complete song and 2 that just need vocals.

So instead of us all working on the same song we're gonna submit our own cover and everyone votes on it?

D[B]amn[/B], I don't know a drummer. I'd rather we all work on it together and then submit it. This way we'd be able to have quality musicians playing instead of having to borrow the first person that acts like they can play.

I don't think we should all do our own songs..
If someone wants to do rhythm, lead or bass for FWTBT go ahead, I might do rhythm, but I'll see.. :p

No no no. The competition I was talking about was between the threads, not the people in the threads. So like all of us in the Metallica thread produce a cover and submit it, than say the Tool thread will submit one, the Black Sabbath thread, Pink FLoyd thread and so on. Then, everyone votes on it.

Oh, ok that's cool.

Well then let's get a set list going then. :thumb:
We'll pick out the best one after we record most of these to see which sounds best. Do you guys agree?


Some ideas that I had.
Call of the Ktulu (still need to learn it all the way through)
Master of Puppets
Seek and Destroy
(here's a hard one) Blackened
For Whom The Bell Tolls
The Thing That should not be (I have to learn this for my class anyways)

or................

My favorite Metallica song
Harvester of Sorrow

I would love to work with you noble people on fwtbt if we can get a line up
and start working on it!
here's what I can contribute

rrythym
lead
bass
singing
and maybe some producing/mixing
just let me know it's [email]brittonmadcap@yahoo.com[/email]

I can do the rhythm parts to metallica songs pretty well, it's just those d[B]amn[/B] leads that get me.

Just like James, I've got one hell of a fast downstroke (no pun intended :naughty: )





Talk to you guys tomorrow. I gotta get some sleep. I got to go to school and deal with a bunch of boring music theory classes. :rolleyes:

Okay lightningmetal666 on rythym
brittallica on bass
drums.................
lead...................

Lightning if you want to record the rythym and send it to me
I can probably fill in the bass in the next week or so

I have a few different takes of the drums by my brother, he hasn't been playing very long and reckons his drumming's pretty ****, it does the job though, so meh..
I could do 'lead' although there's not really any solos in For Whom The Bell Tolls...

It's a shame i don't have a drum kit at my house. I can play the drums to FWTBT.

[QUOTE=brittallica]
and another thing I was thinking we could have a little compitition in this thing
maybe one group who does one song and another group that does another and we
see who's is better, good idea?

or they could do the same song...that way more people can be envolved[/QUOTE]

dude, I said that yesterday...I said we should have online bands, with each band doing a cover song and with each member of the band doing a instrument and then posting there part to the main guy or something, who would put the song together. Then we make a thread with a poll, 'Which Is The Best Cover Song' and the threadmaker posts each of the finished songs so people can listen to them and vote. Like a online battle of the bands. Lightningmetal666 said audio area already got it covered :angry: Im gonna check it out, but i reckon we do it anyway, but just metallica covers. Because, think about it, the audio area is checked out by people who like different genres of music, so if we posted a metallica cover in there, and there was a punk cover song, and a punk guy comes along, hes gonna vote for the punk song most likely. If we kept this internal then only rock & metal, or even metallica fans would vote, which wouldnt bias the voting, and the TRUE best metallica cover would win because it was voted for by metallica fans.

outburst over

oh and sorry about the spamming yesterday, my bad :(

Im going to plan that out now, I think it would be better...It aint stickied in the Audio Arena, so I dont know, maybe it wasnt that popular because of the fact voters came from different genres of music, like i said ^^ ?

They already did that about June man. No one really wanted to do it except for the Tool thread.
I'm not saying we should make it a competition, I'm simply saying we should just get some covers out there for one of our favourite bands.

why not? prize could be winning band members get repped?

I would try to help out in this, but my recordings would suck tone-wise cause I'd have to end up using audacity and the line in on my pc.

yeah, but then it doesnt matter. If the recording quality aint great, you cant miss out on votes because 'you dont have a recording studio'. If i was too record it would be this basic: guitar > amp > computer microphone (background noise?)

Even then, don't think anyone would really care.
I think it should just be left to threads to do their own work, if they want to compete, have something to show first...

I would really like it if we could get a Metallica cover down first, and [b]then[/b] start thinking about a competition.

Edit: :lol: To get the drum track down, all we did was hang our computer microphone at the door of the room the drums are in (That was as far as the chord would reach :upset: - Even then, it's still a good 5-6 metres away from the drum kit). The quality is horrible, half way through the microphone moves and the sound gets all scruffled for a few seconds :lol:

But that's only for a few more weeks, we'll be moving the drums etc. into a shed soon :p
Won't be that much better, but will make a difference.

yeah...what song? they were on about For Whom The Bell Tolls yesterday (UK time)...what instrument do you play?

I play a bit of everything.. :p

I have the For Whom The Bell Tolls drum track down (Hence how the talk started :cool: ), so I would be prepared to do the full song, I *could* do vocals, I can do the rhythm guitar/lead guitar (Although, as I said, there's really not much lead work for For Whom The Bell Tolls), and if Brittallica wasn't prepared I could try the bass.
Granted, I'm only decent at guitar though :p
I'd like to see Gocaps taking a position on guitar if possible..

Maybe after For Whom The Bell Tolls, we could try Seek & Destroy?
But let's not get ahead of ourselves, like last time.

Id do rhythm but:
1.) i think someone is already doing it
2.) i plug a microphone into my comp and put it next to my amp and use the windows sound recorder. you could call me basic... :p so yeah, it would sound ****

oh and by the way, about the lead, I said yesterday I think about the lead player making up a solo/lead fills and adding them :)

[QUOTE=Chu]we could try Seek & Destroy?
But let's not get ahead of ourselves, like last time.[/QUOTE]
indeed, seek and destroy was the first song that came to my mind to cover, but as I said I'd have to pay around with my set up so that my recordings don't sound like pure electric noise.

side note, could someone point me in the right direction/upload the real master of puppets tab? Ive got the power tabs one, which is wrong Ive been told, and I dont trust Guitar Pro for metallica tabs, its all personal opinion

I'd be recording same as you (That's how I did the drums) :lol:

Just because someone *might* be doing it already is no reason for you not to.
We can compare them and decide which is the better version.

It would be cool to add in an improvised solo.

Edit: I have a Powertab Master of Puppets tab, it seems fine to me, maybe the solos out, but I have no intention of playing the solo so even if it was I wouldn't care.

*getting amp + guitar*

thats another thing, tempo...the drums should be uploaded first so people can work off them

I'll have to check with my brother if he wants the recording put online..
It's 12:13am here, so he's alseep (As I will be shortly), so I'll post back here tomorrow with an answer.
Until then just play along with Powertab or the actual song.
I actually wanted him to do them a tiny bit faster then on the CD but he wouldn't.
We both checked it, and it matches up with the CD Recording pretty well, so that's about right :thumb:

Edit: My whole family are Metallica fans, even my parents :lol:

my parents HAVE to be metallica fans by now, the amount I play there stuff :p
god, its 3:15 in the day here. im gonna record the rhythm now

Ok, that will be sweet :thumb:
I'm going to bed now though, so goodnight.

My Dad only listens to Metallica's instrumentals though, The Call of Ktulu and Orion, I've tried To Live is To Die, but he's not a fan.
