Challenge pitch - the rebels recreate a record
Re: Challenge pitch - the rebels recreate a record
I would do The Chain, if we were choosing. I did do Dreams in a cover band way way back. Even sang it. Thankfully, this was never documented.

Re: Challenge pitch - the rebels recreate a record
I'll have to give the album a listen. Dreams, Go Your Own Way, and the Chain are the only ones I know by name.
Re: Challenge pitch - the rebels recreate a record
I don't like the Rumours album. I don't like that era of Mac - Mac n Squeeze.
The bass outro to the Chain could've/should've been a whole other song.

Re: Challenge pitch - the rebels recreate a record
We could go in a meta direction and pick an album that's already all covers. Like Bowie's Pin Ups or something.

Re: Challenge pitch - the rebels recreate a record
Well, we're not going to find something that everybody is interested in participating in. And you don't/can't do covers anyway.

Just reiterating what Ray has stated many times to be the case, on both counts. Unless I'm misremembering.

Re: Challenge pitch - the rebels recreate a record
Lol! Or we could do covers of a tribute album! Bowiesongs1 maybe.
Ok, I've put in a poll. Everything that had at least 2 people say they'd be down for it (all 3 of those) are in it. I'll update it as more folks chime in. (tho it'll be next week some time as I'm going to a jazz fest this weekend)
Re: Challenge pitch - the rebels recreate a record
I did a cover a few years back, Leonard Cohen's Joan of Arc with CeeBee/Chris.
I had one ready to go for the 50s thing - music sorted etc. but couldn't get the Johnny Ray vocal sorted well enough.
I'm always happy to be the "Oh well, you...anyway" fellow when it comes to clubs though.

Re: Challenge pitch - the rebels recreate a record
people who object to doing covers aren't musicians ,,,, just to stir the pot.
Re: Challenge pitch - the rebels recreate a record
I don't object - it more the case that I can't sing 'em. To cover is to collab for me.

Re: Challenge pitch - the rebels recreate a record
Likewise, I've never done a cover. It's not an ideological objection but a matter of time. No matter where I've lived, one part of the process - singing - has always been bound by a number of variables I can't control, and gets difficult. So I focus on my own stuff in the time I have.
Re: Challenge pitch - the rebels recreate a record
I vote either B 52s or Nirvana because I don't know anything about them so that would be interesting.
As for the cover thing .... every single musician I know likes to play music ..... just as happy playing country one night, originals the next and pit band for a play the next.
Playing music is playing music.
If OTOH you want to only play your originals then you're a songwriter.
not a bad thing to be ..... absolutely the best chance to make some real money.
i'm not a songwriter and I don't give the least little shit what I play. I also have no chance of making serious bank like a songwriter does.
A primary goal of most musicians is virtuosity on their instrument .,.... you achieve that best by playing anything and everything.
Also covers don't have to be a slavish recreation of the original ... almost all the jazz greats played their own versions of others songs ( covers)

Re: Challenge pitch - the rebels recreate a record
Yeah, the Standards Books are jazz arrangements of older songs that any up n coming jazz player is expected to master.

Re: Challenge pitch - the rebels recreate a record
Bob, if we did Nevermind, you should do a song called In Bloom. It's melodically a little unusual and you could drop a cracking sax solo in it.Lt. Bob wrote: ↑Sun Jul 30, 2023 1:35 am I vote either B 52s or Nirvana because I don't know anything about them so that would be interesting.

Re: Challenge pitch - the rebels recreate a record
Nevermind seems to be leading but not by a lot. Do we wanna just commit to that then?
Re: Challenge pitch - the rebels recreate a record
OK by me. I'd quite like to do a song towards the end of the album called Lounge Act.vomitHatSteve wrote: ↑Wed Aug 02, 2023 2:30 pm Nevermind seems to be leading but not by a lot. Do we wanna just commit to that then?
