Hexus Musician Cover Version Challenge.

[Bazzlad]

After the disappointment of the Hexus "Perfect Day" cover - we all made video sections to the song perfect day, with videos and vocals (and a guitar solo from me) - it never got made

I got to thinking of a way to keep us Hexus Musicians busy.
Lately I've noticed a lot of Cover a track websites in the style of youtube, and was thinking of adding a vid or two to one, but I think I can improve the idea.

Musicians, let yourself be known, and other hexusites can get involved by dishing out the songs to cover.

Sound good?

Here's how I envision it working.

People suggest songs to the group - one is chosen.

Each challenge will start on a Monday and you have till Sunday to enter.

The following week a thread with the videos/mp3's is created with a vote option - vote for your winner.


What dya think? HeXus Factor or what?

Chocolate Rain.

[unreal]

Heh I can do a hiphop mix

[Bazzlad]

I'll rock up that mother

[pollaxe]

Great idea and can I just say an "Oh my, yes!" to the Chocolate Rain suggestion?

[Bazzlad]

Chocolate Rain is looking popular, anyone got any other ideas?

[Bazzlad]

I actually think that'd be a good one to do - that bloke's voice is something else

[unreal]

Well chocolate rain would be easy because he posted an acapella up that we can work with ;o

[kidzer]

Sure, I'd be up for it, sounds fun!

I am only one guitar though, I'd have to MIDI the bass/drums/any other instruments.

[BlackDwarf]

I'm bass..... Need a bassline? Gimme a shout

[unreal]

We could seriously make some sort of long-distance band lol... a really weird one but a band regardless

[Bazzlad]

It can be a remix, it can be an acoustic cover, a full band, done alone, done as a group, whatever.

It's looking like chocolate rain unless other people suggest other songs.

Prepares for deep voice. *COUGH*

*Chocolate RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN*

[kickstart 1]

I can do lights ..! or backing singer ? Bestest voice ..'dont you want me baby , doooont you waaaaant me oooooooo. '

[g8ina]

I'll just sweep up after you lot have left (my music making days are sadly long passed).

Mind you, I did make a LOT in my yoof, with a couple of home made analogue synths. Pics on request

[Lee H]

heh... all you lot can make & play things, I'm just the equivalent of Bez from the happy Mondays.

In other words - I'll get drunk and dance like a baffoon
