excuse the daumbassery ive never enetered a cover contest, but we post the song/link in this thread?

and can we submit more than one song or only one

[HeartInACage]

Yeah, post it on this page.
And Id prefer it if you submitted one, but If you have like 2 favorites, then Id understand.

[aaronni]

I'm in, I would like to do either Under The Bridge or Californication but I'm not sure. When do the covers have to be in?
Oh and are backing tracks eg drums and bass allowed?

[jof1029]

can i just submit the cover i did when there was a RHCP cover contest earlier this summer? ill probably touch it up a bit, but would you really care if i just used something i already have? if not, put me down for On Mercury. if so, well i dont have time for another recording cause ive got my own contest running atm (which people should enter btw).

[False_God]

I'll do Dani California or californiacation

[tauket2]

I'm doing either Zephyr Song or Desecration Smile

-chris-

[RHCP026]

count me in for give it away

[Peaceful Rocker]

I hosted the last chili peppers contest, it went alright.

i'll enter for Under The Bridge,

[False_God]

I think one of us should take it over. seriously this fellas not interested.

[RAGEING_BAD_@$$]

i'll judge

[HeartInACage]

Nah, Im still in, i was just away for the weekend, my bad.

But yeah, all this seems good.

And to those who asked:
YOu can submit past recordings and drum bass midi tracks are fine, although I doubt youll win over a fully recorded band purely because itll sound better.

Oh, and Raging bad ass...whats your favorite Chili song?

[R~H~C~P]

Could i judge please?

[HeartInACage]

Well the Judge Test is what is your favorite RHCP song?

And no, im not gonna make sure its similar to mine. Im making sure all the judges dont have the same favorite songs so that if one judge only loves the early albums, then there will be another who loves the newer stuff to balance it out.

[R~H~C~P]

Cant Stop
Sir Psycho Sexy
Scar Tissue

they're my favourite chili's songs

i do prefer the newer stuff but the old funkier stuff still rocks!

[HeartInACage]

alright dude...your a judge

[HeartInACage]

[Gibson_Rocker13]

manage attachments doesnt work oh crap im screwed

[AdamDK]

I'll enter Californication if you're allowed to have more than one person entering the song.

[HeartInACage]

[juniorfr3ak]

just saying I'm gonna try and do either scar tissue or maybe Walkabout but I don't think I have time to perfect Walkabout... actually I don't know if I have time to do Scar Tissue either but I'l try

[R_H_C_P]

Damn my lack of decent microphone! *cough*and vocal talants...*cough*

I'd do a cover of Quixoticelixer if I could, but sorry!

[juniorfr3ak]

Alright I finished Scar Tissue with vocals and a bass backing track
I did the whole song on my accoustic, (because I own a crap squier strat)
but my point I had to do the slide solo on my accoustic...
but not with an ordinary slide, because I couldn't find my glass slide
I used a knife, it was pretty cumbersome and I couldn't pull off the last solo
Hope you guys enjoy it,

Only song on there http://www.purevolume.com/afriendofarealmusician

[jof1029]

i have a version up on my dmusic (in sig) but im gonna try to edit up a bit this weekend. mostly cause the vocals are bad. as in bad bad. but yeah, if i forget, my entry is just what is currently on my dmusic.

[juniorfr3ak]

is the guy running this contest gonna do anything
actually he hasn't posted anything in the last 28 days
I almost think someone else should take over

[jof1029]

^ well everything is due today, so basicly all we need is everyone to get their stuff in then someone to set it up. then the judging must begin, and i think there were a few people who wanted to do it. feel free to take over if you want. collect the links of everyone whos posted thiers so far and PM the judges and participants who havent posted a link to make sure they know they have till tonight to finish. basicly just take over if you think thats what needs to be done. id do it but my internet is being evil

my cover is on my D-music-
http://jof1029.dmusic.com/music/
its On Mercury Cover 2

Hooray this is fun!!!

[Gibson_Rocker13]

ill have pretty little ditty on soon. its on my computer at my moms and im at my dads

[juniorfr3ak]

what do you guys think we should do
give like 5 more days or something?
and I need ideas on how to set up a voting system

[jof1029]

^ i dont think we should give 5 more days, id say 2 at the max. for voting i would say that the judges rank their top 8 or 10, giving points for the ranking. if we have a few judges, then that should work out. anyone who didnt finish should be given the option of being a judge so they can still participate. something like that is what ive come up with.

and thanks for taking over juniorfr3ak, good to see this going places.

[Glen'sHeroicAct]

under the bridge file doesnt work

[juniorfr3ak]

Great Ideas
anyone who can't get the link to their cover in 2 days is eligible to be a judge
Judges will list their 4 favorite songs in order of Best to Worse, (We only have 5 links in right now and if alot more get put in I will add more slots in the voting)

First - 5
Second - 4
Third - 3
Fourth - 1

PM me if you have any valid objections or suggestions

[RHCP026]

hey ill have mine in litttle later today, jsut tweaking a few things

[Wounded Hamster]

Man, just so people know, a lot of those links don't work for me, and thus might not for the judges. I can't get the covers of False God, RHCP026, mentaldonkey182 and dEipHoBoS.

[jof1029]

^ false god and RHCP026 work for me, but mentaldonkey and deiphobos's dont. the first two are putfile accounts, which sometimes i have problems with but both seem to be working for me. the other two dont seem to exist tho.
