Returned with a plan
 

Okay so, I've returned yadayadayada... hello hello hello..

But what I want to suggest to all you musicians/songwriters out there is that we create a little MB medley. We had the collabs thread where we already dabbled with this, but why not go the full way? Have some people on guitars etc. someone singing then others writing the songs... we could make a proper go of this people! I think the fact that we all have such diverse tastes and styles will only make this better. I have wrote many songs on my time away, some I really like but will only contribute to for a project like this as they are pretty personal.

I have no musical talent so I wouldn't mind doing the songwriting honours, or even singing.

Someone please reply to this, I think it's a pretty cool idea. Nobody else probably thinks so, but I'll stick my neck out there and see what **** happens.

I think its a good idea, we've got a lot of talented people on this board

Are they talented people who can be arsed though. That's the thing. I think everyone with an interest can be involved at somepoint. We could even make a regular thing out of this if all goes well.

I'd be down with, I lack a mic though...=/

I got a real cool mic the other day for 6 quid which lets me jump around while recording, unlike my other one. Sounds sad but I need to feel the energy. They are cheap now, surely you can just run out and get one!
And if not write us a song for the occasion :)

I, extremely broke, and my money when comes is typically wasted on other things =/. So i'll stick with the writing.

P.S. where've you been hobo? Seems like you havn't been on in ages.

Holiday for 2 weeks. It feels like an age for me to, being inside a caravan with nothing but a mobile phone for communication outside of your fellow holidayers isn't a nice thing to have happen to you.

Then again, I did get a ****load of money for my troubles which lead to a ****load of clothes etc. Oh, and if Fal reads this, THE BEADS BROKE!

I've got a good way to do this then, we'll have options open to people and wait for people to fill those slots....so....

Singer: hobojesus

Lead guitarist:

Bass: swimintheundertow

Guitarist:

Drums:

Keyboard:

Songwriter: hobojesus


Of course we don't need all of these, but we need at least 3, I'm hoping we'll get four on board really. So sign up simpletons!

I can play guitar and bass and the drummer in my band (draxus) has all of our good recording equipment at his house so I've got a good drummer in my back pocket. What kind of guitar stuff are you looking for?

I was thinking we get a guitar riff first, then work from that. Just do anything you feel, as long as it has a rythm to it and would be easy to produce upon. Send me it when you've done and I'll put it all into Audacity and compile everything everyone has done.

<.<

That's going to be a bit hard without some limitations hobo =/. Any genre prefferences? I could probably get my bassist to lay down a bass track to it.

That would be good. What's the genre that your band categorise themselves as?

umm...that's a tough one we try to stick with punk or pop-punk (melody wise) but we all also play in the Jazz Band at school. We're pretty versitle :D. But this shouldn't be WTF with MB it should be MB with members playing. Neither one of them post much but they're both members. I'll try to think of some guitar parts that are easy to expound upon.

Punk would be real good, try to give it that raw feeling, make it edgy. I can't explain upon this as I know nothing about guitars. :(

Can I call bass?

Yeah you can actually. So we have Moses as lead guitarist, swim as bass.

<.< I want a guitar part. I suck at bass.

Moses guitar, swim bass. Can I be cheeky and ask to be singer and songwriter? Seen as I thought up this project I'd like the first one we do to be a bit of my creation...

Moses, whenever you get around to writing something tab it out so I can mess around with opening and closing chords. Yea, Hobo, you should sing and I think it would be best if someone did drums with some program rather than recording.

I play drums, but I have nothing to record it with so sorry guys I can't help out with this:(

Buy a microphone, they are only cheap. I got the one I've got now for 6 quid and the other one I had for 4. They come in handy for anything after that aswell, like talking on MSN and only gaming...

Have we got any more guitarists in here? Could do with one more...

And I know it's a long shot, but a drummmer would be really cool. If we can't get one then moses would you be able to get your drummer to play for us?

I could do guitar or piano or drums if ya want?

Drums would be good. We just need to wait for moses to get his guitar part done, then we'll build on it from there.

I won't be able to play but I can help out in it. You'll probably need to wait for Moses's guitar work to do the drum beat... It'll sound crap if it's a whole bunch of random **** put together

That's what I said before... this is going to be professional, godamit!

Moses as soon as you get the guitar bit done send it me please, and I'll work on the songwriting bit and singing.

you'll have to give me some time. I've got a paper due monday and a project due tuesday. I'll probably have it by wed.

I`ll be the 'Bez'of the band and dance around like a tit with a pair of maracas.

Okay, wednesday it is then.

And Urban you can be Bez, because I'm probably going to sound like Shaun Ryder :(

Damn...I wanted to be Bez. :(

You could always be Stacia from Hawkwind & dance around with your tits out covered in body paint.

Although I was hoping Spike would have that role :D

i want the role of ambience!

Hobo let me know when you have the guitar riff and your vocal then I can put the drum beat together for it!

I was gonna do it in this order:

Guitar riff
Bass
Drum
Singing

Everyone ok with that?

I'm fine with it, but when Moses sends you guitar upload it to site, then get our bassist to try and make something to go good with it. Then upload the bass and I'll try and help with the drum beat (Whoever is doing it)

I'm doing the drum beat to go along with the rest. You can help me if you want? Blainka

I'll help out if you need it. You don't seem to, though. I don't have a mic, and I'm not sure how obtainable they are here.. I'll probably get one eventually anyway, so yeah...

Instruments wise I can play the Trumpet fairly Badly, but if we were recording it wouldn't need to be perfect every time! I could also do backing if you need it

Otherwise, I could help with promotion and all that Sh*t, if you need it. And failing that, there's always groupies!

<.<


Let someone else take my spot :'( I've got too much work for this week. I'd love to get in on the next project deal though. *curses his lit and world history teachers*

Right, there's a free space now as lead guitarist. Who wants it? And moses, you get first tabs next time ;)
