My cover of Adore, but Freebirded up.

Adore. Sure. Let's do that song tonight.

But hey, instead of doing the song, let's go ahead and add that killer solo from "Freebird" at the end of it.

Yeah. yeah.

And, and, let's go messing with the tempo of the song, and, and, let's put the chord changes from "Let's Go Crazy" over the chorus. Sure. That would work, right?

Right?

And lastly, let's just MURDER the vocals, because that would be the last thing on the song that makes it beautiful. I'm planning to re-do the vocals because, well, these suck.

Oh god those vocals really hurt.

So, just remember, the vocals are just placeholders. I'm going back in to re do those abusively horrible things. OW.

Well, it was definitely a case of "hmm. well. I've started this mess. Let's finish it as best as we can to find out what I can pull off."

And guess what? I learned I can pull off the Freebird solo. Well. Sort of. If you squint, and tilt your head to the side.

Thanks you guys - you're all heart. I'm planning to redo the vocals tonight if I'm still feeling the flow of the song. It's amazing how I coulda SWORN I knew this song all the way thru, only to find out now that I've flubbed passages left and right.

I'll never look at this song the same again. Don't get me wrong...it sounds good even the vocals. But I use this song quite frequently to get busy in the bedroom with. Now I'll envision a biker dude on his Harley riding down the highway in a dust storm on his way to the bar to pick up his ol' lady.

I heard these lyrics (um, in my head) over a Foo Fighters song - Monkey Wrench i think. If you listen to the music, you'll hear a lot of Monkey Wrench in there.

Hey hey TAL! I got my TIX to the ATL show! Are you going?

Thanks! It did take a lot of courage to throw back 4 Budweisers and roll tape. Okay, no it didn't. It took courage to wake up the next day and hit PLAY! THAT was the scary part.

Well i'd like to make a comment or two... if thassallrite...

The vocals yeah, bit shaky and i'd like to hear the re-done version.....

Concept... Unlikely to be pulled off well at that tempo...

Guitar... Dirty....

What is going on in your head Otan.... No don't tell me i DON'T wanna know..

THIS ATTEMPT IS UNBELEIVABLE.....

Unbeleivably... It works..

It works well... hell... when i read what you had done i thought "NAH"

When I heard it I thought... HELL YEAH!!!

Superb pace, nice dirty geetar and well done on the solo at the end....! You've done it again mister..!!! Go to the top of yo class.!!!

Dayammm. cool

I'll hand out props to you... I had no f-n clue how you were going to get Adore out of that intro.

Still... you could heat up dem dere vocals a little in the 4-5kHz because they're a little muddy. Ummm... or was that intentional?

Well - the problem with my vocals right now is a 1-yr-old boy.

His bedroom is right above my expansive "Sin City Studios". He drifts off to la-la-land at 7:30, and I get to recording at 8. I have learned to sing at very very very low volumes, even when I'd prefer to be belting it out. So, then, once i've reviewed a song a dozed million times, I can go back on a Saturday afternoon and do a serious take.

It's a very difficult process to write heavy music and have to croon over it.

God...hahaha I wish P could here this! I know you were just rocking out, but with a lil tweaking this would make a cool single! People would buy it just because you gave it a complete makeover.
