LAST RIDE IN SWEEP 🧹
I'm on team Uptight or Platypus

GOOD RIDDANCE
I vote either redundant or good riddance
I’ve always wondered how we’d do good riddance if it won. Obviously have people send guitar and vocals but the strings would be a whole thing. Probably would ask people to submit string instruments if anyone could and then if they didn’t come in it would be midi by the mixer. Fun to think about
I imagine the number of people that play string instruments and can properly record them is a lot smaller than people that play the guitar and bass and stuff
THE GROUCH
We've done that one
if you ever do jackass or smth will there be a saxophone
that would be nice
cus i plau sax
There would indeed, at least I'd ask for people to submit sax parts. Same case as what I said above about strings. Do you have the means to record sax at a high enough quality? No guarantee we do that song any time soon since it's up to the will of the people but something to keep in mind
Now that i think about it the quality would be a problem although I’m sure I could find a way with the help of my other saxophone players that I know irl
If we get last ride in i can try recording my xylophone 😄😄😄 but i dont have a vibraphone unfortunately
I have some ideas for the additional instruments for these songs
Vote will be open for a couple more hours. I will close it around 1 eastern
Quit your job so you can focus on cover project
Real
Right? Like wtf is he doing? Lol
Alright here we are finally
Time to see if we've learned anything about playing songs that are swung, we're doing Hitchin' a Ride
As usually please wait until there is a reddit post with instructions and a backing track before you record ANYTHING
Last ride in was robbed 😞
Last ride in was second to last
Redundant barely lost this one, it was two points behind
Redundant was also tied for the most first place votes with...
Guess
Last ride in
Platypus
😭
I wanted Platypus so bad. Next time
They dont see my vision
@hollow mauve
hi
i play viola
but in theory i could
i also sprained my wrist so it will be a bit before i can record
You have two weeks
Ish
We should definitely get the cover project orchestra going 🤣
Can I add a trombone part?
I would love love love to get a strings player on this one. Not sure if horns makes a lot of sense but I could be convinced, send me ideas if you have any
Flat out replacing the violin with trombone would be crazy. Imagine the lead-in to the solo being a trombone going wubwubwubWUBWUBWUB
Sliding up with vibrato
I kinda wanna hear it
I'll have to get my bone from the hot ass attic and see what I can do. Not too much to where its convoluted but complimenting the rest of the composition
I was actually thinking the same thing
Haven't played trombone in 5 years, so this will be interesting
Billie Joe always dragging the song out to like 10 minutes live with the 1 2 1 2 3 4 stuff makes me think I’m tired of the song, then I go back and listen to it, I forget how much it rocks
Then he drags it out more by just letting the riff keep going while running around on stage yelling "HEEEEEEYOOOOOO!!!"
"My tongue is swellin' up, I said
"Shit!"" violin starts playing 'The Devil Went Down To Georgia'
Hitchin a ride extended edition
When’s the wildest dreams cover dropping
2046
NOOOOOO
its fucking joever
i should've sent in the mules
The mules
No ballot box stuffing, sir
boring
You’re boring
If we can get some other instruments on this one it’s a win
I should be able to put the submission post up tonight FYI
@tender canopy I can do the intro
Fuck yeah
I got a backing track ready to go but it’s midnight so I’m gonna put that up at like noon tomorrow
Hitchin a ride
Yes
Got my trombone out of the attic
Hitchin a ride has trombone in it?
