Hi all,
Due to the response to my video Ace of spades and after a suggestion from Steve we are asking if anyone would be interested in making an album called A TRIBUTE TO MOTÖRHEAD with the intention of using just CBGs ,
The album is open to everyone and to cover their vast array of songs,
Even if you don't know Motörhead go on and have a go I garrantee you will get goosebumps playing,
DON'T YOU THINK YOUR SPEAKERS IN YOUR AMP NEED A WORKOUT
The object is for us to all have fun,
The songs can be either acoustic or full rock n roll blues mayhem,
Let me know who's interested and what song you want to play,
Then you can upload them into OUR album for everyone to enjoy,
Good luck and happy rockin,
Oh and Paul smith you've got the job for harmonica on Ace of spades acoustic lol,
Cheers everyone,
Regards
Ian

you can count me in cause im soo bad, baby i dont care

just finished the backing track for my entry. man, this has been a ton of fun. now for the tricky bit - vocals!

have we got a deadline?

Hi there,
Don't forget your jack Daniels ,
There isn't a deadline currently for the people who are doing this,
There will be a cut off at some point but I'm hoping to give everyone a fair chance once we get to that stage I will let you know,
Good luck can't wait to hear this one

Yep, it's done:

 

SUGIMUGI - "Nightmare / The Dreamtime"

 

 One and only take with my new 4-string CBG (GCGC) which I'm going to sell at the local tobacco store. The voices were overdubbed. It's not as rough as you might expect a Motorhead-song, but, nevertheless, I hope you'll like it in this delta blues style. Cheers!!!

Sorry, had to do it again. The voice was too loud. Now it's better...

Hi thoresten,
That is an awesome track well thought out ,
It's going on my iPod now ,
You've just raised the bar with that one (lemmy mark two)

here is my version of IM SO BAD BABY I DONT CARE. i used my 3 string cbg thru my peavy rage 108 mic'ed with a shure pg 48. i recorded that at the same time with my suitcase kick drum mic'ed up with a really good old radio shack mic. sang vocals thru the same peavy, and bass is a two string frettless plank stuck up under one of the straps of the aforementioned suitcase and recorded acoustic with my recorder's onboard condenser mic.
