Motörhead tribute album

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

Hi Steve,

Great version anyone who can try to sing that is a better man than me lol,

Great "live" performance what were your tunings on that i think the songs in E FLAT originally

Phil "THE BEAST" campbell normally tunes to match lemmys bass (well LOW)

He has said that he sometimes tunes his low E to C sharp

Well done

Any more?

Im mucking around with OVER THE TOP and WE ARE MOTORHEAD

lets see what happens

I kept it to my usual tuning of G+D+G+b+ ...a higher key than the original but hey, we can make the songs our own! (-;

good luck!

Yep your quite right,
I've just tuned my 3string to E it growled back at me but I think I will need higher gauge strings on it ,
God this is fun and bloody loud
All the best

Hi Steve,
Great that's in the bag thanks again,
Looking good with the different songs,
I think I've got the tuning sorted now so hopefully I will get a couple of others done,
Cheers for everything,
