We discussed this last night on the Zoom chat. Would anybody be up to a cover version challenge ? Just canvassing opinion to start with and get some ideas

I do hope that this challenge is accepted. It will be great to devote our creativity to this one. There are millions of wonderful songs that we can all learn from and perhaps enhance with a brand new interpretation.

Man I love a cover...count me in...😍😎
Couldn’t help plug these two...apologies 😆

I posted this on a mental as anything forum and Greedy’s fiancé contacted me and said she wished he was still alive to hear my version - that’s my greatest musical achievement to date 🤣 and then Rangers have adopted it as an official anthem so I’ve been flooded by listens on soundcloud by there fans...which isn’t ideal for a Celtic season ticket holder 🤣

Grim news tonight with another lockdown...hope everyone is safe...I’m getting hammered tonight but it’s hard not to be scared again...stay safe everyone ❤️
It’s great to be part of this forum again 🤩

Oh man! I totally spaced out the forum chat! I am so bummed!
I'd love to get in on a cover challenge, and I would prefer to collaborate with someone. I probably couldn't do it otherwise, but who knows. It would be interesting to try.

You're never too old to try something new.
And I take my own advice: check out my albums:

I'd tentatively put my hat in the ring as a collab... would love to do a mostly slowed-down version of Ultravox's "We Stand Alone".

Great. Looks like this one is a goer. I just thought of a song that I've been wanting to cover for years and had a bash this evening. I've gone from tier 2 yesterday to tier 4 tomorrow which means by my reckoning, I'll be in tier 9 on Christmas day. I wonder what that will involve ? Maybe solitary confinement and bread and water if I'm lucky ?

Excellent, John...I’ve been having a doodle through some possible contenders too...really looking forward to doing this...assuming we can get enough interest for it to take off.
Anybody else fancy it?

Great stuff, folks!
Can we get a few more interested? This seems like a brilliant idea to me.
I just figured which song I'm going to do...
I've spent a couple of hours putting together a drum track for it. It was a massive hit...and hopefully might come as a surprise. Assuming you recognise what it is/was

Ah ! I'm guessing it's an ABBA song then

Did someone mention Agneta? 😀
Yeah, come on let's get on board with this one.

Not without a fight
I'm just about to commit the schoolboy error of recording an acoustic rhythm guitar track for it with 80% of a bottle of plonk down my neck. I seem to have almost doubled the tempo of the original too...just to be on the safe side.
EDIT: Got a bit carried away and did the whole thing. Just a vocal to put on there now. It must be great to have an instrumental track ready for the vocal...and to look at the microphone as a chef would do to one of those squirty things when about to put the icing on the cake...rather than regarding it as a noose that you are obliged to hang yourself with every time you want to record a song...
