SBM Guitar cover contest

[fergal41]

***RE: The What Do You Play? Thread***

Just making this thread to see how many people would be interested in having a Screaming Bloody Murder guitar cover contest on Youtube. If it does go ahead, I would say we'd have the least bother using the track SBM, cos UMG wouldn't pull them down.

I've never organized anything like this before, is there anything I'd have to take into consideration if it gets a positive response and does go ahead?

Leave your name in here or in my inbox if you want in

Any suggestions would be most welcome, too

*EDIT*
Ok, so these are the people who have expressed an interest so far. Post back here to confirm and I'll set up some official rules and get it going.

Two more people and we'd have ten if everyone confirms - come on people!

[gejmik]

I'd go with Skumfuk, since I don't know how to play any other

[lisaNL]

This contest would be pretty cool, I wouldn't enter though zero chance I would win xD Anyway, will we be the judges or something?

[no_reason88]

I would enter the contest, I did a cover of scumfuck not long ago and I'm really intested in doing some of the new songs would be cool!

Haha, I think SBM would be better suited, because most people would be able to rattle off Skumfuk with no mistakes. SBM is more varied and a small bit more difficult technically

You should enter anyway!

And I don't know what to do about judges :/ Maybe some admins? Maybe we could get Tom to look at some of them?

Anybody have any ideas for how to judge it!?

Will I put your name down then dude?

yeah, too bad I couldn't take a part then, that riff is just too difficult to me, I play for just 3 months. Holy Images of Lies sounds pretty easy though.

Just pick some trustable people who know lots about guitars and who know the best how to play the songs.

You should also do a piano contest for Crash

[gejmik]

umm yeah, that wasn't me writing it.

[silverdolphin]

Cool idea, I might join. When will it start?

[lisaNL]

You could also let everyone decide for themselves what song they'll cover, as long it's a song that on SBM

[samueeL]

I could enter!

Indeed, it seems like a fairer way to do things and Gejmik could enter that way

It would have to be formatted a certain way, so I'll give it some thought tonight. People, leave your suggestions here in the mean time!

Record your covers whenever you like, I'll give a weeks notice once we get enough names

[JestersPanic]

I might try at this.

Lazy gets the best of me though.

[whibz]

Sure I'll enter. I'll enter one of my covers. Would it be okay if it's blocked from everywhere but canada? or will I have to submit a different one

[gejmik]

...and Gejmik could enter that way ...

you can also say "every n00b could enter that way", I'm okay with that so far cause it's true

[Jeremy Kill]

I was learning the title track a few weeks ago now, still working on the solo. I'm a shit technical player though, we'll see how it pans out.

Haha, sorry dude - didn't mean to look like a douche! You're probably better than me at guitar anyway!

[fergal41]

*Light bulb*

Oh yeah, we won't have a judging panel - I'll just set up a poll

*Literally took me eight hours to think of that*

[gejmik]

I'm sure I'm not, really. I learned a start of Sweet Child O' Mine, Motivation, Fat Lip and Skumfuk, a lill' part of SBM (chorus and intro) and a few riffs. But except that, I can't play anything. It's been 3 months I hope I'll get better in.. Let's say - a year.

And no, it's totally cool I didn't take it in a bad way .
