It is with great pleasure that I reveal to you all these great musical gifts. I love how you all took the theme and just ran with it. No one gets a lump of coal this Christmas. Also, big shout out to our main man Norio for sponsoring this challenge. He has always been backing this forum, specifically the competitions, and for that we are all super grateful. But enough soppy stuff, onto the entries. [b]BEGINNER[/b] [b]Hasie - At least better than Buble[/b] http://guitarforum.co.za/gfsacomps/mp3s/hasie.mp3 [i]I decided not to embrace the Jingle Bells and just attempts some rock/blues.[/i] [b]INTERMEDIATE[/b] [b]G-Man - For whom the bells jingle[/b] http://guitarforum.co.za/gfsacomps/mp3s/gman.mp3 [i]It's basically a Jingle Bells cover but more metal. :D [/i] [b]Wern101 - A synical christmas[/b] http://guitarforum.co.za/gfsacomps/mp3s/wern101.mp3 [i]I wanted to create a synical, silly, sarcastic song about Christmas, so I took the song ‘Deck the Halls’ and did a cover version with new lyrics.. I did everything with my trusty Stag acoustic and mixpad multitrack recording software. I am quite new at recording so this is very raw and unedited. Basically added some chorus / echo to the voice and rhythm guitar – that’s it, nothing else. I did the whole thing in less than an hour… [/i] [b]ADVANCED[/b] [b]Stoffeltoo - Another Never Christmas[/b] http://guitarforum.co.za/gfsacomps/mp3s/stoffeltoo.mp3 [i]A bit of a social commentary song on current affairs Standard drum track No Pan Vocals and rhythm myself, panned 15% right I used a vocaliser for the harmony Centre Bass compliments of G1Xon played by me Pan 15% left Lead D2 heavy played by myself[/i] [b]V8 - Jingle Hells[/b] *Please click on link - I think V8 broke the player with his track :D http://guitarforum.co.za/gfsacomps/mp3s/v8.mp3 [i]Errrrr...ummm....It's a parody! Struggled to get a decent vocal (nothing new...I'm a crappy singer :)), so here's the lyrics. Crashing through the shops, Buying me more socks, Why don't you just go Shop on takealot Buying me all these things, when all I want is strings And some more cold beer to help with festive cheer Jingle Hells Santa Smells All the elves are freaks And all I really wanna do Is get me back to sleep. [/i] [b]Adrian Rogowski - Boney Ho No No[/b] http://guitarforum.co.za/gfsacomps/mp3s/adrian.mp3 [i]I think this is type of seasonal christmas cultural collab/medley. In other words, how Christmas music might be heard in different musical cultures or so. That, and I just had fun messing around. The idea came from me wanting to do a different interpretation of a standard christmas tune (one that isn't copyrighted anymore that is, so Norio won't get in trouble). But I took the idea further and came up with 5 or so different interpretations on this classic carol How I recorded? Well my gear is still packed up from moving, so I just had my trusty M-Audio interfact, plugged my Fender straight into it, and software did the rest. I use Ableton, stock plugins, Guitar Rig for those raunchy guitars, and Battery 3 for drum samples.

Thanks Stud! Pity I got no votes, prolly the poor vocals :-\ but here they are:
Another Never Christmas
Intro
Verse 1
C Am
Bells toll brightly and their tone is dark
Dm G
The king, a jester whose mind’s a fester
F G C
Turns the rainbow dream to a muddy stream
C Am
He does not know that first comes last
Dm G
Instead of Amandla its N’Kandla N’kandla
F G C
The court’s astir, they sense a bitter disaster

Chorus
Em Am
Another never christmas, never never christmas
F G
When wisdom wins the jester cheats
F G C
With the promise of a fester never never christmas

Verse 2
C Am
Cry beloved country is sold on gumtree
Dm G
Almost for free for an extorsion fee
F G C
The king he smiles as the court plot and dive
C Am
But laugh and cheer our king of tears
Dm G
Soon it will be us who sing
F G C
The king is dead! Hail the jester king is dead!

Chorus

Bridge
C Am
And when you go in tears of woe
Dm G
When the angel come and take your soul
F G C
Hope you meet your forever never christmas ghoul!

Chorus X2
