Yeti On a related note, any chance that one of you can learn the lead part for Crazy Little Thing Called Love?

I'll give it a shot. Is someone doing the solo for Hells Bells? I have the rhythm part down, but not the solo yet.

klaasvakie yeh can do hells bells

Hey guys, just a heads up. It looks like we have lost our drummer for Saturday and I have lost my voice. :/
I'm hoping that I get it back before then but I'll be there either way... just may need a little more help with the singing.

I have confirmed the garage with Greg thought... so not all bad news.

Yeti Well I'll check the other songs and see what I can handle vocally, even if I have to sing in a lower key

@Yeti you've been a life saver in organising this all. Thank you!

Hope your voice heals quickly!

Lu22 I suspect that most of them (especially the more metal songs) will work a straight octave down since the originals are really high.

@NorioDS no worries, happy to help.

Yeti Okay sweet I'll check them all out

Yeti Eish about your voice and about the drummer. Do you think it's worth looking for drum backing tracks? I can bring my practice amp which can also act as a bluetooth speaker, but last time it wasn't quite loud enough.

klaasvakie I'm going to be checking out drum tracks on my iPad this evening. Reckon we should be able to plug straight into the PA, just need an aux cable (should have one somewhere).

Yeti Yes, the PA should have enough grunt. Looking forward to it, I've had a great time so far learning the songs.

Yeti

I'm keen on popping in just to say high, if that's fine.

If he does come then he'll probably bring his entire kit.

I'll revert when I have an answer

RCVN awesome, thanks

RCVN Cool, thanks for trying. Please send on the details for our next session to him too.

Are you still going to pop your head in? Would be cool to meet you.

Yeti I'll try. I'm going to be running to the store to test some amps and the I might pop through.

Yeti Just a heads-up that I removed the address from this thread. To easy for us to get ambushed. (Has happened to photographers my wife knows. Time + place + expensive gear = opportunity.)

I haven't had a chance to practice even one song. Will hopefully be able to fake it through the songs on bass but if anyone else knows these songs... that'll end up sounding better ?

I can probably still get thru most of Crazy Lil Thing, though. I'll check that in the morning.

NorioDS O.O fair enough

I'm also less prepared than I'd prefer to be. My voice has improved but is still not where I'd like it to be. I think I'll try a couple of songs at least but probably won't sing in full voice.

I've spent some time with the garage band drummers and I think that I have usable settings for each song. It's not the same as the real thing but better than nothing.
