The challenge for this week is... The Greatest Rock Intro
You and your band's intro at the start of your Live at Wembley show...you've just gone onto the dark stage, the crowd is restless and the rest of the band is waiting for your signal. You take a deep breath and nod at the drummer. The crowd roars as the first notes are played. One minute of awesome spectacle as the stage comes to life under blinding flashes of lasers and smoke. You can almost lean back and rest against the wall of sound coming from your amps behind you.
Entries in by noon next Friday. PM your entries to me and let me know which category you want to be in
    Epic! I love this!

    Straight away, Bullet For My Valentine springs to mind...

    It's going to be tough, but I'm super excited.
      For some reason after reading this all I have in my head are various Queen songs :-\
        This is an awesome idea, hopefully I will find something creative in that thing I call my head.

          It's probably the "Live at Wembley" thing ?

          NICE topic Riaan!
            Maybe there is now a use for the Brian May Vox amp on Gumtree..........just find another 15 of them and you're away......(Just Kidding)..... ? ?

              How could anyone beat Muse's entrance there (the HAARP DVD)?
                Someone in the Office was playing their tribute to MJ

                'Dirty Dianna" sounds like that intro.

                Good stuff Riaan, most probably harder than it sounds. You are just a bit more subtle than Alan, butter us up with the Wembly feeling. Alan just hits us straight. ?

                Well done with the Shampoo comp as well ?
                  oh i can see some interesting entrys coming from this one .
                    Respect-Riaan!

                    Good topic- psyched to give it a go!
                      At first thought this is an easy one, but the more I think about it, the more I'm discovering it's as evil as my ad topic was - just more insidious about it.

                      There are so many ways to tackle it that I'm really going to have to spend time deciding on exactly which direction to go... which I can do the most justice to.

                        Hehehe.... :woohoo:...thanks guys I think this one's gonna be fun too! Looking forward to hearing everyone's entries.
                          Indeed a nice topic...
                            6 days later
                            I really struggled to fit this topic into 1 minute... I'm a sucker for a long intro ?
                              Wish I was you. I have 30seconds, but no more.
                                Mine in after much frustration with Cubase.

                                I also created some awesome crowd noises using MIDI on N-track, but when it came to Mixdown all MIDI tracks disappeared ☹



                                  Sadly I didn't have the time this week to record something...can't enter for my own theme! I strummed my acoustic for five minutes this entire crappy and horrible week, and that was the extent of my music making... ☹

                                  Anyway, looking forward to hear what you guys did!
                                    I sadly couldn't enter this week either , between , loading a new webserver , recovering a blown server and acquiring new toys , i just didn't have the time ......... oh well next one .
                                      BTW happy Birthday Riaann- Birthdays on a Friday are always the best! Have a great evening ?
