...Put me down for Hard to Handle and I Believe in a thing called love on Bass.

Great that means we have a full lineup for for 'Hard To Handle' and 'I Believe In A Thing Called Love'. You can borrow my bass, if you don't get your bass fixed in time.

Updated list below.

Neilybob · June 2023

Loving all of the blue.

Bennyboy-UK · June 2023

Morning all,

Hope everyone is enjoying the sun?

Please could we stick Just What I Needed by The Cars on the list? - I'd like to have a crack at that one.

I'd love to have a bash at guitar on Hard to Handle as well if thats OK?

If we end up having a few multiple run throughs of some of the others, maybe I can have a go at a couple of those as well? - theres plenty of time for that though

Cheers all,
Ben.

Jonathangus · June 2023

Stick me down for vox on Let's Dance and lead on Die Laughing again, and rhythm on Hell's Bells and For Whom the Bell Tolls.

stratman3142 · June 2023

Here's an update based on the posts by @Bennyboy-UK and @Jonathangus ;;;

The boxes in red just need that one role filling to allow us to play the song.

I'll take bass on Let's Dance :-)

roberty · June 2023

I can take vocals on those three reds too. I don't expect I will make the Motley Crue ones sound at all pleasant, though I suppose it would be a struggle to do a worse job than present day Vince Neil

Would it help if we tuned to D standard for the Motley Crue tracks, like the originals. How does @Vibetronic feel about detuning the D standard? It's no problem for me on bass.

Most of my guitars are in D, and both basses if that helps

Otherwise the Helix can detune AFAIK

First we need to check with @Vibetronic who's down for lead guitar on the Motley Crew tracks. IIRC his guitars are set up for his hyperspeed, face melting, playing, so I'm not sure how they'd take detuning to D standard.

I expect the strings would lie flat against the frets under reduced tension :-)

I can set one up for D if that's easier - although you have a great voice and I'm sure you can do a decent Vince Neil in standard

I'm easy really!

Not even Vince Neil can do a decent Vince Neil !

bobblehat · June 2023

Happy to do vocals or Rhythm guitar on Just what I needed.

stratman3142 · June 2023

I've updated the list based on recent posts.

I've merged some into one box, where there are multiple options for a role, to reduce the number of times I need to list certain songs. We'll cover the multiple options by doing multiple run throughs.

Let me know if anyone spots any errors or things I've missed.

Brocco · June 2023

As it turns out I can make this, so will have a think about what tracks to propose....

Neilybob · June 2023

100 days to go!!!!

Anymore song suggestions?

Brocco · June 2023

How about the recently released version of I've Got To Use My Imagination by Marc Broussard (with Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith)?

There is a good YT video but I've forgotten how to post one - help!

If you plonk the YouTube URL into a post the forum magic will do the rest :-)

Brocco · June 2023

Cheers Rob, here goes:

roberty · June 2023

@Brocco job's a good'un :-)

roberty · June 2023

Jobo is playing the dirty burst from ATB last year there

You can tell from the switch on the pickguard, it is quite distinctive

Added to playlist below. What role do you want @Brocco. Also are there any takers for the missing roles?

**Image removed. See more recent post for the latest update of the song list**

Brocco · June 2023

thanks @stratman3142 - rhythm please, and maybe a short improvised solo (hoping someone else will take the main solo)

roberty · June 2023

I'll trade solos with you @Brocco ;

stratman3142 · June 2023

I've put @Brocco and @roberty as jointly Lead and 2nd/Rhythm guitar. I expect a few might have a go at guitar on this one.

Any takers for the other roles?

Brocco · July 2023

Any appetite for Basket Case and Beat It?

I can do bass for beat it. Maybe vocals too. The only moonwalking I do however is after tramodol which I am not planning on

Is basket case Green Day?

Brocco · July 2023

Basket Case is indeed Green Day

Howdy, Stranger!
