...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.

Loving all of the blue.

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.

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.

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 :-)

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 !

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

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.

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

100 days to go!!!! 

Anymore song suggestions?

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 :-)
