Great full sound on yours fnpt, kind of sounds like the Killers covering Joy Division until your super cool laid back vocals come in (which this song suits perfectly). Must be a hard song to keep interesting as it's quite minimal on the variations on the main theme but you smashed it, really liked that. This is weird but i'd never noticed the jump from the opening introduction drone which i suspect is A up to the main chord sequence, for some reason i'd always had it in my head it was just one tone/step up which is clearly wrong (and results in a very low sounding end to the riff phrase when i've just played it like that haha). Sounds great anyway, lovely work

It's a bit ambitious vocally though, more so than Like A Stone, so i'm hoping the tonsillitis I'm currently loaded up with does one soon so I can get my voice in better shape...

It's totally appropriate to do anything as it serves your aims. That could be just getting a cover entered for the first time @TTony . It could be trying to replicate studio recordings accurately. Or it could be destroying Taylor Swift songs by turning then into 80s hair metal.

I've listened to some of the submissions in past challenges and generally been very impressed with the level of playing and mixing skills and the inventiveness of some (many) of the tracks.
Impressed to the point that I've been dissuaded from even trying as I realise that I'm on a very different part of the learning curve compared to some (many) of you and mine are definitely amateur-hour.
But it's not a competition, it's an opportunity to do something within some constraints that mean I might actually get around to doing it, and to learn from the process and feedback. So I'll be submitting something by the weekend and will try to take part regularly in future.
The amount of times I've conceived an idea, recorded the backing only to start the vocals with the sudden realisation of "why did I pick this sing and record it in this key....?"
Good luck

Not a track that I'd heard before (or not remembered having heard it) and a band that had completely passed me by as I wasn't listening to or buying a lot of music in the QOTSA era, so challenged me to listen to and learn something completely new.
Decided to play it all rather than using loops etc, so the drumming is very basic, but I've got a better input device on the Christmas list, so hopefully next time will be a little more realistic. And I know there's a mistake in the bridge section, but the guitar track was a one-shot take and I'd have made more errors elsewhere if I'd tried to re-record that!
And I'm guaranteed 5 points!!
Thought I should stick my nose in and say welcome to the club @TTony tracks is sounding good. Hopefully you'll stick around!
The verses part was actually really difficult. Finding a space to breathe was the main problem. Not doing it with a faux county voice was also tricky.
The soloing nearly made me abandon the project. It was only when I watched an episode of ‘That Pedal Show’ featuring Andy Wood, who I’d never heard of, but he was phenomenal on the show and blowing away Dan and Mick. At some point in the show he said plays LIAH on tour and I concluded I was never going to compete, and thus make it simpler.
