Musicians wanted!

<< < (5/7) > >>

Vakur:
an Kris: I'm glad to hear that :D

About the songs - I'm fine with the songs Kris already posted (The Riddle and I was made for loving you - good choice!). I just missing some typical 80's keyboardbased songs.
So I'm also for Aha - Take on me :-) (But Puple Rain is also a good song)

Two ideas from myself:
1. Eye of the tiger? Just to have one song with furry content^^
2. We'vo got three vocals and one bass until know - maybe we could try For The Longest time from Billy Joel? :)

Jumpy:
Funny you should mention the longest time.

I happen to have sheet music for that one plus practice mp3s. We'll have to try how good it sounds.

Other suggestions:
- ELO Hold on Tight to your Dreams
- GnR Sweet Child o'Mine
- I'm gonna hate myself for having to practice it on the bass, but: MJ Billie Jean

Should we try to schedule a practice weekend? We could do it at my place in Berlin. Our Garage has lots of space, our neighbors aren't too finicky about noise and we have lots of space, not to mention a bunch of instruments sitting around. If response is generally positive, I'll post a doodle with the available weekends.

Vakur:
Sorry for the late answer, I'm moving at the moment to a new flat.

ELO, Guns 'n Roses, Michael Jackson... also very good ideas :-)
Maybe we give a limit, how many songs we would like to play? Then we could choose some titels, after everyone posted his favorites.

About the practice weekend, I find this is a good idea. For me Berlin is fine and I' ve got after June a lot of free weekends :-)
Otherwise we really had to practice at the Eurofurence befor we enter the Open Stage.

Kris Husky:
A practice weekend would be good.
Berlin is about 450 km from me. (living near Paderborn)
Maybe three or four days should work.

Jumpy:
I've PM'ed you a link to a doodle. Please fill in your dates as soon as possible.

Practice weekends would start on Friday evening and run into Sunday afternoon.

With the virtual drum kit, let me propose that we should not be using actual guitar/bass amps for either the rehearsal or the concert (too loud), instead we can all go through a regular PA setup (available). 3-4 VAmps, both software (Guitar Rig) and standalone (Line 6, Bass-V) are available here.

If the Savannah Revolution rehearsals are any indication, we'll be playing well into the early (and not so early) morning, so the neighbors will thank us, and we do want to hear each other.

I have a 4-channel headphone amp, in case we want to do in-ear monitoring like we did a few years ago.
