  1. Yeah, there is a thread for that. I tried to kick some new life into it, but nothing really happened.

    Oh, and about the singing, I think it'll have to be a duet of some sort. You don't get rid of me that easily

    Have to find that thread and read up on it. I'll be backing vocals then, if you can sing in front as you can do deeper notes than me.

    Maybe the U2start song could be that everyone who wants to sing has one verse of his/her own, and then everyone sings in the chorus.

    How cool that would be.
  2. It would be, very, very cool!
  4. Thanks! Yeah it would be wicked....I usually just use click tracks now and vocalise to those. Usually demos have clapping, tapping and breathing so I know when to go, so that's about all I'm using at this point and where the harmonica has to go, I will hum along and work it that way.

    Still need a vocal setup where the rest of the room doesn't get mixed in and it doesn't sound airy as well as room bleed.
  5. I'm actually getting a little excited for what has a good chance to be my first real concert ever... Ringo Starr.

  6. You never went to the U2 show in Sweden? Ringo Starr, still he'd be fantastic.


  7. I had the excellent timing of turning into a U2 fan a few months after those two shows in 2009 And because of that it looks like I'll never see the 360 tour

    Ringo Starr is someone I feel I just have to attend, he's a living legend after all.
  8. Perfect timing! Man what a bummer. But at least you got all the shows here.

    You gotta, while they're still around, see all the legends and the real rockers. Do many bands stop by Sweden for shows?
  9. Some do, Iron Maiden and Metallica will this year. Last year we had Green Day and Pink. The year before U2 and Madonna, and 2008 saw Bruce Springsteen, 2007 Rolling Stones. And I've probably forgotten some, I don't remember everything
  10. Iron Maiden and Metallica came to Australia last year. Fortunately I skipped both and went to the Guns N Roses show with Korn and Shihad as support acts. Shihad were pretty good but fuck knows what the appeal to people with Korn is apart from headbanging and breaking your neck. Then I went to another show a few weeks back, a little pub show and that was good fun - 150 people singing along, dancing etc to an old 1980s revival rock and roll show.

    Where I am - Adelaide - it's a shame more live music doesn't come here. It's all poker machines and gambling taking up everything and essentially killed off the live music scene. Now to see live music and really experience it you gotta head up to a pub the other side of town on a Friday night. Although seeing bands you've never heard of can sometimes be pretty cool, I remember a little acoustic show I saw once. It was excellent, two Irish guys, voice and a guitar. That's it. So simple but beautifully done for maybe 250 people.

    I wouldn't mind going to a Madonna show, and of course U2. Bruce and the Stones I'd see if they came over here but the Stones haven't been here since the Bridges tour in 1997 or 1998 and god knows when the last time Bruce came here was.....dot dot dot. No idea. I'm thinking next year though.

    Ah but Suzi Quatro and Meat Loaf are both coming this year. That I can't wait for.
  11. I just started singing this:



    Beautiful
  12. He's got a real Nat King Cole - Johnny Cash vibe goin' on there. That's beautiful, just perfectly sung.
