I personally didn't think the vocals were shit, but that's how you described them.
It had to have been that version.

I think I did the wail Bowie did during the live versions and cracked my voice. I did a second one where my voice didn't crack.

I'm uploading a couple of my more recent U2 covers. Fuck PMing, I don't really care who downloads them.

At least you don't sing like me. I wish I could record it in good quality. It literally sounds like Morrissey on helium. It has his quality of ceasing to sound like words and starts to sound like someone being disturbed while asleep.phillyfan26

I haven't recorded anything in about two weeks, aside from an instrumental acoustic track which I still need to write lyrics for.

Nope, I didn't hear the second version. Were the just vocals changed, or was it a completely different performance?

It's me doing it in the same style, just a second time. I sent it to you, anyway.

I promise you, your ears will burn off.
I should re-record Bullet though. I think I have a bit more control over my singing voice nowadays and out of everything, I can sing that song the best. "Best" being a very relative thing here ...
Can't wait for the Phail band meeting, since I'm meant to sing and play guitar.
Phail is gonna be awesome. I think I'm playing bass and singing lead for Mystic Alpacas.
I don't think I've recorded myself singing for about three years. This is a good thing for humanity's continued existence.
Though the very earliest recordings of me singing when I was about 15 or 16 ... they make what Khan's got sound like masterpieces. I did this cover of Seconds that nobody ever deserves to suffer.

Nice.
WYWH cover was good, BTW. Your voice had a passion to it that really made the lyrics sound meaningful. Guitar was good too. Only a couple mistakes that I heard.

what happened to the interferers thing??? i suck at it, but i love to sing. i'll take any excuse.
Your Mystic Alpacas need to come and tour Australia with Phail. We'll play all the cool locations that rockin' bands go, like trams and my backyard ...

At least you can blend in chorus. Well one hopes at least.
It is funny the only songs I can actually sing okay are the falsetto's of The Fly, Lemon and Numb.
Also Psycho Killer by Talking Heads.

I'm literally just recording these on Sound Recorder, so they're all in one take, nothing over-dubbed or added together. Makes it frustrating, sometimes. Also, my mic sucks.
I played it to Prom Girl and she didn't believe it was my actual voice. She thinks I sounded a lot like David Gilmour, which surprised me.

For those interested, here are my U2 covers. I highly recommend the Hallelujah Here She Comes cover. YBR is pretty meh. The vocal is the only thing that's better than average. I wish I could go back in time and punch myself in the face for choosing the guitar tone I did for the solo at the end.
Hallelujah, Here She Comes

Oh god, I just discovered a whole swag of stuff on my external hard drive that I'd forgotten I'd recorded. The file of Seconds is named "Seconds (Make It Stop Mix)". There's stuff like God Part II, Miracle Drug, and The Fly here too.

Make It Stop Mix, love it.YES.
I can't wait to play Brest Railway Museum, personally. The airfare to Belarus might cost a lot, but it'd be worth it! We've got to take our music to the world.

Oh dear, here's the cover of Lady Stardust I recorded with only half a voice. This is brutal.

My singing voice is less than spectacular.
It doesn't help that most of my friends refer to it as "Ashley's Man Voice."

Some of the others:
- All Because Of You (All Because It's Bad Mix)
- Miracle Drug (Thoroughly Butchered Mix)
- Numb (No More Dignity Mix)
- The Fly (Squashed Fly Mix)
Why do I still have this stuff!

I actually wish I had a strong female voice. There are things that only a strong female voice can express.
