I have a really cool, wild idea for the interference.com community!

A Tribute To U2 By The Memebers Of Interference.com

We've got all types of talented people here who share a similar passion: U2. Now some of us have had the chance to meet the boys firsthand, others have not, but we've all at some point or another made our point here on this site. What if we, as a community, had the chance to say Thank You directly to U2 and show the band how much they mean to us? Sound crazy? Here's what I'm thinking....

1. A tribute cd of musicians from this site doing their best cover of a u2 song. Any submissions taken, as many as we can get.

2. With the cd, a booklet of origional art and writings by any other interferenece.com com members who would like to submit stuff.

We take the cd, and the booklet, package it up with a cover letter to Principle Management explaining what it is, and then send it off.

I admit, this would take a lot of work, but I really think it would be a cool thing. U2 is what has brought people from all over the world to this site. For better or worse, this is a community, and we do all share a similar interest. Friendships have begun because of this site. I think it would be a nice gesture.

If anyone is interested in helping out with this endeavor, feel free to post your comments here or email me. I am a busy person, but I'd be willing to compile the music, master them if necessary, and put the cd together. We'd probably need a couple editors for the book, along with some graphic design people to help get it lookin' good. This doesn't have to be really fancy or cost a lot.

Lemme know what you guys think.

Would the tracks be recorded individually or would we collaborate on them? For a song like "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," for instance, separate people can submit lead vocals, background vocals, lead guitar (electric), rhythm guitar (acoustic), bass, drums, and...um, there's a guy here obsessed with cow bell, isn't there? Then someone can mix and master them. That'd be pretty cool, especially for those of us who don't have bands or for those of us that can play a mean acoustic but would have a hard time doing a song solo.

popkidu2 · 05-04-2003, 10:16 PM

theoretically you could do that. Even if you have a simple four track tape machine, you could still do vocals, guitar, bass, and a drum track (programmed). But, if you wanted to do a collaboration with others, you could. Might be kindof difficult, but definately possible!

Great great idea......

adamswildhoney · 05-04-2003, 11:04 PM

that sounds like a great idea!!

bayernfc · 05-04-2003, 11:35 PM

excellent idea........

hippy · 05-05-2003, 12:28 AM

Cool idea!

I'll help in any way possible

I don't really play... but I write and I'll volunteer to edit and such

Would this compilation also be available to Interferencers?

Cool.

As far as the booklet goes, I have no idea how we would distribute that to members since the cost of duplication might be expensive. You could do a distribution tree or something. Maybe the contributions could be posted somewhere on the site? We'll see as it goes I guess. This all just an idea right now (read...ideas anyone?)

As far as the cd goes, I figure we could post the mp3 files where they could be downloaded, and do a distribution tree as well if people need that.

IWasBored · 05-05-2003, 06:44 AM

interesting idea. i like it so far.

kobayashi · 05-05-2003, 09:26 AM

good idea
for the booklet...i would suggest saving it as a .pdf file and disseminating it.

HelloAngel · 05-05-2003, 10:33 AM

popkidU2,

We could use your drive and imagination writing for Interference.com.... Think about it.

FizzingWhizzbees · 05-05-2003, 11:05 AM

Nice idea!

this thread should be copied into every damn forum and get stuck on top until it's done

fan-tastic

That is a very good idea.

Awesome idea.

Screaming Flower · 05-05-2003, 05:33 PM

kick ass idea.

arw · 05-06-2003, 03:16 AM

I LOVE this idea!

I write all the time and I have a lot of stuff I have written about U2 and what their music means to me. I would absolutely love to take part in something like this.

Even if a CD doesn't work, something like a compilation book of artwork, writtings by the interference community, pictures of interference related events or just small get together's of people who are now really close friends because of this site. There's plenty of things we could do.

Wonderful idea

hiphop · 05-06-2003, 09:45 AM

I like that idea too.

I just think you should probably call Principle first to ask them for the rights to record some U2 songs.

Lilly · 05-06-2003, 03:32 PM

good call hiphop.

i'm all over writing for the booklet - or even drawing for it!

Scarletwine · 05-06-2003, 04:13 PM

This is a great idea.
The Elevation book is pretty recent. They may have some ideas.
