The friendliest place on the web for anyone that follows U2.
If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Cool! Thank you!

One question...are we going for original sounding covers or basically trying to copy what's already been done?

i feel dumb asking this :der: but what exactly do you mean by our own backing track...do you mean are we gonna play our own instruments? if you do then, i am, just me and my crap guitar....wouldve liked to do it with my band but they aint u2 fans soooo yeahh.....

and question to scaramanga...do we ALL gotta give you the backing track by monday or just the contestents of the first matchup?
 
Backing tracks are either you playing your guitar, bass, drums or voice and recording it. Or either you can take one of the bands songs and just take away a part from it. As in you can take away the guitar, bass, drums or volcals and you can play your own bass, guitar, drums or you can sing..
 
aww man, if I had seen this sooner I would have entered :( my band totally does Vertigo...that's the only song we do :lol: and we've been together for almost a year now :lol: we're not very dedicated :wink:

but yeah if we do this again I'll totally enter. I'm looking forward to hearing what people submit, what a cool idea! :up:

well the sooner the better, if you need more time you can send it to me at most the day before your battle in order to upload it and have it ready

check the bracket, if you think you can have the song ready before the last battle you can enter.
Anyone who wants to enter, just ask. The bracket is not full so there's room for more people

glad to hear a few people are actually making their covers, as I already said this was looking like a karaoke contest if anything. :ohmy: :wink:
 
am22884, is it ok if I use my guitar version of "Thank You" with your backing track in this contest, or would that be unfair?

New Years Day
Still Haven't Found...
Even Better...
Beautiful Day

I think a couple of them may sound a little odd but for the most part they are pretty good. Let me know if you want any of them & i'll YSI them.

Would you mind sharing these with me, I'm not using them for this contest but it seems like I don't have all of the backing tracks avaliable in my collection.

Scaramanga!! help! I need to know when the LATEST POSSIBLE DATE I CAN SEND YOU MY ENTRY IS!?!? i'm working on it but I've got two gigs this week and am not going to be able to give my cover my full attention right now! When's my 'battle'??
 
I'll be sending mine tomorrow (DEC 5) as I've been busy writing a paper tonight. No biggie I hope as I'm in the second bracket, no?

EDIT: Also are we allowed to submit a new cover for each round of the contest? :hyper:

My email is u2beginner@hotmail.co.uk

Btw, is it okay to enter with just singing to a backing track?
