Twisted Sister

[Marc]

I'm making a new version - soft acoustic version with guitar, cello, viola and violon- with a power point or macromedia flash "video" I'd like to distribut on the internet, denouncing the corporate agenda and the financial system.

So... for that, I need someone who can sing acappela on "We're not going to take it" by Twisted Sister. Same tempo, but no shouting like the original version, something more delicate but with strenght; something that conveys conviction but represents the silent voice of the population.

To be frank, I'll take anything, because it's hard to find a singer over the internet.

Lyrics: http://www.darklyrics.com/lyrics/twistedsi...snastycuts.html with minor modifications I'd like to make

Song: email me if you don't have it

Well... if anyone's interested, reply to this tread, it'd be cool. I assure a professional sounding song.

Hey Marc

If you're stuck, and I mean stuck I'll give it a go. It wouldn't be problem normally, but getting into my studio is a bit of problem at the moment.

Cheers

Wow! Thanks John, I'm not really stuck right now but... it'd be really great if you sang the song, if it's not too difficult accessing to your studio. Entering into my studio is a bit of a problem at the moment too, my computer is down. I'm working on the arrangements with my guitar and keyboard. What happened to your studio? The left over pizzas in the room finally took over the place? Who am to joke around, my studio is a mess!

Twisted Sister is an 80s metal band who wore dreadful costumes and played the role of dissenters of authority, in an teenager's way.

Hey, they have a website! I didn't know they were still alive.

Hey Marc, I'll give it a go if you want. Do you have tracks yet? I'm familiar with the song. If I'm not up to par, I have a Friend who might do better. Sounds like fun!

Hey Marc

I hurt my back in September. I spend most of my time on the floor at the mo, and my studio is in the attic.

That said my wife cleared the pizza boxes 2 weeks ago so I can get in easier.

I was planning on getting started recording and getting one of my friends to operate the gear for me, so it's not a major issue, assuming I can climb the stairs! For dependability, if nothing else, you might be better going with Nightwolf. either way just let me know and it's cool.

Cheers

I wish you recover soon. Speaking of back pain, I'm one who shares the same condition. I have an appointment at the chiropractor's tomorrow. Previously, I went to see an osteopath. But what really saved me was applied kinesiology. by balancing the verterbrae muscles, I could avoid subluxations.

Yesterday, I cleaned up my studio. It was the saw dust and piles of books that made it a mess. Well, we'll see tomorrow if it can stay clean.

Take care!

Oh yeah! Thank you for accepting, you or your friend. The tracks aren't recorded yet, but it'll only be a matter of a few weeks before I record and mix the song. I have to call the computer store today to see if my computer's fixed. I'll send you preliminary tracks to you to get an idea as soon as I can. It'll be fun!

John, you do realise you have to wear the outfit and make up?

and then post a photo!

I'm having a serious problem with my computer. The computer store replaced the motherboard (it was still convered by the garantee), but now I'm having problems with my sound card. I'll have to buy a new one before I can do anything musical with my computer. I really liked my soundblaster platinum ex with its breakbox. To heaven you go little one, you served me well during the past 1 and a half year...

[john]

What's your sound card problem? Have you tried changing the pci slot it is inserted in?

[Marc]

What's your sound card problem? Have you tried changing the pci slot it is inserted in?

I tried that. In fact I tried everything, even positive thinking by sending positive energy waves to the computer. I bought a new card in the end. The X-Fi. Now I'm in the process of reinstalling everything on my computer; I formatted it a few days ago.

[Marc]

Forgot to say thank you for the suggestion to help out with my sound card!

[Marc]

The song is progressing. It starts with acoustic guitar, playing arpeggiated. Then I've arranged it with a violon and a cello up to now. But I'm still looking for a good sounding cello. I'm 1/4 way through the song!

[Marc]

I'm still at it. I'm recording the solo now, with an acoustic guitar. The strings arrangement is sounding good, but I'm still looking for more realistic-sounding sampled instruments. I'm using Vienna solo strings.
