I am absolutely dead serious: Who wants to get together and record an album of video game cover songs?[views:3986][posts:35]__________________________________________ [Aug 18,2004 8:35am - TheGreatSpaldino ""] I have always believe that game music has the greatest and most memorable melodies ever so i was just thinking "i want to hear what these songs would sound like, played by real instruments, in a metal kind of way, without butchering the song of course..." so yes, I am in the market for: a guitarist (or two... but since it would be an album, i only need one... but two would be sick because i owuld love to play atleast one live show) drummer (you must be able to play power metal style galloping double bass and the likes, although i have a drummer in mind...) and most importantly... a SYNTH player. yes, i NEED a synth player in order to retain that video game feel and atmosphere... plus driving synth lines fucking rule. so please... anyone that would be interested in getting together to practice about 40-50 minutes worth of video game music, for an album (which i have a studio to record at) please get in touch with me somehow email = spalding138@yahoo.com AIM = scaldinspaldin |

| ______________________________ [Aug 18,2004 9:02pm - Blue ""] NESkimos are cool, but they got a horrible guitar sound. |

Yes!! That game is really really awesome, but it does get old. However, yes, the soundtrack is great, I especially like the song for the boss fights. |
