Our lockdown video #1

[WalMan]

The Alibi - Bound For Glory (BSR cover)

it’s only taken a global pandemic for us to get our derrière into gear and do some recording, but ain’t t’interweb a marvellous thing sometimes 😁

Very nice!

I am really enjoying this trend of lockdown video. Super appealing way of consuming each other's music.

Love it, BSR are great, that’s my fave song of theirs and you’ve done it proud, WalMan, thumbs up from me!

Cheers. Really pleased with the way this turned out, and more in progress so something comes out of this all even if we can't be out gigging. 

It's also got

• one guitarist who didn't do the home recording buying a few bits to continue the process
• the other sorting out problems with Zoom calls; and
• the suggestion that we look to record all new songs we do, because the recording of this brought out a couple of differences between what the two guitarists were playing that got sorted not tighten things up and it looks like a good way of ironing out little bits like that for new songs that otherwise be missed in rehearsals.

I'm loving these lockdown videos too. That was enjoyable and I found myself watching it twice. We're supposed to be doing one ourselves but it seems to be taking an age to get off the ground.

Me too! I really like to watch what and how people are playing.

Really cool @WalMan

Got two more to film tomorrow and at final mix agreement / going for mastering on Tuesday.

To come:

• Ride Like The Wind - Chris Cross; hopefully quickly followed by
• Blame It On The Boom Boom - Black Stone Cherry 

Then there’s some Electric Boys, Journey, and maybe GUN (got to build the guide for GUN tomorrow if the weather’s pish)  🙂

Looking forward to those, Black Stone Cherry especially

Unfortunately the BSC one may not see the light of day - vocalist not happy with his performance at certain points, so it’s mastered but for band delectation only.

Ride Like The Wind is up today. Separate post follows

...turns out that if we had finished and posted Blame It On The Boom Boom we would have probably got our first YouTube strike. One of our guitarists has been doing some research and at least three we had at early stages are on the no-no list without additional licensing, even though they’re not being done with any view to monetising them.

Hey ho there’s plenty of others we can have a stab at 🙂
