Title: VRA! [Interactive] Split-Screen Covers - Metropolis Part 1 - JAM-ALONG!
Post by: zolhof on July 11, 2010, 05:04:32 PM
Hey,

After many many days of uploading to youtube, We're happy to announce our INTERACTIVE version of the Metropolis Part 1 'VRA! Split-Screen Covers' is finally up.

When we started out the project we agreed within the band that we wouldn't release "backing track" versions of our recordings. This was to preserve the uniqueness of our videos, since they did require lots of hard work and money to be done. Our compensation for the effort would be basically (and hopefully) the exposure.

That being said, we have received countless messages and emails from people around the world interested in play-alongs for their particular instruments, which we've had to deny, up until now...

We feel this particular online cover has surpassed our expectations, reaching over 250k hits on Thiago's channel, and we want to offer you something special in appreciation to the support we've been getting for both the VRA! Split-Screen Covers and our band of originals Bad Salad.

So here it is... the [INTERACTIVE] Metropolis Part 1, offered to you by VRA!
It's our way of saying thank you!

Grab your instrument and jam away at it!  :metal

If you don't play an instrument, you might still enjoy listening to the different mixes, so check it out!

Have fun!

VRA!!!

I was just singing along, and yeah, I suck :lol

JLB register is way too high for me.

Will the singers of this forum please upload their rendition of this song with this instrumental?

Awesome rendition.

I'm actually trying to put something together like this using Pull Me Under.  Unfortunately I don't have all of that state of the art equipment so I know it's not going to sound that good.

I might give the vocals a go, although I'll say I'm not nearly as kick-ass as the presented track. I have a different singing style, but I love this tune and figure this is the closest I'll get to doing a decent cover of it.

just a suggestion, on the menu you might want to put the instrument along with the name and picture, because I forgot who everyone was when I was trying to pick
