Who really looks into the "Arts and Creative Works" forum?
Exactly, only the people starting the threads.
With that in mind, I'm pimping my "Killer Queen" cover right here, in GD.

Enjoy.

Wrong forum.

Hyperplex · « **Reply #2 on:** May 21, 2010, 10:31:25 PM »

This is precisely why I thought the Art & Creative Works forum was extraneous to begin with; the only people who read the threads there are the people who post in the forum in the first place. GD gets the most traffic so those looking for exposure are better off posting here anyway.

I've wanted to post the (very) few things I've done recently to GD but didn't feel like dealing with moved threads all the time.

I agree, I posted something in the musicians forum, but stuff there mostly gets ignored.

Great, now GD is going to be polluted by a bunch of talentless wannabes.

No, that would be the Dream Theater Discussion.

BTW, did anyone actually listen to the tune?

Which part(s) are you performing? I'm not real familar with the original recording by Queen - particularly the instrument parts, but that sounded pretty good.

rumborak · « **Reply #8 on:** May 21, 2010, 11:47:26 PM »

Bass, drums and piano are MIDI. I play guitar and sing. Vocals are a bit out of my range, but I was actually surprised at how much I liked the end result.

That's you singing? Wow.

I always pictured you having this super super low german voice that only says mean things about gays and jews.

rumborak · « **Reply #10 on:** May 21, 2010, 11:52:51 PM »

I take it you haven't played the tune backwards yet.

Anyways, this is really good! The singing is very impressive.

Listening now. And you're right about the other subforum. I rarely visit there. Of course, most of my posting is done from work, when I can't really view/hear other things like that. Can't speak for everyone else.

Nice work here, BTW. Your guitars are gorgeous.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #15 on:** May 22, 2010, 12:01:42 PM »

Man, Rumbo guitars are stellar!!

Zydar · « **Reply #16 on:** May 22, 2010, 12:11:31 PM »

Sounds great Rumbo! You really captured Brian's tone.

Pirate · « **Reply #17 on:** May 22, 2010, 01:24:18 PM »

I approve of this cover. Good work

El Barto · « **Reply #18 on:** May 22, 2010, 01:46:58 PM »

Unfortunately, that's one of my very least favorite Queens songs, so I'm no qualified to contribute much.

As for the subforum, I agree. I've poked around in there once or twice, and made some comments to somebody who'd posted some piano work in there. I doubt said person even noticed. In the end I decided that even the people who post material in there don't pay enough attention to the posts, so why bother.

icysk8r · « **Reply #19 on:** May 22, 2010, 01:50:30 PM »

Very good. A tiny bit pitchy on some parts, but lightyears ahead of what most people can do.
Great job!

Agreed. The subforum is kind of pointless, but at the same time, if we didn't have it, this forum would be barraged with those topics and then other topics would get buried quicker.

And I listened to it just for the guitar work, but I was pretty surprised with the vocals. Not bad at all, considering Freddie was the one of the greatest singers of all time.

Guitars were killer, as expected.

Nick · « **Reply #21 on:** May 22, 2010, 04:10:12 PM »

While Rumby's point is valid, I am tempted to move this to where it belongs and start a discussion thread in forum suggestions regarding the sub-forum. That is what *should* have been done.

Wait... I think I'll just do that.

reneranucci · « **Reply #22 on:** May 22, 2010, 06:50:34 PM »

Does anybody see the forum suggestions thread? I´ve never been there.

On topic: great job rumborak!

MetalJunkie · « **Reply #23 on:** May 22, 2010, 10:53:10 PM »

Sorry, Rumbo. Nick just killed your chance for any potential views.

Really nice work, though, it sounds amazing.

emindead · « **Reply #24 on:** May 23, 2010, 08:29:53 AM »

Of course you liked the end result; it's a really well done cover!

Major Props to you and your kin.

Sadly, yes. I got "parked".

I don't know. Not that I consider my recording an ultimately awesome piece of art, but this "I'm sorry, but we're gonna park your own effort in this never-seen thread, to make space for the next 'LOL' thread" is a bit sad, I find.

And nobody is gonna read this, either.

You and every other single person in the arts/musicians forum....

icysk8r · « **Reply #27 on:** May 24, 2010, 10:42:11 PM »

Sorry, went to the wrong forum... thought this was GD.

What the hell is this place?

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #28 on:** May 25, 2010, 11:32:45 AM »

Excellent work. Sounds great!
