Announcing... RiffMasters!

[Mitch Pearrow SJMP]

Well Alright
I shall hold my head high, and bring some dark doom.. and death will linger at the door.

 

[Thatbastarddon]

I'll bet good money @Thatbastarddon has a few rusty cowbells laying around. Probably next to where he found his rusty kazoo and triangle.
He is the only guy I know that can go in his garage and figure out how to play Chopin's Nocturnes in B flat minor with nothing more than a flathead screwdriver and a tire iron.
Although @C-Grin did use a power drill, so there's that ...

Nope. No cowbell here….

I’d like to do “Paint it Black”.

Depending on what I can scrounge for free time, I've always wanted to cover "Send Me a Postcard Darling."



****Edit**** I just read the rules, I don't think that is a #1.

Oh crap! I don't think mine was technically a #1 either!!!

*Edit* it looks like it technically was NOT a #1 hit though showed up as a top 100 song of the 1960s based on chart performances and length of stay. So in fairness to the rules, if it needs to be changed I can opt out to another? If so, I can keep it Sly and go with Everyday People, which IS a #1 pop song.

 

[TVvoodoo]

@Clockworkmike you are absolutely welcome to change. Can't believe how many of you were forced to!!


If only you knew of my evil-hearted thoughts about breaking the news to you only after you produced your covers of ineligible songs. Couldn't do it.

 

[SG John]

After much turmoil..... I'll go for Suspicious Minds if I have some time.

Lmao that's my kinda luck: all bad

 

[TVvoodoo]

Just a quick reminder... I note Round 3 3rd place finisher @LiveeviL2000 narrowly claimed his place. Both he & brother @Sapient uploaded submissions THE VERY SAME DAY, less than a week after the "Dirty Dirt" challenge dropped. However, LE2K edged L'il Sapi X out of third place (and two extra points) narrowly timewise..

No pressure!

 

[LiveeviL2000]

Nope. No cowbell here….

I call Bullsh ... bell!! You'll manufacture one if you have to, you cant fool me!

Yeah…I could probably put something “passable” together…but I do not have a cowbell.

 

[LiveeviL2000]

I have 2 things to say.
1) WHERE THE HELL WAS THIS CHALLENGE WHEN I DUELED MIKE!! This is right up my Alley!!!
2) I know the duel says no production, but hot damn if Come Together wouldn't sound great in drop B!!!!

Damn it all to hell!! I'm dropping down to A or until my strings feel like over cooked linguini!!
I didnt know what to do with my main challenge until NOW!!!
BARBARIAN BOB will shake the gates of Valhalla with the might of the thunder god himself! The Valkyrie will Come together alright, if ya know what I mean!!

 

[LiveeviL2000]

Hell YEAH!!! I'll have this thing done by tomorrow or Thursday.
The Beatles just went ...
METAL TO THE CORE!!! \nn/

 

[ibmorjamn]

I’ve got Honky Tony Woman

I had thought about that one. Great song .
Open G, I never even tried that tuning .

 

[ibmorjamn]

"1. Drop tune that axe until you feel the Gates of Hell trembling, aching to burst and unleash a legion of infuriated demons."

No religion allowed.

Then the gates of Urizen.

 

[LiveeviL2000]

I was up until 2 last night working on my challenge.
Almost there. It’s “coming together”
See what I did there?

Don't worry I got the cowbell but no rust.
