Announcing... RiffMasters!

And to think of the tens and tens of thou$and$ worth in tape, machines, all the processors, effects, a console, etc. needed to record anything a few decades ago. How much per hour you say?

You can pretty much put most of it together pretty decent for a thousand bucks. Spend a bit more if you want top shelf mics which probably in the grand scheme of it all make the biggest difference, a treated room, good monitors. I have none of those LOL!

Having talent, inspiration and the time to use it are the real hardest thing to buy LOL!

Don’t forget to adjust for inflation… ;) and $ per track, then vs now, is ludicrous….never-mind perceived quality difference.

Congratulations @jtcnj ! Well done, good tone, good material choice! Fun for the whole family!

Congratulations @Ku² ! Ten more points than I have achieved in this round. A very solid entry, with a bit of a T-Rex vibe (to my cloth-ear)…I only wished for a tiny bit more “up front” vocal. It’s a shame to hide that talent you’ve, obviously, got going on.

I really liked both entries. KU², That was a catchy riff (hook) It would be funny if you blanked out the Fu's and put on the radio.
People would buy it just to hear the un-edited version.

Maybe something like this could help in the talent dept.

Anyway if you sang it , Joey is reincarnated. Lol

No, I edited my post to clarify, and in later posts clarified I was only playing along to the song.

Unfortunately, due to an arrogant, and dismissive 3-chord monkey insult (there are actually 4, lol), implying I may have cheated (not playing on the track at all), minimal effort, and flat out saying I suck, etc. this experience has left a bad taste.
This was followed by an excuse about humor as justification.
I even voted for the guy, before I read the stuff he posted.

If being pissed off after unprovoked personal attacks is "butthurted", then so be it.
This is the kind of :poo: that prompts people to leave forums.
At the least, it has really turned me off to the Riffmasters thing. I was reluctant to participate, and have stated many times I am not much of a player.

I chose not to respond while heated.
So, I refer to the title of Ku2's punk submission and direct it to him (as he did to me / us in post #1093).


Thanks to the rest of you for your kind words and support.

Eat my dust suckers, I'm on top!!
(if even for the briefest of moments)

 
Is this the main competition thread? There are a few. ?? Anywho ..I can repost somewhere else if nececellery. Here's my Punk submission, an original called ...

Drive a Pencil through your Gut

If you're feeling lonely
The world seems out of key
You broke your damn last cigarette
The lock don't fit your key

Drive a pencil through your gut

You broke your leg last Saturday
Your dog got off his leash
Had to piss into a bottle
Cuz the bathroom's being cleaned

Drive a pencil through your gut

Drive a pencil through your gut
Drive a pencil through your gut
Drive a pencil through your gut

Sick of life and :poo: you don't care
No more fks to give out cuz you've already been there
Your boss got smart so you kicked his smart ass
Now you're thinking of her while you're kicking a can.

Upcoming appointments canceled
Too lazy to get there
Can't steal a box of cheap white wine
Surveillance everywhere

Drive a pencil through your gut

I suspect true RiffMasters will prove out skills other than musical virtuosity. Ego suppression, ignoring critics, smart choices, positivity, dogged persistence round after round as well as creative flexibility. Also, not being a dick. Y'know... the long game.

Member @Sapient kicks down the RiffMasters clubhouse door, to drive a pencil in everyone's gut with a fun original!! Nicely produced and performed ya punk!!! ! A bit heavy on syllables for a couple lines, and I kept hearing background vocals that weren't actually there.

Too bad it won't get voted on... but good for one solid point to find entry onto the RiffMaster board!


Welcome sir!

Good job sounds like 1977, nice capture !! Punk had a lot of influence on me,more than ever gave credit to
 
Also, RiffMasters™ will assume no legal liabilities for any medical distress or personal injuries incurred by the
preceding dangerous mental health solution as proposed by member @Sapient

To be very clear: Driving a pencil directly into your own abdomen is in no way, at no time, an ideal solution for your petty life problems.

As far as I know Sapient is not a licensed or practicing psychotherapist, or even a life coach, though if perhaps he may claim so, a malpractice suit might be in order.

In fact, I would add, driving the pencil into the stomach of the source of the problems, ie. the offending persons in your life, is much more direct and effective solution, (though choosing to perform any such action would
be completely at your own risk of moral/legal jeopardy).

Oftentimes, simply offering the THREAT of such action, may in fact, produce satisfactory results.

I have asked our Friend mr. @Ku² to re-evaluate his ego a little bit via PM

This game is meant to be supportive, and there is a wide mix of talent and skill levels
involved. You can't be a guitar player without some sort of ego.

On the flip side, lets try to be welcoming to a newish member, and not be home crowd types.
I can't tell you how to vote, but bear in mind we should be judging the work, not the worker

I really like his submission , I have been in so many forums people have just Unleashed horrible comments and I battled some myself.
I don't want to see people take off.
I was on the fence with my vote. Voting is harder than the songs.
