Thx! It is a super drum groove.
I played it myself on my belly....
Or maybe downloaded it, can't recall which.
If I had a good opportunity I would have tried to properly sing it an octave up.

I don’t have octaves when singing. Just degrees of phlegm

DAYUM! Can't keep up with this chat. Every time I look it seems I've missed pages and pages. (I totally missed the cheese duel).
@TVvoodoo , I'm not sayin' a WORD about my cheese sub, to avoid giving you any ammo to talk smack, LOL
except the name,...
POP! Goes The Cheeseball
Read into it what you will. It's definitely the most retarded thing I've ever composed,

ANOTHER VOTE? WHAAAAAT?
The Chapter/Stage 8 Main Event challenged RiffMasters to take a NON-rock song and cleverly rock it up into something with some hard rock/metal biteyness to it. Bonus points were available if they took on a popular rap/hip hop song, or disco/dance hit. Voters have 48 hours to vote, minimum 3, maximum six votes to drop. Drop them all at once. In the even of a tied vote the earlier submission overpowers the other. We had a variety of very interesting entries... and bonus points will be awarded to some, but not all submissions.
Here are the submissions by TTR members vying for your votes and a
possible shot at tenancy in the luxurious RiffMaster Penthouse!
Frostyjr2 gritted up with Robert Palmers' funk/new wave hit "You Are In my System" with "Systemic"
TVvoodoo went after Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out Of My Head"
Ku2 Re-Experienced some "Good Times" by Chic
rumble.com
Ibmorjam lit up a "Disco Inferno" by Trammp
voca.ro
Aynirar27 Did a drive by on Ruff Riders by DMX making a "RiffMasters Anthem" death metal theme
Randy Van Malmsteen went all rockabilly retro with Bill Haley's "Rock Around the Clock"
Lind to ORIGINAL POST
Jethro Rocker went even further retro morphing "Catch a Falling Star" by Perry Como
Link to ORIGINAL POST
Gotta say some absolutely fearless choices here, and dang good Metalmorphs!
Takes creative vision, skill and sometimes killer weed to drastically re-imagine a song.
Please have a listen to the above, they worked hard to grab your ear for a minute or two,
and they didn't just post pics of their gear or stage posing, they actually spent some hours
to making something special as a personal challenge, and are allowing all of us to sample
the musical cakes that got baked.
This is the link WHERE you go vote!
We will reveal the Chapter 8 winner award bonus points in approx 48 hours,
But all entrants who participated in MetalMorphosis will enjoy a minimum 5 RiffMaster points.
Stay tuned too. Tomorrow night we'll see who gets extra points for the Side Hustle.
I am also currently working on Plan 9 and I predict the submissions will be
quirky AF and extremely entertaining. Still want more? How about yet another side hustle
that's gonna to be rather spicy, PLUS another entertaining Guitar Duel gonna happen too!
Any, all TTR members are welcome to join in the fun. The points don't mean nothin'
except to those who believe they do. The key thing here is finding motivation to create,
possibly something outside your comfort zone, and challenge yourself a little.

@Aynirar27 I just noticed the avatar tile for your RiffMasters Anthem.
Are you trying to imply RiffMasters is a big load of manure by any chance?

I just don't want to interrupt the flow by droppin' cheese,@Ku² You have about 47 hours to drop it, but you think laying it on us may affect how people vote?
Will it kill votes for you? Will it drive votes for me? Will armed men in black riot gear show up at your door in the wee hours?
Or mine?
SCANDALOUS!

I am opting out of the Guitar Duel "Trick Bag" cheese-o-rama fest because it is musically beneath me*
But for your enjoyment, I will now provide a synopsis of what you would have likely heard from me if I had done it,
but I do not expect a bonus point, only your admiration, and possible guitar worship.
First off, the best backing tracks are all in D-minor, as it is the very saddest key, and so would be mine, in a relentless,
chugging sort of way. Here is my lick architecture blueprint.
1 - Major pick slide (probably doubled), in stereo
2 - various unison bends moving up in keys
3 - garden variety suspended pull-off hammer-on same two notes six seconds
4 - probably a dive bomb of a 5th fret harmonic, hitting another on the twelfth fret coming back up
5- some pinch harmonics while I do some pentatonic minor noodling, a la Billy Gibbons
6 - more hammer-ons, while I reach behind the notes to bend the string up
7- probably some volume knob swell effects for ten seconds, much like on Eddies Cathedral but way better
8- A trick I can't tell you about, or how to do it, because it's top secret (but super-mindblowing)
9- some tapping stuff, with a pick, a la Back to the Future
10 - more various whammy stuff, uncategorizeable
11 - bending behind the nut while playing behind the bridge
leading up to...
12 - Final trick: sliding down the strings with one hand, immediately followed by the other hand, repeated to create a
sonic cascade of amazingness that climaxes into an open D-Chord of Greatness that will might make you lose bowel control.
*I can't do that stuff for scat!

And, as RiffMaster Game Controller/Inventor, I will award ONE bonus point to anyone who
shows they can perform my above Trick Bag Master plan inside sixty seconds, subbing in your own
top secret trick, in the key of your choice (as if it really matters).
I'd reveal my trick to you all, but it remains registered under tight control with the Canadian government as
a deadly weapon, only to be used in times of war, or some equally distressing national emergency.

That sounds about like something I would do as well , but probably not as good lol
