Title: Do You Like Worms/Roll Plymouth Rock cover (psst.. it's not bad!)
Post by: egon spengler on October 30, 2011, 02:23:21 AM
just finished up my highly-anticipated (by my mom) DYLW/RPR cover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ufh0HdAoqXA

i've been trying to finish my full SMiLE cover for almost 2 years now, and i'm finally coming to grips with the fact that nobody's ever going to hear these songs except me if i keep waiting till the whole album is ready before i post them individually.  let me know how you like them, and maybe it'll give me the boost i need to finish the rest! :)

Yeah really enjoyable :)

Can you tell me how if all the instruments were recorded live, or were some software or sampled instruments used?

Looking forward to hearing the rest as well man!

WOW! Fantastic work! I was really hoping to hear barnyard right after your "whoo whoos" at the end!

Especially liked the deep vocal chanting ya did!

Definitely would like to hear more!

thanks, guys!

Sam, the only "non-instrument" on here is the timpani (i pulled a sample from a free sound library website). it's me playing "live" on the electric and 12-string guitars, electric (pick) bass, fretless bass, ukulele, and kazoo. the piano, harpsichord, and synth bass (in the chorus) are all me playing the parts on my keyboard.  it's me on all the vocals.  i want this to sound as authentic as possible, so i'm glad you had to ask!

rab, i really wanted to wait till i had barnyard (and YAMS + barnshine, following the TSS template) finished, but who knows when that'll be. i have posted some others already, if you haven't seen them:

Our Prayer:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1N7gvwcFz_I
H&V (single-version, mono):  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWaz0RiE0HU
Til I Die:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBpZLio1wms
Surf's Up:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC6JTkYz3Bs

this Worms cover is the first one i've posted from my SMiLE covers that's pretty much where it will be when i'm done with the whole album. i'm re-doing Surf's Up from scratch, didn't include Gee in the version of Prayer i posted, and have a good stereo SMiLE-style H&V almost ready.

Wow.  Now I've listened to H&V and Surf's Up.  Great stuff.  You guys make me jealous.  The songs I could write if I had the talent on this board.  Keep it up!
