Hi guys, we got something very special for you this month, as its Guitarblasts 2 Year Anniversary, its time for a Mega Vocal Jam :rock: , the song is the Kiss classic "God Gave Rock'n'Roll", and i wanna see everyone on this this one :)
We have 14 slots available, and we want everyone singing on the chorus's (so please remember that when recording your slot), here are the lyrics and the slot infomation:

[Everyone]
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone


[Slot1]Do you know what you want? You don't know for sure.
[Slot2]You don't feel right, you can't find a cure
[Slot3]And you're getting less than what you're looking for

[Slot4]You don't have money Or a fancy car
[Slot5]And you're tired of wishing on a fallen star
[Slot6]You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar

[Everyone]
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone

God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone



[Slot7]"Now listen", If you wanna be a singer Or play guitar
[Slot8]Man, you gotta sweat it or you won't get far
[Slot9]Cause it's never too late to work nine-to-five

[Slot10]You can take a stand Or you can compromise
[Slot11]You can work real hard or just fantasize
[Slot12]But you don't start living til you realize


[Everyone]
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone

God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone


[Slot13]God gave rock and roll to you
(To everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone

God gave rock and roll to you
(To everyone he gave the song to be sung)
Gave rock and roll to you
Save rock and roll for everyone
Saved rock and roll


[Everyone]
God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone

God gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone

[Slot14]
I know sometimes life can get tough,
And i know sometimes life can be a drag,
But people you have been given a gift,
We have given a role,
And that roles name is,
Rock and Roll

Depending how many ppl we get sign up, the slots may change, but it would be really great if we could get as many ppl as possible on this, make the Annual Jam something really special, and don't worry if you can sing or not, its for fun, and for everyone :thumb:

The backing track is attached below, as is the original for anyone who doesn't know it, sign up for a slot here in this thread, once you've recorded your parts (leave the hi-hats at the beginning plz), send them to Bahamut, as he'll be mixing the project from this point on.

The drums were programmed from scratch by me, i play bass, and all rhythm guitars, Mart plays all the lead, you'll notice some backing vocals on the chorus's by me, these are so everyone can sing in time to them (and at the end, you only have to sing the chorus where i sing them), and i've already recorded my slot in the middle, so hopefully you all have abit to work with :)

I think thats everything, so lets make this a good one guys :thumb:

Slot 1:Bahamut
Slot 2:Naifuzan
Slot 3:Macman
Slot 4: Bahamut
Slot 5:Janelle
Slot 6:Stereophony
Slot 7:GT777
Slot 8:Bahamut
Slot 9:Khelbanzon
Slot 10:Solitude
Slot 11:SteveG
Slot 12:Eamon7
Slot 13:Avalon
Slot 14:Avalon

I'm in, any slot will do! :banana:

If it wasn't THIS song ... or the KISS version (not originally a KISS song y'know) ... then I'da put meself forward.

Just have a dislike 'thing' about Gene Simmons a.t.m. after the recent press from "Download" ... and not to mention their deplorable treatment of Ace Frehley.

sorry ... don't mean to de-rail the thread ... and I'll leave it peaceful-like now ... but I just feel quite strongly about it.

I had that problem too lol, in hindsight, maybe we should of moved the key :lol: , but that would have made it trickier to play, so we're between a rock and a hard place.
I'm sure you'll sound great mate, and you can always sing it Dylan style :)
