Re: SUGGESTIONS: JUNE 2017 FEATURED SONG OF THE MONTH (18 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Ok, so no one has made suggestions yet and since this time the songs will be picked from the most votes, I am going to start the ball rolling with these suggestions.
There are just so many choices out there but I will start with these two male artists simply because they have been or are coming to NZ this year. I went to see Bruce Springsteen earlier this year and I am hoping to get to Cat Stevens as well. I love lots of their songs but just went with these two. Hmm the females artists ... there are heaps of choices I like out there but I tried to pick females artists and songs that you guys can cover too.
MALE: Cat Stevens ... Father and Son
MALE: Bruce Springsteen ... My Home Town
FEMALE: Bonnie Rait ..... Something to Talk About
FEMALE: Amy Winehouse ..... Rehab

Re: Zelie,s song from the studio (5 replies, posted in My local band and me)
I really enjoyed both versions of your song Mojo ..... both had my attention, both were great listening. I think the studio one was more professional on the recording side and I think you played it without the capo on the 3rd fret? where as the original you played it with the capo on? I think the original was still good though as you have a natural talent anyway. Hard to choose between the two songs which i preferred as they were both good. I guess if it boiled down to it, the recorded version would be better listening on the radio for the sound quality but as I said tough choice as i like both versions.

Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down is a song written by Kris Kristofferson before becoming a number one hit for Johnny Cash. This song has been performed by many artists over the years including Willie Nelson.

The song also hit #35 on the Top 40 Mainstream chart. Alvin and the Chipmunks covered the song for their 2007 video game Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Re: Your Opinion? (11 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Hmmm interesting questions easybeat. Guess for me, if I just don`t like their music (sound or lyrics) I won`t bother listening a second time. Sometimes I just don`t like what they stand for or show themselves to stand for e.g. Marilyn Manson is an example of this, so I wouldn't bother getting his music. Using your example easybeat of Gary Glitter, no I wouldn't get any of his music because of his history (not that I liked him or his music much anyway).

Sorry Grah1 ... I that link still didn't work for me. It just keeps on reading "Sorry this contact isn`t available right now". Maybe somebody else could try to see if they can hear Grah1 on that FB link? Especially someone that hasn't got Grah1 as a FB friend, as that may possibly be the reason I can`t access it ? Anyway, can some one else try to see if they can access it and let us know, thanks.

Re: SUGGESTIONS: MAY 2017 FEATURED SONG OF THE MONTH (29 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Gidday Jandle
many of the songs suggested are of a similar type.
so i`m thinking lets rattle the cage & do a Bee Gees disco song.
Now calm down, maybe settle for one of the great songs ever.
`To Love Somebody`
Hi easybeat, now that song would have been a great suggestion when we were looking for 60`s and 80`s songs as that song was written and recorded in 1967 and re-released in 1980
but we are now looking for songs from the 70`s and 90`s era`s. Got some song suggestions for those era`s?

Re: APRIL 2017 FSOTM - THE WEIGHT - JACK AND DIANE (52 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Wow, I just spent the afternoon listening to everyone`s covers after being away again for the last couple of weeks, so it took me awhile to get through them all.
Firstly ... fantastic effort everyone for having a go at these covers .... just brillant ![]()
Secondly .... the effort by everyone has been fantastic! I can honestly say each and every cover by everyone was great, the talent on here in Chordie is amazing! I enjoyed listening to them all, my foot tapping along to each, trying not to sing along so that i could actually listen to you all singing (but because you all sang your versions so good it was hard not to sing along with you all). Loved the different styles, different voices, harmonica`s on some, wow!!! Felt like i was cheering each and everyone of you on!
Thirdly .... 'The Weight' seems to have been the most popular song to perform by most of you .... with 'Jack and Diane' only being done by BGD. Any other takers on this song before the end of the month? Would love to hear more people have a go at this song ![]()
Finally ...... I left you all comments on Sound Cloud ![]()
