Just the TITLE of this thread foretold me i was in for it...

Klemme made some good points to remember.

...But dsop also made a fine point AW! Ouch! [img]wink.gif[/img]

Final Countdown?! Liked it OK for rock-pop when it came out; WTH did i know, i was an product [punk] of the 80s...but, now...one of the worst 80s violations ever! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

"May i pls have some fries [that've been setting under the lamps for hours] with that cheese?"

I really loved it when the sound guy came up and tuned the bass player's bass. Maybe he should have tuned the singer's voice! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

dsop; funk - LMAO

The only thing worse than the gtrst & bassist's stage presence was the drummer's groove...& the only thing worse than the drumrs groove was the keybd patch...& the only thing worse than the keybd patch was the lead vox!! Don't even get me started on the drum sound or overall mix...

With all due respect klemme; when i was 15, I STILL would've run from this band like a crackhead leaving Sears with a "lifted" VCR...

Is this from American Mydol Rejects; or America's Funniest Videos?!
Where are these guys from?! So we can identify the town...county...& region...& start planning the tours [BIG $$$]...or, the "shelling"... [img]tongue.gif[/img] j/k

OML...I had to pop in the real tune FC by Eur to get the taste outta my mouth...makes Poison look like CCEB...

LOL! GAMG.

Maybe they were a school-band of some sort, you know, once a week, one hour, play-together, with a teacher, play one gig infront of their parents, who thinks they're the best band in the world.

Final Countdown is not an Easy Tune.

They should have played something like Mustang Sally or Twist and Shout. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Doo it oldschool boys! we didn't play Spain as our first live tune either!

Awww the memories... My first was Mustang Sally, was like 6-7 years old or something like that, Think i dropped the tempo twice as fast, as the tuning on that guitar in the video [img]smile.gif[/img]

[I had to cover this tune in a band in the mid0to-late 80s, whenever it came out, into the very early 90s]...

I mean, reproducing a decent lead vox equivalent of the orig tune maybe i could understand...but musically...but...

Back in Highschool, we had to open somekind of welcome ceremony where every new student would come, and we were playing the Final Countdown.

The bass part on that tune is SOO hard to lock in with - It's a struggle. getting the thing, sound NOT mechanical or digital, but having the groove swinging is a serious task!.

The Form of the tune is the next thing. It's not a blues, not a C, F, G pop tune. it has alot of parts that has to be known, and has to be build up to, in terms of sound and dynamics, a small bit of breaks too!

It's a challenging arrangement, that the swedes are known to be making for years and years!
