Meat Loaf Fan Recording Project Version 2.0
 

So, since the last time this happened, for whatever reason, it died, i wasn't here so I don't know why. But looking through the old thread, I found a bunch of interesting stuff, so why not start a new thread?

So post your fan recordings here. If anyone needs backing tracks, I can probably whip something up, and any collaborations would be awesome.

have fun doodz

An awesome thread to start man. If anyones is looking to sing a duet with yours truly I'm up for anything baby. Backing tracks would be gold if I could get any. All I want now is to hear the Loafers sing!!!!!!! heeehaw!!!!

OK, you and Wario can do "Loving You's a Dirty Job but Somebody's Gotta Do It"

You need a male and female for that. But I do sound a bit like Todd Rundgren (we have similar vocals) so I will collaborate with someone on that song. ;)

What song are you going to sing Dave? I'd love to hear your take on "Modern Girl" or "Clap your hands" if you'd be so kind. haha

Between you I'm sure you can figure out which one's the butch one.

Last time I used my singing voice was in the shower. My rubber duck jumped out the window and committed suicide.

PMPL ! I can't sing to save my life, on guitar hero, it comes on the screen, please stop trying to strangle the cat;) LOL..

:lmao: @ at the last three comments on this thread. I'm a well toned male specimen so I'm not the butch one Pud. I think Pud, 24K and Daveake should get together and record their version of "Nowhere Fast". I've always tried to imagine Pudding singing, but it normally ended with me breaking out in a cold sweat. If you can't sing don't worry about it at least it will give everyone a laugh.

Ill do:

Who is the leader of the people
and I think my Los Angelsoer will work great

Post them to the thread like a good poll dancer :)

I'll do Paradise by the Dashboard light with some beautiful lady on this forum. I just hope it doesn't turn into Paradise by the thrashboard :shit:

:lmao: I'm with you 24K. I suck at singing. Rock Band/Guitar Hero sure is fun though and I don't mind making an :moon: of myself while playing. Though, I can play the part of a menacing tree in a video, that is, if anyone needs a tree. :lol:

Have just started to play on Guitar Hero again, Jake never liked the noise and us prancing around like tw@ts:shock:;)
Hubby is really good at the drums, i am shite ! I am canny on guitar though, although annoyingly hubby is better!
I wish there was a Meat Loaf game ! Can you imagine how awesome that would be and playing guitar to all the superb heavy guitar based songs the list is endless !
Playing a tree, TFF !;)

Can you and me do a duet for this thread you sound like fun ;)

I think we need to kick our Genies in the ass because I wish the same. At this point I don't care if it's on one of those "plug and play" versions. I think it would be a great time regardless.

By the time Guitar Hero/Rock Band recognize Meat's work on their systems....we'll be in a old folks care facility. Hmmmm....who do I know in the gaming industry? :sherlock:

But back on topic, looks like you made the audition and are being cast as the next Patti ;) Great job, always a leading lady ;)

I have done a couple of recordings of Meat songs on singsnap.com. Im not the best singer, but I like it.

You have a nice voice Sarah, and considering how tricky both songs are to sing you done a great job. Well done :D

I'd like to do frying pan but i can't find a backing track anywhere. I'm told i'm a good singer and i've recorded for crying out loud before.

heres one of mine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_4mrDcO9To

would be interested in lost boys and golden girls, if there's a good backing track or maybe a home recording with just accoustic guitars for instance. Can't play that song on guitar though. ;)

Fun yep, sing nope;) LOL..

Sarah i do think you have a canny voice, thanks for sharing:-)

How did you do the backing track? This is my main problem, getting backing tracks.

By the way good cover!

I'll give it a go. I would definetly be up for singing a duet not sure if I'm as good as some of you but hey it'll be fun :D

He just sang over the Meat version. If you listen, you can hear Meat in the background. You can tell by the mic moving around all over the shop lol

Arr okay. I've found a program to do my own backing tracks.

Yep. I get the feeling that this will be somewhat of an online karaoke. I'm looking forward to someone actually doing their own composition of a song....anyone play the banjo?

:lmao:

It's just so hard to get backing tracks. I would have covered all of Meat's song by now :lol:. There is a free program called audicity which you can create backing tracks with, but I don't think it creates good ones in my opinion. I haven't used it in a while but you can put "Bat Out Of Hell" on it and remove the vocals..it really doesn't do a good job does anyone know a better way?

The only people that have a catalogue of Meat Loaf backing tracks are daveake, samurai, and DT. They are the only people I know of.

and anyone who has ever heard of karaoke :roll:

or ebay

Not if you are wanting to make a top of the range cover. The karaoke sound destroys the song it makes a rock song sound pop if you get me. To me the real deal is the exact same sound as the record without the lead vocals. :cool:

in which case, get a GOOD karaoke track. Such things do exist you know...

I'm onto it :cool:

But I still need a duet partner, and no one has requested to do one with me. :(

I don't think audacity makes that bad a backing track, i've got a good one for song of madness which i can't wait to record!

I tried taking out the vocals on "BOOH" with audacity and it sucked. Meat still came across loud and clear... a bit distorted alright. You could use a MIDI I suppose.

i have a meat loaf kariokie disk and just been praticing paradace on my owne with a quite diffent partner the kariokie disk i have is this one

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUNFLY-MEATLOA...item414cc45687

all i do is pop it in the cd player and it plays
beltin

Where the hell did they get the picture for the karaoke disk? :shock:

Heres my Los Angeloser/Who Is The leader thing:

http://kiwi6.com/file?id=gv27624ziy

I have re-recorded bits on LA (like the speech in the middle I omitted on YT).

Original LA:

I've been working on a version of Only When I Feel for about ...erm... five years now :oops: so this would be a good project for me if it takes shape!

I was going to do this and Lost Boys... with a piano playing friend of mine, for the last Nothing But A Merciless Night compilation, but he didn't pull his finger out in time and we missed the boat.

On another issue, I have some rather tasty music software on my PC so if anyone wants a midi beefed up for backing track usage, let me know ;)

Edit: Just listened to Wario's LA, that was a lot of fun! :lol:

What about one of your alternate personalities?

That's very true Pud, but even though the personalities change the vocals don't. ;) You up for a duet? "It Just won't quit" sums up my 5 year friendship with you. :lmao:

That's actually quite funny lol


If you lot are serious about recording something I know a sound engineer that'll record/mix any SERIOUS efforts

only 2 people downloaded my file :(
Wario's sad

Wario I will download your file in the morning; it's a bit late to have you blasting out of the speakers ;-) I may also have a look at Zodiacs.

Monstro that's excellent news. I'll keep that option open, and I'm sure some people will need more editing than others. :lol: I may see will Pudding duet with me on "It Just won't quit" :whistle: and where is that partner for Paradise I requested?? :roll:

I really need a backing track for frying pan guys.

I could lay down my vocals to the track first, then send you the MP3 and you can add yours. ;-)

xxxxx

I think we may have a problem....hmmm. Can you use any sound editing software? Is it possible to sing it live over the Internet, and have it recorded? In this day and age with all the technology I'm sure it's possible.

Skype :D

Skype it is, but my skype won't open. :roll: I tried recording my own own version of "Masculine" today with a new opening but I'm not happy with it so I've stopped recording. I'm also planning on doing "Paradise" with MLUKFC''s very own amethyst. :D

Is this another insult thread or a "fan" recording project?

good point. sorry. well, seriously, download my track. its not as bad you think it is and i think it will be good album intro:

http://kiwi6.com/file?id=gv27624ziy

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...arioSmiley.gif

i'm going to make a backing track of hot patootie thats similar to the hang cool version if anyone's interested

Please do, it could be the only proper recording of it we'll ever get :(

Would anyone object to me doing We're Still The Children, seeing as it's technically not a Meat Loaf song?

go for it

Thread cleaned, please keep to topic or go to the insult thread

I've tried making a backing track of Los Angeloser with audicity and it's sucks big time, and not only that I can't open up a karaoke of Paradise I was sent. So I can't record my vocal. errr I'm so frustrated, but give me time. This thread is awesome, and there's a lot of talent on MLUKFC from what I've heard so far. Keep it up people.

Frying Pan with audacity sucked. I can't get a backing track anywhere for that.

Erm, not at all! Have you heard this?

Also, since I've just reacquainted myself with the Joe's Pub version of OWIF, I'm going to do two versions - the Hair of the Dog version (with bitchin' intro guitars :D) and the aforementioned Joe's Pub version (which has a very different piano part.)

Id like to join in if I could. I would like to do If I Can't Have You and Two outta Three if that would please you guys.

Anyone know a program to make good backing tracks besides audacity?

You mean does anyone know of a FREE program besides audacity? ;-)

I'm guessing you could take either the MSO or 3 Bats DVD, rip the 5.1 audio track and then edit Meat's vocals out of the centre channel, but it's a lot of work.

I've got those mp3's so I could probably do that. Not sure how well audacity would work with live songs though.

I just tried a couple songs from MSO...not too bad imo

Did you record them? Would like to hear that.

I tend to use Goldwave, which is similar to audacity in its functionality and its freeness ;)

Although it'll be of no more help in actually 'creating' backing tracks short of having access to the masters...

Go for it !

I will have them uploaded in a few days. its a slow process since i live in an apartment and singing Meat isn't exactly appreciated at some hours of the day. :)

how'd you extract the vocals?

My recordings are on hold because my voice seems to have gone somewhere else lately. Think i've got a cold.

Expect a flurry of posts because people were expecting you to sing and rumours in the press of poor advance sales of forthcoming recording forcing you to fake said cold and cancel, you have been warned lol

Tell it to come back...has it gone camping for the week?

I smell excuses. :lol: But I'll wait in anticipation for your recordings pal. ;)

I know it's a complete disaster lol! Hang on I think I can hear the reporters setting up camp in my garden....

I'm sure some of these tracks have had their vocals enhanced ... :))

They're still great to hear though, keep 'em coming.

Here are my covers, recorded on my 16-track. Two of my favorites, Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through and I'm Gonna Love Her For Both Of Us.

Not bad mate, i like the original take on it with acoustic guitar.

So i emailed Paris music about doing some songs off the new album, song of madness etc. And the guy said they have no plans to make them available. But he did say he would do a custom job for me if i wanted. Now please bear in mind that all of his other decent well produced backing tracks are £10. How much did he quote me to make song of madness? 230 f***ing pounds!

So that's the end of that I guess.

i think they're only expecting to make one, given the fact it is an album track from what would apparently be very much an unknown album but it is a huge amount to consider paying.

It's a good point if they're thinking not many people will buy the track. But still £230 is obscene. I was expecting him to say something like £30 for a once off, so i was amazed.

my god they charge the person costumizing it that much cause it takes labor to make. hope else will paris music make money? They sell the track for 10 pounds because if its downloaded 30 times they get their money back plus profit.

Though 230 is kinda steep.

Never spend more then 200.

Amnesty Is Granted
 

Put the Amnetsy Track I got made and just sat and sang.

I couldn't find my mic nor my mic clip, so I had to improvise. I rolled up a paper ball and got a big sharpie mark and wrapped that and taped it up in paper. Then I taped them together then taped them to the mic stand. Hope its not too distracting....

Hope this one is good:

That was entertaining Wario, but i'd like to see you go for it a bit more, bit more power, bit higher.

LOL - that was actually a GREAT video Wario! I really enjoyed it!

Re Wario's Amnesty Is Granted...

Incidentally, one of my favourite non Jim songs by Meat...

PMSL :lmao:

Absolutely brilliant - it's like a bizarre combination of Ask Elvis and Tim Curry's Frank N Furter. Everyone on X Factor should be made to watch this as a demonstration of how to perform a song.

Thanks Wario - really cheered me up before going to work :lol:

Thanks you :))

But why the hell was Like a rose deleted???? :?:?

Because when some people clicked on it it came up with the message that the video had been set to private and you had to accept a friend request to view it. That was either an error or you want to increase your youtube "fancount", either way if you want it on this site it has to be set to public.

Oh. it was a mistake. I just forgot to unset it to private which happens when you upload directly from Final Cut.....

:| If that were the true why do I not set the actual Meat Loaf content to private.

I deleted the LAR cover. will will redo it later with my best bud.

That looks suspiciously like some other type of device wrapped in paper.:shock::-)

hot patootie
 

Enjoy:

YouTube Video

Enjoy may have been the wrong word.

Wario, you have to keep in mind that Eddie is a badass biker, who rides an old military Harley-Davidson. Would be cool if you tried to be more authentic and adjust your style of singing to the character. ;)

I tried to just concentrate on singing not character this time.

This is what happens when i do the opposite :roll::

YouTube Video

WOrking on Promised Land, Modern Girl and RRD

C'mon Sarge, we all know they wear hockey tops lol

Just try to be more... MASCULINE. :D

Totally. Like singing that song gay for reason.

Masculine is the one song i wanna do. my BT needs to get made first :roll:

The Promised Land
 

Enjoy:

YouTube Video

Totally pulled a lot out of my ass on this one.

You definitely have acting and entertainer skills as well as passion for what you do. :D:up: Very good but you often sound more like an Elvis impersonator than like Meat Loaf. ;)

you could argue Meat sometimes sounded like him too back in the late 80s. :shrug:

Wario, I think you're nuts and you've got huge balls to do what you do in front of people. You're hugley entertaining. Can't not smile watching you.

Elvis Loaf can you put whatever you pulled out of your ass back in.:-)
