I have the track laid out, just need to do vocals and bass and guitars and keyboards. And drum fills. And fix the drums. So yeah, an extension would be much appreciated!

So what's the new deadline? Or is this dead already? Either way, I managed to do some stuff this weekend so here is a second version that is at least somewhat complete. I'd still like to add some solo stuff inbetween (towards the end between the first and second repetition of the chorus), hopefully I can get that done tomorrow. If not, this might even be the final version. I am actually pretty satisfied with it. I'd like to redo some lyrics, but I've got a really bad cold right now so that's not possible. https://soundcloud.com/wuntvor/red-mercedes-second-version

I could rally and get mine done by the end of the weekend. Really all I have left is vocals. Anyone else close?

Alternative pants posted:I just don't want to see this go away I've been working on an EP I'm releasing soon so all my efforts are there, just no time for Rockstar. Maybe you can try that as your outlet? The next Rockstar should be originals. Or we start a thread to showcase our EPs and originals?

I just ain't have time for this one. Lots of hemi-semi-formed ideas, but nothing solid. Radiapathy posted:RockStar should stay RockStar, but I am totally down for an "originals" effort of some sort. I loved that "Photo is your Muse" thing that ran for a few weeks last year. The "Photo is Your Muse" thing ruled. Just needs something that's not car pictures.

Yeah, I am definitely still up for this.. I feel like I'm finally getting to the point where I can actually get something done. I guess the momentum just isn't there for this one, couldn't be bothered to further polish my entry either. I'm definitely up for whatever comes next, though!

Something that got proposed a few threads ago was we all do covers of each others' originals. Not as a RockStar or anything like that, but just to see how other people would interpret something we created.

Another +1 for the "photo is your muse" idea. I love Rockstar, but I'm at a point where I'd much rather be working on original tracks if possible.

What is photo is your muse?

Cmdr. Shepard posted:What is photo is your muse? He'd post a photograph, and you'd have to write an original piece no longer than 2 minutes long inspired by the photo. The deadline was one week. The thing lasted for three iterations: - Week one, I think about 14 people joined. - Week two, maybe 4 or 5? - Week three, only 2 people submitted and one of them was deleted by SoundCloud for using uncleared samples. Even though it petered out really fast, I enjoyed and participated in each one. The same OP posted each inspiration photo, and there was never an official poll-type voting thread. I think the disorganization played a role in the thing dying so fast. EDIT: Found the soundcloud playlist for the first one, couldn't locate the other two. https://soundcloud.com/wernotron/sets/photo-is-your-muse

I enjoy Photo is Your Muse and think it's a great idea, but I didn't contribute to the last two because I personally didn't find the selected photo very inspiring (sorry Thoogsby). If someone were to try to do those threads again, I think it'd be helpful to 1) select a couple different images and 2) include some paintings/drawings/collages/non-photos. Personally, I get a lot more inspiration out of an abstract or stylized painting than most photos, but that's probably just me. As it stood, there was only one photo, and so if you weren't into that photo then there was nothing to do.

I'm just going to assume the rest of you are dead and declare myself the winner even though I didn't enter anything.

Does that mean there's gonna be a new thread/theme? Because that's all I've been waiting for.

Yeah I was too busy when this started up and assumed it was over by now. Did we give up on this because of GBS? I need an excuse to do another cover.

Believe it or not I actually just started working on a submission for this thing.

I was just being silly. I was waiting for a new Rockstar to start up so I could think about submissions. I found this thread lying on the side of the road, so I decided to poke it with a stick.

And regarding the ideas above about contests involving originals: I've often thought it would be fun to do a thing for song parodies. Instead of picking a particular theme for the source song, pick a theme that the parody has to be about and let people pick whatever song they want. In other words something like "this time around, the theme is going to be FOOD" and people could do "You Cook Me All Night Long" or "Wish They All Could Be California Rolls", or something like that.

I like it. Either way, RockStar needs to pull a Phoenix metaphor here soon.

I have always thought doing parody songs would be a fun one too.

I really like your parody idea. Would be a cool way to refresh the Rockstar concept, which is awesome but clearly in a funk right now.

And with parodies, we could call it "MockStar"

Awesome. I'm going to be travelling for much of the next month so I can't shepherd a MockStar thread, but if someone else wants to fire one up I may be able to bash a song out.
