HAVE FUN!!!!!!

Sounds like a very Red Ant round, too bad he's not playing with us  :\'(

Here's a good starting point for a list of artists which fit the catagory of Hard Rock: http://www.rockonthenet.com/archive/2000/vh1hardrock.htm

TOPIC: Tales Of The Unexplained

GENRE: Hard Rock/Punk/Metal


Thank you! A genre I can recognise for once! And as for the topic...this'll be a very entertaining event!

Charles Dickens' classic story,
"A Christmas Carol", featuring ...

... The Ghost of Jacob Marley ...

... The Ghost of Christmas Past ...

... The Ghost of Christmas Present ...

... The Ghost of Christmas Future ...

... a classic tale of the unexplained if there ever was one ...

So let the story be retold as a parody of Deep Purple's "Smoke On The Water":

Scrooge Said "Bah, Humbug!"

Now the Beatles did some hard rocker numbers, particularly in their early days.  Are they allowable, Overlord Kristof? 

 

I have an idea! I'll parody "Give It Away" by Red Hot Chilli Peppers (who were on the list that Matthias gave) into a song about The Bermuda Triangle. The main chorus bit will be (instead of 'give it away, give it away, give it away now') 'where did they go, where did they go, where did they go now?'. Likey?

Nice idea, bob...can't wait to see the finished product

er, by which I mean, is "I Saw Her Standing There" passable as a hard rock number?  (and I can feel the ground shaking under my feet even as I type :-\\)

I thought of a great idea... I just need your permission Stuart since it's sort of a remake of your's.
I want to write "Full Graveyard Of The Deceased" to "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" about Horror Movie Cliches.
Since you did one about Action Movie cliches, I thought that this would be a perfect recreation of that....

As long as it's loud, loud, LOUD, I'll allow it, Stu.

Addendum to the last post: I PERSONALLY wouldn't consider early Beatles hard rock....Beatles hard rock for me would be Helter Skelter, Tomorrow Never Knows, Revolution etc. Having said that, unless you're submitting something like Yesterday, I', (as always) pretty flexible)

Go for it like the clappers, Matthias.  :) 

(How could I not relish the opportunity to be able to point proudly and say "I inspired that" ? 8) )

hmm, your kind and benevolent even-handedness is a cause for dismay, Kristof, so I shall trawl through Matthias's comprehensive list in search of heavy metallic inspiration
