Damn it, Pawnshop, you have made me a fan of Darkness. I am an unrepentant fool for melody and harmony.

Appreciate it. I'm not sure if you're missing the humor of the Darkness. I mean, I caught it right away.

Thinking about it, Patience is a good choice.

Actually, I use to do "Patience" all the time. Let me try and work that one up. The reason I haven't posted GnR covers here is because I don't sound like Axl Rose but I know the temptation to compare. I do it, too. But alright, I'll work on "Patience" if you'll have a little patience. Get it? Man, I'm too funny. Stop me...

I did a demo of "Shackler's Revenge", acapella, since I don't know the guitar chords and I'm still thinking about it. Again, I hesitate to do GnR covers here because I do not sound like Axl, not even close. I do what I can do and that's all there is.

Anyway, turned on by Darkness, here's another stab at trying to sound like Justin Hawkins doing "Long Way to the Top" by AC/DC, covered by yours truly.

I'm trying to record "Patience" and keep running out of battery juice. This may take a while.

ETA:

Still working on "Patience." All of my batteries are low so I did two demos, one for the low melody, one for the high melody. The high melody had a lot of crackles because I am singing so loud, I'm overdriving. I'm on pitch but it's overloading. I'm going to try and figure something else out. Have patience, rkgirl.

I also have a "Long Way" version where I don't try to sound like Hawkins.

I'm just not proud of the Shackler's Revenge bit. Granted, a capella can be hard to do but I feel my low range is a bit too rough and I did crunch a note on the high end, so I may redo that and see what I think about it.

To make matters worse, I was reviewing the high end of "Patience" and realized I was in the wrong key and I would just as soon record the whole thing right, the first time.

Well, I've got "Patience" done, even though the mic is overloaded and distorted and crackling like crazy. I'm tempted to put it up, anyway.
