Fuzz Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 We're giving away a limited edition 'American Idiot' vinyl by doing a cover contest. Between now and March 15th record an cover of American Idiot and send it in. GDC will pick the top 10 entries, which will then go up on GDA to vote for the winner. More details can be found over at GDA.
Steven Seagull Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Contest for me lol Oh wait it's American Idiot
GenXIdiot Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Does this cover have to be a solo, or can the entrant arrange and perform on the cover and have guest artists (e.g.) family members perform as well?

ozoneplayer Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Hey, here's a funny idea, why not cover She's A Rebel, but add a brutally heavy breakdown right in the middle of it... no one... ok then...

Joe. Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Surely everyone's favourite band 5sos's cover of AI has already won?
21guns&novacaine Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 I like the bit on GDA about publicly shaming theives. On a serious note, what would you guys advise using for uploading MP3's? Like soundcloud? And what devices would you use for the actual recording process?
localinsomniac Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 What's that about stealing other people's work? Has that happened before?

sara_gd Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 This is tempting!!! But so little time... Also trying to think about arrangements, the musical versions come to my mind and I can't ignore them plus we have the kerrang covers... its going to be hard to do something original! Good challenge haha.
