Stupid Guest Tricks

Okay, I received enough interest to get this started so here it is.

First, the rules:
Each song will be worth a number of points based on several factors including how well known the song is, how long the section played is, and how well I played that section. To get full points you must provide the name of the song as well as the artist, if you exclude either piece of information you will only get half points that would normally be awarded. Some of the songs I play will be based off of a cover, in these cases, you can give me the name of the original artist or the band that did the cover. Two people can get points for each song, The first person to get it right will get full points and the second will get half the points, after that no more points will be available for that song. After someone posts a guess I will post a response telling you whether or not you were correct, and if you were the number of points you received. Feel free to post as many answers as you want, but please, wait until I give you feedback to post a second answer. Songs will only be open until the next song is posted, usually about one week. Most of all, this is just for fun and I don't want you to take this too seriously, so go ahead and use any resource you have available to you, including each other.

This first song should be pretty easy, though it was tough for me to put together. This song will be worth 8 points.

P.S. I recorded this song back in February of 2008, shortly after getting my guitar so the quality isn't the best.

Thanks Lasolimu. I know the tune but can't think of it right at the moment. :mad:

I am not sure. I am guessing it is a folk song?

I totally know it.....dang it.....know the band name, and can almost sing the song....oh got it, Metallica, Unforgiven.


Yes, I typed that while listening to it.

I recognized it as Metallica and had to guess before Ktulu got here.


:)

Now that we are slightly into this I realize some problems with my rules that worked the other place I did this, but won't work here, so I thought I should do a little update. If a mod would be willing, I would be grateful if the quoted section was placed over the first post of this thread and this post deleted deleted just to keep things coherent for people coming into the game late.

Feel free to post as many guesses as you want, but note that only your last guess will be taken, so don't try to spam as many guesses as you can. Songs will only be open until the next song is posted, usually about one week, at which time you will no longer be able to receive points for it, I will post the answer, give a permanent link to it and give information about the next song. Most of all, this is just for fun and I don't want you to take this too seriously, so go ahead and use any resource you have available to you.

To make it easy to find, the current song will always be located at:http://lasolimu.exofire.net/images/NTTCurrent.mp3

Go ahead and try it again, the file was renamed, but is fixed now.

Heh, I got that as The Unforgiven from MetallicA (track #4 on the Black Album, released 1991) right away. Written by Jaymz, Kirk and Lars.

Which is why I had knew I had to hurry up and post before you got here. :) I'm just slow at that kind of thing, I'll hear a song, know without doubt that I know it and even be able to hum along or sing along but not know the song. And suddenly, it'll hit me.
