WillRock Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Indaba Music and Heavy Metal Band The Darkness have started a contest to find the best original guitar solo to their song (which incidentally has one of the scariest music videos i've EVER SEEN ) I have laid down a melodic guitar solo for this contest and have aspirations to do well, and potentially win! To vote all you have to do is: 1: Check out my submission: Everybody Have A Good Time Solo! 2: Click Vote! Thats it! No sign up required or any of that jazz! For the record, I only need to crack the top 10. The ultimate winner is chosen out of all the submissions (by the darkness themselves!) but there are 5 honourable mentions out of the the top 10 voted solos. I would be greatly appreciative to anyone who chooses to vote for my submission, and if you've enjoyed my music over the years here at OCR, I hope you'll consider it! Thanks for all your help guys, lets make this happen! Quote
Brandon Strader Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 Sweet solo! I'll vote when you review my album you said you'd review a couple years ago. Quote
DragonAvenger Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 I told him I wouldn't vote until he judged three tracks. Quote
Bahamut Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 I voted...and no, I did not ask for a project mix as a bribe . Quote
WillRock Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 I voted...and no, I did not ask for a project mix as a bribe . In b4 kylejcrb bribes with TMNT track. Cracked the top 20! Thanks very much guys, keep the votes (and bribes) rolling in! Quote

Dj Mokram Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 keep the bribes rolling in!Great solo Will. Tell you what: I'll throw in a vote if you resume directing the Bionic Commando project. You know, that thing linked in your sig that's been neglected for almost a year now. Quote
Frederic Petitpas Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Much better than the shitty solos that ranked 1st 2nd and 3rd in the list. I do not comprehend. Quote
Brandon Strader Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Eh I caved and voted for you even though you have literally nevah supported my music evah Quote
Jamphibious Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 I hath voted for this fine solo. Loved the harmonies you used, very fine stuff. Quote
Melbu Frahma Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Voted, and mentioned it to some of my Facebook musical friends. Quote
WillRock Posted September 6, 2012 Author Posted September 6, 2012 Eh I caved and voted for you even though you have literally nevah supported my music evah I bought said album that you want me to review, yet you never mention that whenever you mention the fact I didn't review it Quote
DaMonz Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Slick stuff! You got mah vote! Edit: first place is so... not musical o.o Quote
Dhsu Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Voted! Although I had to vote for that Matias guy too because his fits pretty much perfectly. Quote
WillRock Posted September 6, 2012 Author Posted September 6, 2012 Edit: first place is so... not musical o.o All down to taste bro. There is a criteria to hit with this compo for the judges after the voting takes place tho, you get marked out of 25 each for musicality, originality, creativity etc... I tried to hit all those points while trying to make something that fit with the song. Quote
SonicThHedgog Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 I like it! I just wish you added more pinch harmonics Voted WillRock! Quote
Frederic Petitpas Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Prices; 750$ is cool but an epihone is meh. Quote
Brandon Strader Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Yeah man if it was $750 and a top model PRS I'd be all over this thang Quote
Eino Keskitalo Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Very apt solo for The Darkness! There was a note at 0:21 that seemed to not fit in though. --Eino Quote
Damashii!! Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 ha ha ha ha haaa.... the first place guy's ending literally made me laugh out loud. I'm not hating, it's just sounds funny. +1 voted for ya'. good luck! Quote
WillRock Posted September 12, 2012 Author Posted September 12, 2012 Thanks for all the votes so far guys! Voting ends on the 18th, so keep the votes coming in! Quote
Guifrog Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Just voted Not an expert on guitar solos, but I know this fits pretty well, and it's amazing etc etc. Quote
