Red Mosquito Battle of Pearl Jam Covers

There are a lot of people on this board with some crazy musical talent. So I thought it might be fun to do a RM battle of the bands with Pearl Jam covers. The exact format of this will depend on the number of people interested in participating. What I’m picturing right now is something similar to a March Madness style tournament where every day people are asked to listen to two songs (through rapidshare or something like that) and vote on the one they like best, with winners advancing. If there are not a lot of participants we can do it more like a league where people go up against each other multiple times

So requirements for entry
1. You have to be able to record and post your music
2. You have to be able to cover multiple Pearl Jam songs (songs that PJ covers count here)
3. Solo or group is fine (I'm assuming there will be more solo covers)
4. Willingness to subject yourself to public scrutiny

I’m going to police this thread pretty carefully once the actual tournament starts. Be constructive when commenting on people's performances. If you don’t like something fine, and if you think it sucks that’s fine, but be mature with your comments. If you’re a dick you will be warned, and if you’re a dick multiple times you may be going on a small vacation.

So if you like this idea and are interested in participating just say so. We’ll start this in about two weeks.

for this round I think so. This is a PJ site. if people are really into it we can always do another one later. Other songs PJ's covered (throw your arms around me, free world, etc) are fine.

I just ordered about $600 worth of new equipment, so I might break it in by recording something for this, if it arrives soon enough.
