Rex Dart Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Neat stuff! I've been a fan of VG covers/remixes since the 90s. I'll have to check yours out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanjoGuyOllie Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 yeah I know about ocremix, haven't posted on it though.As i understand it's more for remixes and not so much for acoustic covers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 yeah I know about ocremix, haven't posted on it though. As i understand it's more for remixes and not so much for acoustic covers ? Yup, they do remixes... not so much covers. Though there are actually quite a few VG cover bands here in my town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gredler Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Liked and subscribed man, thanks for sharing here! Very well done man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPA5 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Okay, first of all yes. Secondly, yes. Freaking yes. These sound great, video game covers are among my favorites, especially when done in a style that you don't hear often! I love it, looks like I have some new music to listen to at work. And I gotta say, your avatar is just too badass. That is the hardest I have ever seen a banjo rocked. Subscribed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanjoGuyOllie Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 haha. yeah there's a story behind that picture too. involving a kitchen table, a monkey and a plane crash... maybe I'll tell the story one day... maybe thanks for the feedback guys. just started these in march so I'm stoked to see people liking it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramses Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Good job! Yeah for ocremix, you'd have to include a solo and change the music up a bit more in order to get it posted. It's been a few years since I've submitted anything and I'd imagine it's more stringent now. Over time, you'll probably get more views/listens on youtube especially since you have a specific niche.
