Here are some original and speeded-up "Alvin & The Chipmunks"-style acoustic versions of classic tracks I've recorded in the past months. Yes, that is me on acoustic guitar and vocals. Don't laugh!  ::

Due to the need to constantly re-upload the tracks after they expire on sites like YouSendIt.com etc, I decided to put them all on a separate page over at PutFile.com for playing directly, and on the site of fellow Maiden poster, nicko2n, for downloading. Here are the addresses :

wow! Pretty good stuff! (I've only listened to the original versions though)
I really like it, very chilly. Keep it coming [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":)\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" /]
edit: Just listened to reach out, it gave me goosebumps! Mate, that's really good!

"Reach Out" made my eyes water [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":)\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" /]
Really nice work.
 
Thingfish's Acoustic Maiden Covers (new Track Added : 23/04/06)

Many thanks, guys, I'm glad you like them. [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/happy.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"^_^\" border=\"0\" alt=\"happy.gif\" /]
 
Thingfish's Acoustic Maiden Covers (new Track Added : 23/04/06)

Brilliant stuff, you've got a nice voice and Reach Out is brilliant!
 
Thingfish's Acoustic Maiden Covers (new Track Added : 23/04/06)

Personally, I prefer the version of Phantom Of The Opera to the others. Good effort [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":)\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" /]

They're all rather good. "Reach Out" is t3h b35t.

Thanks [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":D\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" /] Out of the Chipmunk versions, I think Can I Play With Madness flows the best, Phantom is a bit fast, but Reach Out is good. Out of the originals, I like Phantom the best simply because of the amount of work that goes into it!

I've begun the recording of Back In The Village as an acoustic version. Should be finished soon!

Your voice is so cheesy, it suits "Reach Out" perfectly [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/tongue.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":p\" border=\"0\" alt=\"tongue.gif\" /]
These are great but I think the PotO chipmunk version should come with a health warning... I nearly suffered a headbangiong induced heart attack.

I thought it was a bit fast to be a Chipmunk version, yes, still just works, though. Sounds vaguely Russian, too [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":)\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" /]

Hope you like my latest addition (see first post), an acoustic version of Back In The Village!

No more replies here? [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/sad.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":(\" border=\"0\" alt=\"sad.gif\" /] This board seems to be fairly slow.
 
Thingfish's Acoustic Maiden Covers (new Track Added : 23/04/06)

Sorry Thingfish

Your 'Back in the Village' sounds pretty killer [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":)\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" /] I didn't like 'Reach Out' as much as the others but 'Phantom Of The Opera' was also a killer. Great goin'!
 
Thingfish's Acoustic Maiden Covers (new Track Added : 23/04/06)

Great stuff there, Thingfish! I really like your rendition of Can I Play With Madness, and Reach Out is a real tear-jerker there!
 
Thingfish's Acoustic Maiden Covers (new Track Added : 23/04/06)

I decided to go for 'Still Life' as my latest recording. It should be up in the next day or so [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":D\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" /]
 
Thingfish's Acoustic Maiden Covers (new Track Added : 23/04/06)

I'm looking foreward to hearing Still Life, I thought that the supersonic Ides of March was extremely well done, good work.

Thanks, Hunlord [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":)\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" /] Still Life has been added for your delectation!

Strange World added...

Very good. You also update the other files so they don't get wiped from the yousendit server. I must say this is very well organised indeed [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":D\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" /]
 
Thingfish's Acoustic Maiden Covers (new Track Added : 23/04/06)

Extremely well done, all of the songs. I have to say I prefer the non-chipmonk songs myself, they sound great! [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":D\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" /]
