Members New Trail Posted November 14, 2016 Author Members Share Posted November 14, 2016 Been considering it. Are you? If so' date=' how has the response been?[/quote'] No, we're just now thinking about learning it. It's a great song, and our lead singer REALLY wants to learn it, but there's a lot of stuff going on in the song, for one, and I personally don't think its going to be the hit that Uptown Funk is. So I see it as a challenge that won't really work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members adrez Posted January 30, 2017 Members Share Posted January 30, 2017 Hi,first post.. I'm a keyboard player in a 5 peice rock/pop cover band. We've been practising 24k and will perform it for the first time in the next two weeks. There is certainly a lot going on, but I think we'll get the point across. We've got 3 1/2 vocalists so we should be getting most of the vocals in there. For keys I've programmed the 4 main syth chords and the two arpeggios into trigger pads which I "play" throughout the song. We're starting the song with the main arpeggio so our drummer gets the (initial) tempo correct (we're skipping the trippy intro and starting with "Players, put yo' pinky rings..."). The hardest part is the bridge where the timing gets funky, but we're working through it. I'll let you know how it goes . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members New Trail Posted February 2, 2017 Author Members Share Posted February 2, 2017 Thanks! We've played two gigs since we "learned" it, but we didn't play it at either. I think we should have, but they chickened out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mstreck Posted July 13, 2017 Members Share Posted July 13, 2017 Same here. I am you in our band. We start where you do and skip the second half of the bridge ("watch me break it down like") and just double the chorus and out. Makes it more danceable. The song is sonically weak without the arpeggios, sirens, and other effects, IMO, so I make sure to include them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
