The Hip won't play NOIS...but my church will :) - SoylentGreg - 09-22-2005

As many of you know, i'm a guitarist. I play in my church's band on occasion, and along with the standard churchy songs and on-topic country songs (this is the South, after all), we play a random instrumental prelude about 5 minutes before each church service.

So tonight, after practising the songs, we're trying to figure out what to play for the prelude. This is what we're playing Sunday morning before church:

That's yours truly playing the intro/verse riff, also playing a REALLY bad version of the lead riffs about 2/3rds in. I'm also the one who "WHOO"s at the end in Gord-style.

This is going to make my month. Now I just have to learn the solo.

EDIT: Anybody know what's up with the BBCode? Or is it just mine that doesn't hyperlink properly?

Man that sounds great.

That's awesome Greg... and the Whoo at the end is very reminiscent of the "Can't Get Much Better Than That" from the original version...

Tasty jam, Greg. Nicely done. :thumb:

If more churches played music like that more people would probably be in churches.

i was in the vernon area last week for my uncles wedding and his band played the reception with a stellar version of nois...they weren`t going to play it but i convinced them :lol:

They sure don't play music like that in any church I've ever been too!

- SoylentGreg - 09-24-2005

Man, if there are any Hip fans that go to my church, I ought to know Sunday, huh? 8) I wish I had a Hip shirt or hat or something I could wear...

I just thought this was great because it all came together in about 5 minutes, and i'm the only one who's ever heard the source song, much less knows who the Hip are.

Hope nobody figures it out and gets upset, though, especially with this new hurricane set to devastate NO this weekend.

A little off topic, but SoylentGreg, are you a Something Awful goon?

I am protected. :mrgreen: What tipped you off?

SoylentGreg, or should I say Popular Human...

A Richmond, VA goon happened to correct me about some M@W trivia... I figured there aren't a whole lot of Virginians with that much Hip knowledge!

Bah, I should have asked you about stairs!

Ha, I even mentioned the yell at the end of NOIS in the post. Great stuff, nice to meet a fellow goon. Good to know we're both going to hell in the same boat.
