[DiGerry]

I read that Lemmy still livin' in a two room apartment, he's still cool.

Carlo

[rightonpard]

It probably has holes in it!

[kickingmule]

Ok, I'm in, BUT I don't play the Ukulele, but I get one and play a new song for you.

Music is the way to communicate, AND to win a wonderful t-shirt is for me a big challenge and I want/need one new *big smile*

[BaronK69]

It's not that hard - get one, you won't regret it. Looking forward to your entry!

[edhobson13]

holy diver will be sick

[BaronK69]

I'm hoping for some Dio - maybe you'll be first?

[edhobson13]

[walterpo12]

[BaronK69]

I'm sorry man, I'm a dedicated ukist nowadays.

[HerfJerf]

Cool, I need to get in on this. And thanks for the lovely comment earlier. I want me a Baron and spider-web tee-shirt!!!

[BaronK69]

Looking forward to your entry! May the awesomest rocker win!

[cflsurf]

I'm just learning the uke...any suggestions on some songs i can do???? Anyone???

[mctrmt]

Nice contest, Baron- I look forward to seeing the entries!

That's a pretty awesome t-shirt. You should wear one too.

[BaronK69]

Thanks Mary-Anne! I was going to wear mine to but Svante had just puked carrot puree all over it...

Hope you'll enter too! Don't you want to win your own Baron T-shirt?

[sdmfWVchapter]

I for sure could NOT judge this contest I like em all lol

[BaronK69]

Me too! To quote Ronnie James: It's gonna be heaven and hell!

[checkraisedbywolves]

Is this gonna be decided by a vote,or will The Baron be choosing the winner?

[BaronK69]

The lucky winner will be picked by me, and my verdict can not be overruled by anyone!

[UnluckyMum]

How cool ! Plenty of people going be 'stepping out of their comfort zone' for this im sure !!! :) \m/

[BaronK69]

How 'bout you mummy? You gonna step out of your comfort zone for a shot at the Baron shirt?

[BornAgainJeeper]

i know you don't have long hair...but are you wearing tight leather pants and we don't know...

[BaronK69]

I used to have really long hair, back in the days, but leather pants never really agreed with my soccer legs...

[monkeyswithladders]

Baron, This kind of goes without saying, but you're one of the coolest guys in the universe. I'm definitely giving this a go :D

[BaronK69]

Thanks man! Looking forward to your vid!

[jmmquah]

Ha Ha might have a go..as long as i don't have to wear the "tight leather pants" :-)

[BaronK69]

You don't have to, although it might contribute to your voice if they're tight enough....

[benmealer]

ooooooh yeah!

[BaronK69]

Damn right Ben! And you're so gonna enter it!

[benmealer]

i posted before i watched the whole video. a baron shirt AND a motorhead shirt. im all over this LIKE A RAINBOW IN THE DARK, YEeeeAHHHH!

[BaronK69]

Oh yeah! (do that song fast before someone else takes it!)

[mugambismonkey]

Robin, your Baron-Tee is just great! I'm so gonna participate!! What a great idea for a challenge!! Can I play my RISA electric uke, too (With heavy distortion of course...)?

[BaronK69]

You betcha! As long as it's a uke and the song is within the genre and era. Looking forward to your entry!

[russbuss415]

i'm all over this like vince neil on a cupcake. great idea for a contest Baron!

[BaronK69]

I've got high hopes for you Vince!

[GrumpyCoyoteTunes]

Oh my... Now you are singing my tune. The possibilities are endless... Hrm.

Gotta draw that line at BonJovi though...

[BaronK69]

I hoped you would like this. I know you'll do a killer job with it.

[bjornbakken]

Gleder meg noe så voldsomt, Baron! Håper at ikke det blir alt for mange Europe sanger (det har jeg nemlig tenkt!)--en svensk rock band passer jo best!

[BaronK69]

Jag ser fram emot din Europe-tolkning!

[TrowaRF]

If my lack of camera doesn't disqualify me, I might try something in a blues-ish style, for the lulz...

[BaronK69]

Go for it!

[sdmfWVchapter]

great idea bro, cant wait to watch all the entries

SDMF Noah

[BaronK69]

You need to get a uke Noah, and enter this contest!

[sdmfWVchapter]

im looking at a few different ones right now lol i got to have one

[BaronK69]

You won't regret it! But I must warn you - they're as addictive as smack!

[UKISOCIETY]

"Pretty as Deach"? Not possible!

I'm on it, Robin! Watch me rock! :P

[BaronK69]

Glad you're on it Alan - I know you can rock with the best of 'em!

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

How about the Stones (the greatest rock band in the known universe)? Do they count?

[BaronK69]

I'm afraid not, Ken. Beatles and Stones are disqualified. I really hope you will enter anyway. On the UU thread you can see a list of suggested bands, and a short list of bands that won't cut it. Please enter!

[fourteentwelve]

Awesome contest Baron! I've never played a rock song on the uke, so that seems as good enough reason as any to enter! Sounds fun!

[BaronK69]

Glad you're on it Michelle - I'm sure you'll be awesome!

[lisaxy424]

I am a bit frightened...but I think I'm going to participate!

...let me apologize ahead of time ;)

[BaronK69]

You gotta participate! I'm counting on it! And with your voice you really can't fail.

[learninguke]

I am all up in this! Responded with a videoanswer. :) Good luck everyone!

[BaronK69]

Great job you did too!

[learninguke]

Damn right! My first rock song. :D

[adellethegreat]

Ya know... I've never entered a contest aside from Bushman but.... a Baron shirt? Made me moist. I'm on this bandwagon ftw.

[BaronK69]

Yeah baby, yeah baby, yeah!

[eerteep]

...that didn't take long! lol.

cheers baron!

: )

p.

[ukeshale]

great competition, cool prize! can't wait to see some of the entries!

[BaronK69]

Can't wait to see yours!

[deach69]

Can I do a Milli Vailli song in heavy metal style? They wore tight leather pants and had long hair.

[BaronK69]

No you cannot! But you can do a heavy metal song Milli Vanilli style. I'm not sure that is a winning concept though.

[StubyStubyDoo]

I fear with that ironic suggestion that you may have created a monster!

[irvingjohn]

I see acousticmonster tearing this contest apart.

But I will do my worst, as usual!

Awesome contest... I love rock on ukulele!!!

[BaronK69]

Glad your on it John! I think we might hear some awesome uke covers here!
