COMPETITION CLOSES NOVEMBER 1st 2011!
Blog entry about Invincible from me here. Thank you to @MJsinvincible1 for putting it up for me! http://mjsinvincible.wordpress.com/20...
Hey guys,
Here's my little contribution to the worldwide Michael Jackson fan effort to try and get Michael's seminal 2001 album 'Invincible' to number 1 in the month of October, 2011, in commemoration of the album's 10th anniversary.
I still remember being a keen 12-year-old and running to the record store when it was released, to pick up my special edition 'yellow' copy of the album, with a bright yellow cover. Little did I know that these were only limited, as I ended up using mine to the point where the CD was too scratched to play! I still have it somewhere, in fact.
Point is, this is a sentimental record to me, and one of the greatest musical achievements of our time, by one of the greatest artists to have ever lived.
It would mean a lot to me if you could help me spread the word, so that people can buy this album back to its deserved number 1 spot, this month. I've already done plenty of tweets myself, but I'm hoping to do more as the month progresses. To help encourage people, I thought I'd offer 10 CDs, with a signed slip from me, to the top ten people who spread the word about Michael's album the most.
Here's how to do it, in summary:
TWITTER: include BOTH the hashtag #MJInvincibleCampaign and @AdamLeeGuitar in your tweet (this so I can count how many times people tweet, since hashtag searches often remove duplicate tweets, so that I won't be able to fairly assess who has shared MJ's album the most). @AdamLeeGuitar cannot be the first thing in the tweet, otherwise it won't be public. Example tweet:
'Everyone buy Michael Jackson's Invincible album before November 1st, to get it to no. 1! #MJInvincibleCampaign @AdamLeeGuitar'
If you wish to share it on Facebook (although I recommend Twitter, as it's easier for me to keep track of what you do), you will first have to like my Facebook page, and tag that page in your status updates, so I can keep track of your sharing. My Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/AdamLeeGuitarist
I'm really looking forward to seeing how people get on, and how many people buy Michael's album!
As MJ would say himself - 'It's all for love. L.O.V.E.'.
Invincible cover coming very soon, to celebrate its 10th anniversary!
Big thank you, guys! Please spread the word about this campaign, and hopefully we can achieve our goal!
God bless you all,
Adam

This is a Tribute.
Dedicated to just a few of the bands that had such an incredibly big effect and influence on my love for music and drumming. For the record, the first song I EVER played on a drumkit, was Sweetness from Jimmy Eat World, way back middle 2002.
(The video was initially removed because LINKIN PARK - FAINT was tagged due to copyright constraints. I got it back up after disputing the copyright claim, as this cover renders the original song useless for third-part copying.)
This Tribute is a compliation of (sometimes only pieces of) the following songs:
Jimmy Eat World - Sweetness
Blink-182 - Anthem Pt. II
Blink-182 - First Date
Box Car Racer - There Is
Blink-182 - I Miss You
Biffy Clyro - 57
Linkin Park - Faint
Dream Theatre - New Millennium
Dream Theatre - Fatal Tragedy
Liquid Tension Experiment - Universal Mind
Dream Theater - Octavarium
The set follows my drumming journey from pop-punk to the more complicated and heavier stuff. I remember thinking I would NEVER be able to play the 3/8 variation in New Millennium, so it was SO much fun to out in this compilation, and to be forced to learn to play it.
I have to emphasize, I know saying I "cover" these songs is wrong, seeing as I only PARTLY stayed true to the song's drums (or lack thereof), through the WHOLE set I play some variations of the beats, phrasing and fills, since 99% of what I play is improvised. Even though I have done my fair share of session and studio drumming, that has little to zero effect on these video's, I kind of see them as live performances. I'm NOT aiming to be accurate to the original drums, I'm just aiming to enjoy myself. And I thoroughly succeeded in doing that, might I add :)
