We’ve had TV talent shows and the YouTube orchestra but now wannabe rock musicians are getting a shot at fame by recording tracks with Motley Crue’s Tommy Lee, through a new crowdsourcing website.

The competition is being run by The Public Record, a site launched by record producer Scott Humphrey.

In what promises to be the first in a series of artists auditioning musicians via the web, The Public Record is making ‘raw’ Tommy Lee tracks available and encouraging the public to record and upload their own accompaniments – on anything from drums and bass to the kazoo, if anyone were so moved.

A number of tracks have already been made available. Unfortunately ‘Drunk Uncle Pete’ is no longer downloadable but interested musicians can still access ‘Louder’ and ‘Swallow Me’, at the time of writing.  Read the rest of this entry »
