Official X Factor Audition Thread for Mark Alexander's spot in NLE

Seriously what's happening with the band and any replacements for Mark and Kas seeing as the tour is approaching in less than 3 months?

However if Meat is still taking auditions.., here's my quick effort:

On a slightly related note, I noticed that your rendition sounds similar to the album version. The intro when Meat does it live sounds slightly different. Is it too difficult to play live or is there another reason?

Very nice, I like that.

I do struggle a bit with the opening, trying to have the appergio going in the right hand and controlling the bass note timings correctly with the left. I noticed that Mark didn't always bother playing the bass notes (MTV/Bat 2 picture live show springs to mind) as he has the band backing him anyway. Those Steinman intros are tricky, with Bat a lot harder imo. I wish I could play Pray Lewd. Would take ages to practice I think.

True! :) Live it's usually in C Major and on the album in D.
