Darren69 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) @@Rob181 yes, heard that maybe six months ago when I got my first Disturbed album and thought, yes that's done really well.

Guest Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) Been avoiding this thread.......but here goes...in no particular order and not saying they're BETTER than the original, but still awesome. Megadeth - These Boots Johnny Cash - Hurt, Rusty Cage Rod Stewart - Handbags & Gladrags, First Cut Is The Deepest, Tambourine Man Pseudo Echo - Funky Town (oh come on, it's fun) Funkstar DeLuxe - Sun Is Shining (so cheesy yet so perfect for its genre and place in time) Anthrax - Got The Time Doctor And The Medics - Spirit In The Sky Revolting c0cks - Do Ya Think I'm Sexy Sator - Ring Ring (Video link as it may not be that well known outside of Scandinavia...but it rocks ) Good old straight-to-the-point, Ramones-wannabe, pub/festival punk-ish guitar rock. Hehe. And there's more. So many more. I love a good cover/remix version. The further from the original the better IMO. Unless it's Sarah Blaaaaahsko murdering "Flametrees" and recently "Life On Mars" as a Bowie tribute YMMV of course, and I'm sure it does. It usually does. My main man Rod Stewart always adds another level of heartache to his covers of ballads. *swoon* Edited March 28, 2016 by Dirty_vinylpusher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emesbee Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Am I the only one who reckons R y G have only one riff and that they play it in every bloody song they play ? After listening to most of their albums, I have come to the same conclusion. I found them very exciting to listen to when I first heard them, but now they have become too predictable, and rather boring to be honest. That is why I made my comment regarding their cover of Stairway to Heaven. While it ends up with the same percussive playing style as most of their recordings, the earlier part of it is rather more subtle and interpretive, and hints at the sort of thing they could do, if they wanted to. Perhaps their early, and continuing heavy metal influences are holding them back from expanding their musical repertoire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
