Try this one:suprbowl--that was so bad it was good. I looked up Richard Cheese--found equally bad lounge versions of Stairway to Heaven, Bohemian Rhapsody.... Thanks for expanding my musical world.

He does a great "I like big butts" but couldn't find it on YouTube. Need to do a deeper search.Did you really say that?
Very smooth how you did touch that line while saying you wouldn't. ;DHe does a great "I like big butts" but couldn't find it on YouTube. Need to do a deeper search.Did you really say that?
I wouldn't touch that line with a 10", I mean a 10' pole. ;D
This kid just makes me want to take my guitars out into the backyard, pile them up, and then light them on fire.
Johnny Cash singing Hurt (http://youtu.be/3aF9AJm0RFc) from Nine Inch Nails.One just assumes the oldest generation thinks the next gen's music is crap. That its always the younger re-interpreting the older.
One thing I love about musicians is how so many of them don't believe in boundaries or categories. They listen to music entirely different than what they perform (or maybe it's only different on the surface). They respect musicians in other genres and other generations. It makes what they do so much richer. Some have musical backgrounds entirely different than what they perform--jazz musicians who started in classical music, rock singers who started in opera, etc. I love that my daughter is listening to Tony Bennett because he recorded with Amy Winehouse. Johnny Cash is a great example of all this. Some move from one style to another even though they risk alienating their fans....I remember when Bob Dylan went "electric", many of his hardcore fans thought that was one of the most sacrilegious things that any folk artist could do. The world will come to an ugly end.
Anyone remember Dread Zeppelin?Or Lez Zepplin, they are also very good, the girls can rock!

Here's one to stun the tourists. Willie K's "cover" of Nessun Dorma.Wow, Nessun Dorma--not what you'd expect. Nobody's going to sleep through that one.
Anything from Daryl's house is going to be awesome, some of the best music/vids out there.
BTW Warren, Zac Brown (your fav) is playing tonight in Paso, but I'm going tomorrow night to see Kid Rock,,,,,,,,, priorities.
Wow, Angie Vasquez is amazing. The other kids are damned good too. I imagine she's been scooped up quickly. Hope it doesn't doesn't screw her all up.
Yesterday.. and a nice little Pink Floyd cover.. :)

In the Heath Ledger movie, 10 Things I Hate about You, Letters to Cleo performed it on top (actually on top, not with special effects) of Stadium High School in Tacoma:

Holy crap dude I am late to the game. I have heard this version many times but had no idea this was The Dammed.
Wow, is Letters from Cleo still around? Kay Hanley was a cutie and could belt out a song, the rest of the group was also excellent in concert, sucked in the studio. It's got to be twenty years since I last heard them play.
Okay, so I'm driving in my van and that song comes on again, a song I've always liked but always had no idea what the hell it was about, as well as being totally unsure about some certain lyrics, and I know I'm not alone on that. Is he singing what I think he's singing?It's a car, not a douche, if that's what you're getting at. There are whole essays on those lyrics and what they mean if you google the song. They're pretty bizarre. "Smoke on the Water" is another with a whole story behind it.
Besides, it's a cover of a Bruce Springsteen that was on his first album, but this cover by Manfred Mann made it to #1 on the pop charts.
So here, now you'll know what the lyrics are, but I still have no idea if it's really supposed to be about anything.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlBifX0H3yg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlBifX0H3yg)
The only problem was that the actual last line was, "And laid him on the green". But people misunderstood, and ever since then people have wondered who Lady Mondegreen was. Don't ask me how I know all this.As I was reading the verse, "Ye highlands........" I was wondering.......how the heck does he know this. Pretty cool.
Not sure if anyone's heard of Bastille, but they're up and coming in the UK and I have ties with the drummer!

When I found that, I read thru the comments, which were quite hilarious, I found this one.Okay, so I'm driving in my van and that song comes on again, a song I've always liked but always had no idea what the hell it was about, as well as being totally unsure about some certain lyrics, and I know I'm not alone on that.

Also, Jimi Hendrix wasn't singing "Excuse me while I kiss this guy".
There's a word for those misheard lyrics--"mondegreens"--named after Lady Mondegreen, who didn't exist. She appeared in a 17th century ballad called "The Bonnie Earl o'Moray:
Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands,
Oh, where hae ye been?
They hae slain the Earl o'Moray,
and Lady Mondegreen.
The only problem was that the actual last line was, "And laid him on the green". But people misunderstood, and ever since then people have wondered who Lady Mondegreen was. Don't ask me how I know all this.
btw saw johnny winter, and edgar winter's white trash, along with bb and albert king--third to last fillmore east show--i was 12 or 13--went with my cousin--my parents flipped!That's one of the best in my book, hard to nail down a fav. Depends on "which way the wind blows".
"look ma (i'm only bleeding)" is prolly my favorite dylan song.
Hendrix All Along the Watch Tower.. come on.
I heard Mr. tambourine man done as elevator music, and it screwed me up for months. I kept hearing it. It was torture.Well, looking for some elevator music that would stick with us for months this is what I found.
Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies is too easy - - all they do is covers! ;D
jeff beck--blow by blow tour--academy of music--last i saw of jeff beck--a nice view! and listen too!
Wow! I actually listened to that a second time with my eyes closed! If she can't make money I don't know who will.I keep mine open every time. My wife has given me permission.
While we are at it.

A serious cover of a serious song, warning, don't watch if you are allergic to chicken skin.

"When Johnny Cash covers your song, it ain't your song anymore."
Mayer has been mentioned a few times here but is worth doing again. If your experience with John Mayer is his early 2000's top 40 bubble gum hits like "Your Body is a Wonderland" and you are not familiar with his more recent blues-based work, you are in for a treat. He is one of the best modern blues guitarists we have right now, outrageously talented guitarist.

John Mayer gets a bad rap for some past indiscretions and unappetizing pop songs.
But for those wiling to journey past the veil just a little bit the guy is an amazing artist.
I am a bit biased tho as he has helped to revitalize most of the surviving members of my favorite band of all time (the Grateful Dead) to present as Dead & Company.
Today I hop on Summer Tour with my friends: Fenway>Fenway>SPAC>Citifield>Camden
I will be forever grateful to one John Mayer who has set his ego aside, is learning from his elders and letting the music play the band!

I have been a Tom Petty fan for 4 decades...this cover of "I Won't Back Down" has taken on greater significance for my wifey and I, after being in attendance at the Route 91 music festival in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago as Jason Aldean was closing it out when the shooting started...and, then learning of the passing of TP as we were driving home...we're still processing...but, like others have said...music has the power to heal...
jeeze dog---glad you werent hit, and hope you arent too traumatized---wow
you and wifey've obviously had an enviable life, full of adventure, and that you are an archivist extraordinaire (and share) has been a pleasure for me
i was appreciating that your archivism includes music...before i read the text of your post
scary----that situation feels less distant knowing you were there

Hey Warren,
Were you in the crowd during the shooting?
SUP Sports,
That’s a remarkable story. So glad you and your wife made it out O.K.
Terrible, terrible, senseless act of cowardice.
There is a country western singer name Drake White who does a lot of cover songs from other artists, but he also writes his own music. This song below is one he wrote and it has great lyrics, a good melody and Drake's voice can "really bring it". You can feel the energy Drake himself puts into this song. I hope some of you like it. BTW, I love the sound of the base guitar in this song.

Can you rub your belly and pat your head the same time?
I'm pretty sure everyone has heard of the Dire Straits band. One of the songs they're best noted for was "Sultans of Swing". There is a little known band named, "The Pelicans" and below is their live cover song for Sultans of Swing. Hope you enjoy it.That was good! Only big difference is Knopfler never uses a pick. lol

For you Gorillaz fans out there, I know I'm not the only one.
My tastes in music are as far away from heavy metal as you can get, but I LOVE this cover of one of all time favorite songs:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0RV0kgdqJU
Teach your children hell.
That's just the name of the album. The band is Titlwheel from here in San Diego. The song covered is Believe by Cher.Teach your children hell.
Never heard that song before. Who was the original artist?
Hahahaha....Metal. This guy is unreal.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3iCRPnNa2I
I do love me some Metal. Though I always considered it the anthem of the "never going to get laid" guys. Probably why it's more or less dying out after one generation. Like the shakers. No reproduction.
Awesome... kids today ... ;D

Ruby Tuesday - great song. ' Cute girl - no voice.

That is so wild and brings back memories...back in 1985 I was in Perth, Western Australia and got a job as a doorman at a downtown hotel/ music venue, “ The Old Melbourne Hotel ( yes it was in Perth). The Royal Perth music festival was on and Sweet played at the club..” Fox on the Run” , “ Love is like Oxygen” and a few other cheesy songs I remember , but don’t think they did this cover. They should have.Yeah the did do some cheesy songs but truth is they were a pretty solid band with top notch musicianship. And they had some seriously rocking less cheesy songs. Set Me Free and Action just to name a couple. I was astonished the learn they covered My Generation on the British release of Desolation Boulevard.
Despite the big hair and ultra tight jeans ,they were really really nice guys...fond memories
I recommend the movie "Echo in the Canyon" to anyone that likes this flavor of CaliRock.

Just watched "Echo in the Canyon" on Fri nite, and I enjoyed it too.
Next on the list for that genre is ... "The Wrecking Crew"
Man, was that a quick 5 years! Today is the anniversary of my birth as a crappy guitar player. To celebrate, here is my suitably obnoxious go at Hey Joe (with a few throw-ins). Not a cover, cuz who would do that ? First a few passes through the basic rhythm and then a few runs through some lead. Brace your eardrums!!
