Haha. Great cover, but I am laughing because it does have over 400k views so I think a couple people have heard it. 😉💙

I do love this sitar cover of Black Hole Sun

I consider myself the cover queen, at least on this site, so if I haven't heard it, its new.

I was just teasing you. I hadn't heard that one either. 😊

Ugh, that's weird.
That one line "little old lady got mutilated late last night" always cracks me up. It just rolls off the tongue like a machine gun.

I thought they did a nice job

reply

[–] TrentnQuarantino (8413) a year ago

They did. As best as two girls can do on a song like that.
If it's shock value you're after, that was perfect. ;-)
Seriously, they did a great job, but for me I can't take it seriously as something I'd want to listen to again and again.

First, rock requires an electric guitar or it's not rock.

Second, that Garrett Borns guy needs some testosterone quick. He sounds and acts like a woman. That being said, great performance. He should put on a drag show.

Don't tell Little Richard you can't rock without a guitar; dude made ivory keys rock just fine.

reply

[–] OnanTheBarbarian (10334) a year ago

Okay, good point. But could a band like Metallica or Led Zeppelin do rock with a piano and no guitar?

reply

[–] Ace_Spade (9346) a year ago

They probably *could* but that wasn't their sound. But the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Queen, or guys like Elton John and Warren Zevon could rock hard without guitars if they wanted to. Songs like Werewolves of London and Saturday Night's All Right for Fighting have guitars in them, but if Elton or Warren had done it all via piano, I think it would've turned out just fine.

reply

[–] OnanTheBarbarian (10334) a year ago

Okay. It dawned on me. Lol. Depeche Mode and Kraftwerk did great rock with synthesizers.

Dire Straits such a good band. It made me go looking for a cover of theirs, found this.

Dire straits sultans of swing....it has such a cool guitar piece in it, instantly recognizable

reply

[–] TrentnQuarantino (8413) a year ago

Terrible, sounds like Knopfler has marbles in his mouth. He's just murdering that song, and it's legal cause he's a famous guy.

what about mumford and sons cover

[–] TrentnQuarantino (8413) a year ago

Recording is more than a little uneven. Covers to me are great. If the musicians were my friends or local groups in a pub, I can enjoy it and even sing right along. But I would not want to play the recording or buy it or listen to it again.

But I really only enjoy covers that bring something new and unique to a song that adds something to the original song.

Children of the Grave (Black Sabbath cover) - Randy Rhoads Tribute Album; mostly, the only people that have heard this live track are the people who own the album.

I don't like Black Sabbath but this seems pretty cool.

Charles Bradley performs soulful cover of Black Sabbath's 'Changes'

reply

[–] RoboReCop (2703) a year ago

'Changes', yes, I watched this one before and I have the same experience hearing it now. Bradley did such an amazing job, and his emotions are so present -- it's as if this was the original track [and that Black Sabbath's was the cover.]
