For years, I resisted Metallica, thinking they would be just another screaming, two chord metal band. When I finally relented, I was surprised at what I heard. They do some pretty good stuff!

Here, they do an interesting cover of my favorite Bob Seger song: (maybe NSFW)

I believe this is put together on a PC, but its pretty sweet.

Lavender's Blue (Dilly, Dilly) lyrics have been around for at least 350 years as a children's rhyme.
It's been recorded as a song since the 40's and more recently in the 2015 movie "Cinderella".
But this is the version I remember by Sammy Turner in the late 50's:

WOW!



How have I not seen this before?

Sounds good, I think a lot of Queen stuff seemed almost written for orchestra.

Candlelight Red's cover of Roxette's She's Got the Look.


My Darkest Day's cover of Duran Duran's Come Undone.


Red's cover of Duran Duran's Ordinary World.

Always liked Toad The Wet Sprocket.

Another cool cover of it. Though they arent changed much. The voices are cool.

I checked out some of his other videos, and I'm digging the remake he did of Toto's Africa.

I like Aerosmith, but... YOWZA!



Oh, and here's the original:

Morgan James is absolutely stunning! Without a doubt, she has one of the most amazing voices of our time, and she is a knockout!

Wish she had used a quality mic. I dig the version.

I didn't realize that "All Along the Watchtower" was originally written by Bob Dylan. I've been listening to the Jimi Hendrix version for decades now. I guess you learn something every day.





Bob Dylan is a genius songwriter, but IMO he can't sing worth a crap. So as a result, just about every cover of his songs ends up sounding better than the original.

Anything Local H has touched...

While mash ups are technically going beyond, versions or cover songs, its still a live recorded altered version.
Thought this was interesting. Even with the accent.
