The original still gives me goosebumps with the power chords at the end.. this one gives me ... er .. meh
But then again, I bought the LP when it was first released...

I thought GNR did a pretty good straight face cover of Wichita Lineman the other night.

How was the show?

 

[DAA]

Really good. Better than I was expecting. Last time I saw them 30 years ago, warming up for Maiden, they sucked. This time really high production values, super tight, Axl was in good form, they were on stage for almost three hours.

It was a heckuva rock show and I have seen a lot of them. Even my kids thought it was great.

Not a cover, exactly? But holy shit.

Henk is an opera singer by trade, but Floor Jansen is the lead singer of Nightwish.

Circling back around to Leo Moracchioli that @TurboMinivan recommended on the first page.....his covers are entertaining usually, but I thought this recent one was pretty good! Better than the original in some ways. "Dance Monkey", originally by Tones and I.

But after listening to that, I happened to catch this one. It's a couple years old now, and is OK--better than the Weezer version maybe....Toto's "Africa" again. BUT!! Whether or not you like the cover, make sure to listen to it from about 4:00 thru the end. It's 2 1/2 minutes of really good instrumental jamming stuff. (not necessarily related to the main song)

I'd never stuck around to listen to that stuff after the cover. You're right, that's bitchin. Also I think I have a crush on Hannah now, check this one out:

His vocals are the only thing keeping that cover from kicking complete and total ass. I particularly like the timing changes and extra measures snuck in there quite perfectly. The end of that song is just awesome.

That Dance Monkey rendition just rocks. Those are some amazing guitarists.

 

[Kevin B.]

Jeez. I dunno what that thing he's doing with the tuning pegs is called, but it's nifty.

 

[I Lean]

I'm not sure either, but his thumbnail is gross.

The Dance Monkey cover is now on ITunes. I've been checking every day since I first heard the YouTube video.

Really interesting how this girl creates this song but if you can’t watch her make the song, skip to the end to hear her Folk styled Lizzo cover

The finished song starts at 11:35.

I'm always impressed with what a creative mind can do with today's technology.

The Lizzo cover reminded me of Pompalamoose. So many great covers from them:
