I still say we invade, annex, and then steal the women from our new 51st state. Canadian chicks are easy! :lol: (or atleast I hope so :tongue: )
Canadian chicks are easy..but they're all hairy legged lesbians....
Leave our women alone!!!
Back to the thread theme....
I have a great dload called "Stairway to Heaven" where Zack Wilde and Lou Gramm, Sebatian Bach and Slash all get together and cover some Zep tunes...very nice!
Uhmmmmm....hairy legged lesbians! :kiss:

Actually, Alex is one hell of a guitar player, and often featured in "Great Guitarist" lists. He's no Van Halen, Hendrix, Clapton, Beck, Page or SRV, but he does have an extreme command of his axe (refer to By-Tor and the Snowdog for awesome innovation on the Gibson). The problem is, he's overshadowed by arguably the greatest rhythm section on the planet. Perhaps Les Claypool is a better bassist...maybe no one plays the double bass pedal like Alex Van Halen...but Geddy and Neil are just so much better than nearly everyone else that they officially rank as LEGEND. Alex...although great...isn't legendary..and thus comes off looking like the week link. And then there was that side project "Victor" which was just a train wreck...didn't help his cred any. But, IMHO, Lifeson easily ranks in the top 30 guitarists ever. Geddy and Neil are obviously top 3 in thier respective disciplines.Quote:

I would love to hear that Zep cover CD that has Sebastain Bach and Zakk Wylde. Also Yngwie has played on a few tribute CDs. He has done one for Aerosmith where he played a killer version of Dream On with Ronnie James Dio on vocals. Another good one is Yngwie tems up with Ripper Owens (Former Judas Priest Vocalist) they covered Ozzys Mr. Crowley. The CD that he played that on is called Bat Head Soup a Tribute to Ozzy. Yngwie has also played on a couple of other tribute CDs including a tribute to Dio called Holy Dio and a Tribute to Deep Purple called Smoke on the Water I am not sure but I think he has also played on a Queen and a Van Halen Tribute CDs.
Just heard on the radio today a new band redoing the old Johnny Cash song Ring of Fire. I was very impressed with it. I have been a big Cash fan his music crossovers so many different genres. Also I went and check out With out a paddle a very good and funny movie. At the end credits it had a band redoing the old Ram Jam song Black Betty. Put a metal groove to it surprised to hear it since it was such an obscure song. In fact I was looking into my band covering that song would have been a cool song that was kind of an underground song. Oh well back to the drawing board. :cool:
Ronnie James DIO!!!!! Mr. Heaven and Hell! oooooo please share the MP3 on the ftp site please!!

I do not think I will be seeing any bands covering The Cure. Then again who knows someone might come up with a way to regroove The Cure. That could be both scary and interesting at the same time. For me though I perfer bands with Thundering Bass, Screaming Guitars and Heavy Hitting Drums. Something to really get caught up in the mosh with.
On the radio lately I have been hearing a lot of classics that are being covered by new artists. This first one was convered by a band called Social Distortion it was an old Johnny Cash song called Ring of Fire not to bad.
Another one that I heard and I was blown away it was really awesome by a band called Shinedown they did Simple Kind of Man by the Lynyrd Skynyrd band if you have the chance to check it out I think it is a great version done acoustically.
The next one I am not sure of the band but they did John Lennons Imagine and to me that is just one of those timeless songs a great song but this band did not capture it. Seems that all the kids are enjoying it though. Maybe it is just me lol :confused:.
Also I am not sure I found a version of Brickhouse with Rob Zombie and Lionel Richei doing the vocals. All I can say is very cool and to hear Rob and Lionel singing you would think it would be off sounding but it was really quite good.
I also wanted to throw in Korn covering Cameos Word Up that is really great and I am the first one to say that I am not a Korn fan but I think the fact that they could take a Disco tune and turn it into a Metal song is pretty good. I think I enjoy the newer version of the song compared to the old one.
Interested to see if any of you out there have heard these and what you thought of them.
