    Bands Regrooving the 70s and 80s

    I wanted to see what all of you thought of all these new comming bands lately rehashing 70s and 80s tunes. I have to admit that I am enjoying hearing some of my favorite songs that I used to listen to back in the day when I was a little head banger . The other day I heard that Korn was doing Word Up after a lot of searching I was able to find it. It has a pretty good groove going on with it not a bad cover. Also Rob Zombie and Lionel Richie hooked up to do Brick House it is a pretty wild rendition of it as well. Not sure if there are any videos for any of those songs. Would love to see it if they did do videos. I know Rob Zombies stuff and I bet it would be pretty wild.

    The sound is all about the wood and the pickups. Bartolini all the time...

    CD Great Band here!

    It was only due to poor management that these guys didn't make it to Superstardom, they "ROCKED!" I literally wore out their Album "Line of Your Fire" on cassette.



    Duke Jupiter

    The band is from Rochester, NY. A few years ago I found a few of their albums in mint condition on Ebay; never regretted buying them.

    I really enjoy 311's cover for The Cure's "Love Song". I have always disliked the original since it always seems to induce feelings of sadness rather than happiness. 311's version, on the other hand, has a bit more "life" added into it; which in effect makes it a lot more easier to listen to.

    how about old groups covering old songs? The new Rush CD is very interesting...some awesome bits...some not so awesome bits...all in all I give it a 7 (and I'm a HUGE Rush fan..so the score might be a bit jaded). Try Mr. Soul on if you feel like dling a cool cover.

    Best cover album ever: Pat Boone "In a Metal Mood". A must have for any music afficianado.

    Richie!! Buddy!!! The Cure's 'Love Song' is SUPPOSED to be sad!! Love is a horrible feeling...if you are a Goth. You need take a look and get a better understanding of the whole Goth scene. I strongly recommend Bahaus, Cure, and Type O Negative for a crash coarse. Try some Joy Division (the precursor to New Order) for dessert.

    BTW...opening up a music thread with me is like opening up a discussion on Kerry and the New World Order with Palooka...something I'm bound to just go way overboard on... I am a pop culture (music only) freak.

    It's a horrible feeling when the crap hits the fan. It's even worser when you still love them but can't be with them because they've done bad things to you. That's life, I guess. Right?


    Thanks for the recommedations, Punisher. I really enjoy listening to New Order so I look forward to hearing some of Joy Division's songs.

    Ozzy and D. Zappa remade "Stayin Alive" a while back and it was an awesome remake. I still giggle when I hear it today.

    Of course Alien Ant Farm's cover of Smooth Criminal is cool also.

    I am a big Rush fan and I have yet to check out Rushs new CD. It is a growing trend of bands doing covers and releasing them as hit singles. If I remember correctly Alien Ant Farm received a lot of attention for covering a Michael Jackson song. I have a version of Ozzy covering a BeeGees song called Stayin Alive. Pretty funny to hear Ozzy covering disco song. The song was slated to be on Ozzy's Down to Earth CD. But Ozzy decided not to put the song on the CD, but through channels on the internet the song has become an underground hit. Good old Ozzy, even he can do covers.

    The sound is all about the wood and the pickups. Bartolini all the time...

    Getty Lee from Rush is the only rockstar who could not get laid! Rush was my first band I ever really listen to and the ONLY good thing to come from Canada besides ladies trampolines. (J/K Purch) Phish has done great covers including Edgar Winters Frankinstein, Rolling Stones Loving Cup, Frank Zappa's Peaches N Regila, and many more! ALL worth listening to.

    Good old Geddy Lee. He sure is a heck of a musician. Now that I think of it I do not think I have seen any groupies at a Rush concert. Not sure what kind of groupies they could attract at that. Actually that whole band is filled with amazing musicians. I know that a lot of drummers are heavily influenced by Neal Peart. Not to sure about Alex he is an interesting memeber of the band at that. I think the most notable people in the band are Geddy and Neal.

    I think I know of another good thing that came from Canada Camel. Terrance and Phillip are from there and they are the heros of those little kids from good old South Park. Also I think that Shania Twain is from Canada and boy is she quite a dish could use more looking like her comming out from there. Not to familiar with Shania's music but what a wonderful sight to look at . I am more familiar with her husband Mutt's work than hers.
