January 13, 20214 yr Austinites might remember Gordie Johnson of Grady. A friend on another board posted this one from his older Canadian band Big Sugar.
January 13, 20214 yr And, if I were a bass player, I think I'd go Music Man first, and then that Yamaha BB300. Huge bang for the buck. P-Bass for far less.

That is fucking exquisite. It reminds me of being a kid again. This version is thick enough to make me feel like a fat kid. CHIEF
February 1, 20214 yr This is so bad it's funny, and I say this as a guy who has always thought Paul Stanley belonged in the discussion of "great rock singers". Holy smokes. Paul, stop.
February 13, 20214 yr Not sure if serious. I don't know the original, so it's hard to judge. Sounds like jazz to me. I had to look up the Aphex Twin track, which is far faster and obviously a drum machine, so what was the question?

You pointed out a crappy drummer, I thought I'd point out a great one- no smartassness or irony intended. It's a great jazz cover of an ambient classic.

February 14, 20214 yr Since the passing of Larry Flynt I got to thinking about the movie, then of Courtney Love, then of Curt Cobain, and how I was never a fan of Nirvana’s music. But the Charlie Hunter Trio did a good jazz rendition of Come As You Are back in 1995. It was Charlie’s second album and I don’t doubt that he chose to cover the song for commercial reasons, to gain exposure and reach a wider audience. But it’s a good cover. If you’re not familiar with Charlie, he plays an 8-string guitar that has 3 bass strings and he plays both bass and lead at the same time. So as you listen to the guitar player, remember that he’s also playing bass. He’s a very talented dude.
February 22, 20214 yr This is a great cover of one of my favorite Buffalo Springfield songs. Just as good as Neil Almost... Edited February 22, 20214 yr by EuroHorn
February 27, 20214 yr I absolutely love Gerry Rafferty. I love that song. I dig Lucius. I'd definitely say it's a "good" cover . . . . . . but they need to stop singing in unison. They aren't accurate enough to truly gel. Their harmonies are great, the choruses soar, but those verses have some hair-raising moments. /snob
February 28, 20214 yr John McLaughlin is a badass. I’ve seen him in concert a few times. I never saw Miles. But Miles turned me on to John.
February 28, 20214 yr I got to this one in time. Great song. Not a cover. Edited February 28, 20214 yr by WhatTheBuck
February 28, 20214 yr I'm pretty sure this is the worst cover ever, and that includes "Final Countdown". The "National" Anthem

I just know that when I'm out on the boat, rocking back and forth while staring up at the clouds on a hot CENTEX afternoon this is the kinda stuff that puts me into "drool phase". tip of the cap to Jordan Belfort
March 6, 20214 yr Holy crap, Brian Setzer sitting in with Dickey Betts in 1984 and just blazing on a Schecter Tele. I'm calling it a "cover" because the band isn't Brian's (and I didn't know where else to put it). Dickey sounds fantastic too. Scroll back for an Allman Bros original:
March 7, 20214 yr Brian May still wins the tone war. Loved how they all start grinning when it kicks into the big final jam.
March 8, 20214 yr I don't think there's one good thing I can say about Billy Sheehan, other than he has good technique. His tone sucks, his artistic choices suck, his politics suck, and he's a giant asshole. That said, I love Kotzen and Portnoy. Winery Dogs is a real good band.
March 10, 20214 yr Man, I miss two-stepping to these guys at the Spoke. Great version of a great tune --
March 11, 20214 yr I'll regret admitting this, but man I love this cover. Goddamn 1:55 mark and on is beyond "let 'em hang" territory -
March 11, 20214 yr I love the Tom Jones cover, but mostly because I think it may be Prince's best song, and I like hearing it in any context. (Yes, I know, all the "Dirty" and earlier fans will laugh at me.) It's such a massive hook.
March 12, 20214 yr I know, I know, it's Jimmy Buffet, but the guy really did a fantastic cover of this old Willis Alan Ramsey gem -

March 14, 20214 yr Listening to 80s channel on Sirius on my way to see if HEB was open this came on. Hadn't heard it in a long time. Probably top 5 all-time covers for me -- Edited March 14, 20214 yr by Cajun
