Severus Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 I really do like The Band Perry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tje63_DA0Tc Not sure why a band with two guitarists and a bassist need a couple of guitarists playing backing.

gingerjon Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Not sure why a band with two guitarists and a bassist need a couple of guitarists playing backing. I think we can all think of situations where what appears to be a perfectly fine set-up can be made infinitely better by a reduction of two in the playing staff. Good observation.

Leeds Wire Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Not sure if I've posted this before, but here's a link to a fantastic, suprising range of cover versions. The AV Club website invited the public to nominate songs for bands to cover, then a load of bands were invited into the studio to choose which one they wanted to cover. Each time a song was performed it was crossed off the list. The project is now in its fourth season and all the covers are free to view and listen to. Some of the covers are brilliantly done and some are just bobbins, but they are all interesting. See what you think... here's 2012's tunes: http://www.avclub.com/features/av-undercover-2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerjon Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Anne Nightingale used to play that every week on her Sunday night show about 1984. If you can be arsed, there is also some excellent footage of their lead singer facing the PMRC panel and absolutely tearing their arguments to pieces. Dee Snyder v PMRC or similar. I saw the links, I'll have a look later. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Not a cover version (as far as I know) but just wait 'til you experience Leonard Nimoy singing 'The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins'. YouTube is your friend....
