Ok, so I was a bit unimpressed with the original link for Plush. So I wasn't going to follow that link in the next post.
Then Steve started carrying on, so I thought, ok, maybe I should take a look.
The Blondie cover was great.
Maybe I should check out some more.
Bailed on the Bon Jovi, because I forgot I really dislike that song.
The Skid Row cover was good, but I kept thinking, she's good, but she just doesn't have enough bite to the vocal. No edge.
Not a knock, just a different kind of singer.
Almost wrote it off there.
But I already had the Kix cover lined up.
My god I was wrong. She definitely has an edge when she wants to.
That was great!

What the hell, I already have the Dokken cover on deck, lets check it out.
Good sign during the instrumental beginning. She headbangs just like me. Complete with the air guitar.
And the vocals did not disappoint!
I think I like them better than the original. (the vocals were always my biggest knock on Dokken.)
[well, that, and the fact that Lynch only sketches his solos when performing live]

That was really enjoyable.
Thanks for the link.

Damnit!
I have things to do, and now you two have be going down a rabbit hole.

Glad I did though.
Did either of you two check out this video

The girl does great covers of Amy Lee.

She does decent covers of Halestorm as well, though her voice has no where enough grit to nail it.

Very respectable covers.

The first link was really good too - her voice had the edge there.

I've been following these folks for about a year, and love pretty much every one of their covers - really talented - especially the male lead vocalist - Björn "Speed" Strid (from Soilwork).

Just heard about this - a perfect re-imagining of one of my fave "pop" songs from the 80's . . .

Very respectable covers.

VERY nicely done - more research on the horizon I think.

Just finished watching the new Zappa documentary. Very nice. Ended with my favorite song - Watermelon in Easter Hay.

Wow. Been a long time since I heard that song. Had to play it to remind myself about it.
Not really one of my favorites, even though Joe's Garage was my initiation to Zappa.
I was always more partial to Act I and leaned heavily on everything from side 1.

I was always more into Frank's lyrics as opposed to his long musical interludes.

Ahhhhhh . . . Friday nights are back - just The Treatment I was needing :hot: :hot: :hot: \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ :jam: :jam: :jam:

Been following these fellas for YEARS, and although they have just released a new album (more from that later!) - this (from 2 years ago) was our mood tonight!

UK rock/metal fekkin' RULES!

Bugger - why wait - it's too good not to share (part 1) . . .


It's like AC/DC (when they were good) morphed into Airbourne, then the genes from Airbourne, Def Leppard & Thunder got delicately folded in a bowl before adjusting the blender to "smoothie/frappé" and throwing the switch to high speed for 5 minutes.

Love these guys.

. . . research which was quite fruitful as it 'appens . . .

All sorts of talented, with an interesting backstory, not to mention the relationships (the guitarist/singer are married with a young Son).

TONS of their stuff is impressive, but this (so far) is my fave (from June 2020) . . .

Thanks for that. I was in just the right mood to listen to this.

25 Years ago I had the privilege to meet Mr. B.B. King when he came to entertain the troops overseas in Bosnia.

Love just about anything by him, but especially this song ... pretty good advice too ... :wink:
