tdhoosier Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 This week's theme in my music league is covers. Thought I'd share my favorite one: A cover of "All Night Long" that goes in and out of twangy steel pedal and psychedelic. It's a slow burner that takes a while to get going but holy smokes. ....my submission was The Jackson 5 cover of Who's Lovin' You (if anybody is interested)... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've seen Sammy 4 times now. Once with Van Halen and 3 times without, although Michael Anthony was playing bass with him each time. Saw Aerosmith once with Motley Crue on a cold October day in Chicago about 14-15 years back. Good times! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 Just heard this one on my way home from the grocery. Given Will's recent 'Oscar Moment', if you can clear your mind that he's giving this advice to his son and imagine he's talking to random people, there are some laugh out loud lyrics in the song.

Story of my life....better late than never, but here's a few of my favorite cover artists: One of the only worthwhile things to come out of Lexington, KY. Their covers are mostly true to the original. Phenomenal guitar performance on the outro of this one.... And one more, although this guy is more interpretive. He does a great job of converting non-metal songs into "metal inspired" renditions: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious thing as I was trying to find out more about them Even though they only seem to have been around 3-4 years it seems they already have at least 3 songs that have been covered by other recorded Blues artists!

Lostin76 Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 Wife has been on a Beatles kick since we watched the Get Back documentary. I’ve always liked them, but was never a super fan. Definitely have a new appreciation for them since watching. LONG documentary, but still well worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Album just blows me away every time I listen to it...even at the apex of their dysfunction, they produced one of the definitive albums in rock history... And I could listen to "The Medley" from "Abbey Road" for hours... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I like pretty much everything else on that album. The dysfunction during the documentary was intense, but like you said, they still just created such gorgeous music. In Get Back, when Paul is just noodling on the guitar alone trying to work out a tune and you realize you are watching him stumble onto the iconic Get Back riffs, it just made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Oh, and George is my favorite Beatle. Always has been and still is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may give that a watch, because I'm somewhat similar.

Like /8really* well done - they were planning a movie of the making of the album apparently. And the finale shot the roof of Abbey Studios is phenomenal. I actually hadn’t really read much about that before and didn’t realize the police were involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostin76 Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 We saw Lorde at Radio City Music Hall last night. She is a great performer, but man it was like 98% teenage girls singing along with EVERY word of EVERY song. And then me, the grumpy old man in the mezzanine seated the whole time. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know who she was but know and like that Royals song. To me its making fun of society and culture. Maybe I'm wrong but i like it.

We went and saw Bon Jovi here in Indy last night. I know Father Time is undefeated and it takes a toll on guys voices but I don't care one bit. They played some new stuff which was good for me to get beers....but all the classics just sounded awesome as always. Concert season is on full tilt this Spring and Summer. Making up for lost $ with Covid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, we were the olds at this one for sure. The girls behind us were dancing so hard that you could feel the whole mezzanine shaking. BUT, they were having a ton of fun, which is what’s important. 32 minutes ago, Seeking6 said: We went and saw Bon Jovi here in Indy last night.

Making up for lost $ with Covid. I’ve become pretty picky about venues. Don’t love to stand behind a sea of cellphones in the air, so there are only a few local places I’ll go to anymore. I would have used the new songs (Bon Jovi has new songs?) to get a beer or some merch too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
