Crazy Cover Songs...

Waaaay back I knew someone that would take as many covers of a song as he could find and mix them all together. Some of the results were amazing. I think I still have a tape of Blowin' in the Wind he did, If I can find it I'll post it.

These guys from Quebec are quite entertaining.

Sarah Blasko did an incredible version of Hey Ya! by OutKast. Almost better than the original. That voice... damn.

+1. Truly amazing. Lovely voice, and she got to the heart of the song.

And there goes an hour+ of my evening. Nice site!

Ugh, I saw them open for Kamelot at the Mod Club back in September. That's 30 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

I saw them headline at The Music Hall here in London, they put on a good show.

Also, Children of Bodom - Oops, I Did It Again:

Haha, it doesn't surprise that Bodom has a cover of a Britney Spears song.

As for Alestorm, I'm just not a fan of what they do. Metal music has a poor enough image as it without bands like Alestorm doing their best to act like clowns.

I saw Symphony X and Iced Earth a couple weeks ago at the Phoenix. That show kicked a lot of ass.

I also like Japan's cover of All Tomorrow's Parties. As much as I like the original, they made something totally different and nice out of it too.

Of course seeing the youtube post with that hairdoo...Looks like my brew kettle boiling over (just to bring this back around to a BT topic)
