Farley Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I agree, the White stripes are good, but Meg White needs drum lessons. Boom, chick, Boom, chick, Boom, chick. Thats as technical as it gets with her. If you have comcast On Demand, there is a White Stripes concert that is pretty good on the Concerts on Demand Channel. They play "Jolene".

Jacks a guitar god and Megs drumming suits him very well, making them a great 2 piece band. If you ever get the chance- go see them live- very, very good band live. I wish I had Comcast- I am stuck in a little town with a contracted cable company from Terrill, Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarrod32 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 The Who did a good live cover of "Summertime Blues" that I thought was great, until I heard the Rush cover of the same song...that was even better... Buddy Guy's cover of "Mustang Sally" is good... Also, a bit more obscure, a group called the Hindu Love Gods (made up of Warren Zevon and REM) did a great version of Prince's "Raspberry Beret". And even more obscure, Tinsley Ellis did a cover of the song "Just Dropped In" that is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I_Love_Nuge Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Has anyone ever heard of Richard Cheese. He does what he calls "lounge music" and has a band Richard Cheese and the Lounge Against the Machine. He does remakes of all kinds of songs like rock, metal, rap and puts a more softer and slower side to it. My favorite is his version of Down With the Sickness. Its too funny.For real remakes my favorites are definately the Garage Inc. album by Metallica. Also Shinedown's version of Simple Man is good.

zamboni Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 Richard Cheese used to be on the Kansas City morning show Johnny Dare all the time. His stuff is really good- but I have to admit, I really like lounge/swing music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shack Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Sorry, I was way out of the bag on that one. They may have done a live deal during an early eighties tour, but I think I was crossing Roy Orbason (Pretty Woman) and Van Halin. Sorry, my bad! Sorry if I miss spelled any names in this post...
