Do you guys think they are good ideas for bands? Evergreen Terrace has done one, and I think their renditions of songs are awesome. I think the same of the band "Exhumed" which did a cover album written in "their style" and it was pretty boss. Lame or good?

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2003 Location: France | | I like listening songs i like, played by other artists. Especially tribute albums.
My fave are "butchering the beatles: a headbashing tribute". I'm not a beatles fan at all, but i must admit these songs are killer with a heavy rock treatment. Especially "back in the ussr" with Lemmy singing
About cover album, i've two cd i couldn't get away from: "Animals", my pink floyd favorite album, covered live by Les claypool and his frogs. And another spécial cd, made by a french guitarist named N'Guyen Lê, electric jazz guitarist; which made a Hendrix cover cd.
But at this point, it's hard to label it "cover", cause his versions of songs are really some amesome jazz/world/fusion tunes by itself.
This cd is called "Purple: celebrating Hendrix"
I highly invit you to have a listen. (you can catch it by amazon)  |
