Maybe we should just do away with pop stars...

You know, every football game I watch, every sung performance, every pop styled introduction, I regret hearing that song just a bit more.

Every time I hear a bad version like that it reminds me of the Maya Rudolph version from SNL.

I have a feeling slash may have been copying a certain Dr. Brian May, although I have no idea what year the Slash one is from. This was from 2002.

That's DOCTOR Brian May, to you.

And I'm pretty sure the man's earned his right to show off.

Damn, that's tasty...

So? He can show off. He's Old. and he was in Queen, but mostly because he's old.

Geek.....

Geek.....

I very well may be, but that doesn't make those licks any less delicious. It's like someone's pouring honey in my ears, and the foxy chicks who live in my head are just bathing topless in it...

I've been looking for it, and I can't find it anywhere. The best version I've ever seen was actually on my beach, standing about 20 feet from me. It was Dick Dale playing it on guitar for the opening of the X-games surfing event in Huntington Beach. Totally done surf guitar style, with a prowess that rivalled any of them. Getting goosebumps as I type this just remembering it.
