Discovered this video while searching for the female vocalist on Ft. Minor's song "Where'd you Go". Discovered that she's the voice in quite a few songs that I like.

Diddy's "Coming Home", Dr. Dre's "I Need a Doctor" as well as having co-written "Love the Way You Lie" by Eminem and Rihanna which is what my wife uses as a ringtone on her cell.

Thank you so much Tommy!! I have always been quite fond of Weezer. This is a nice clean cover.

I love the original version of this and spent a long time looking for it in the early 90's after I heard it in the movie The Lost Boys.

I'm glad he kept the background singers in this version.

I love both and think both are wonderful.

[Br!an]

Good videos!

I'm a Pearl Jam fan.

As for the Willie video...

Context is everything! I didn't know who the other guy singing with Willie was. From that perspective the video is very gay. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

I Googled the song and realized the other guy is Willie's son, Lukas. It's a father and son expressing their love for one another. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

I've just recently discovered this band and am really digging a lot of their stuff. This cover of The Clash's Straight to Hell is completely fucking badass in my book.
That hard, pounding drum (especially compared to the melody of the original song) gets me.

[St. Troy]

I think someone recently mentioned Motorhead's rendition of Sympathy For The Devil. I have nothing but admiration for Lemmy and the boys, but (in the bit I've heard) Lemmy just sounds like a really bad fit for the vocals, like he's uncomfortable with it, it's just not his style. And when he gets to the word "hope," he sounds (to me) like this:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9g9XeRMZM0

And since I mention bad fits for vocals, I present the worst fit of all time:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GePFWBBV06w

Maybe this won't seem that bad to some, but to me it's the most glaring mismatch of all time. Garth is great at what he does - what he does, but not this (at least this homemade video is kind of funny).

Something changed. Most videos used to play here. Some would say they were unavailable, but there would be a YouTube link. Now they won't play and there is no link.

I wonder if it is this site or YouTube that changed something.

[Br!an]

If you click on the video title it takes you to YouTube.

If it stays like this, we might as well just post the link instead of embedding the video.

Aerosmith has done some fantastic Beatles cover songs, their Version of i'm Down and Come Together are 2 of the best versions of that song ever

Speaking of Aerosmith, if you are inclined for heaver music. Testament covered Nobody's Fault. It's a good rendition!

It was Wham.

Technically, this is correct. But for some reason, Careless Whisper is widely regarded as GM's first solo single. It's a strange story to read about. But they did write it together and it was released on a Wham album. Something juicy for the biopic maybe...?

I have been aiming to ask: is Mr. Armstrong done with Green Day? Usually when you see such changes it spells the end.


Not done is my best guess - it's just because of the isolation.

[Jon]

I THOUGHT I heard him bill this way before all the virus stuff. Maybe not.

[Br!an]

March 23 email was the first I'd heard of it.

"Dear friends..
While we’ve all been in quarantine I’ve been reflecting on the things that matter the most in my life. Family, friends and of course music. I recorded a cover of Tommy James and the shondells “I think we’re alone now” in my bedroom.
I figure if we have to spend this time in isolation at least we can be alone together.
Love BJ"

[Jon]

Good to hear!
Thanx

I wasn't a Journey fan, but 13-year old me was thoroughly blown away by that video; I thought, "man, these guys are pros, they are the real deal."

Journey had so many MUCH better tunes.

She is an extremely rare contraalto, but also sings as a baritone and uses yodelling.

The posthumous release of Chris Cornell's No One Sings Like You Anymore is available digitally.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHxtP3eyX8s&list=OLAK5uy_kuX2i_WldbpfNNGOa2VdEXFFVpfmg33mE

Chris Cornell’s estate has surprise-released a new posthumous album of covers, No One Sings Like You Anymore.

Cornell recorded the album in 2016, playing all the instruments, while Brendan O’Brien produced and mixed it. The 10-song track list comprises songs by artists that inspired Cornell, and the record marks his last fully completed solo album before his death in 2017.

No One Sings Like You Anymore features renditions of songs like John Lennon’s “Watching the Wheels,” Harry Nilsson’s “Jump Into the Fire,” Electric Light Orchestra’s “Showdown,” Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” and Howard Tate’s “Get It While You Can,” which was popularized by Janis Joplin. It also includes Cornell’s rendition of Lorraine Ellison’s “Stay With Me Baby,” which was previously featured on the HBO series Vinyl, and a cover of Guns N’ Roses’ “Patience” that was released in July.

“This album is so special because it is a complete work of art that Chris created from start to finish,” Cornell’s widow, Vicky Cornell, said in a statement. “His choice of covers provides a personal look into his favorite artists and the songs that touched him. He couldn’t wait to release it. This moment is bittersweet because he should be here doing it himself, but it is with both heartache and joy that we share this special album. All of us could use his voice to help heal and lift us this year, especially during the holiday season. I am so proud of him and this stunning record, which to me illustrates why he will always be beloved, honored, and one the greatest voices of our time.”

While the album is available digitally today, December 11th, a vinyl version is available to pre-order and will be released March 19th.

Love the Johnny Cash cover, Jon. Here's one of my favorite drag queens and a gay Canadian country singer named Orville Peck covering Jackson by Johnny and June, see what you think....and yes, Orville wears that mask or some form of it always in public. I can't find a pic of what he looks like without it.
