frankie Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Ok, ok, is it lets pick on the Maiden fanboi day That Opeth cover is pretty cool though. Didn't know you were such a fanboi. Don't worry, I will pick on other bands later on, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Karsa, I saw John Fogerty play at Bluesfest last year, and I'll be seeing Status Quo there next year. Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsa Orlong Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I was at that performance too!!! It was awesome, wasn't it? We were there both nights - they only did that on the second night, so we got two completely different shows. Yeah! I went both nights, too, they were great shows Karsa, I saw John Fogerty play at Bluesfest last year, and I'll be seeing Status Quo there next year. Can't wait! Hey Kylie, I heard the original Quo line-up is touring next year - Alan Lancaster (the original bass player) has been living in Australia since he left the band in the 80s, I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that. I wonder if him living in Australia made it easier for the organisers to get them on board. I really only know one Status Quo album. Several years back I was converting a load of my Dad's vinyl albums to CD for him and one was Picturesque Matchstickable Messages from the Status Quo. From the opening chord I was hooked. I later tried listening to another one of their albums but was quite disappointed - I'm guessing it was one from the 80s or something, because I generally hate 80s music . Hopefully they'll stick to the awesome 60s stuff when they come out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsa Orlong Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Ok, ok, is it lets pick on the Maiden fanboi day That Opeth cover is pretty cool though. I'm a Maiden fan too, Brian, don't worry Going back to Dream Theater, on the tour prior to the one above I saw them play the whole of The Number of the Beast at the Astoria in London - here's their version of (my favourite Maiden song) - it's pretty damn good, too, but not as good as the real thing This is easily my favourite cover version of any Rush song, and I say that with the original being one of my all-time favourite songs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, basically with Quo, anything before 1979 is decent, anything after that is utter tosh Hopefully they'll stick to the awesome 60s stuff when they come out here. I think, with Lancaster back for this tour, they'll probably play a lot of 70s stuff, although he was around for a couple of the 80s albums Doubt that they'd go as far back as Pictures of Matchstick Men, though . . .

Kylie Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Aw Well, I'll look into all their 70s stuff so I can be prepared, and I'll cross my fingers that they don't do anything from the 80s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 The thing I don't like about a lot of cover versions is when people copying other people's work don't put their own stamp on it. Yes, Westlife, I'm looking at you... I love, love, love Pink Floyd, and Comfortably Numb is such a song of awesomeness... But at least the Scissor Sisters made it their own when they covered it.

Brian. Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I got turned onto this by someone at work and I think that it's fantastic. Some of the slang and accent stuff might be a little lost on those not from the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emelee Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Korn - Word up! (originally Cameo)Metallica - Whiskey in the jar (originally irish folk) Nightwish - Over the hills and far away (originally Gary Moore) Rod Stewart - I don't want to talk about it (originally Crazy horse) Freddie Mercury - The great pretender (originally The Platters) And I rediscovered this wonderful song recently.
