MoeFOH's Musician/Band/Song of the Day

[MoeFOH]

Just a thread I'm going to add to daily (or thereabouts ) with something from my collection, playlist or some sort of blast from the past etc... feel free to jump in and add to it, comment, whatnot... with whatever's doing it for you at the moment - all welcome! 

 

[MoeFOH]

Been really digging ol' Warren (is that the least marketable name for a musician? 🤔) Zevon of late... Werewolves just such a great song, but so many others, too, of course...

Funny name maybe, but his hair perfect - aaaaah oooooh

Send Lawyers Guns and Money!

I read his memoir. What a crazy story. He stepped on some toes along the way. In the end he cut an album on his deathbed.

Went home with a waitress, the way I always do...How was I to know she was with the Russians to?

Best cover song ever? I can't think of another song where the artist took it somewhere else and improved upon the original so much. Regardless of that conversation, killer Hendrix. 

 

[Puros Y Vino]

Diamonds and Rust. Originally by Joan Baez but made epic by Judas Priests.

it was pretty good to begin with, especially the budokan version. but the Hendrix version was not bad. 

not sure if it counts - can you do a cover of your own song? - but for me, springsteen's live version from Dublin of Blinded by the Light was the best cover version of any song, even if it was his song. so different that for me, it counts. springsteen's version of jimmy cliff's Trapped is another. cliff is just too bright and breezy for me. bruce has transformed it into a song of such depth and so different. 

as for the rest, huge fan of Zevon. had tickets for him for a concert on the coast which he tragically missed because he passed on. 

love diamonds and rust. had not realised anyone but baez had done it.

Gotta love Hendrix!

When I think of the best cover song ever, I also think of Nirvana's 'The Man Who Sold The World', maybe their best performance.

I really like 'One' by Johnny Cash too, far more than the original tbh...

All Along the Watchtower is indeed the best cover version of a song recorded. No-one even knows Bob Dylan's original version anymore (except die-hard Dylan fans).

Well I learnt it here and until then i thought 'The Man Who Sold The World' had no contender tbh 🤣🤣😂 

Both are genius' covers to me 👍

Great contender, too. Cobain's vocals - insane. And he didn't screw it up on guitar either. 

[MoeFOH]

Little bit of Chili Peppers wiith Slow Cheetah... I'm not the biggest fan, by any stretch, but occasionally I fixate on something of theirs... and I can't get this song out of my head at the moment. Very hypnotic. Great guitar track, too. 

 

[MoeFOH]

Another artist I'm no huge fan of but I'm really digging this track when it crops up in the rotation...

The Top! For all of us ol' Sharp Dressed gents out there... 

Killer song. Classic ol clip, too. 

 

[loose_axle]

Ahh man, love ZZ top! You're doing great this week 👌

 

[joeypots]

The stuff that pops up on Youtube! Lost gems. 

 

[MoeFOH]

Classic. Always makes you want to pick up the guitar. 

 

[MoeFOH]

Macca live with one of the great guitar songs... and not too shabby all-time Beatles songs... 

 

[MoeFOH]

Some classic Stones for a Friday morning... 

 

[MoeFOH]

Great track among many from the legendary Zep II album... 

 

[MoeFOH]

Love Credence in general but the Fogerty vocal shred in this... brilliant!
