Another amazing remake. I'd never really listened deeply to the lyrics of either of these songs until these came out.

RIP Myles...he passed away earlier this week.  A Canadian legend.

Loved that interview, NC.

 

I've been a big fan for over 40 years.  One of my fav's:

If you Spotify then you're familiar with each Mondays "Discover Weekly".  A collection of songs of similar genre including many (most?) you've never heard.  I've discovered many new songs that eventually ended up in one of my existing Spotify lists.

 

Here's an example from today:

 

 

But wait, there's more...

While traveling across state today, I also came across this song in my Spotify Discover Weekly and immediately noticed it was from a Halloween music album.  Well, this ought to be different... and I was Spot-on.

 

Before you listen, I found this on Wiki about it:

"The motivation for writing this song was explained in 2005 by guitarist Lee Pickens. “When I was 17, I wanted to be an airline pilot,” Pickens said. “I had just gotten out of this airplane with a friend of mine, at this little airport, and I watched him take off. He went about 200 feet in the air, rolled and crashed.” The band decided to write a song around the incident and include it on their second album."

Well, if that doesn't give you nightmares, this WILL:

Time for another cover.  Black Sabbath covered by Anthrax. 

 

I really like this one   🤘

 

 

 

[NRJyzr]

Another cover.  This is Disturbed doing Sound of Silence

 

It's not a "metalized version," they do it pretty straight....

 

 

[NRJyzr]

Another cover tune....   Volbeat doing Dusty Springfield    🤘

I’m sure it’s been dropped here already. But so what! Such an exceptional song.
