I'm really digging some of the offerings in here. So far, I'm particularly impressed with the "Thriller" and "William Tell" covers. However, this
Asbeau: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBZLPA0QKBw A drum cover of Teenage Wasteland / The Who ...this makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!
this I find staggeringly offensive on
sooo many levels! I was going to go into detail as to why and how, but deleted it and decided to simply give better examples.
Here's a good cover of
Baba O'Riley, a good cover of
another Who song, and a good cover of
a few Rush songs. What makes them better? They all offer something new and worthwhile to the song, but more than that they offer
respect to both the original drummer and the song itself! I found none of that in Minerva's rendition. So, I hope more people see and hear the differences in these pieces and get what I'm saying. Because these titans of drumming deserve a deeper level of appreciation than that.
And FFS, call the song by its proper name {:-(
Thanks for the cool giveaway and better luck to the Habs next season! This isn't an entry, though :-)
