15 Mar 01 - 06:46 PM (#418627) Subject: Fantasy Covers!! From: Matt_R So, have you ever wanted to take a song from another genre and add something new to it!! Tell us about it here. I've been doing Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again" and Dodgy's "Good Enough" acoustically...they work great with big boom-chicka-boom-chicka guitar chops. Since I'm a huge fan of Japanese rock too, I've always wanted to take TM Network's "7 Days War" and add a hug chorus of Highland pipes. |

15 Mar 01 - 07:24 PM (#418654) Subject: RE: Fantasy Covers!! From: Matt_R For a couple years now I'm wanted to graft in Sor's Etude in B minor over the solo in "Hotel California". I already did something like this when I replaced the string quartet cadenzas in Deep Purple's "Anthem" with a little 2-part dance tune by an anonymous Renaissance composer. |

The Euphoria Stringband masquerading as Pink Void actually took second place one year at Cliftop WV in the non-traditional stringband division with it. Amazing. Jim |

16 Mar 01 - 03:21 PM (#419302) Subject: RE: Fantasy Covers!! From: harpmolly I was inspired by Loreena McKennitt's "Greensleeves," which she tried to do a la Tom Waits (whether or not she succeeded is a matter for debate, but as one relatively ignorant of Tom Waits, I'll bow out of THAT discussion). :) "Greensleeves" is a beautiful song that's become a cliche, sadly. I'd love to perform it a la Tori Amos (she does amazing covers--usually don't resemble the original in anything but the most basic component, and she always adds a new element. You haven't lived until you've heard her sing "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Anyway. That's my $.02 M |

16 Mar 01 - 03:59 PM (#419352) Subject: RE: Fantasy Covers!! From: Steve Latimer I was at my cousin's wedding last week. The band was "Celtic" something. They consisted of a female singer, an accordian, a fiddle, a Stratocater, Bass and Drums. I loved their version of the Ramones "Sedated". |
