Riot done a version of " Devil Woman " on their Born In America CD.

I wasn't aware of this one. Thanks mate. 

It's okay, but I still prefer the "Jane Doe" version.

I've also posted the original for context. Still a cracker, even though it's Cliff.

GW always does covers but this one is a super one.     And the original by the criminally underrated The Angels:

The original is KILLER!

This is very much a worthy tribute. Thanks for sharing mate.

As I said before I'm not usually a fan of covers but this I like, and as you said is a worthy tribute to a KILLER! song.

Tim Cappello/The Call - I Still Believe. 

Well fuck me. 

I love this track and only found out today that Cappello's iconic version from "The Lost Boys" is actually a cover.

The version by "The Call" is the original!

Yeah, it is weird. I love a good cover, but can't imagine that it was popular amongst their fanbase and lovers of the original would hate it, so what's the point?

Their fanbase liked it. They are so-called open minded people. ;)

I consider myself to be very tolerant of all music genres. If it's good, I can appreciate it. If it's shit, I can't. 

Don't get me wrong, the music is fine, but those vocals are ridiculous really. I can understand maybe 12 year olds thinking it was cool, but I can't understand how grown adults can listen to that cookie monster shit.

It means you need to be more tolerant to understand music/vocals like this. But that's okay. We are not the same.

You like Rap? Country & Western? Death Metal? Grunge? Hip Hop? Classical? K-Pop? J-Pop? Etc?
If the answer in no to any of those, you could apply your own argument to yourself :)

That's a cool cover.
They took everything heavy from the original and made it heavier.
Added fills and changed it up just enough.
I'm not a huge fan of female vocals as a rule, particularly when covering a song originally sung by a male, but she nailed it.

She's as hot as fuck (I still think of Megan Fox when I see her) and that is a great version, but this is the ultimate version IMO.

Heaven and Hell × 6.

I posted the "Bridger" version recently and it reminded me of how much I love this classic track. 

TBH, I think all of these versions are worthy tributes, including the acoustic one, but if I had to choose, I think I'd go with "Bridger". Pure class!

      Tell Which Bands I Should Listen To!

      By CureTheSane · Posted

      Some of these I have touched on in the past, but not found myself desperate to explore more. For instance 8 have hardline eclipse and also II. But that's it  Same with a few others on the list, I may have an album. So I guess I really want another Tyketto where the whole catalogue is great. If any on the list fit that bill. In the past I tried out Alfo November. The one with a brick wall in it?, Lillian Axe and a Loudness. Maybe I need to try them again. I purposefully left some off, like Vibbie Vincent Invasion because of the screechy vocals. I guess I always put Mark Free in that group as well.

      Well, the first two "Giant" albums are quintessential, as is the "Hardline" debut. Akdo Nova's "Blood on the Bricks" is one of my all time favourites, Lizzy Borden is awesome as is the Mark/Marcie Free fronted "King Kobra".

      Tell Which Bands I Should Listen To!

      By CureTheSane · Posted

      So some may remember that Tyketto toured recently and aside from Forever Young, I never delved into this band. So I did, so I'd know the songs in concert and was blown away. A great band with an awesome catalog that I had missed out on. To be fair, in the 80's it was a lot harder to access and find out about a lot of the more fringe bands, that's my excuse anyway. So I now am faced with digging deeper into some other bands I've overlooked. Some of these I gave a go, and wasn't really impressed, but now I'm starting fresh with an open mind. So below is a list of bands I have eitehr never bothered with, or never really gave a proper go. Lizzy Borden is on the list and I have done a bit of their stuff and like it a lot, so I will definately dig deeper into them (I've got some older stuff and some newer stuff, but have skipped quite a few albums) But the others, fire away, tell me which bands have killer material that I'll froth and how stppid I've been to skip them. Aldo Nova Badlands Baby Tango Baton Rouge Black N Blue Britney Fox BulletBoys DAD Giant Hanoi Rocks Hardline Jetboy King Kobra Kingdom Come Lillian Axe Lizzy Borden Loudness Love Hate Quireboys Saigon Kick Santa Cruz Shotgun Messiah SleezeBeez SouthGang Tiger Tailz TNT Vain White Tiger
