But his goal seems to be to record the songs very true to the originals, and that's boring for me, I'd rather just listen to the originals.

 

 

If you watch the recent Q&A his goal was merely to get himself back into singing after his leukemia, and it basically turned out to be so popular that he kept doing them. If he did an original arrangement it would take longer as you essentially have to completely re-write the music and for something he was just doing for fun would probably mean he would no longer do them.

I agree that if I am buying a covers album or have a cover recorded specifically for sale as a single or album track, I will always prefer a unique take (as long as it doesn't totally ruin the song) rather than a straight up cover. But I can understand when doing this for YouTube, doing your own take would be too time consuming, especially as just a side project.

Not a cover this time but an original song....

For those not following along, Erik spun a wheel with random genres and song themes and was tasked with making a power metal song about Dragon Knights.  

This is what him and Jona came up with.  I actually like this better than most of the songs on the New Horizon album they did lol.

Another original song Erik did fairly recently.  Wasn't sure where to toss these so figured I'd just put in this thread.

This was another one where he spun a wheel with random genres and themes.  This time he was tasked with doing a Country song about Sex on the Beach.

As great as he/this is, this doesn't compare to the Legendary JF. 

Still great recognition and a very worthy tribute.
