Let's begin the weekend with a new cover- ENJOY !

Not really my cup of tea, but I did like the Jagger/Frampton team though...

Frampton Comes Alive! Such a great record, is there anybody out there who doesn't have a copy of that album?

One of the all time great covers - because it's completely different but works wonderfully and is pretty potent and powerful. Never understood how and why so many successful cover versions are virtual carbon copies of the originals (think Guns & Roses with Live & Let Die or their version of Knockin' on Heaven's Door). I hear their versions on the radio but never the originals. Yet Wings Over America's live version of Live & Let Die is so superior and is the "original". Don't get it. If you're gonna do a cover, individualize it - think of Hendrix' All Along The Watchtower, Cockers "With A Little Help From My Friends", The Stones "Love In Vain" and yes Framptons Jumping Jack Flash

Per Wayne Campbell (Wayne's World)...It was standard issue if you lived in the suburbs.

The worst example might be that ego maniac Phil Collins recording and releasing "You Can't Hurry Love" as a single. It's hard to forget his big fat face plastered on his first big solo record. But then again, when I suppose his writing skills had diminished - wtf does Sussudio mean? Not that I want to know.

Yes...here in Southern California during Jr. High, we used to smoke dozens of bong hits of cheap weed ala Spicoli,
trying to figure out how he was making his guitar talk on I Want You To Show Me The Way and Do You Feel (Like We Do).
Didn't know it was a talk-box at the time, but it was fun being stoned while listening to it.

Jeff Spicoli- "All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine".

Excellent thoughts! What a beautiful buzz...

You hadn't heard Joe Walsh before Frampton?

I've never gone near Frampton's Comes Alive!, to me he was better in Humble Pie.

Yes, Live And Let Die is a carbon copy. But Knockin' On Heaven's Door couldn't be more different. It takes that song and turns it completely upside down. And makes it even more amazing than that song already was. Its honestly one of my favorite GNR songs, despite it being a cover. Ranks as one of the best cover songs IMO.

You're definitely right in comparing GnR's Knockin to Dylan's original studio version. I should've been more specific. GnR's cover is played still pretty "straight" and when comparing to later Dylan live versions - ex the version on Before The Flood with The Band from '74 - it's fairly comparable with a few effects thrown on. But point taken.... I'm sure McCartney's bank account is thrilled with their version of Live and Let Die, but boggles my mind that you'll never hear the Wings Over America version on the radio....

GREAT song from a very under-rated album IMHO. But then again, how could u ever top FCA???

"Doctor please, some more men please,
To Cotchford Farm, out by the pool...

What a drag it is they couldn't revive him"

Brian Jones 2/28/42 - 7/2/69

Hate to thread-crap, but after wearing out the grooves in FCA, I eagerly awaited but was deeply disappointed with I'm in You. I also think the cover of JJF is the worst thing on FCA.
