Favourite Cover Versions

[redwhiteblue]

Oh Bernie I’m sure you knew my curiosity would get the better of me and I’d actually listen to this Why o why did you torment me by mentioning this hideous abomination that Cher has come up with The ear damming squall and sound of her voice mixed with that crude sounding banjo type guitar was too much it got just past two minutes Now I must listen to the original and pray the memory of Chers version is permanently erased from my mind

Nirvana got their revenge on Cher for you. Here they are fooling around in the studio (one would hope) doing Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves aka what the South Sydney Rabbitohs team song really should be…

listen at your peril..you’ve been warned..!

I really liked the Chrissy Hynde performance here

OMG I just looked up how old she is 73 this year Where does the time go

I thought you may appreciate the beauty in that one Andy. Ian Moss is about to turn 69 in March and don’t get me started on actors I’ve always loved like Harrison Ford (81), Richard Gere (74) and Michael Douglas (79).

Well that’s enough pre-season shenanigans from me (I do love that word Andy as Mum used it all the time) so I’ll leave you as custodian of the longest running thread on here. I’m just not up to being on here regularly anymore these days…but it was nice to come back and visit. I’m sure our paths will cross again someday somewhere else.

This one is my favourite Whitney Houston song “Take Good Care of My Heart” which she had sung with Jermaine Jackson. Mum & I had this on vinyl so this one is very special. I have no idea who these artists are but the guy sounds very much like George Michael (no mean feat).

Andy, I'm still on the road to recovery and finding my way forward as best I can. hence my new autosig.

I appreciate the sentiment.. My heart's just not in this place anymore and I hope you will please understand. The thought of having to type another 418 posts on here makes me feel rather jaded..

I'm just finding things a bit claustrophobic at the moment and its making me feel smothered, when I prefer to be positive and upbeat. Even as I'm typing this, I can see what's happening as soon as I log in. It's not a nice feeling Andy and wouldn't wish it on anyone.


Maybe we will see each other again real soon..it just won't be on here.

It’s your life so you should do what you think is best for you

It’s your life so you should do what you think is best for you

Thanks Rad for understanding and that’s exactly what I said to someone a few weeks back who had refused to pass on some messages to me just because they do not like the person who had been asking about my health. That was not their call to make, particularly at Christmas time when I could have done with the cheering up. It’s like playing God and meddling with someone else’s mental wellbeing and life. I cannot tell you how furious it made me and you know it takes a lot for me to get to that point.

I’m the sole judge of whom I want in my life going forward and the ones I’m leaving behind in that rearview mirror. Life is too short to waste anymore time watching the 2 person puppet show going on in this place every time I log in here. They should stop throwing stones and deflecting onto others. Funny how you and Paddo are always vilified on here yet both of you have been nothing but gentlemen towards me since I came back. Food for thought for others on here..

Now you take good care of yourself too and your little girl who is probably taller than me these days. Don’t be a stranger and you know where to reach me..I’ll be in the Ivory Tower at the Hotel California..


OMG George just came up on my shuffle with FREEDOM 90 as I type this..even he’s telling me it’s time to go..


I know you love a good sing song..here is Robbie’s tribute..


freedom, freedom….holding onto my freedom..

To bid you another farewell from this place I feel it’s apt to post this lovely cover of an Andre Bocelli song redone by a young Hope Winter I’m sure everyone will know the song

[horrie hastings]

They played this earlier today also, Bonnie Tyler's is the classic version but this a great dance version.

That is a great version, its that sort of song that could suit any type of musical styles.

Nightwish’s tribute to Pink Floyd (High Hopes) is excellent …

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jXTmh8fC_RQ

Dave Gilmour called it his favourite PF cover.

Nightwish, with their current singer (since 2013) are amazing. If you are even vaguely interested in Symphonic metal they are well worth a listen.

Im going to Ministry of Sound tonight.
I cant wait.

Great stuff Waylander..the lead singer has an immense voice..yes am a big fan of symphonic metal even before it because more mainstream..thanks for posting and I'll give that a proper listen tomorrow..

He is not actually their lead singer. They did this cover while the (former) female lead vocalist was doing a costume change.

Nightwish are a Finnish band, and are now fronted by Floor Jansen, a Dutch woman and the best all round vocalist I have ever heard. In keeping with this thread, here is her solo version of Alone, made famous by Heart (although theirs was also a cover).

I’d be happy to make some Nightwish recommendations if you’re interested. They have been around since 1996 and have a big catalogue, but where they really excel is live performances, especially since Floor joined them. They have a few live DVD’s that are all over YouTube. They are the best introduction to their music.
