Teenage Girl Killing It With Van Halen "Eruption" Guitar Solo [VIDEO]

Dalton Castle — Wed, 22 May 2013 16:26:10 +0000

I’m completely bias on this video but I will give credit where credit is do. This 14 year old chick can play her some guitar. I say I’m bias for two reason, one, I’m not the biggest fan of Van Halen and two, I hate teenage girls. Both I find to be very annoying. [...]

This "Get Low" Cover Is Proof An Acoustic Guitar Can Make Anything Better [VIDEO]

Dalton Castle — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 19:38:57 +0000

I don’t know what it is about singing the f-bomb softly over an acoustic guitar but I love it every time and it always makes me giggle. I honestly think someone could sing the Gettysburg address while making fart noises in an acoustic cover and I might put it on my iPod. I’m [...]

Last week it was Bush covering this Beatles classic, but even before that it was Massachusetts quartet Godsmack, who are known around the world for their music. This past May they released their Live & Inspired album which included four covers, one being "Come Together" by The Beatles. The newly-released music video for Godsmack's version of the 1969 song can be seen below.

Levon Helm lost his battle with cancer earlier this week. He was one of the most influential figures in music, and The Black Keys decided to team up with John Fogerty and do one awesome tribute to him at Coachella. It’s always cool when an artist pays tribute to one of their fallen brethren. It’s [...]

This Video of Katy Perry Covering 'N–gas In Paris' Makes Us Cringe

BJ Ragone — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 23:00:17 +0000

Normally we would say that Katy Perry could do no wrong. She’s hot, seems pretty smart and can sing, but one thing she can’t do is rap. That is PAINFULLY obvious from the forthcoming video. Katy decided (or someone convinced her) it would be a good idea to do a cover of Jay-Z and Kanye [...]

Linkin Park Cover Adele 'Rolling In The Deep' [VIDEO]

BJ Ragone — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 14:35:19 +0000

Adele is one of the biggest people in pop music right now, and her influence has even moved Linkin Park to cover he big hit ‘Rolling in the Deep’. You can’t seem to go anywhere these days without hearing this Adele tune, including a Linkin Park concert. I have to admit though, it is a [...]

Rolling Stones Covered World Wide [VIDEO]

BJ Ragone — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 09:42:16 +0000

In the latest effort from charity organization Playing For Change, they cover the Rolling Stones “Gimme Shelter”. This is hands down one of coolest things I have ever seen. One of the coolest parts of all is that it’s all for a good cause. Playing For Change is a world wide organization that records music [...]

Scott Weiland Covers Lemonheads On Leno [VIDEO]

BJ Ragone — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 09:37:15 +0000

Last week Scott Weiland was out promoting his book and stopped by the Tonight Show with Jay Leno where he performed a great cover of The Lemonheads "Into Your Arms". Weiland has been doing covers of some of his favorite tunes while out promoting his new book "Not Dead & Not For Sale". I can't wait to read it.

Miley Cyrus Covers Nirvana? [VIDEO]

BJ Ragone — Tue, 03 May 2011 14:11:53 +0000

Seriously is nothing sacred any more? Miley Cyrus covering Nivana? Kurt Cobain must have just died again. When I hear this I don’t weather it’s more appropriate to cover my ears or throw up. Maybe both at the same time. I can’t believe that Disney Princess Miley freakin’ Cyrus is covering a song that means [...]

Best Rock Cover Songs [VIDEOS]

BJ Ragone — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 12:03:26 +0000

It’s always a pretty ballsy move when an artist tries to tackle a song by a fellow musician. It’s even better when they do it so well they knock it out of the park. I love it when a band is on stage and will start to play a kick ass song by a fellow [...]

Gwenyth Paltrow Gets Sexy On Glee

BJ Ragone — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 12:00:27 +0000

I take a lot of heat for watching Glee, but I know I’m not the only one. Last nights episode once again featured Gwenyth Paltrow who turned up the sexy. She covered Joan Jett’s “Do You Wanna Touch Me” and did an awesome job with it. The thing I like about Glee is the fact [...]

Shatner Channels Ozzy

BJ Ragone — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 11:42:12 +0000

William Shatner has teamed up with former Ozzy guitarist Zakk Wylde for a rendition of Iron Man for his upcoming album due out sometime in 2011. Yes that is correct, William Shatner is doing a cover of Black Sabbaths Iron Man for his new album called Seeking Major Tom which will be out later this [...]

Motley Crue Being Sued

BJ Ragone — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 00:32:42 +0000

Motley Crue and concert promoter Live Nation are getting hit with a lawsuit over using the image to the Crue’s Too Fast For Love album cover on hoodies without permission. So who would think that Motley Crue would have to seek permission to use the album art for their own album that’s been out for [...]
