Jahfin Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Now, if only they'd stayed ON the powders, they'd have been just fine Can't say that's true. I've heard some live recordings of theirs from the 70s when they sounded like absolute shit. I saw them on the Get A Grip tour in the early 90s and they were definitely on top of their game. I'm still not a fan of their latter day material but I have to give it to them as a live band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouillon Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 ^ If you want to experience a classic Aero-wreck, check out Ventura '83. The band's ok musically, but Tyler's up there with the satellites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 I caught this on FB the other day and I thought it was awful (felt compelled to watch until the end to see Ce-Lo), but it's been off and on stuck in my head ever since. (Not that the original is a great song either, but I can't see anyone but Prince pulling that one off). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not that the original is a great song either, but I can't see anyone but Prince pulling that one off). Man, the studio version of that song is 1000x better. They do the intro/verse guitars with volume swells instead of picking like in this vid. Seems subtle, but it adds alot. Think they slow it down a bit too much here too.

I sure hope you're right I thought that one was unlistenable. It started out bad and got way worse with Ce-Lo; I had to stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Why no inclusion of this bullshit cover? Probably because finding a shitty bar band doing covers on YouTube is like shooting fish in a barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 This smooth jazz version of Izzo (Hova) I'm listening to is both bad and unfortunate. Some genres do not deserve the smooth jazz treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 give them a break there kids Just answering the guy's question about why similar covers haven't been posted. Most everything in this thread comes from fairly well known bands doing covers, not shitty bar bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Ryan Adams - Round and Round Just sounds like he recast it as a slowed down acoustic version. Then again, I never thought much of Ratt or "Round and Round" in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
