Probably one of the best covers ever - up there with Metalica’s “Turn the Page”.

Rob, I tried to send you this email to this address but it was kicked back as undeliverable.  Here is the message:

Please delete my last post which only has a partial title.  It got posted erroneuosly.  I tried to complete the article via the edit button, but everything was lost when I tried to resubmit due to a ‘template’ error.  What the h--- is a template?  I don’t see any reference to a template on the posting page.

I tried to complete the article via the edit button, but everything was lost when I tried to resubmit due to a ‘template’ error.

I ran into that problem when I tried to edit one of my posts (it was just a messed up link) through the site. The only way I was able to edit was by going through the EE template. Try that and see if it works. If it doesn’t, I’ll delete your last post.

lik, tried to use the your link and got:

You are not authorized to perform this action

I think that it’s best to delete and start over.

Love that cover.  Fantastic, one of the best.  But now that I’ve seen that the dudes look like freaks it almost ruins it for me.  THANKS ROB!!! >:-O


I think Rob hates me… I mean, just look at the pic he took of me!

I find it hard to take anyone that is white and has dreadlocks seriously. (I also think that black people with mullets are less than austere)

Graeme,

Aren’t you supposed to be a bit more mature than to be judging people by their race and their hair style?

Sorry to be the wet blanket here- I thought their cover of “Simple Man” sucked. Plain sucked- sounded like some bad lounge act or something. It was painful to listen to. In fact they took the concept of “Suck” to a whole new astral plain. They have since redeemed themselves with some other stuff I’ve heard on radio, but I’ll never forget the mess they made of Skynyrd’s song…

Geez, GOB, you little bitter or something?  That is a great cover, I don’t think it’s really debatable except for the fact that the guys look like freaks… but if you just listen to the audio, it’s great… fantastic in fact.

Personally, I think they sang it like Van Zant wanted to sing it.
