Not only because he does the high notes marvelously but also because it doesn't have Yngwie's guitar diarrhea -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Round 40: Ex-Yardbirds battle Jimmy Page & Led Zeppelin: Jeff Beck & The Jeff Beck Group:
January 13, 20232 yr I'll go with Jeff Beck & The Jeff Beck Group --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Round 41: Girly versions face off again Smells Like (seriously) Fucked up Teen Spirit: Smells Like (lightly) Fucked up Teen Spirit:
January 14, 20232 yr Author Ooooh this is brutally difficult!! Both versions are wonderful Marginally, and actually almost randomly, because both are so good, I'll vote for Smells Like (seriously) Fucked up Teen Spirit ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Round 42: This song recently appeared in "The Cover or The Original?". Now let's look at 2 different versions of it, neither being the original. Shapes Of Things before Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart's eyes: Shapes Of Things before Ian Gillan and Deep Purple's eyes: Spoiler As seen on the other thread, the original version is by The Yardbirds, during Jeff Beck's tenure with the band. He would later re-record it, with a completely new arrangement, with The Jeff Beck Group for their debut album by suggestion of their singer... some Rod Stewart. Most following cover versions of the song would follow this new arrangement template instead of the original
January 14, 20232 yr I'll go with Shapes Of Things before Ian Gillan and Deep Purple's eyes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Round 43: For the first time the same song is competing in both games. Rod Stewart - Some Guys Have All the Luck: Robert Palmer - Some Guys Have All The Luck:
January 14, 20232 yr Author Without a doubt Rod Stewart - Some Guys Have All the Luck And Rod Stewart wins in both games ------------------------------------- Round 44: Liverpool bands trying to break into the scene in 1962 No, we're NOT releasing this thing as our first single: Okay, we'll do it...:

January 15, 20232 yr Author This is extremely difficult.... But I'll go with Imagine it with Chris Cornell ... I find it slightly more moving (which is saying a lot) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Round 46: Early live Phantom with Paul Di'Anno: Late live Phantom with Bruce Dickinson: (Fuck "LatinAutor - UMPG" btw )
January 15, 20232 yr Late live Phantom with Bruce Dickinson -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Round 47: Love is all around some unusual suspects Love is all around R.E.M Love is all around Metallica
January 16, 20232 yr Author 8 hours ago, SuperG.Girl said: Love is all around Metallica This is not Metallica No idea who they are, but it's 100% not Metallica --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll go with Love is all around R.E.M for actually being R.E.M. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Round 48: Groovin' in the studio: Groovin' at the Royal Albert Hall:
