http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIPcXPzU ... re=related



Not often these days I get genuine 'F*** me' moments listening to music, but this is one (for rock/jazz-funk guitarists) is right there.

Nothing to add.

Here's a lovely piece of music done by Jan Akkerman, done in the style of early jazz-pioneer Django Reinhardt.

Something to tap your toes to

Definitely prefer Akkerman in his own style Beach-bar music for me.

Youtube horribly sucks for me the last two days. Can hardly open anything.

'Beach bar music'?

... I think he'd like that

I've always liked Dio's Holy Diver.

But I just discovered Killswitch Engage's cover of Holy Diver tonight and I must say that this is even better. I like it

http://youtu.be/NR7dG_m3MsI

Anyone who still thinks Dio's version is still the best, I welcome you to air your opinions here

[JR8]

Ooh ooh ooh me Miss!

I prefer the 2nd version.

Nice!

The beats are a little bit confusing, but I like it.

What do you think she adds that is not in the original (apart from a pair of tits)?

p.s. Originals are rarely bettered IMO, this being QED for me...




p.s. Please understand I am not questioning your choice, more engaging in a robust bar-room style music discussion... trying to shake your tree hard enough so that the rationale drops out of it...

Perhaps I'm hypnotized by acoustic versions
