Saturday, January 26, 2013Hello Everyone...
I may have mentioned before that I've performed in a handful of cafes, events and basements with friends over the years for some good ol' fashioned jam sessions. I'm by no means a great musician, but it's a heck of a lot of fun to create music. Sometimes it's even better to cover the classics and put your own spin on it.
One of my favorite songs to play was Eleanor Rigby. Accompanied by my friend, a cellist, we must have played that song a hundred times. We put our own 2-person spin on it, and I thought it was pretty cool. But nothing beats the original singer... Sir Paul McCartney.
I stumbled on a hard rock version, that utilizes the original vocal track. Now don't be turned off by the "metal-ness" of it, it's still very melodic, and sounds like it's from the 80s...you'll understand when you hear it!
