Not only was that a funny ass flip, but it was pretty GOOD!

Yeah, when I saw this thread, I didn't have to work any harder than a quick zip over to my You Tube favorites for that gem.

I love this one. Pete Frampton's version of Black Hole Sun

There's a studio version on YT but I like this live one best.

edit- I went to you tube...uhm, no. the rhythm is all off and his stringing out the vocals doesn't do it, at least for me....

Oh. well just click it to go to youtube.

Skynyrd is cool and all, but these guys took a steaming dump all over Skynyrd with this rendition.

Well you're entitled to your opinion of course.

But a cover doesn't always have to be copied exactly. Sometimes a song needs to be left as is as far as melody and delivery, but sometimes a great cover is all about flipping it and making it your own.

This song isn't epic enough to warrant leaving it as is with no changes.

But that's just my opinion.

I am not sure if it gets any better than this...

I hear you.....I love LS, and well, I am just programmed maybe....I just cannot see it done by anyone else....

idk man, I don't think even Stevie can show up Jimi.

It's awesome work but it's still Jimi.

I've been out of the guitar game for a loooooong time. I just ordered an acoustic for myself and I've been on this cover binge the last couple days, mainly because I don't write my own guitar music so I expect to be covering songs while I get back into it.

I haven't played in probably 8 years.

It's going to be weird without drugs, too.
