Unfortunately, not much out there from him on you tube, but here's one to give an idea of how he takes a song and makes it his own, while still respecting the original.

Fricking love this! 1st time I ever heard it was during the end credits of 50 First Dates and I got goosebumps, I made it a goal to find this song, so I immediately went and got the soundtrack, This was also played at my wedding....still gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.....just beautiful.

Love this song...

They played the video to this at church one morning and I kept thinking I knew this song, but finally remembered NIN did it several years ago. It's just been several years since I put in one of their CD's.

Awesome! I wanted to go to that show badly but I couldn't convince Erika that Valentine's was best spent at a Panic show, plus it sold out in no time. The Fox is where I saw some of my first shows such as the night in '95 I saw No Doubt open for 311. No Doubt was fairly unknown but after that night I had quite the crush on Gwen Stephanie. I would have loved to spend WSP's 25th anniversary at one of my favorite venues.

icehog3 · 03-15-2012, 04:00 PM

Awesome acoustic cover of CCR's Fortunate Son here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFQG6OTXAxg

The Poet · 03-15-2012, 05:06 PM

I did not click all the links above, nor did I search for one myself, but I did not see anyone mention Dweezil Zappa's cover of Stayin' Alive by the BeeGees. It is pretty straight forward, save for his guitar solo in the middle, but twisted juuuuust enough to make it hilarious.
