Green Day - Working Class Hero

Today is Green Day's drummer Tre Cool's 36th birthday - Happy Birthday Tre. The guys haven't released a new album in a while, but I thought I'd feature a cover they did back in 2007 of John Lennon's Working Class Hero. They recorded the song for Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur, which was released on June 12, 2007 and proceeds went to help support Amnesty International's campaign to focus attention on the conflict in Darfur, Sudan. This is a really good cover of a great song. Here's Lennon's original version. Enjoy!

G.W.A.R. - School's Out

I've never been a big fan of G.W.A.R. Actually, I've never really even listened to their music before, so I can't say whether I like them or not. They definitely have a unique look. I came across this video today of them covering Alice Cooper's 70's hit, School's Out. It seems that their record label made them record a cover song in an effort to get some radio airplay, so they covered this song on their latest album Beyond Hell, which was released in 2006. Enjoy!

The Killers - Shadowplay

The Killers covered the song Shadowplay by Joy Division for the 1997 film Control, which is about the late Ian Curtis' life. Ian was the lead singer for the band Joy Division. (Note: Even though the video says the song is Uncle Johnny, it is in fact Shadowplay.) Enjoy!

Aerosmith - Baby, Please Don't Go and Dude (Looks Like A Lady)

Rock legends Aerosmith are working on a new album right now. Their last single was 2004's cover version of Baby, Please Don't Go. It peaked at #7 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts and is a staple at most of their concerts. Dude (Looks Like a Lady) was the first single released by Aerosmith from their 1987 comeback album called Permanent Vacation. Enjoy!

Baby, Please Don't Go

Tesla - Led Zeppelin's Thank You and Little Suzi

Tesla released their version of Led Zeppelin's major hit, Thank You as a single earlier this year. It's a really good version of the song. Unfortunately, I wish a lot of the 80's hair bands would release some new stuff rather than always doing covers of older songs. (See Poison's latest single What I Like About You).

Thank You
is definitely a far cry from Tesla's heyday when they were pumping out songs like my favorite from the band called Little Suzi, but it's nice to see Tesla back at it again. They really are one of the best bands to come out of the 80's. Enjoy!

Thank You



Little Suzi

Spiderbait - (Ghost) Riders in the Sky and Black Betty Music Videos

Spiderbait's (Ghost) Riders in the Sky was featured in Nicholas Cage's recent movie, Ghost Rider. The first video features scenes from the movie set to the song. The second video is for their hit single, Black Betty, which was released back in 2004, but didn't gain a lot of steam in American until last year, but it went to #1 in their native Australia. Enjoy both videos!
