Wow! Rad I had no idea that he was behind that song!

I hear it frequently, but never knew!

Consider me enlightened! :thumbup:

Thank you!
Eric.

So many songs are covered these days, I've lost count the number of times I've had to explain that today's singer of a song is not the original.

I once did a Google search for a particular cover of the Jimmy Hendrix song, Little Wing, I think I found about 150 versions at the time lol.
Anyway, this is the version I was looking for. It has to be the best cover. And the worse, that I won't post was by The Corrs

Watch "Geoff Tate and Mark Cole - Little Wing Cover" on YouTube

Or we can take it one step further. . . .

I've literally just found out that diarrhea is hereditary 8O

It's in me jeans. . . .

Sounds better when spoken aloud :thumbup:

Hi Rad.

I'm glad you liked that :thumbup:

Here's something a bit different. It was originally posted by a young lad to prove he could play, the YouTube poster isn't the original. The original video must have been made at least 15 years ago, more likely 20, and it ended up on a different website than YouTube, but I can't find it.
I've not been able to prove or disprove whether it was an unreleased Queensryche song. I hope you like it, it starts off slow.

Hee Hee, love that! :D Fit's in perfectly with my juvenile sense of humor! Bathroom humor and dark humor are two of my favorites, I mean we all do it, right?! And we're all going to die too, right?! :clap:

As for Geoff, he is an amazing singer and the band was pretty awesome live. When we lived in Seattle he was dating a Veterinary Tech at the Animal Hospital my Wife worked at. He was in and out of there many times. I also met and trained Queensryche's guitarist, Michael "The Whip" Wilton's dog, although at the time I didn't know it was him! :wtf: My other run in with a rocker was training Sean Kinney's dog. He's the drummer for Alice In Chains. All three were very low key and unRock Star like. You may of had a sense that they were "someone" but they were just "normal" and very personable. I stepped in a lot of dog s@*t for 12 years but met quite a few well known and\or famous people.

Cheers,
Eric.
