Post your covers! (2025)

That was awesome Johnny, well done. You deserve a medal for that…or a BassBuzz t-shirt :rofl:

After both @Johnnyb and @JohnF covers, I feel like I’ve just turned up at the Tate Gallery to display my macaroni portrait.
I posted this on YouTube yesterday, not realising that it was King Charles’ official birthday. I can only apologise if I led anyone to believe it was a patriotic gesture. :rofl:
This Is England - The Clash

I would have maybe done a Rainbow or Megadeth cover to mark the day instead :wink:

I feel like a VIP getting early access to your covers as a subscriber! As I wrote on your YT channel, well played and I dig the guitar in this song. Great job!

Dwight Yoakam - Fast as You

Ok…now this is the fast Dwight Yoakam song I was practicing all week before I went on a detour with some mellow Waylon and Dwight tunes. Dwight is definitely paying homage to Roy Orbison with the guitar riff…

Great cover again John, I really like this one. So much so, I have been looking at Dwight Yoakam covers on Songsterr!

This option is available to everyone too :wink:
As you know, I only post a few in this thread. The rest are in my User Video Index.
I appreciate you watching them John, despite our differences in musical taste :slight_smile:

I love me some Alan Parsons Project, and when I realized this bass line seemed achievable I went for it! I could use more work on getting those slides consistent, but I’m happy with the results for now. And I had a blast learning it.

great job, bass a bit high in the mix but otherwise just great.

Yeah I’ve been keeping the bass pushed forward since these are for me and I want to hear it, but I might start pushing it back a little. You’re right it could be less prominent.

Thanks for all the kind words!

Thanks, Andrea! That is very cool that you’re checking out some Dwight Yoakam songs on Songsterr…I’ve got a few more of his on my “list” as he’s got quite a catalog. Yes, we have quite different musical tastes but it has been a lot of fun listening to new (to me) music!

Thank you all so much for your incredibly kind words!

As many of you know, #Hysteria was the bonus song for the 50-song challenge, and I already got a medal for smashing those 50 songs – woohoo! :slight_smile: That said, I actually agree this song deserves a T-shirt, so maybe I should order one from @JoshFossgreen.

It seems my fingers were indeed flying on both hands! This was my first and only take at full speed, so I think I was truly maxing out my abilities at that point, haha! :slight_smile:

Classic Priest, top job Justin! :sunglasses:
I’ve got both of Rob Halford’s books. Really interesting and candid view of his life, and of course he is from my homeland, The Black Country.
