Who has it? Or has heard it? I don't think it has been released yet, but with the internet you never know.......
I fully understand that some of you U2 fans will not appreciate any cover, much less a metal band covering U2 because "noone should sing it except Bono" or whatever. Tell that to Bono when he sings one of hundreds of covers U2 have done in full or as snippets sung by Bono. That is a ludicrous belief, especially those who have heard Tori Amos singing RTSS, which is quite beautiful, and yet you already have a few "noone should sing that but Bono" .......give me a fucking break.
Great bands need and want to hear their songs played, it not only gives upmost respect to the songwriters, it is a chance to hear the song in a new light. There is no greater compliment to the band.
I think 90% of music fans enjoy cover songs for this very reason. OK enough of that, onto my question:
Has anyone heard Anthrax's version of 'Exit'? I haven't and am dying to.
Now, I know full well there aren't many if hardly any Anthrax fans on here, but you cannot tell me that this doesnt sound at least interesting.
They recorded it along with 2 other covers (one being a Police song) for B-sides for their newest album.
I thought maybe someone had heard it or knows how to get an mp3 of it.
And for the record, the band has been seriously upgraded since the days of their hair music, and their singer John Bush is actually quite good, not Bono-good but very good for a hard rock/metal band.
I'd bet it's excellent, 'Exit' was a song dying for a metal band to cover for 15 years.
P.O.D.'s version of Bullet, was decent, but lacked the fire and emotion I expected, basically because their singer cannot sing. I also am somewhat interested to hear Sepultura cover Bullet, but their singer is very raspy and classic 'throat-metal' if you know what I mean.
I guarantee you, that most of you would probably like Antrhrax's version, I am guessing because I haven't heard it yet, but they are playing some excellent hard rock lately. Roger Daltrey was a guest vocalist on one of their tracks on their latest album.
