Effin Brilliant

Post by IndyWS6 »

I'm old - kiss my ass and get off my lawn :lol:

This is my favorite Chicago song. Covered brilliantly... It's not metal, or Hair Metal, but it rocks, none the less. Enjoy, or don't :)

1. Great tune. Always loved it.
2. .. Would
3. I think it's hilarious that the trombone player is using a cheap Holton (<$500 used.. think middle-school instruments) and the trumpet player is using a Monette (>$30,000 used... gold plated)

Interesting... I don't know brass instrument values, but it's not the price; it's the talent behind it. And there's a ton of it in that studio... :thu:

Another great cover... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5XmUnYW5Ks

And the backup singer is even hotter in this one. Wood. Repeatedly. With a vengeance and a purpose... :thu:

Their cover of September came up on my YouTube suggestion feed. Sounded great, but it could use a little more cowbell.

I have nothing but mad respect for this level of musicianship, especially for the person who put it all together and recordeed/produced it all including the video.

Yeah, somehow I missed that.

What are you trying to say about the few thousand-dollars worth of gear that I own and hardly use? :wait:

:lol: Right there with you, brother... I have far more money wrapped up in instruments and gear than a half-assed rhythm guitar player should. I don't suck because of the quality of my gear, that's for sure...
