right-track

I was referring to classic originals.
Personally I think any cover version by a new or up-coming band, of an established classic, is nothing less than an insult.
Unless of course it blows the original away. Which, lets face it, is rare to say the least.

The music should be played as a tribute (a tip of the hat) and played as the original artist intended.
If I was a painter I wouldn't attempt to re-paint Van Gogh's sunflowers.

I do see the point your making, but my point is, show respect to the original.
Anything less is nothing short of arrogance.
