• With a lively debate about "Re-Machined" going on in the 'Album Reviews' forum, I thought that it is about time to to start a thread about cover versions.

    Glenn has been featured on quite a few tribute albums and laid down his own versions of various songs whenever he had the artistic freedom.

    So what is you take on the topic?
    1:1 reproduction of the original or create something new out of a classic tune?

    Additions very welcome! :cool:

    Cheers,
    Christian

    P.S. Here's a good one to start with...

  • A fantastic version of the Beatles classic with great (and virtuoso!) bits added that are not in the original.

  • The late, great Kevin Gilbert covers the Zep classic here -
    this version was rejected by Atlantic when Gilbert handed it in for inclusion on 'Enconium - A Tribute to Led Zeppelin' back in 1995, and so it only appeared on the bonus disc for the Limited Edition version of KG's solo album 'Thud'.
