How about Metallica + Ozzy? Look at the sheer enjoyment, and don't listen too closely to Ozzy's pitch...

I haven't been listening too closely to Ozzy's pitch for at least 25 years (maybe longer)... it's nice that now he has about the same range (and accuracy) as I do. Still, when you consider he should have been in the ground before the 70's were even over... he's doing great!

I think the same things watching him that I do with the Stones: genetics clearly trumps everything else when it comes to vices and unhealthy lifestyles. I guess if large amounts of heroin, cocaine, and alcohol doesn't kill you - it makes you invincible.

Jeff Buckley's cover of The Smith's "I Know It's Over

I want this song played over my funeral

 

[Newk Yuler]

This cover of Toto's Africa propelled Frogleap Studios and later their band into an international spotlight. Rabea (the lead guitar player) places an excellent, well crafted solo. The songbird is his lady. Stay for the jam after the cover.
