#5 definetly

KSG_Standard · 10-03-2009, 09:32 PM

#7. I liked the tone, the timing and the tune. Nice guitar work and vocals too.

All of the tunes were excellent. #5 was very nice too, with very sweet tone and expression.

lpcustom69 · 10-03-2009, 11:17 PM

#5 over #7 and #9.

I also liked the uniqueness of #4

Leumas · 10-04-2009, 12:01 AM

I had to go 7 in this one, it just had all the right vibe. Great guitar work, good vocal to go with it, and the two work well together.

Honorable mention to number 2...it was a bit more literal a take than most covers, but it has a good groove to it and is executed really well.

That is nasty, ain't it?

And can you spell "tone"?

lazz · 10-04-2009, 03:29 AM

Wow this is a tough one. The two that jumped out at me were 2 and 7 but i have to pick one so i go with 7 only because it was the whole package the playing,tone,groove were great. I have to say though that the Jessica cover was awesome and whoever did that should be very happy with themselves it was a great version.

Cookie-boy · 10-04-2009, 04:16 AM

Very hard, very hard indeed. I think I'm with KSG in going with 7. I marked them all out of ten and 6 of the 9 entries were within either half a point or a point of each other.

wumms · 10-04-2009, 04:16 AM

7, without doubt

blues24 · 10-04-2009, 12:43 PM

up

Kølabrennern · 10-04-2009, 01:19 PM

Went for number 7. Not usually a big fan of this type of tone, but this was too cool to not get my vote. Number 2 was also really cool and would have gotten my vote otherwise.

blakem · 10-04-2009, 08:45 PM

7 was stinking cool..great tone. nice feel great job..

Von Bek · 10-04-2009, 11:42 PM

First off, they were all excellent. This wasn't easy. I just kept going back to #5. I loved it. The tone was sweet and playing was tight. There were some serious fingers on that little riff there at 1:09. Very nicely done!

decoy205 · 10-05-2009, 08:17 AM

I voted 7. ZZ Top is hard stuff to play and this guy did a great job. Very cool. Even got some of the voice stuff down.

I thought number 3 was very cool and sounded tight and big, I thought 6 was creative too, putting the lead track over some live show. Sounded cool.

blakem · 10-05-2009, 01:08 PM

bump

zplapplap · 10-05-2009, 01:59 PM

My vote goes to #7. It has great rhythm and feel. Credit goes to #6 for taking on a U2 cover. It demonstrated a true command of the style of a unique guitarist. Well done.

Thanks to all who entered.

Purple Radar · 10-05-2009, 02:18 PM

#4 for me

blakem · 10-05-2009, 03:28 PM

hard competition... they are all very good, Love the Allman brothers...Love the U2... this is hard...love the ZZ Top... that tone is almost dead on... great stuff

Splattle101 · 10-05-2009, 09:18 PM

Bump!

mrpesca · 10-05-2009, 09:22 PM

Even if you aren't ready to vote or you don't want to vote for some reason, let the artists know what you thought. Positive critiquing is encouraged. Keep the comments coming!

coldsteal2 · 10-05-2009, 09:50 PM

I think everyone did a great job on all the rally's
i did finaly vote, but I would give you all get my vote if i could

The_Sentry · 10-05-2009, 11:01 PM

These were really great. I think I know who did a few of these. But I still had to give it up to number 7 over that rhythm playing. That was some nice stuff, man!

Splattle101 · 10-06-2009, 09:19 AM

Tum-tee-tum-tee-tee

Tsukiyomi · 10-06-2009, 04:36 PM

5 gets it for me. Nice tone, feel and playing.

Hyper · 10-06-2009, 05:55 PM

Nice work all the way around but in the end, I'm a "Believer"!

Stonesy · 10-06-2009, 10:43 PM

Liked them all, especially #1,#4 and #7.

StrangerNY · 10-07-2009, 12:15 PM

I went with #7 - it completely captured that ZZ vibe. Well done.

Honorable mention - #8. Even though I'm not familiar with the tune, the recording had a nice full sound and the band was tight.

All of the entrants in this category were pretty good, but unfortunately only one can get me vote. #7, you're it.

- D

lpcustom69 · 10-07-2009, 03:06 PM

Not many votes bump.

Splattle101 · 10-07-2009, 10:16 PM

Ba-bump!

rob9 · 10-08-2009, 04:39 AM
