I’ve recently started listening to System Of A Down again. Only the first two albums though. Anyways, while on my System kick I remembered that they covered Black Sabbath’s “Snowblind,” and it’s really good. So here you go!
System Of A Down- Snowblind:
Black Sabbath- Snowblind:
Since last year I’ve become a Marilyn Manson fan again. His newest album The Pale Emperor is one of his best albums ever. Not to mention one of the best career resurrection albums ever. So with all that in mind it got me thinking that I should look into all the songs that Manson has guested on and share them with you all.
Godhead- Break You Down:
Emigrate- Hypothetical:
Linkin Park- By Myself (Remix):
Skylar Grey- Can’t Haunt Me:
DMX- The Omen:
Well since they announced their return I thought why not do a dream set list for one of my all time favorite bands.
In regards to the “reunion” I am just going to say this. I do want to go see it. I don’t care if it’s bad (which I’m sure parts of it will be). I just want to go to the show with some good people and hear the songs and sing along. Considering that Appetite For Destruction will be 30 years old next year, it’s about damn time these guys did this for the fans.
Here are the rules:
Rule 1: maximum 25 songs
Rule 2: What line up of the band would it be
Rule 3: Where would you want to see the show
Lineup: Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy, Steven Adler (for The Appetite Songs), Matt Sorum for the rest.
Venue: Forum (Los Angeles)
Set List:
Welcome To The Jungle
It’s So Easy
Mr. Brownstone
Civil War
Yesterdays
Sweet Child O’ Mine
November Rain
Live and Let Die
Pretty Tied Up
Dust N Bones
