toymaker Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Amazing song, with a killer Lifeson lead. The Trews guy doesn't nail it. Not nearly as passionate, and not even close to the right tone. Edited October 25, 2018 by toymaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nearly as passionate, and not even close to the right tone. I don't think he was trying to nail it. I think he was trying to interpret it, and from that perspective I think he did a fine job.

Tony R Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 what a shit song to cover. there's only about 100 better songs. didn't bother to listen to it. No sure it’s meant as a straight cover but I don’t know anything about this band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he was trying to nail it. I think he was trying to interpret it, and from that perspective I think he did a fine job. I guess it's why I generally don't see the point of covers, that are practically the same approach except for the solo bit. Either do a significant re-interpretation of the song or save it for the pub gig. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushFanForever Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) Despite criticisms about the guitar solo on The Trews cover of 'Cinderella Man', the same could be said about Artok's cover of 'Subdivisions'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5GtXbL7Z5k The guitar solo on that song isn't the same as what Alex does. Another related example is guitarist Eric Johnson who performs on a lot of the Experience Hendrix Tribute tours. I've never seen a guitarist like Johnson try to be so precise with nailing Jimi Hendrix's guitar parts and sounds live. This is despite Hendrix being an improvisational guitarist and coming up with sounds as happy accidents that are hard for others to recreate. There are purists that hear cover versions of songs want them to sound like the originals. Then there's other's who welcome creativity and originality.

MalformedEarthborn Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 That subdivisions cover sounds like if every member of Rush had a massive hangover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
