30 Day Song Challenge - Days 15-21

Day 15- Cover song

Love Rollercoaster - Red Hot Chili Peppers 

The Joe Cocker All-Stars: Cover songs that are either vastly superior to the original or just completely original musical arrangements 

Joe Cocker "Get by with a little help from my friends”, “You are so beautiful”, “The Letter” and “Feelin’ Alright” 

He’s the king of the “Cover where the band makes it there own”. 

UB40 is a great example of this with “Red Red Wine” - which is a PERFECT COVER in my opinion

Rod Stewart was really good at this as well. 

Boyz in the Hood By Dynamite Hack - another great example 

Take on Me - Reel Big Fish - another great example 

In Bloom - Sturgill Simpson  

Ryan Adams “Wonderwall” and like 10 other songs by him 

Johnny Cash "Rusty Cage” 

I will Survive by “Cake” 

Gin and Juice - The Gourds 

You Really Got me - Van Halen (honorable mention to Diamond David Lee Roth for “Just a Gigolo”

Smoking in the Boys Room - Motley Crue 

Land of Confusion - Disturbed 

Covers in which you thought they were the Original 

Whitney Houston “I will always love you” All-Stars  — This song isn’t even great — SHE IS JUST SO TRANSCENDENT and her voice is impossible to explain with words 

Me and Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin Cover by Kris Kristofferson 

Urge Overkill “Girl you’ll be a woman soon” 

Nirvana "Lake of Fire” - really any of the covers off of the unplugged   

Gary Jules and Michael Andrews "Mad World” 

Take me to the river - Talking Heads — THAT WAS AN AL GREEN JAM???? I’ve since really enjoyed learning of this Jam and now think the original is pretty fire in it’s own right.

"It’s my Life" No Doubt

Most overrated bands/performers of all time

places listening: Philippines, Australia, Indonesia, Canada, UK, UAE, Russia (high vladimir), France, Ireland, Brazil, Switzerland, Mexico, Iran, New Zealand, Trinidad & Tobago.

top cities: Ashburn, VA, Seattle, WA, Charlotte, Alingaro Philippines, Dubai, Brisbane, Montreal, Karang Indonesia, Auckland NZ, Carmona Philippines, Monterrey MX and plenty more 

Red Zone Channel is marvelous — there’s no game I’d rather watch on it’s own, instead of watching 7 hours of the Red Zone channel passively. 

Tom Coughlin owns Bill Belicheck like Matt Damon owned Teddy KGB in Rounders.

Rap beef with Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly ( Mac Miller // unfortunate comments made about his demise and a rap beef from Curtis Fingers)

Post Malone, G Easy

people essentially have come in at different periods and ruined genres of music — jazz, the blues, disco (bee gees, are we finally at a point in hip-hop, in which the next generation of performers go to a different genre?

Inherently every overrated artist is classified as “pop” - because you really can’t be overrated if nobody collectively knows who you are. Is that fair? 

So, i’m not sure we need a pop category — but i think 4 quadrants of music are worth placing people in

The Foo fighters are properly rated — I had them as slightly overrated, then saw them live and realized they are so great live that i had underrated them — i think they’re properly rated.

Legends = Includes Classic Rock, Hip Hop, Country, Singer Song writer, Etc:  Pre 1991

The Doors, Bruce Springsteen, Kiss, The Ramones, Pink Floyd, Eagles

Can we quickly discuss the hot take cindy harrington had, related to your disdain for Bruce Springsteen

Steve Perry alledgedly has a new song — I’m shocked and amazed at this news 

Alt Rock and Newer Rock

Stone Temple Pilots are overrated but Scott Weiland is either properly rated or under rated 

What’s your thought on Sublime / Bradley Nowell ? Properly rated 

Limp Bizkit (3 dollar bills ya’ll was ok), Godsmack 

Linkin Park 

Green Day??????

Blink 182? 

Radiohead 

Dave Matthews Band 

U2

Bob Dylan

Hip Hop

Pitbull (as an entertainer maybe not, as a rapper… yup)

Warren G

Kanye? (Not as a producer)

Soulja Boy 

Akon - was replaced in like 20 mins 

Lil Wayne, Beastie Boys??? That’s a hot take! 

Country / Boy Bands / Teen Sensations / Etc 

Britney Spears, N’Sync (Here’s my hot take on this one, no Justin Timberlake, that band would have been less successful than 98 degrees and O-Town. Amy Winehouse, Carrie Underwood, Toby Keith  

Rosco’s list - Dr. Dre. / Mary J Blige 

1992-2015 — anything in 2016 -now is too in flux in my opinion. 

2018 Rock Hall of Fame Nominees - Analysis

Breaking down the 2017-18 rock & roll hall of fame nominees

Asheville / Hi-Wire Brewery also props to High Five Coffee (best bagel sandwich i’ve had south of the Mason - Dixon Line

Places listening - 2nd place The Philippines and  3rd Place Australia // 

Top Cities listening Holden, MA / Boston, MA / Ashburn, VA and then Kilburn Australia

Tales from Vegas

Larry Flynt $10 million for info on trump impeachment

It takes guys who literally don't care what people think (Eminem and Larry Flynt) to take down a guy who will literally do and say anything

HBO’s The deuce - the main characters all coexist in a crime laced world already - what are they going to do to make it dramatic?

Here's a question for you to ponder - what the first crazy thing that's gonna happen on “The Deuce"?

I'm not counting "candy getting beat up and robbed" and going into porno as a big deal! I'm talking like mob issues for Franco or one of the main pimps dying etc

My pick the 2 ladies who are stealing money and are in a bit of a relationship are gonna kill a guy or something... or something happens to the NYU drop out - Abby

Pats are 5-2 but 3-0 on road which is the main reason I'm hopeful they're still a legit contender

Steelers D seems to be tailor made to stop chiefs, and the Pats typically have Steelers number. Pats can't like their chances if they see KC chiefs in playoffs

Rosco P of Drilling 3’s and his solo project “the way out” 

Places listening - the Nation of India #2 and United Kingdom is #3. Top Cities listening the City of Salem, India is #1 - congrats. Ashburn, VA #2 and

Bon Jovi is not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame - Any hot takes Andrew? 

LL Cool J is nominated.  In or Out? Rage Against the machine is nominated. In or Out? 

Rosco will you explain to the listeners about fat Gavin and also why you miss fat Gavin so much

Fat Gavin flashbacks/ fat Gavin's favorites - new section of the filibusterfreestyle.com website

Essentially when I have a cheat day or just slip up - I gotta document it and go for broke

Main categories are wings, but when applicable nachos, pizza, sushi, seafood towers, any type of self service buffet

Plus I'll rate some dirty Martinis and beers perhaps

LL Cool J did more for hip-hop then almost anybody else — he helped make it commercially viable. he pretty much invented the slow jam with “I need love”.

Going Back to Cali, Who do you love, "Doin’ it" and Mama Said Knock you out — murderer’s row of jams - plus Around the way gift, Headsprung, Hey lover, Phenomenon, Rock the Bells… my goodness he’s greatness in a can — and he’s been a TV star for like 20 years

Rage Against the Machine — too original, too politically relevant, too talented to be left out — invited Rap Rock and nobody really ever touched them

Tom Morello is a handsome Vin Diesel
