I was attracted to them because of the Zappa covers. They need to take advantage of GOOD covers, not songs from kids movies (ie Born to be Wild)...
easy rider was a kids movie?
no....and i think what curephan is referring to is the fact that born to be wild is one giganticly comercialized song, used in all movies, tv shows, commericals, muzak, etc, etc.... however, when steppenwolf wrote it, i am sure they were not thinking, "lets write a kids movie theme tune"...they were probably thinking, "lets write a tune that makes girls panties wet and then lets do blow off of their asses all night long while sucking down a bottle of jack daniels"....born to be wild released in 1968 defined rock and roll.....
I thought all the covers were done exceptionally. ramble on rose is definately the best dead cover they have done to date. sympathy was rocking too, but i was looking for a dead flowers with the whole.
curephan, have you seen the breakfast cover request thread? its got a ton of songs that we all want to see the band do. we all have tunes we would love to see them play... make a banner.... see what happens....
