a guitar pick. HAHA
Just a wild guess there

Eklipse

I'm assuming that is a guitar pick belonging to Disturbed's guitarist?

El Fangel

03-22-2011, 08:29 PM

That you got right. It belonged to John Moyer and was the one he used to close out the show, playing Down With The Sickness which incidentally is number 5 :p

I have a guitar pick signed by Willie Nelson...
that's about it. Haha.

Jesus christ, I love how people post youtube videos in music threads. If we wanted to hear the song, we would youtube it ourselves.

I prefer linking youtube videos, I don't really have a desire to 'youtube' something I never heard of before based on recommendation based on plain text ..

These are some of my favorite covers, don't care if I use the same band twice.

El Fangel

03-23-2011, 07:45 PM

How about the name and url instead of embed.

I'm a massive fan of cover songs. I'm writing a research project on cover songs for uni at the moment (well, I'm supposed to be but haven't actually done any of the writing of it yet)

At this moment in time, I'm bumming this though

Oh and I actually really like this. Not a fan of 30 seconds to mars but this is a pretty good cover, feels a bit haunting at times.

I evidently have no grasp on how to post youtube videos but those songs are:

Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen - done by Jeff Buckley
With A Little Help From My Friends by the Beatles - done by Joe Cocker
Three of a Perfect Pair by King Crimson - done by Between the Buried and Me

Jesus christ, I love how people post pictures of guitar picks in music threads. If we wanted to see a picture of a guitar pick from a really shitty band we would just google image search them.
