[Danny rctv]

It's true!Did anyone know this?I never saw it my seld but acouple freinds of mine did.It was on Bravo or A&E one those bio specials.Aparently Mr. Copa Cabana was seen on this special showing off his vast collection of every Iron Maiden album & picture disc(He also ahd every album by Slayer)He was taling about Maiden covering "Cross Eyed Mary",He then looked into the camera & said "See?You guys have been making fun of me all these years but little did you know..."That's Hella cool!

That is BRILLIANT! How cool is Barry now!

I've always been a Barry Manilow geek. I've seen him at least 5 times. Hee hee! This bumps him up a couple notches more in my book! :hotjump:

 

[HobbesDawg]

Hehe.

Story being true or not, I always have had respect for him. Some musicians, just blow you away regardless of the music type/genre. For instance, who here doesn't love John Denver? (haha!). Seriously tho, man had a great voice.

Ok I better start running.. I'm worried about eggs being thrown at me now.

Reminds me when Pat Boone dressed up in leather and did a tribute version of Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin.

Dio did backing vox on that one, too. Doesn't quite fit in, but it's still cool.

That whole cd is one of the best big band jazz pieces I've ever heard. While most critics shunned it for its camp value, several were smart enough to overlook the shock of Pat Boone doing metal and at least praise it for the quality job he did.

I personally like Crazy Train. "Crazy crazy train - choo, choo!"

Have you heard Alex Skonick of Testament's instrumental jazz compsitions of Metal classics?It's brilliant!

I haven't. Is it on cd? I am sure it's great because he's such an accomplished guitarist.

 

[Doodoobubbachuck]

Yes, it's on CD. Not sure, but maybe it's available through his website....which I can't seem to find. He DOES have a website, doesn't he??

OK, I got it, and after the initial shock wore off, alot of it is pretty good. Thumbs up for Pat Boone!

 

[Danny rctv]

Anyone heard the Misfits big band rendition of some of their hits?I believe it's called "12 Hits from hell" I haven't heard it my self but I'm sure it's good.

 

[CrankYanker]

Barry's cool and he writes the songs. Hey, what if Barry did metal covers ala Pat Boone? I hope not...

 

[Doodoobubbachuck]

Have I got a pic to post for you all. Just gotta transfer it off my camera and then pester someone to help me post it here. It's a gooder!
