Cowboy Song (Anthrax Cover - originally by Thin Lizzy)

[discontinued]

I must admit that the first time I heard the song I just thought it was an 'OK' song... but, boy has that song grown on me... Anyone else?

 

[TD]

....because I grew up on that brand of rock, so I actually remember hearing "Cowboy Song" in a fairly regular rotation on WEBN 102.7 in Cincy ( I spent my early/formative years near Cincy) "Cowboy Song" was Thin Lizzy's "other" hit. Everyone remembers "The Boys are Back in Town" and "Jailbreak" but less people remember "Cowboy Song," and another good tune that is less remembered (but now everyone knows it because of some shitty band from Frisco) is "Whiskey in a Jar." Thin Lizzy is a great band, if you aren't too familiar with them, I recomend picking up a compilation from these guys. Rock back when it was real.

It's one of my favorite Anthrax covers!
I e-mailed Scott about a year ago and asked him to play it live.
He didn't reply to that.

"Roll me over and turn me around... let me keep running till I hit the ground. Roll me over and set me free.....THE COWBOY LIFE IS THE LIFE FOR ME!!!

Anthrax covers the best fuckin songs......

Sure, Anthrax covers some great songs. But they also make some songs great by the fact that they have covered them.

I wonder if I'd actually enjoy a Backstreet Boys song if I heard Anthrax playing it instead?

N.F.F.-

I can't believe you just planted that seed. My daughter's listening to Bye, Bye, Bye by 'nsync and I'm trying to imagine what it would sound like if Anthrax covered it. Damn your eyes....

And I don't want to take any crap from anyone about letting my girl listen to that music. She likes boy bands. She thinks my music is weird. She thinks I'm weird. She says I have too many Star Wars toys. Where did I go wrong?

(actually, Bye, Bye, Bye wouldn't sound half bad.....)

I'd rather hear Anthrax sing an Nsuck song than Nsuck sing an Anthrax song.

The day I hear nsync sing "Caught in a Mosh" is the day I will have to kill them. And I'm damn close already...

 

[Jeffasin]

How about Anthrax onstage with nsync at the Superbowl halftime show?

(although, seeing them onstage with Britney wouldn't be half bad...sorry Brat...)

Some punk band covered "It's gonna be me" by N*Sync. It's pretty funny.

 

[Jeffasin]

I heard a punk version of one of Britney Spears' songs once, but I can't remeber the song and I never caught the name of the band who did it, but I remeber it was pretty fucking funny....

Anthrax covering a Thin Lizzy classic? Hmmmmmmmm looks like I will have to check Audiogalaxy tonight for that one!

Weezer covered Britney's "Hit me baby one more time". It's pretty funny.
