Shatner cover poll.

[ted]

I say if you are going to cover something do it better.
Who could do it better?
William Shatner covers Black Sabbath on new CD - MSN Music News

cool!

[Jared at Pelican Parts]

Everybody covers Iron Man or Paranoid.

How bout something different, like Symptom of the Universe or Fairies Wear Boots?

On the other hand, his cover of Pulp's Common People was pretty damn good.. In fact, his whole collaboration with Ben Folds was surprisingly good (and dark).

I hope to be as cool as he is at that age.....

It's a two disk set, he covers like 20+ songs, you should hear his "spirit in the sky"

My favorite Sabbath cover... War Pigs, better than the original:

CAKE Music Video "War Pigs" New song! - YouTube

Auto-tune is his friend. It is amazing how his off-key singing is made to sound half way decent with the use of modern technology. I say thumbs up!

Ben used to hang out (along with his brother) in a local college bar (music venue too)...I'd give him hell about that . Talented dude (and I used to work with his mom). I remember telling her the day after the debut of the Ben Folds Five (same bar) that I thought he was "on his way", despite being an untraditional three piece band (baby grand, stand up bass, and drums)...a talented songwriter for sure and he sure knew how put on a good show back then!

It's his best singing performance ever.. Though that doesn't mean **** in his case.

Yes, the "Has Been" album was really good!

Common People cover duet with Joe Jackson was great.



Same with That's Me Trying with Aimee Mann of 'Til Tuesday (she has a great voice)

I honestly thought this thread would be about his cover, as in his toupee
