Ole 55"..Eagles..Tom Waits did original.

Don't know if I posted this before, on a live album, Hell freezes over? Don said Tom hated our version until the royalty cheques came in.

Tom Waits, a great writer but that voice, an acquired taste. Jersey Girl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j- the best cover.The Boss'.https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Never liked Aerosmith's version leff.

Slower than the original and the whole fun of it is the recklessness of it. You shouldn't be hearing the notes all played cleanly and individually; all about the pull offs. And they kill the middle too. Van/Page version far better. My band plays it pretty regularly and it's one which we'll push back if we think the people are up for it. Guarantee if it's near the end of the set then it's lightning and I better be ready.

Only at local level fox. Tried it in my youth but touring's a bit sh!t really. Still waiting for someone to realise I'm the new McCartney and make me a millionaire! Their loss!

I prefer EMF's version of 'Search and Destroy' to the original Stooges recording.
