This McClintock guy is great. I always thought there must be some reason for Slayer to exist, and its his mashups.

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Not one of my favourites, the Pink Panther remakes were so bad that you ended up rooting for the criminals.

I've been listening to this a lot lately for some reason. Granted it's not great, half of it is pure filler, but title track is probably my favourite of his solo songs. Shoot It, Hammerhead Shark, Dogtown Shuffle and Sensible Shoes are also good, though the latter was a weird choice to follow up the...

I loved the first Belladonna-era Anthrax records back in the day, but nowadays it takes a lot of effort to listen any of them through. Queen is another one, I got into them hugely after Mercury's death and the tribute concert, heard enough of them then and so far there's been zero desire to revisit ...

Do I Creep You Out?

Yoda

Perform this Way

Amish Paradise

Almost every one of my favorite records has at least a single dud:

Getchoo on Pinkerton
Heaven Can Wait on Bat out of Hell
Rocket on Hysteria
Title track on Heaven Tonight

Best thing about that song is that it inspired the infamous "You're invited but you weigh a ton" quote from Mick Mars after Vince's Jet Ski accident.

There's a lot great ones, but I'll go with Bad Medicine.

Lynyrd Skynyrd. Pretty much every 70's american rock band with flannel shirts, beards and moustaches that predates Van Halen fits the bill.

Agreed, great track. "Standing on the Shoulders of Giants" from their latest effort is one of the best I've heard from them. On the whole I've found them to be pretty average, though.

Weezer - Pinkerton
My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade

According to last.fm they are:

Bruce Springsteen - Ghosts
Bruce Springsteen - Thunder Road
Bruce Springsteen - The E-Street Shuffle

I've never actually watched an entire Bayley-era Maiden show from start to end even though there's no shortage of those on Youtube, only selected bits here and there and they were enough to convince that Bayley was very out of his depth. But thanks to Bernie, his rundown of this gig was probably muc...

The Nomad and The Mercenary were also VXI leftovers. You can easily imagine Bayley bellowing the latter one out of key.

The album closer, "Como Estais Amigos" is the best one here. So naturally, it's the only one they never played live. The Angel and the Gambler sounded OKish on the single edit, but the album version is just laughable in all its repetitiousness. Futureal is awful. Stupid five penny riff, w...

There's only so far you can get with a tone deaf singer and his limited range.

Tunnel of Love is just awesome. When it comes down to guitar playing, that's definitely one of my all-time favourites. Number of tasty licks and fills throughout the song plus that outro solo, still there's not a single note sounding out of place on that one.
