Our debate topic of the day:

Don't Fear the Reaper is for the cowbell as Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) is for the electric guitar.

Discuss.




Alternate topic: Stevie Ray Vaughn's note-for-note cover of Voodoo Chile (guitar-wise, anyhow...Vaughn's drummer sounds like a zombie compared to Mitch Mitchell) is:

a) rockin'!
b) a good idea
c) enh
d) a soulless mistake, similar to photocopying the Mona Lisa

Dude, A all the way! I know Jimi is the original and the godfathter of guitar playing but Stevie can definitely hold his own!

I don't know.

I prefer the tamborine to the cow bell though. It's very "Partridge Family".

"I got a fever! And the only cure is more cowbell!"

(BTW, it's actually "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)". Voodoo chile is what I'll be bringing to the potluck barbecue this Saturday...muy fuego..!)

I had a CD four feet to my right, and still got it wrong. *sigh*

Ooooo, that chili...I remember that chili. :)

This is all I have: MORE COWBELL!

I dunno if the cowbell is shone off as well in the former as the guitar in the latter, but it sure is fun.

Definitely d), note-for-note covers are a waste of time.
