MikeJD 0 #30 November 10, 2010 Although 'the kids' usually haven't been around long enough to realise it, 99.9% of all new releases are covers. Fact. Well not really, but you know what I mean. Always makes me laugh when someone posts a YouTube comment saying how a 20 year old version of their favourite band's new song isn't as good as the 'original'.

The Who were playing at a festival where I live, and the kids were amazed that these old guys would play all the NCIS themes plus they would also sing Limp Bizkit tunes I loved Pete Townshend's introduction when arriving on stage : Hello!!! We come from another place, we come from another time... You weren't even born yet !!!
