    Cover Songs

    Legends covering Legends: Legend dueting a Legendary song with the Legend who originally sang it:
  3. "Magic Man", "Wrecking Ball" and "Bygones" are pretty good, but I didn't care for "Whats Up?" or "World On Fire". ("World On Fire" is not a particularly good song.) That's all I have heard so far, but "Baby I Love Your Way" , "Either Or", and "Stairway To Heaven" will likely be the last songs I listen to. (The first is one of the most overplayed, overrated songs of all time. Do not want to hear the fake Trump-lover Kid Rock. As for the last, I'm kind of sick of Lizzo.) Will probably listen to "Open Arms" next. I know Steve Perry wasn't Journey's original lead singer, but without him or Gregg Rolie, I consider them a cover band.
  4. Regarding the Children In Need short:
  5. I pretty much agree with you about Niecy Nash. I like her, but I find that I watch Feds more for Britt Robertson (Have watched several other shows she has done) and Kevin Zegers than her. Zegers' character was bland but has gotten a LOT better. He was one-dimensional as all-get out when the show began. And Niecy's girlfriend on the show was soooo hard to cast: Its her real life wife.
  6. It'll likely never happen for many reasons, but I wish they would animate The Massacre.
  7. I know. The conference's name will still be weird, because they'll actually be the Big 16.
  8. Colorado going to drop to a lower division?
  9. Look at the shield they show during the clues package.
  10. NBA legend Metta World Peace was the latest unmasking on The Masked Singer. Why mention it? Because his character was Cuddly Monster, and one of the guesses was Draymond Green. The timing of it, and the idea of Green being anything `cuddly' were just funny. (No one got it right, by the way. The other guesses were Shaq and Dennis Rodman.)
  11. Burned out = Have heard so much you're sick of, and have been possibly for a long time. But, it has to be bands, artists, or songs you actually like (or liked). For me, its easy: The band Volbeat and the ACDC song Thunderstruck. I haven't DJ'd online in years, but I got absofuckinglutely sick of Volbeat, because I had tons and tons of requests for them. I haven't listened to anything by them in years, except occasionally the song they did with King Diamond. I may eventually listen to them again, but honestly I'll be happy if I never ever hear Sad Man's Tongue again as long as I live. Thunderstruck for the same reason. It got played too much back then, by me and other DJs. I've heard it maybe twice in the past three years.
  12. Someone on Facebook actually asked if Wentz going to the Rams made them contenders, because they now have two Super Bowl winning QBs on the roster. (The post was written as if he meant this season, NOT in the future.) First of all, they've already got 6 losses. They are not winning the NFC West unless half the 49ers and a good chunk of the Seahawks suddenly get injured or drop dead, and they certainly will not win a Wildcard spot. Second, Wentz is only a Super Bowl winning QB thanks to Nick Foles. Wentz hasn't played in a Super Bowl at all. Third, they definitely need to shore up their defense better. So I have no clue what he's thinking. *edited add* And Stephen A. Smith thinking the Bears should trade Fields to a more respectable franchise. Not sure any `more respectable' franchise would be willing to give the Bears what they'd ask for him. Or if any really need him that bad. (Cardinals might, but they're worse than the Bears.)
  13. I just realized something: Bauhaus and Deep Purple did songs about Bela Lugosi and Vincent Price, Bobby Pickett imitated Karloff in all of his songs, and Lon Chaney is mentioned in Werewolves Of London. But....has anyone done any songs about Karloff or either of the Cheneys? Posted that because its a cool song, AND the video is a pretty good tribute to Price. (Apparently the band members actually knew him.)
  14. Just going to say this: After watching the movie, I was a lot more sympathetic to the French troops, but not so much the officers.
  15. Shedeur Sanders' car got booted by campus police. Before anyone is even remotely sympathetic, he had been ticketed by them before. And the car is a Rolls-Royce. Colorado is 4-6 right now. About one more win than I expected at this point. *Might* beat Washington State, but they won't beat Utah. The Vols are going to get absolutely shelled by Georgia.
  16. Has anyone watched Paths of Glory? its a Stanley Kubrick movie starring Kirk Douglas, set during WW1 and about the French military. I won't give the plot away, but its sadly based on a true story. I can't decide whether it or Dr. Strangelove is my favorite black & white Kubrick film, but I've seen Paths a few times more.
  17. Kills had a shitty ending. ie, the townspeople teaming up and getting killed by Michael, mainly because they take turns instead of ganging up and the former Sheriff can't shoot straight. I especially hated Tommy getting killed off. Then they killed off Laurie's daughter. Ends sucked because Michael isn't even the killer. A much more satisfying ending to the whole franchise would have been to do something like the end of Kills, but with the townspeople teaming up, actually fucking him up, and Laurie delivering the coup de grace. Then dumping his carcass in the shredder like they did do. Instead, we have Laurie basically executing Michael, who is too old and weak to be a massive threat.
  18. I'm more a fan of horror that relies on scares and terror than gore. While I love the Re-Animator, Evil Dead (Ash) and A Nightmare On Elm Street (with Robert Englund as Freddy) franchises, I'd much rather watch an old school Vincent Price horror movie (even the cheesy ones) any day. And the last two Halloween movies were crap.
  19. its a crap shoot when using AI generators to create people, especially getting certain details and accessories right. I used Unstable Diffusion to create a particular wrestler, and after 3 generations (that's 12 images), I said f it and settled for a head shot because the ring gear wouldn't generate correctly at all. If you go to the "Random Wrestling Thoughts" thread, I posted some pictures of Lucha masks I generated using Bing Image Creator on October 10th, and the wrestler I created using Unstable on the 16th.
  20. I said I'd be sorely tempted. Not that I actually would.
  21. At this point, I'd be sorely tempted to take the Georgia Bulldogs or Michigan Wolverines over the Giants if they played.
  22. Bing Image Creator may not be viable for logos anymore. It is messing up text more often than not lately.
  23. I was discussing football with someone yesterday, and neither of us believe the Chiefs make it back to the Super Bowl, but we both agree on the Ravens making the playoffs and disagree on the Dolphins making the playoffs. (I think they will, he doesn't. I just don't think it will be a deep run.)
  24. If you haven't seen it, I recommend Greenfingers.
  25. I want a horror movie where the killer is actually the hero, and all the victims are actually getting what's coming to them. In the vein of I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE or UNFRIENDED. But its not revealed that that is the case until near the end of the movie, and the "final girl" (or guy) that everyone has been rooting for is actually the "final boss". And the bad guy who is actually the hero isn't supernatural, just strong as hell, skilled and royally pissed off.
