Hey eelmon: Never heard of Cherry Bomb before. Pretty cool that they are teenagers, but I wonder…does a band doing a cover preclude ANOTHER band covering the same song? I don't think so. How many times has "Superstition" been covered? Maybe a thousand times. At least. A great song deserves to be honored time & again!
bjammin: halleluyah! YOU ARE AMAZING!
jakob synn: The exact same? WOW! That is a very high compliment to say the instrumentation is a as good as the Foo Fighters! I don't think you meant to compliment so I say – BOOYAH.
@sayYES I hear what you're saying. I know Cherry Bomb wasn't the first band to cover Pretender by FF and they won't be the last.
Alan Cross commented, "This is what the Foos sound like with a female vocalist". I was responding to that comment. btw I would have used Neil Young's, 'Out On The Weekend" as an example before Little Stevie Wonder's, 'Superstition'. I have nothing against Stevie he's a great artist and legend but he's not Canadian, lol.
Alan.
Way to keep it Canadian,
but.
Cherri Bomb did that FF cover over a year ago.
This cover is ass. It's just the exact same with female vocals, and not really that good of female vocals
Awesome!!!!!!!!! Love it!
Or there's this version on violin.
Heard this on radio! Cool!
jakob synn: This cover has more magic in it than unicorns making love. I believe you to be in need of a hug and a second listen.
The cover is terrific! Affinity is a super band!
