I knew that one (1) was there for a reason.  This should be played at Ozzie's final
send off .

If there is not already, there should be an automatic trigger programmed into this web site that permanently deletes a song from the archive when it goes below the mendoza line of 5.0.  Come on guys, almost there!

Not recognising  the original, for me, this version doesn't suck, it doesn't blow, it doesn't stink, it doesn't - oh sod it, I quite like it.

Clearly, YOU have failed to properly mentor your colleague. Get cracking!

Why not? I find most all covers intrinsically interesting, even if they try to be an exact copy of the original.

I think the song works with sitar and the other instruments they're using.  But I have to forget about the original to open my mind to appreciate this version.  Try it!

This really blows.  Blasphemy.  Out of curiousity I listened to some of their other tribute songs, they are even worse.  Bet Ozzy worked up a few good slurred 4 letter words over this.

Naming is calling, Scott. Looks you've invoked the angry leaden-metal gods. (Note for posterity: Bill followed this with Black Sabbath's "Paranoid.")

I'd love to hear more Bhangra on RP, but not this mélange. I don't think you can Bhangrafy HM, and anyway I've never been a fan of BS. Nice try, but no coconut.

Took me a minute... then the lightbulb of recognition went on suddenly.  My initial reaction was "cool", but as it goes on I am no longer convinced.  Perhaps they should have taken even more liberty (if that is possible), sections where I no longer recognized it at all, then drifting back to the familiar melody.  A for effort, but only a solid 6 on the old 1-10.

I'm sure they did. . . on a number of levels.

Anyway. Love this track but I think they missed adding some cowbell.
