Somehow, it just seems wrong. Much like the cover of the Wall by "Luther Wright and the Wrongs". It is just wrong. I try to be open minded, but,...Edited By mgambrus at 3:26 am on 2/10/2003

Yeah babeeeee! BLUEGRASS ROCKS! (so to speak...)

Nice little nugget to have in the mix now and then. Great cover, even if the original is a timeless classic.

There's a whole series of instrumental bluegrass covers of some pretty famous acts, such as: "Pickin' on the Rolling Stones", "Pickin' on Hendrix", and even "Pickin' on Zeppelin", which actually makes sense, given J.Page's use of the mandolin.

Yee haw! I'm down with this version. I'll add another voice to the chorus of those who'd like to hear a bit of Hayseed Dixie on RP. Bringem' on!

A little fun, sure--reminds me of Hayseed Dixie, a bluegrassish band that does nothing but AC/DC covers. Hilarious.

In this case, I'm trying to keep an open mind to frivolity, but can't get over wishing it were the original playing.

Hrm. I guess if you don't find this version "fun", then it just sucks. Edited By Blackjack at 2:32 pm on 12/10/2002

You are right, it does lose something. I love the original - it was one of those tracks that made the acoustic guitar seem sexy. But this version is quite inspired. A great example of the timeless quality of some Jagger/Richards songs.

This is very nice. An interesting cover (and as always, I mean "interesting" in a good way, not as a subtle dig).Edited By holborne at 9:15 am on 10/10/2002
