What a great version of the old Bad Company classic...

Respect for covering a great song...but this version...thumbs down. You don't turn an amazing classic song into a gruntfest.

If I'm covering "Bad Company" in my perfect dream world, I'm getting Paul Rodgers to guest on at least part of the song and I'm keeping the soulful, vibe-y feel with updated production values and guitars way up front, but NEVER tuned down to "wet fart" as I once saw it so accurately put. I understand that's not what FFDP are about, but still...you don't smush a classic song under your growly, baritone, boot of nu-metal.

I normally don't comment on things like this but in this case I was moved. Carry on.

I understand your point of view, but i thought they kept the melody and gave the song a real edge.

I expected to hate it, but I dig it.

I thought these guys were cookie monster vocalists.

How about a little Texas flavor?

Btw, Jon Inmon (stage left guitar) is one of America's unknown greats.

I was expecting Bruce Lee or something.
