I read about this on the noticeboard this morning. Rocknut mentioned that "Pour Some Sugar On Me" reminds him of how the song might have sounded without Mutt's input. Rocknut's opinion is that the CD is pretty good if you're open to it and not stuck on the "sacriledge" of some of these songs being redone. And I must say that when I saw "Bohemian Rhapsody" on the list that was the first thing to come to mind.

I will buy it. Nice twist on some of the songs, it will be a fun listen.

Thanks for this. Love it and ordered it already. Not sure if I like the Journey cover too much, but so far "Pour Some Sugar" and "Free Fallin" are awesome!
