[Andrew]

Album details on my frntpage under The Northern Kings (from Finland).

[L~L~L]

I like it.

[Uno_up]

I like it.

Yeah...Chris De burgh is back!!!

[journeywoman]

I started off like my old pot days and then it totally kicked ass! I like it Andrew!Journey should take a look at this take on their classic.

[Andrew]

well, if you are going to re-record old hits, you may as well change them up a little

But not like Bon Jovi did with "This Left"...that sucked. No win situation really! If a band was to do that, they should bring in some independant, but intelligent ears and take some advice from that person....hint hint....hahaha.

[L~L~L]

It kicks ass and the beauty of it is he doesn't sound like or try to be Perry and they aren't trying to re-live the 80's, very cool cover.

[journeywoman]

Oh Drew I do know where you are gong with that.Let's hope they take that advice they need it if they pull this one off.

[Granny]

Drew, very cool version...I liked it alot.

[texafana]

hmm..I like the music, but doesn't really sound like a cover to me, it needs fresh lyrics and it could be a new song in it's own right.

[stevew2]

It sucks,they are playing the wrong chords behind him, they are all minor chords,sounds depressing, Arnel could at least do better.Shit I could do better,dosent sould like the same song. Hearing that version makes me want to blow my fucking brains out. It really sucks big time

Are you saying there's a better Journey cover band than the cover band named "Journey?" Guess I'll have to go read the front page!

[Just Sara]

It reminds me of the first time I heard Twisted Sister sing "Oh Come All Ye Faithful"

I loved the instrumental bits but it's not DSB. The lyrics don't match the mood of the music. It could be good with original lyrics.
...
Did that make any sense?

[annie89509]

Oh, my lord. That's terrible

[ForceInfinity]

Omfg, its like I'm listening to that fucking Dragon Force song on Guitar Hero 3 with the lyrics of DSB

[nikki]

I don't like it. It's too busy and musically it's just all over the place. Some songs don't need to have covers done...this is one of them.

[Perrydise]

Well, let's just say ...INTERESTING.

[NealIsGod]

Well, let's just say ...INTERESTING.

Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. I'd like to hear that band's take on Mary Had A Little Lamb next.

[Eric]

No

but at least its different.....

[Rip Rokken]

3 listens straight in a row -- different, but pretty cool! I like it!

[NoMoreTails]

Like Kevin Shirley??

After posting the question I went on to find Lora's confirmation in another thread....

[CatEyes]

the opening keyboard riff (one of the most recongnizable ever) and one hand is continually late.

what is with the chromatic key changes? affectacious to me

"born and raised in **Squeek** Detroit

No.

Cat

[ProgRocker53]

Intense! I enjoyed it.

[Arkansas]

I love the song and all the changes, but the lyrics no longer fit it. The music is like some epic battle theme, not a Journey love song.
Sounds very progressive European, like Royal Hunt, or Iron Maiden with orchestration...maybe Saga, or TSO.
It's cool...in it's own way. Use the music, lose those lyrics and it'd be even cooler.

Btw, it appears there are other covers => http://www.myspace.com/northernkings
Check out Billy Idol's 'Rebel Yell'. Talk about interesting goth...


later~

Wouldn't that be equal to actually writing their own?

[SF-Dano]

Liked the music. The lyrics definately do not fit. Like someone earlier said sort of Iron Maiden/Royal Huntish.

Definately sounded 80's ish to me. If that didn't sound like 80s metal, I don't know what you guys were listening to back then.

I'll give it a 3 out of 5 for being "interesting".

[*Laura]

I dunno...Sounds a bit like a TSO song.
It sure is an interesting approach,but...It's hard to dig it as long as the classic version is etched in my mind.
A fun listen nonetheless.

,they are playing the wrong chords behind him, ---they are all minor chords,----sounds depressing, ,----dosent sould like the same song.

in know,, if your going to change a song that much then some of the lyrics will just have to be updated,, " just a small town girl .................i killed her on a midnite traiiiiiiiiiinnnnn" or something..
