Back from the good old days when swag wasn’t a word.
Warren G and Nate Dogg in a G-funk classic. It’s a shame they don’t make them like this no more. Warren G and Nate dogg sound so good together. It’s a shame Nate Dogg died last year because he had a golden voice.
Sadly his heart wasn’t that golden to keep ticking in a g-funk rhythm.

I always have fun playing a song on guitar that’s not intended to be played on that instrument.
I got inspired for my version by the lostprophets who did a nice rock version. They tried to stay true to the original by not changing too much but still adding their personal style and thus making it their own. Never knew Timbaland could write a rock song…

John Fruscianti may be everybody’s favourite red hot chili pepper guitar player but certaintly not mine.
Dave Navarro made the peppers sound more serious and more substantial than ever before and after. I know I’m not making myself popular with this statement but if you listen well to one hot minute you’ll probably be able to follow my opinion. And by following I don’t mean necessarily agreeing

How easy was it?
Who doesn’t know the boss? The man with his band had made so much classics that everyone seems to like it’s almost illegal.
And he’s still going strong…

Is there anything not epic about this song?
Off course not! The artric monkeys did it again with this song!

What can you do when the relationships in a band go bad?
Make a great record to stop the fighting. Rumours was probably the most succesfull album for fleetwood mac and go your own way was an early single from that album.
The song was written by Lindsey Buckingham about the troubles he faced with Stevie Nicks who sings the song. How about that for being akward…

At first I thought they sang about pumped up kids with ADHD but that’s apparently not the case.
Very simple song structure with a nice vocal hook making this an instant hit.

Jamiroquai always sounds funky but on this track they brought out a little darkness too.
The song was made as a soundtrack for the godzilla movie so that’s probably why this is sounding the way it is. Although the movie sucked this song stays one of my favourites.

What an epic song this is.
Nowadays everyone knows it as the song Eminem used for a sample in sing for the moment and I personally hated him for it.
How can you listen to this song (or to a part of it) without hearing Steven Tyler’s mesmerizing vocals. Especially at the end where he keeps hitting a higher note everytime you think it’s not possible anymore.
