I wonder if this band is still active because I haven’t heard of them in a while now.

This riff takes you back doesn’t it?

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.

How smooth can a bassline get?

Well this smooth apparently…

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…

The video got a bit out of sync in the end…

Coincidence? Maybe…

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 ;)

Although this band has much more iconic songs, this song is my personal favourite.

Maybe the guitar player has a lot to do with my choice…

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…

I forgot I had recorded this one.

It’s recorded with a low tech rock band usb microphone so the quality isn’t that good but the song is so you’ll be able to guess it in no time.

Is there anything not epic about this song?

Off course not! The artric monkeys did it again with this song!
