I think it is due time for another Sounds from the Great White North episode.
On another note. I had what I think would be a cool idea for a recurring post that people might like but I don't want to take on anymore post series right now so if someone wants to take it and run with it that's cool with me.
There is a popular meme on social media called "who wore it better?' where people compare photos of celebrities wearing similar outfits. How about just a simple "who did it better" post that compares originals with really good covers. You can pit the original against the cover and people can vote for the one they like.
Examples: Sweet dreams- Eurythmics vs Marilyn Manson
The man who sold the world- David Bowie vs Nirvana
Hurt- NIN vs Johnny Cash
All along the watchtower- Dylan vs Hendrix
Oooooo that is 🔥 I had thought about something along those lines aswell at one point, but I hadn't taken it on with the amount I'm already doing. But it's for sure worth looking into, I do hope someone picks it up, only the other day was I chatting about covers with @BTC_Bellzer who had an idea for a series about covers. Perhaps they're interested?
"Holy Diver" by Dio is a classic heavy metal song released in 1983. Dio, led by Ronnie James Dio, delivers powerful vocals and iconic guitar riffs in this legendary track.
The band's musical style emerged from the post-punk scene, but stood out due to their heavier approach, and has been cited as a key influence on industrial rock. Their style evolved over many years, at times incorporating elements of gothic rock, synth-pop and electronic music, but always featuring Walker's prominent guitar and Coleman's "savagely strident vocals".Killing Joke have influenced many later bands and artists, such as Metallica, Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden.

Never heard of these guys, great shout Roll. I can definitely hear the progression from them to NIN and Soundgarden like you mentioned. It's strange how so many of these hugely influential bands aren't nearly as well known as the band's they influenced.
don't send me down a Whitesnake rabbit hole, I'll never get any work done! 🤣🤣
Right that does it, I'm off onto the Throwback post. You asked for it, the classic WS track...
