Fan's interpretation of AC/DC's Rock 'N' Roll train
"So, an AC/DC fan hears Rock 'N' Roll train during a video shoot, memorises the riff, films himself singing it and posts it on YouTube. Another works out the guitar chords and a third culminates both versions and adds some screaming vocals of his own. We had this covered earlier this week but such fan dedication deserves another mention. You might catch AC/DC at Reading festival too…" TP

The Cribs and Johnny Marr cover Panic by The Smiths
"Johnny Marr just 'officially' joined The Cribs but, as this video proves, he's been playing with them for a while. The Wakefield band's last album was produced by Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos and features a collaboration with Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo. Add Marr's name to the list and, considering they take the 'anti-scenester' line so firmly, they certainly seem to have friends in all the right places." TP

Otis "Redding" at the Monterey Pop Festival - 1967
"Talk about a man who could really use his voice as a instrument! And what a band he has: Donald "Duck" Dunn on bass, Steve Cropper on guitar, Booker T on organ, and Al Jackson Jr. on drums." JB

The Jimi Hendrix Experience, featuring Noel "Redding" on bass- 1967
"Here's the classic trio making one of their earliest TV appearances. Even trying to contain their performance between commercial breaks, the band is tight and plays with fire. And such snazzer dressers!" JB

Check out this clip of a guy completing DragonForce's song Through Fire And Flames 100% on Guitar Hero. Cries of "why didn't he put all those hours practicing into something worthwhile like learning an instrument" aside, you have to admit it's pretty impressive. I wonder if DragonForce guitarist Herman Li would be impressed? We're interviewing him soon, why not ask him?
