Rooster


Inspiration sometimes comes from the strangest places. RoHo mentioned the rooster in a post this week. Made me think of the Alice in Chains song of the same name. Didn't seem a likely cover target, but I still managed to find 2. One is on an Alice in Chains tribute of which details are very vague. Can't find anything about which artists appear on it, only about how incredibly bad it is. The other one is from a tribute 'Smells Like Grunge Spirit'. Looks like an interesting concept in which bands cover various grunge bands. Not sure whether Manic Street Preachers and Smashing Pumpkins can actually be classified as grunge, but one song definitely stucks out like a sore thumb : Pretty Fly for a White Guy, originally by the Offspring. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Offspring is an Orange County neo-pop-punk band who have as much to do with grunge as Frank Sinatra???
