The Lonely Ones cover Queen's Flash massively

Normally I'm not into posting covers. I think there's so much great original music out there that we should focus on. Don't get me wrong. Playing a cover ain't easy at all but I love to see musicians adding something of their own to the cosmos of music. And a massive number of you guys out there does this indeed very well.

The cover quickly tells you what this is all about.

As of today this is a exception. The band The Lonely Ones created a cover of Queen's well known "Flash" in a way that is hard to beat. They must have taken massive efforts to get it all together. 

While the core of the track is left untouched and the soul of the track shines through it's carefully opened up to a powerfull level. At the same time some fine and harder to hear fine moments have also been put inside. Just follow the video carefully and you'll see and hear it.

 
Even Brian May (Queen) and Sam J Jones (Flash Gordon, The Highwayman) took note of the cover.
 
Brian May was quoted as saying, “What a fantastic cover ! I didn’t realise they were going to go into The Hero and the whole reprise ... magnificent !"
 
Sam J Jones adds, "This is one of the best covers I have ever heard and seen. What a gifted group - The Lonely Ones are for everyone of us, from the 1980’s to right now!"

Saliva cover Eminem's Lose Yourself

Cover songs can be fine stuff when done properly. Sure it's not easy at all since you not "only" need to infiltrate the classic track but also need to add a own touch to the music so something new and fresh calls to the attention of the listener.

Eminem's "Lose Yourself" grabbed my ears back in the day with it's furious and constant vocal performance power and permanent movement of the crowd in the video that came with the track.

These days Multi-platinum and Grammy nominated hard rock group SALIVA have picked up just that song and turned it into a straight high energy rockin' number that will pump you up for tonight's party. But it also breathes the spirit of the original. Along with it comes a cover sleeve also reflecting on the origins of the original plus adding some Saliva extra to it.

You can listen and purchase this special treat over at iTunes or have a look on Google Play.

Saliva are also currently hitting the road in the US with a special offer for all the young attenders of their shows. They have been adding a special twist to the performance of their well renowned hit “Click Click Boom” by bringing youngsters (ages 11 – 12) on stage to participate with them.

SALIVA lead singer Bobby Amaru says of the kids joining them on stage, “I always fantasized when I was a kid about being on stage with a band! I believe it makes them feel special. It's already a cool thing that their parents take them to rock n roll shows but to be able to have that experience takes it to another level for them. They are the new generation”
