The week Rages on, and so do the Showdowns.
It was clear from the very start that the showdown between Johnny Cash and Depeche Mode was going to be a close fight, with neither ever leading by more than a few votes, and ultimately it ended a 19-19 tie that solved absolutely nothing. Congratulations folks, you broke the system. I hope you’re all pleased with yourselves. You’ve ruined Christmas.
Today we’re going to have ourselves a little cross genre action as Rage Against the Machine covers Cypress Hill’s debut single “ How I Could Just Kill A Man.” The two groups are known to have had great respect and admiration for each other. Cypress Hill !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! with Rage during Rage’s final concerts in 2000, and Cypress has occasionally performed the Rage version at their own shows since then.
Cypress Hill - (1991)
Rage Against the Machine - (2000)

It feels weird liking RATM’s version more. Must be because I’m getting older.

It’s the guitar and bass that sells it for me

Unfortunately, that is the only thing really going for it...

Speaking of which, one of these rounds I need to do an instrumental song

That could get interesting. Without resorting to classical, how many options are there? Do musicians in the modern era (1950's on) cover other musicians instrumental songs? It seems to me that Jazz may be a genre that would have the most candidates but who knows.

Cypress Hill, music I used to listen to that I wouldn’t mind listening to again 20 years later.

Never heard Cypress Hill’s version before. I... actually like it better.

Finding an instrumental piece performed by two (recognizable) artists will be a challenge for sure. I might have some luck with things like Wipeout, Jessica, Cliffs of Dover, Misirlou, or something by Santana. I could also cheat by using an orchestral piece like Requiem for A Dream. I'd love to do Frankenstein or Orion, but I doubt I'll find any covers of those

I just remembered hearing a metal cover of ‘Flight of the Valkyries’...

Lots of good Vitamin String Quartet covers of famous songs.
