Release date is March 19, 2021

This is something I would get, but it's not high priority. I'll pick it up eventually.

Interesting, but I don't think I will be rushing to pick it up on release day.

Yeah, I can't help it: When I look at that track list it just seems like songs that have already been covered to death.

The only thing missing is Born to Be Wild.

They could have made it interesting with more deep cuts. Or cover band they've toured with in the recent years. A novel concept since generally no veteran band covers songs by newer acts. But it is what it is, and I will probably buy this anyway.

I recently heard a interview on YouTube with Biff about this.
His son plays guitar, by the way. His daughter filmed the above video.
He spoke very highly of the bands that the band decided upon.
Immigrant Song - was the toughest - Biff admitted.

The best, most interesting, version of the Immigrant Song that I've heard is by the Dutch progressive super-group Consortium Project:

About 25 years ago.........I was at this very tough bar.
It was a tough place....but nobility showed up too. Boxers. Great gals
Well it was karaoke night....some hot chick belted out Immigrant Song.
I couldn’t believe it. A total show stopper.
The crowd went totally ape sheet.
I’ll never forget that.
What a shocker !
Thee best Keraoke performance I ever witnessed.

A tough place, but had karaoke....

Like already mentioned, typical bands and tunes

Better than another live or compilation I suppose?

I wonder how many times Paint it Black has been covered?

If you didn't do a good job singing, they would beat the hell out of you.

I like listening to music.

Why do you ask?
Why are there so many questions thrown around here?
Are you a cop?

I swear I know nothing about those bones buried in my yard. They were there when I moved in.

I ask why cause it is my favorite letter in the alphabet!
Is there a difference between a question asked & a question thrown?
If I was a cop, would you refund me?
Hopefully the bone wasn't buried in your backyard

Got my copy of this today.. really enjoy it

Paperback Writer - looks the most interesting to me.

I didn't get this yet. Maybe I'll wait till I see it cheap.
