First order of business: a Guns'n'Roses cover band composed entirely of Britpop stars! (Louise from Sleeper is so Duff.)

kinda shifting the gear of this thread elsewhere, but there seems to be a glut of these mega-talented Youtube studio bands who record videos of themselves recording near-sonically perfect covers of pop songs, down to every detail. yeah, it's pointless to a degree, but kind of fascinating.
like this sounds almost exactly like the original from Chicago 17, for example:

Fairly rude thread derail, IMO

it was either that or start a new thread for a very niche topic that would have gotten two or three replies at best, and a thread that hasn't been touched in 19 years, soooo...what?

not sure if yr taking the piss or what but I was interested in talking about this youtube phenomenon and had a new thread queued up and felt it pretty pointless and there was zero other thread I could find that got as close as this one

(sorry, I’m totally taking the piss – thought that would be readily apparent)

I actually do think this is interesting enough for its own thread, fwiw…

Well if we're talking Chicago covers, the Russian band Leonid & Friends is choice.

They've branched out into Earth Wind & Fire and other horn bands.
