Thumbs up for the "orignal-ness" of this cover (is that a real word??). Not sure I could listen to a whole disc full of this type of thing though. I do really dig how they did the guitar lead...pretty close to the original, with a much different tone. And it sounds like a violin or a synthesiser (spelling?) for the second part of the lead...or actually, the whole thing may be something other than an actual guitar. I've listened three times now, and I really can't tell for sure. The ending shred is definitely guitar...but the middle lead?

Very different, and very cool. I mean, if you're gonna do a cover, why not pay homage to it (the guitar lead), but yet, make it something totally different (the entire song!) ??? Well done on this particular track.
