Covers by Gus Black
I rarely like covers but Gus is just amazing. He's one of my favourite musicians and it makes me a little sad that hardly anyone knows him. I took this chance to spam him =p. They are all youtube videos and I hope you'll like them =).
I discovered Gus Black several years ago while randomly picking up one of his cd's in a music store. I have loved his music ever since. This will probably make me sound quite stupid but I heard his versions of the 2 songs below before hearing the original ones. I'll be the first to admit that I'm a cover idiot. I never know when it's a cover =p. I love both the original songs but I also like how Gus translated the songs into his own style. When I saw him live he sang both songs with only his voice and an acoustic guitar and it was amazing. When a song is great without all the extra stuff, that's good in my book.
Paranoid Black Sabbath || Gus Black
(Don't Fear) The Reaper Blue Oyster Cult || Gus Black
