While not the breathless experience of the originals, is a fine tribute to Cradle of Filth. It’s cool to hear 13 bands try to sound like Dani’s many voices.
Covers. This record is all covers. Great White has always been a cover band. Their main hit, “Once Bitten, Twice Shy,” was a cover, though they did it well.
Greatest Hits captures many of the classics from the first couple records (Dirty Rotten EP and Dealing With It), and probably some of the Crossover shit.
A higher echelon of has-beens assemble here to rock Ozzy tunes, replacing Ozzy’s trademark vocals with their own. Ditto with some well-respected axe-meisters.
The fifth release by Spiders & Snakes, formed by Lizzie Grey, a former member of London (with Mötley CrĂĽe’s Nikki Sixx and Mott the Hoople’s Nigel Benjamin).
No techno remixes, no third-rate death metal, but no real pep either, Snakebites gathering guys with thick metal resumes to romp through Coverdale’s classics.
A lot of these singers were second-rate to begin with, and that was a long time ago. But some put in performances that take a decent rocker and make it theirs.
