Gemini 5 – Babylon Rockets – Review

May 24, 2005

Glam rock pokes its head up, and rockers beat it back. Just cuz Backyard Babies toured with Social D doesn’t mean you can come out of the closest.

Covered in Filth – A Tribute to Cradle of Filth – Review

July 2, 2003

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.

Great White – Recover – Review

May 17, 2002

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.

D.R.I. – Greatest Hits – Review

February 15, 2002

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.

An Industrial Rock Tribute To Judas Priest – Review

June 4, 2001

Methinks these things exist just to rile the increasingly Perry-skunked mullets of Priest fans, and ooh boy, mission accomplished.

Bat Head Soup – A Tribute to Ozzy – Review

September 1, 2000

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.

Spiders & Snakes – London Daze – Review

September 1, 2000

The fifth release by Spiders & Snakes, formed by Lizzie Grey, a former member of London (with Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx and Mott the Hoople’s Nigel Benjamin).

Snakebites – A Tribute To Whitesnake – Review

June 1, 2000

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.

Leppardmania – A Tribute to Def Leppard – Review

June 1, 2000

My problem with this kinda thing is it’s all the same half-wits who have no place else to go and can’t seem to get on with it.

Covered like a Hurricane – A Tribute to Scorpions – Review

June 1, 2000

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.
