5 points - @poopot (Falling To Pieces) - props to anyone taking on this track, his choice also sent me on a FNM listening spree. Great version of a great track and clearly pushing out of the vocal comfort zone with this one.
3 points - @Bezzer - you have always had the guitar chops, but this is next level! More shred than a confidential waste disposal company and the best part of six minutes, bravo!
1 point - @mrkb - loved the loose feel to this and the cheeky guitar solo, really captures the thrashy style of the original.
Lots of mash ups this month and again a really good range of entries, well done to everyone!
As for me, I spent the past few months wrestling with an original collaboration track that was quite outside my comfort zone which has claimed all of my attention. It is happily queued for release now so I will be entering the next cover challenge with something either well within my comfort zone or not.... (Probably will be though).
- does it move me (make me want to dance, tap my foot, hum along)
- does it make me smile with the unusual mashup/approach
- does it make me go wow at technical ability/production
- is it a great cover version that I love to see a band/busker play live
5 points - FellInLoveWithAGirlInAFastCar - @westford, loved the mashup
3 points - Fooled Around And Fell In Love With A Girl Flying Pie - @flying_pie Id be dancing like a loony to that!
1 points - Far Beyond The Sun - @Bezzer - not my usual type of music, but wow !

5 - @mrkb
3 - @Bezzer ;;;
1 - @westford ;;;
5 points @poopot : yeah I know how this looks, but I know the pains he went to in order to get this track done and I honestly think the end results speak for themselves. Was my favourite of the lot regardless of bias.
3 points @snags : I loved this ... it was like Lou Reed joined Sparks and stole Lemmy's flanger. Made me smile.
1 point @westford : really nice mash up, and cleverly put together.
Honourable muncheon @flying_pie For Whom ... that Rocky Horror / Hammer Horror intro was awesome!
For all of you who have voted for me, are your ears working? Ha ha. I didn't expect any points, I was just rising to the Flying_Pie baiting tactics and woudl urge you all to reconsider for one of the worthier tracks! I'll give you a proper one next go round.
5 points : @poopot : Loved the sound of this. Not sure how I missed hearing the original at the time, which I checked out. A triumph and great cover. Fantastic parting shot from a great talent who will be sadly missed.
3 points : @Bezzer : Bloody hell. Mega shred fest. I think my ears are working and I was impressed.
1 point : @mrkb : Attitude and raw feel, in keeping with the original. Great fun.
