Soundgarden loves my favorite song.

Good cover, Chris' vocals are just friggin' awesome here, but Budgie's original packed more of a wallop!

@Brown92SG I was thinking the same and not knowing how to say it without offending the Chris Cornell's fan-club.

JOHN FOGERTY!!!

I have to say that this cover made me want to listen to Budgie more than Metallica's covers did.

@TheBigMclargehuge well your free to think that, but they are really so different one, they are more metal and more orginal than that. so to me they are nothing like zepplin. zep was a huge radio band budgie more underground. plus i think bourge and shelly were there own music ,own creation.peace bro.

@TheBigMclargehuge I think it helps to understand the reality of the situation. Pentagram can't write Sabbath, and Sabbath can't write Pentagram. Approaching the composition of a song with this attitude has made me far less intimidated by the wealth of great Stoner / Doom that's already out there.

@DoomMetalSludge By "this" I was referring to "the author" which I believe is totally a lifted zep song, which I mentioned in my first post. Sorry, didn't mean to spin the Wheels of Confusion hehe. Anyhow, exactly.. Pentagram was way ahead of modern era Doom, but they were probably doing exactly what you and I do.. They were sitting at their instruments one day thinking "DAMN I wish I wrote The Writ".

@TheBigMclargehuge You hear Zeppelin in this? I mean, I hear Sabbath Master Of Reality (This album actually came out a month before MOR!) but I agree with the evolution thing. Thats why I get pissed when people dismiss bands like Pentagram, Saint Vitus, and Sleep as Sabbath clones. The more you listen to them, the more you realize they don't sound like Sabbath really at all other then a few parts here and there. Its all about adding your own element to the music.

@DoomMetalSludge Certainly. But this is one of those cases where it was clear they were listening to one song trying to write another just like it. (straight down to the heyyyyyyy girl). I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. John Christ wanted to do a riff like in Zero the Hero, and you got Her Black Wings. Matt Pike was trying to do Hole In the Sky, and we got The Druid. It interests me how music evolves, it's these little copies that can gradually become a whole new species.

@TheBigMclargehuge I don't think its far to generally say every band copied each other. I mean sure, they probably lifted some stuff from each other, but Rock music was headed in a heavy blues oriented direction anyway and I really think that the bands just happened to sound similar in some cases due to this.

@mdelair420 Honestly I think most of what budgie did was copy Zeppelin. And I mean shamelessly copy. I've been meaning to do mash ups for some time now. They still wrote some sick music, no doubt.
Is there a complilation where I can get all these SG songs on CD?

Kim Thayil has the rights to all the b-sides, so he's in control of when the CD gets released, which should have been after A-sides. That was ten years ago, and I came across these on the internet and I'm not sure if B-Sides will ever get released.
