As long as I don't hafta set up the Kurzweils any more. I think they build those things out of the same stuff Shure builds the SM58 out of. Then, they fill it with concrete. 

I've often enjoyed remakes of songs.  Re-imaginings are something entirely different, and I don't always like them, but usually find them interesting, whether they're serious or just someone messing around to see what they come up with.  This is the latter.  I don't hate a lot of this.  It doesn't all work, and there are spots where it would've been better served to not stick so much with the original and just let some of it go for the sake of the re-imagining.  But quite a bit of this sounds....pretty good.  The first one in particular, Sweet Child O' Mine, is almost good enough that I could believe this was an actual thing in the 80's if I didn't already know the original.  The songs which were originally ballads, Don't Cry and November Rain work the least well, and I wish the guy would've found a way to fit it into the slower songs 80's synth-pop bands actually did.  Not everything the 80's synth-pop bands did had the mid-tempo bubblegum beat, but it's really all he used here.  

Most of you will probably hate this.  Don't care.  I think it's interesting.
