So, who has heard of the four-piece instrumental power metal group Powerglove? This kid has! They do all sorts of awesome video game cover songs, but in power metal that sounds freaking badass!
Or, at least, they used to. Their latest album, "Saturday Morning Apocalypse," contains NO VIDEOGAME COVERS WHATSOEVER. Not even one. It has power metal covers of cartoon theme songs...oh, and the theme from Tim Burton's Batman. Not sure why that's there, since that isn't a cartoon, and there have been several iterations of Batman cartoons to choose from, but whatever.
The closest they get to doing a VG cover is two separate versions of the Pokemon theme song. One without vocals, and one with. Oh, sure, they have Ron Wasserman's amazing X-Men theme, The Simpson's theme, Transformers, Inspector Gadget, "This Is Halloween" from The Nightmare Before Christmas, and "Heffalumps and Woozles" from Winnie the fucking Pooh, and all of the songs are freaking brutal, but that's besides the point.
The point is that they are a band that was supposed to be dedicated to video game covers. They're named after a peripheral for the NES, for gods' sakes. And now they're just making Winnie the Pooh somehow sound cool? This will not stand.
(PS, you get 11 songs for $9.99 from iTunes, and none of them suck. It's a really awesome album with epic cover art. Too bad you won't get it because
a) you won't read this blog
b) you don't have any money, or
c) you are an idiot
or some combination thereof.)
