Been plenty of talk, and amazingly diverse at that, of music lately. I had to set this aside.
This is one of these cover songs where you hear it, if your knowledgable about at least who the 2 artists are, that you expect pure and UTTER DISASTER. This thing is absolutely a crazy and insane cover by a Young Metal band just making a name of their own and covering a Lady GaGa song. First off like her or not, I personally do not, like Lady GaGa has an extremely powerful and unique voice. Being labeled a Female singing Phenom, Lzzy (Elizabeth) Hale, you've taken on Heart and Zeppelin but GaGa? Big chance and it paid off with a phenomenal result that is catching people's ears! Made a catchy song that you can tolerate, as long as you don't hear it over and over, into something that pleases the ear of a Hard Rocker.

That's cool. She heavied it up but they still played it pretty straight. I'd like to hear more guitars. I didn't know they were the band that played "I get off," heard that one a lot last year.
I'm so sick of Lady Gaga I could make sick. Great voice and talent for the mainstream pop stuff but go away for a while already.

Doesn't help that she is smokin hot too. Been listening to Halestorm for awhile now. They are playing here in Orlando at Earth Day Birthday soon.
Staind, Godsmack, Chevelle, Halestorm, Trivium, Theory of a Deadman, Taproot, Pop Evil, Soil, Falling in Reverse, The Used and more bands to be added.
Also check this cover out. This is her doing Acoustic Heart cover.
Here's another gutsy Heart cover by a Dutch Symphonic Metal band After Forever. Anyone who tries to cop Ann Wilson (Lzzy Hale does quite well) is taking a chance. This band tends towards pretty heavy music but stayed pretty true to the style the song belongs in, with some slightly more intricate piano work!
Symphonic Metal is much like Progressive Metal. A band that sits on the fence between the two is Evergrey who most call Progressive Metal. So many forms of Metal these days it's hard to label anymore for me. I would throw Evergrey into Symphonic Metal but, as an example, the wiki page will list bands like Nightwish and Epica Symphonic while Evergrey, Fates Warning, and Dream Theater are Progressive. It's no secret Dream Theater has alot of "Symphonic" sounds and stylings in their music so I'm at a loss to define it

All is quiet on the duel2 front so I'll take the time to connect these 2 posts (Tripwire's and mine) with the singer from my post's latest band ReVamp's debut album featuring a duet with Russell Allen from Symphony X who sings in Adrenaline Mob as well.
ReVamp - Sweet Curse (duet with Russell Allen of Symphony X)
It's interesting to me that in America, Australia, and England the young female "Diva"-voices go into Pop but in Mainland Europe and Scandanavia, especially, they go into Metal... and not always just Mainstream Metal but the heavier forms of the style (Nightwish, Epica, Octavia, After Forever/ReVamp, etc.).
As an example check out this video with 62M+ views:
This is their 2nd singer, now Floor Janssen of After Forever/ReVamp is filling in as they look for a 3rd. Here's this, Anette Olzon, singer's original band, more AOR-style Metal:
In Brazil and Europe these bands headline 50k+ shows but in America they do 100 seat clubs. We just assume Metal is dead but in fact it is reaching a new height never seen, even in the 80s, across the world. It's expanding into many new variations.

An interesting interpretation of Highway Star from the Tribute Album Re-Machined. This one is a limited edition as Chickenfoot does Highway Star on the album but this is added on a limited basis. Glenn Hughes voice is phenomenal even at age 61!
Glenn Hughes, Steve Vai, Lachlan Doley,and Chad Smith - Highway Star
