You guys may like them or not, but I just posted them for a little change from all the metal invading.
Fuck yes, I've spent so much time on youtube just listening to their covers. Then when I think I finally have enough, I spot another awesome song they've done. My favorite from them has to be their Wonderwall and U2 covers.

Most arrangements are pretty bad sadly I guess its just harder on those instruments They probably don't have a lot of time to learn and practice them either, since they have to do so many

Then again, you don't have a lot of harmony to work with for songs like "Back in Black", and they probably wanted to appeal to the original band's fans, so they don't change them very much.
Sounds really fake, except for the bad timing in some songs, though it's a nice idea and works well on some songs.
