will never not be fascinated by bands that like, re-record their old hits with the band's current lineup.

it's a case where it feels *close* to what you remember hearing but still feels off in some way.

this is especially interesting during the Guitar Hero/Rock Band music game boom, where oftentimes they'd just use a re-record because the original studio masters were unavailable or lost.

it's a fascinating rabbit hole to get lost in, tbh

after posting these toots, I tried to find the re-record of Tommy Tutone's 867-5309/Jenny that Rock Band 3 used, but with no success

honestly I feel like I could write more about this because I can't be the only one who finds this fascinating

@TonicBH that song came on during lunch one day last year and somebody at the table said "augh,i hate country music, why'd they make a country cover of this song?" And it was the original song.

i feel like that's more damning of country music not having its own sound anymore than anything wrong with the song itself.
