Megadeth - Trust

This is a live performance by the American heavy metal band Megadeth playing the song “Trust” live. The performance is from the band’s 2005 concert in Argentina which is one of their best concerts ever. It’s available on DVD and I highly recommend picking it up, because it’s just an awesome performance.
The song was originally released on the band’s 1997 album “Cryptic Writings”. It was released in both a Spanish language and English language versions. In this live performance Dave Mustaine sings a bit of both versions. It was hugely successful, got a lot of airplay on MTV, and to this date it is the band’s most successful single. The song was also nominated for a Grammy award.
It’s a great song and a great performance. The Argentinean crowd is just amazing, one of the best crowds ever. This really makes this an amazing performance.

The Doors - The End

This is a live performance by the American rock band The Doors they play the song "The End" live from the Hollywood Bowl.
The song was originally written by Jim Morrison about a break-up he had experienced, but through months of playing the song live it evolved into a 12 minute opus. The song was released in 1967 on the band's self-titled album. The song would close the band's sets after it's release.
The song's sound comes from guitarist Robby Krieger using a double drop D guitar tuning and and using a harmonic minor scale resembling Indian and raga based music. The crescendos John Densmore plays on his drums also resemble Indian rhythms.
It's a great song and it really has a very interesting set of lyrics very open to read in to.
It's a great song, by a great band.

Carl Perkins & Ringo Starr - Honey Don't

This is a live performance by American rockabilly musician Carl Perkins with Ringo Starr on drums and vocals doing the classic rockabilly tune "Honey Don't".
The song was originally written and released by Carl Perkins in 1956 as the b-side to "Blue Suede Shoes".
The song has been done by a lot of different artist, but most famously probably the version by The Beatles. This version was released in the UK in 1964 on the album "Beatles for Sale". The song was originally sung by John Lennon during live performances, but for the record version Ringo Starr did the lead vocal. He also recorded the drums by the way. He has performed the song, both with his solo act and later at the concert honouring George Harrison, released under the title "Concert for George".
On another side note, the publishing rights to the song is actually owned by Paul McCartney's publishing company "MPL Communications".
Other people who have covered the song include: Johnny Rivers, T. Rex, John Lennon, and Elvis Costello.
It's a great classic rockabilly tune, and Starr delivers a very good double shift playing drums and singing on this.

Metallica - Am I Evil?

This is a live performance by American heavy metal and thrash band Metallica playing the song "Am I Evil?". The performance is from 1998 in New York.
The song was originally recorded by the British heavy metal band Diamondhead. It was written by Sean Harris (singer) and Brian Tatler (guitarist). It was originally released on Diamondhead's debut album "Lightning to the Nations" in 1980.
Metallica who were big fans of Diamondhead would play this and many other Diamondhead songs at the beginning of them playing together. The most widely available version by Metallica is on their 1998 "Garage Inc." double album which consists solely of covers. Diamondhead has said in interviews that they are flattered by the cover done by Metallica and that the royalties from the song have been beneficial for the band's continued recording and touring career.
It's a great and heavy song, and a great performance by Metallica.

Aerosmith - Sunshine

Aerosmith - Sunshine by Dihtag
This is the music video to the song "Sunshine" by American hard rock group Aerosmith. The song is off the group's 2001 album "Just Push Play". The song was written by Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and song collaborator and producer Marti Frederiksen.
The song's lyrics have a lot of allusions to the Alice in Wonderland tale, as does the music video through a visual medium obviously.
"Sunshine" is a street term for LSD, and the lyrics mention eating the mushroom which can have a LSD-like effect. But on the other hand the lyric "Sunshine, the kind that everybody knows" may suggest other wise.
A good and descent song with nice melody that is very catchy, and has a good video. A really good Aerosmith song.
