Motörhead - Killed by Death

This is a live performance by heavy metal band Motörhead playing their classic song "Killed by Death" live.
The song was released in 1984 on both 7" and 12" vinyl. It peaked at #51 on the UK Singles Chart. The single also had a music video, it's pretty cheesy, but pretty hilarious as well (click here to check out the music video). The song is credited to: Lemmy, Phil Campbell, Würzel, and Pete Gill.
It's a great song, straight forward rock 'n' roll with a lot of sexual innuendo in the lyrics, great song and performance.

Enjoy ; )

Bee Gees - How Deep Is Your Love

This is a live performance by the remaining members Barry and Robin Gibb of the group Bee Gees performing the classic song "How Deep Is Your Love".
It's a pop song obviously, but it's from the era of good pop music, so it's okay. The song was originally recorded and released in 1977 on the soundtrack to the film "Saturday Night Fever". Also it was released as a single on vinyl. It did very well on charts in both Europe and USA. And it is #20 on Billboard's All Time Top 100
It's been covered by a large number of artists. My favourite cover, not better than the original, is the one done live by guitarist John Frusciante. Embeded below:

He sort of knows he can't really sing it. So he just does his best and somehow it doesn't seem cheesy nor bad, but just respectful to the original. Also love the simplicity of just an electric guitar through a clean channel and singing, this set up really fits the song. So a good cover and a great original.

Beck - Loser

This is a live performance from 2003 by alternative rock artist Beck. The song is from Beck's 1993 album "Mellow Gold", but it was originally released on Beck's own independent record label on 12" vinyl. The song gained massive air play on modern rock station and Beck was picked up for a much bigger contract with Geffen Records who also re-released the single. It did very well and reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 becoming Beck's first mainstream successful hit.
The song came to be as Beck moved back to his home-town of Los Angeles. He was broke and needed to take low-income jobs to survive financially. He still performed in coffee houses and such and to check if the audience was listening he would make up ridiculous lyrics while playing in and open tuning. This is how the song "Loser" eventually came to be.
It's a very good song and a very good performance by Beck as well. He is improvising and having fun with the tune and finally getting a big crowd who is listening.

The Dead Weather - Blue Blood Blues

This is a song recently recorded and released by alternative band The Dead Weather. The band consists of many members who play in different bands outside The Dead Weather most notably Jack White who also produced this song. The single was released as a digital download, but will also be released on vinyl courtesy of Jack White's own record label. It will be released on a special invention; a triple decker record which consists of a A-side 12" record with a 7" record built inside containing a hidden track. To listen to the 7" record, the listener must crack the 12" record open with a knife into two areas of the record which there is no audio and one side can be lifted off, revealing the record which can then be put back together. White created the triple decker record himself and copyrighted it in 2010.
Pictures of the triple decker record:

It's a great little gritty sounding blues rock song, it's what White does best, mixing rock and blues and other genres into something unique and new, gotta love it.
