Who'd a thought that we should outlaw musicians taking chances. Dread Zeppelin got me back into Led Zep, that german dance remix of Highway to Hell made me take my AC/DC CDs out; & yes, Even Yes 90125 (wrong number ? ) made go back to my old Yes albums. Heck, the Great Kat's mosh version of Beethoven's 5th made me sit down & listen to the symphonic version to figure some simple guitar arrangements for parts of that famous tune If you want to take it that seriously, do you wonder how some serious classical or jazz musicians or composers may have felt about "Rock" bands appropriating or adapting their melodies & musical themes for their own ends ?

No. I've just got a different taste than yours apparently. I always liked Ozzy. I've got all his solo studio albums beside the last one.

Cumbia isn't enjoyable no matter in what mood you are..

I don't know if you like Morricone's score for "the Good The Bad and The ugly", but if you do (even if you don't) you would probably die if you hear a techno-cumbia (some latinamerican atrocity that's played mostly on buses) with some reggaeton into it adaptation of the famous melody....I almost faint. Oh, and it's so normal in our countries that themes from movies get massacred in atrocious adaptations... you know, the loooseness in the application of Intellectual Rights....And let's not start with the slaying of classical music....

There's not enough brain any more to creat new catchy tunes, so they have to cash in the old, proven ones...
