Cortez the Killer is one of the very top tier rock songs ever imo. This was a phenomenal cover of it in terms keeping the vibe of the song with some great additions. 10/10.

Had a chance to meet J, Lou, and Murph in Charlottesville, VA about10 years ago. My wife and I were making a weekend around their concert at the Jefferson Theater. They were all so chilled out and super-nice. Literally ran into them in the middle of the street after they had done their sound check. Couldn't have been nicer. Of course, I was totally geeking out, and losing my shit, but they were all super-cool.

@chadinfinitum1411

Do you play an instrument, do you write, are you creative, or do you just hate? It's not my place to judge anyone other than the impact that they have made on my life. Jimmy Page might not be a perfect human being, but who is? He wrote some of the best music I've ever heard on albums like "Houses Of The Holy," and "Physical Graffiti." He's spent the majority of his life out of the public spotlight minding his own business. I was calling out Les Paul for overcharging for his guitars . . . how did you take this somewhere political? You do realize that you have no control over the government or the world around you . . . no, obviously you don't. Your vote doesn't count. The president is just a figurehead . . . or have you not figured that out yet? Focus on your life. Be a good person, have gainful employment, support your family, and if you can find it inside yourself, enjoy some good music when you hear it if you're not creating your own.
