I think you mean Disturbed's cover of Genesis' Land of Confusion.  Unless System of a Down covered another song of his.

Being a long time fan of Genesis....I like Distrurbs version....they did a great job...and, I dont think I am to old a fart, although I have been following Genesis since 1972......<br><br>"I might grow old...but I'll never grow up"....is my motto.]]></content:encoded>

Now someone from the USA and born after say about 1975, that doesn't surpise me at all.  Jeff is pretty (actually very) reclusive.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Who's Jeff Beck?  No really, I haven't heard of him, seen him or heard his stuff.  What band is he in?

He is most famous for being in the Yardbirds -- same band that also had Clapton and Page for a time. He was one of the fusion innovators. Has appeared on a lot of other people's albums as well. <br><br>Lately, his stuff varies from spacey blues to hard crunching rock to metal to edgy jazz-fusion. In the technique area, he is known for being the master of the trem, slide and going pickless. He is the sort of player that people like -- well Clapton and Vai look up to as one of the innovative electric masters. <br><br>Wikipedia entry: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Beck">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Beck</a><br><br>Youtube (notice no pick) ...<br><br>In current band with Jennifer Batten:<br><br>What Mama Said: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp6B6eu-cD4&amp;NR">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp6B6eu-cD4&amp;NR</a><br><br>A Blast from the East: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk42NryqcKI&amp;mode=related&amp;search=">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk42NryqcKI&amp;mode=related&amp;search=</a><br><br>Declan: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI5CCEwnkE8&amp;mode=related&amp;search=">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI5CCEwnkE8&amp;mode=related&amp;search=</a><br><br><br>This is just plain hilarious:<br><br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nLdhXZb_z4&amp;mode=related&amp;search=">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nLdhXZb_z4&amp;mode=related&amp;search=</a>]]></content:encoded>

I missed out on a lot.<br><br>And to change the subject, a lot of these kids today have discovered their parents music collection. My 13 year old has all the hip-hop stuff, sure. But, I often have to go on a CD hunt into the dark bowels of his bedroom to find my CDs when I'm looking for one. I have the same conversation with many friends of mine with same age childeren. One of them even had to get the Allman Brothers box for his son for Christmas. What I'm trying to say is that it isn't as bad as some people think.<br><br>And then there's an occasional jewel like that System Of A Down(?) cover of that Phil Collins tune.

Some things are left unforgiven!  :wink: <br><br>As for taste vs soul I disagree...having soul means that even if you don't like a song/band you still respect it because of the emotion put into it. <br><br>I am not a huge classical music fan but I respect it because of the emotion it creates in people...it has "soul" and it's longevity speaks for itself. Newer songs tend to peak and then almost vanish...almost mechanical sounding. I don't "dislike" rap but I respect the older rappers from the 80's much more..the emotion was in their music.]]></content:encoded>
