Battle of the Bands Results: First tie, First shutout

The first Battle of the Bands is in the book for 2020. The first artist to be shut out is Nadja Kossinskaja. She is better known as a classical guitarist and this was more of  an experiment, getting out of her comfort zone.


                                                           "Oblivian"

Ironic that both Ritchie Blackmore and Steve Morse have gone toward classical directions at some point in their careers. The original got a vote. One for Deep Purple, maybe I should have pitted Ritchie versus Steve.

The toss up was betweeen a Reggae Led Zeppelin cover band Dread Zeppelin and the heavy rock of Metallica. 

"Good Times Bad Times"

"One"

A well known song and quite a bite of variety. Putting on my thinking cap fpr the next battle on the 15th.

Battle of the Bands: Smoke on the Water

Sorry for posting my Battle of the Bands a little late in the day. I decided to ring in the New Year's in New Orleans and took the scenic slow ride back home along the Gulf of Mexico. It was a good way to say good bye to a rather unkind 2019 and welcome in the roaring 20s.

Most music lovers know the iconic riff of Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" and most guitar shops ban you from playing it. We don't ban songs or riffs here!

We know the song now we need the competitors.

Starting off going heavy with Metallica

Contender Two:Nadja Kossinskaja

Contender Three: Dread Zeppelin

Let's go with three choices. Metallica, a classical guitarist crossover with Nadja Kossinskaja , and a reggae cover band Dread Zeppelin.

Vote for who you like in the comments. I will count them up. Now let me play that riff!
