Battle of the Bands: Simple Man Results

 Shinedown as I suspected won this battle four to two over the Deftones. Shinedown's version was a more commercial success. The Deftones were described s an experimental metal band, so it was humorous to me that their support called them the mellower choice. 

Let's celebrate with Shinedown...

                                                      Shinedown "Monsters"

"Second Chance"

Well putting on my thinking cap for a new battle in five days!

Battle of the Bands: Simple Man

My Battle of the Bands this go around features Lynyrd Skynyrd and their song "Simple Man."  

 

My contenders feature a Metal Band versus a Rock Band.  One version is a popular cover the other less commercial. A battle with a few contrasts. 

Deftones "Simple Man"

Shinedown "Simple Man"

The normal rules apply. In the comments you tell me which cover you like the best. You can expand and tell me and my readers why if you like. I sometimes quote voters or find inspiration for future Battles from the comments. However the main purpose is to decide a winner. After I count up the votes in a week or so I announce the winner in a future post. A pretty simple process.

I hope you enjoy the Battle and I will be back soon!
