I love Evanescence! I have a lot of their stuff, including the Acoustic version of Bring Me to Life. In fact, as I'm a fan of Acapella music (no instruments whatsoever, all instruments sounds by hand, with some finger/body/foot percussion in addition), my all time fav is the BOCA (Best of College Acappela series) Bring Me to Life by the Octopodes of Johns Hopkins University. Search for it on iTunes ("Bring Me to Life BOCA")--it's # 2 on "BOCA 2004: Best of College A Capella" (how iTunes and the album spell it). I'd give a link to iTunes, but don't know how. The Youtube version of the group doing it is not terribly good--poor sound, but here it is (again, the album version is wonderful, and highly recommended):
Another good acapella song is "Rolling in the Deep" by Mike Tompkins, although there he's doing all parts (with recording) rather than it being live with a group. His video shows how he does it, with all the parts: . Acapella is not really beatbox, which to me is just the percussion part, it's the whole symphony.
That's an interesting song, the second you posted, Lamron, with the 200 bpm percussion. But that's way too fast for me. And for good fast guitar work, my fav these days is Joe Bonamassa. EG., .
Thanks for the music education, Lamron. Are you a musician,too? Wow, if so, I had no idea, all these years.
Nice find on the Zep cover, Lam. I'm sorry about the Rolling in the Deep video. I don't recall it being out of sync. Maybe there's a better version of it, maybe the original from Mike himself.
Don't know much Gaga, and never heard of PMJ, but I do know and like Marie Digby. Thanks for sharing a nice video. I do a lot of Pandora, with my favorite people as their own channel. My latest fav is ZZ Ward. Give her a try! In fact, try this one: "Move like you stole it" And here is a 30 min performance, starting off with "Put the Gun Down"
The album versions of these are heavier on rock and roll and are nice! These acoustic cuts are good too!

The internet lets lots of talent get exposure that might not have ever been "discovered" by traditional record labels. There is so much good stuff out there that you can only enjoy a small percentage of it.
The constitution wasn't perfect but it was better than what we have today.
When I started the video, I was thinking that even though feral hogs are a destructive nuisance, I hope they go over after the explosion to responsibly finish off the injured ones. Then I saw that that would NOT be an issue! Bacon bits!!!
