Thunderstruck

[Tom Campitelli]

Because I need a break from watching squatting videos, I present to you AC/DC's, peace be upon them, classic Thunderstruck and a few covers thereof.



I am consistently impressed with 2Cello's video cover. It must have cost a fair amount of money to film it and it is funny.



Luca Stricagnoli's classical guitar cover is damn creative, too. The way he mimics the rest of the band with just the guitar is cool.



This Steve'n'Seagulls video starts with a guy riding up to the camera on a lawn mower while holding an accordion. Legit. The vocals are arguably better than the original, too. Heresy, I know.

The 2Cello's: HO-LY SHIT, I have no idea the talent required, but I find that amazing.

The 2Cellos version is cool. I am all but certain there are more than two cello tracks in there towards the end, but if I am correct we'll give that to them. Who doesn't like a little distortion on their cellos? I have a feeling they have to have a lot of spare bows around.

How many horses must go naked-tailed in winter due to those guys' spendthrift overuse of horsehair? Won't somebody think of the horses?

[Tom Campitelli]

You have a point. This verges on animal cruelty.

Are Steve'n'Seagulls actually the Hayseed Dixies? I know they did a lot of ACDC covers but can't find their version of thunderstruck anywhere, only stuff like Highway to Hell and the sort, that's why I'm asking.

Cleaner, clearer? Sure. Better?! This is high treason indeed, comrade.

Please choose one video for us to watch

Let's face it. When Brian Johnson is going for the first few lines in Thunderstruck, he's not quite getting there. His voice is pretty annoying. I will say, however, that he sounds pretty good on Rock or Bust. I don't know if that is because of digital magic, or if he actually sings better now than before.

No idea, but I bet Google would have the answer. The only thing I know about them is that they are Finnish.
