ECW Extreme Music
[SLAB/CMC International]
Don't tell me you watch those other two so-called wrestling organizations? Only ECW Extreme Championship Wrestling is hardcore and truly rocks! A comp for Joe Rocker/Metalhead turning 15 and ready to burn rubber! After the ECW theme, WHITE ZOMBIE perform some techno heavy metal pimpin shlock, but I guess chicks can dance and shake their tits to it. KILGORE carbon copy Pantera's "Walk" so close, only the slightly lower, slightly constipated singer gives it away. Lower pitched, not as scratchy.
MEGADETH's "Trust (ECW Instrumental Mix)"(the one they play for their Hotline commercial) is actually pretty cool and interesting enough without Mustaine's vocals. Makes me think of the days of the guitar hero (K.K. Downing, Michael Schenker, Rik Emmet).
BRUCE DICKINSON makes The Scorpions' "The Zoo" as energetic and catchy as if when it was originally released. MOTORHEAD cover Metallica's "Enter Sandman". This just sounds like Lemmy singing to the original tune, and it isn't that great. In fact I laughed the first time. Hearing old wartface straining to sing like James Hetfield.
The rest- GRINSPOON (Prong's "Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck"), ANTHRAX (Metallica's "Phantom Lord"), TRES DIABLOS (Dimebag Darrell) ZZ TOP's "Heard It On The X), MONSTER MAGNET (MC5's "Kick Out The Jams") are all fast and cool. The others, MUSCADINE (AC/DC's "Big Balls")gets a laugh or two, puts you in a great mood, like the original. Ending track is Sabu's Theme "Huka Blues", a cheesy attempt blending power chords and Easter scales on a horn. Kind of like commercially concocted acid rock. Very bad.
Nice packaging with pics of each wrestler and a blurb about each track they picked. If you like one of the tracks on here, there's a more than likely chance you will enjoy the others too.
