Heroes (2024): D/115
This is my cover of David Bowie's song - Heroes. I listened to many covers...like Wallflowers, Hollywood Vampires with Johnny Depp singing (Depp was a musician before he bacame an actor), Motorhead with Lemmy (R.I.P.) singing and chose a cover by Andy Timmons. Andy restructured parts of the song and added a great harmony section (at the 3 minute mark) as well as an instrumental ending. I restructured this to fit me and decided to make this a full guitar version without any keyboards or synths that were on the Bowie original. It gets to Rockin` pretty good. I relied heavily on my Ebow and you can hear it throughout the whole song...sometimes licks & leads and sometimes droning backgrounds.
