Title: "God Only Knows" as covered by Avenged Sevenfold - Links
Post by: guitarfool2002 on August 28, 2017, 11:14:22 AM
Mentioned in a general music thread, here is the link and an article to check out. Pretty cool to see GOK going into another genre and fanbase...and it's a pretty damned good cover, I'd say!

Brian's music will never fade away and will continue to inspire.

Avenged Sevenfold is, IMO, one of the better young bands on the hard rock / heavy metal scene.   It's pretty cool to see them pay tribute to The Beach Boys, to go along with other covers they've done by Iron Maiden, Pantera, and Black Sabbath among others.

Alan appreciates it too (with thanks to Cool Cool Water):

"Listen to Avenged Sevenfold cover The Beach Boys' God Only Knows and so cool to see a heavy metal band be respectful of Brian Wilson, The Beach Boys and Pet Sounds #BrianWilson #TheBeachBoys#PetSounds #AvengedSevenfold"

Good cover. Their version of "Runaway" sounds pretty cool as well...

I expected the worst but was pleasantly suprised. A tasteful cover.
