I'm grateful to Frog for introducing me to this Brazillian duo, Fleesh, when he recently posted their cover of Veteran on J&A:
In the main, it's pretty faithful to the original, and normally, I'd be a bit down on that - I usually want to see a different approach, otherwise what's the point... but these guys interest me - I though having a female vocalist brought something new to the equation, but I was most impressed by the guy who plays all the instrumentation, and he instantly made me think of Richie - someone who can do it all - check out their YT channel and see what you think - eg - here's their version of Comfortably Numb:

Good stuff. I like how they did change the BOC arrangement and riffs, to make it their own version. I like both members. I'm flattered when anybody covers our songs. Feels good.

So Duckbarman kindly let me know that I created a duplicative posting regarding this, and I stress *kindly*. She has a great voice but my only issue is that she's not a native speaker and this is definitely one song where how you sing the lyrics is almost onomatopoeiac (or however that cursed word is spelled). Like the Scorps' "Rock You Like a Hurricane" where Meine sings "last night was shaking and pretty laut!" "Laut" is German and obviously very close to the English "loud" but "laut!" just works in that context whereas "loud" is kinda diminished. Another example is the Polish band cover of Astronomy that's on Youtube. Female singer has an accent, obviously, but it works for Astronomy because it's a different kind of vibe.
Buck, do you have any particular recollections on how Veteran came together in the studio? (Heck, do all your songs!)

Hadn’t listened to that tune in a while. Soooo strong. So BOC. Needs to be played live again !
They really did a great job on it too. Love they chose this tune.
