Let’s face it, everyone loves a great cover
version, an artist taking a classic song and putting their own unique imprint
upon it. All of your favourite bands
have done it, in some capacity or another, through reinterpretation or a straight
forward identical performance. For
example, some will love the Type O Negative cover of “Black Sabbath” and will
be applauded for their ballsy reinterpretation of this Black Sabbath song,
however conversely, it may seem misjudged and a step too far. What
is clear, is when a great track is done right, the band covering their
influences can often open the gateway for fans to seek out the back catalogue of the band being covered, Blue Oyster Cult and Fu Manchu included.
Today we offer up a ripping
cover of “Godzilla” by North Louisiana stoner sludger Boudain, a track notably made famous by Blue Oyster Cult, but also recorded as a tribute to Fu Manchu too, who also covered this classic song. “Godzilla”
is taken from Boudain’s ripping new album 'Way of the
Hoof' set to drop on (20/4/16) and can be ordered here. So what you waiting for? “Go, Go Godzilla,”

Hoof” track Listing:
