The Who - Pinball Wizard (Isolated Bass)

Today's video is from British rock band "The Who". "Pinball Wizard" is a single from the album "Tommy". "Tommy" is a rock opera about a deaf, dumb and blind boy and his experiences in life.

The Beatles - For No One (Isolated Keys Tracks)

Another video I have today is yet another Beatles tune. "For No One" is the 12th track, off of the band's 7th album, Revolver. The song was written by Paul McCartney with the help of John Lennon.

Dio - Holy Diver (Isolated Guitar)

Today's video comes from a well known metal artist. Dio released "Holy Diver" as a single in August 1983, and it also shares the title of the album. After the September 11th attacks, the Clear Channel posted this on their list of inappropriate song titles. 

The Beatles - Nowhere Man (Isolated Vocals)

Today's Beatles video is a classic from "Rubber Soul", which is currently my favorite Beatles album. "Nowhere Man" is the 4th track of the album, and is one of the Lennon-McCartney penned songs that is sung by John Lennon himself. But Paul McCartney and George Harrison also contribute a 3 part backing vocal part to the song.

Not Another Beatles Cover Video!

Yes...another Beatles video. My current Beatles kick is going strong, and I've been looking all over the internet for more and more Beatles covers videos to fuel my interest. This one, on the other hand, is a cover that is more close to the source material. The video comes from Youtube user "mattiboo", and is a cover of a Beatles b-side. "We Can Work It Out" from the "Day Tripper" single, to be exact. And while some moments sound a bit off, (That tambourine track...yikes.) I will say that there was a fair amount of effort put into this cover, and I do enjoy it. Matt also has many more Beatles covers on his account, and I urge everybody to check him out.

The Carpenters - Ticket to Ride (Isolated Drums and Vocals)

Today's video is another Beatles classic, as interpreted by another artist, and done well! The Carpenters were a brother and sister pop duo who turn "Ticket to Ride" into a delicate pop ballad. And might I add, it's a bit better than the original version. Karen Carpenter's drum and vocal work in this is very interesting. I love how artists can take a song like this and turn it into something of their own.

The Beatles - Maxwell's Silver Hammer (Isolated Guitar, Drums and Keys)

Recently, I have been on a huge Beatles kick, and that has included me going over some Beatles tunes that I haven't heard yet. (Yeah, shoot me...) One that I have recently grown to love is "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" from the Abbey Road album. The song depicts a serial killer named Maxwell who murders his victims with....well, guess. But this video contains the Guitar, Drums and Keys tracks isolated. Probably my favorite thing about this song is the out there Moog synth track, which the band experimented with a lot on this album. Specifically on this and "Because", a later track on the album.
