Marcus Miller playing Purple Haze:

Just seems basically wrong. I'd never question the man's abilities, just the appropriateness of 'covering' this song.

Perfectly okay by me. I don't feel any music is so precious that it can't be covered by another artist from a completely different musical genre. It wouldn't bother me if someone did a reggae version to be honest.Miles Davis covering Michael Jackson and Scritti Politti...who'd have thought it! Each to their own.

I expect this sort of thing from Flea.

I like the way the guitarist is sort of rocking out for the solo but is kind of bad at it, like its a bit new to him. Rock seizure.

I've seen that guitarist before, he always does that and it always annoys me!

Was expecting to hate this cover version but actually quite liked it.

That was horrible. Take some of the notes but none of the balls of the original, put it in cardigan and play it in a lift in a nursing home and that's what you get.

The guitarist is Dean brown. He always looks rather strange when he plays. Great player though, he's been Marcus' guitarist for a few years. This video must be a few years old anyway as Don Alias is on percussion and he passed away in 2006.

His covers are usually great- Frankenstein, Boogie On, Burnin Down The House etc.
This one isn't one of his best- at least it allows him a funky solo in Em. Love that slightly broken sound he gets.
Is it just me but every time I see Dean Brown play I think of Damon Hill??
