Speak of the devil (mentioned them a moment ago), Puddle of Mudd are sending their cover of "Gimme Shelter" to radio on August 8th.

I have a weird feeling that this'll go #1 on active and Top 20 on alternative.  |

No it flopped, for a Puddle of Mudd lead single at least.  It peaked at... *checks Wikipedia for Billboard peak* #6 on Mainstream Rock Tracks and #26 on Alternative Songs. |

I doubt this goes that high, Dev. I can't see it making any dent on Alternative.

Skip immediately to 0:56.
Anyway, I hope I never hear this inevitable abomination.

... which is weird 'cause I've seen them in interviews stating their love of Alice in Chains & Mad Season. This is like Wolfmother releasing a compilation of Grunge covers. 1. "Gimme Shelter" - The Rolling Stones 2. "Old Man" - Neil Young 3. "TNT" - AC/DC 4. "Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around " - Stevie Nicks with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers 5. "The Joker" - Steve Miller Band 6. "Everybody Wants You" - Billy Squier 7. "Rocket Man" - Elton John 8. "All Right Now" - Free 9. "Shooting Star" - Bad Company 10. "Funk 49" - James Gang 11. "D’yer M’ker" - Led Zeppelin |

I can wait. But I always felt the lead singer reminded me of Paul Rodgers. The two songs Rodgers sang originally on this disc might be good. But I don't imagine I'll ever hear them. I can't wait to hear them butcher Rocket Man. |

Sigh. I was expecting one of the most hilariously awful covers of all time but instead got a subpar karaoke version. A huge disappointment.

Honestly, this is a lot better than most if not all of their original songs. There's no real incentive to listen to this cover over the Stones' original, but they certainly didn't butcher it.

This one didn't really click with me. Either way, I can't see it going too far.
