the difference would be that jimmy buffet is trying to the have same melody and timing and guitar parts as dave. all hendrix did was use the the lyrics from the previous fosong.

How exactly is jimmy buffett trying to have the same timing as Dave? He's a good enough musician to be able to do that easily if he wanted to. It's clear that this is a COVER. I'm sick of people saying stupid shit like "Oh, Dave doesn't play that note the way you played it on your cover." No shit. It's a cover. If I wanted to listen to a song the way Dave Matthews plays it - I would listen to Dave Matthews play it.

jesus you guys, no it wasnt the quality wed get from dmb. but still another famous artist covering one thats still often played and heard of, infact prolly more famous than themselves is pretty cool. yeah the vocals were off, guess what its jimmy, he doesnt care, hes not about that. no one goes to a JB show to be wowed by his voice. its a decent cover though the vocals are messed up oh well.

i didnt mean to say that i cared about the timing...some people in some posts before mine said that the timing was off in the singing of it...i assumed that meant he sung the parts differently than dave. i noticed it a little bit but it seemed to be just like when dave spices up the lyrics hell hold one part and go quickly though another...
so they were sayin that buffet wasnt singing it exactly like dave

and thanks for backin me brock...buffet isnt trying to be exactly like dave...and just like you, if i wanted to hear a song just liek dave, id go listen to dave

I was soo pissed when Keller covered Tripping Billes and calls Dave a pop god, he may have turned into a pop god through time but it really seems that keller was making fun of him. Anyone agree?

and dave is not pop...pop is the backstreet boys, n sync, and destiny's child
dave is popular, but not pop (even tho pop may have come from that word)

do you have a recording of that cover?
