Metallica, Nirvana, Hozier, and Ed Sheeran Keeping It Traditional

Metallica, Nirvana, Hozier, and Ed Sheeran Keeping It Traditional

Practically new.

If you want to impress your friends, your date, and the guy recording the entire show on his phone while trying to dance, yell out [TRADITIONAL] at your next show and see what happens. Don’t laugh – next to The Beatles and Pink Floyd, the most popular tunes bands cover are those from way back in the day.

How far back are we talking?
