i didn't think the reaper (stand) version was all that similar to the
original...
i remember listening VERY closely, trying to determine if it was boc or a
cover.
it was only the guitar style that gave me the right answer, thinking: they
can copy the
song but not the style.

also, where was godzilla used in the stand?  i have it on tape and have
watched the whole thing
four times (i really like it) but haven't noticed zilla in there....
