"An excellent Tribute Album! Starts off w/ a great rendition of Deuce by none other than Lenny Kravitz/Stevie Wonder. Stevie does excellent job on the harmonica and fits well surprisingly. Long time KISS fan Garth Brooks does an awesome version of Hard Luck Woman w/a close likeness to Peter Criss's original version. Anthrax of course shreads on She great guitar work by Scott Ian. The Gin Blossoms do an great version of Christine Sixteen and that wraps up Side:1. Side:2 is just as effective starting out w/Dinosaur Jr's version of Goin' Blind,then a great bluesy version of Strutter by Extreme, followed by The Lemonheads version of Plaster Caster and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones version of Detroit Rock City is one of the best complete w/dual saxaphones doing the "guitar solo". But to me the best tribute is Yoshiki's classical arrangement of Black Diamond, he adds depth to a great song and does the song absolute justice without diluting it. One of the BEST TRIBUTE ALBUMS EVER!"
