I’m a big fan of the Two Minutes To Late Night covers on their YouTube channel (seek “wrecking Ball” above). They include members of various metal acts (and some surprises) and Gwarsinio Hall, the host. Gwarsinio is quite the mimic, and since they are now recording remotely, couch has become something of a break-out star. Here are some notables: Coheed and Cambria + Mastodon + Primus + Tool + Mutoid Man Cover RUSH’s “Anthem” [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/fULwDbZ4iSU/maxresdefault.jpg "Coheed and Cambria + Mastodon + Primus + Tool + Mutoid Man Cover RUSH’s “Anthem”") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fULwDbZ4iSU) Jay Weinberg + High on Fire + Mutoid Man + Royal Thunder cover Bruce Springsteen’s “Candy’s Room” [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/ICHpeBkFGzE/maxresdefault.jpg "Jay Weinberg + High on Fire + Mutoid Man + Royal Thunder cover Bruce Springsteen’s “Candy’s Room”") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICHpeBkFGzE) Old Man Gloom + Baroness + Candiria + Potion cover Danzig’s “Snakes of Christ” [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/DzsR5fxWkho/maxresdefault.jpg "Old Man Gloom + Baroness + Candiria + Potion cover Danzig's "Snakes of Christ"") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzsR5fxWkho) ---

> With multiple sold-out U.S. tours under its belt and hundreds of thousands of fans around the world, **Leonid** & **Friends** continues to astound its global audience with its unique ability in capturing the spirit, musicality, and fire of American supergroup Chicago. > And what is even more stunning is that Leonid & Friends, comprised of 11 of the finest musicians in Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, and Belarus, haven’t seen Chicago perform live, yet replicates the band’s complex arrangements amazingly note for note. [source](http://leonidandf.com/) I read that even before he left, Cetera wouldn’t sing this one any more because he thought it was corny. So if you want to hear it live, Leonid & Friends can make that happen.
