that is like saying that jimi hendrix should not have done all along the watchtower because bob dylan did it before him... im not saying that five finger is jimi but by your state of mind that amazing song would not have come about. or what about the songs guns n' roses coverd, or saying that george thorogood was horrible during his "stealing" of one bourbon, one scotch, one beer....everyone from janis joplin, rise against, elvis costello, and even metallica have recorded songs that were recorded before them and it is sad to think that after someone has done it no one would be able to put another spin on it. cause i believe at the time these people were considerd new artists to the songs they were recording
