Chances are this album won't even be released in the US, so the only way people might know of its existence is if they look it up online, in which case they are bound to see that it's a cover. Rather or not that will encourage them to look up and support the original version is an entirely different matter.

I guess I really must be the only one who is actually looking forward to this. I mean... John 5. John Motherfucking 5. That and Vince Neil, Orianthi, the latter of whom is probably most qualified of any on the list to perform a cover of a L'Arc song. As for Vince Neil, HYDE has expressed several times that he's a fan of Motley Crue and that he draws direct influence from them, so I'm personally interested to see how this works out. That and it's cool to see western artists cover a Japanese band. It's been exclusively the other way around for far too long, and while I understand language barrier has a lot to do with that, I still always hated how being from Asia came to be such a barrier. But with L'Arc performing at Madison Square Garden and then this being released, that barrier seems to be slowly but surely breaking.
