The best version is no version at all - hate this song! hahah

joeychitwood · 19 October 2019, 06:47 AM

I just spent an hour listening to Mike Masse videos. How have I never heard of this guy? He’s awesome.

Someone posted the Africa video on a forum about 7/8 years ago and I was a fan ever since.. Seen him in NYC twice and went to Maryland last month to see him.. Such a humble super nice guy too..

tie219 · 19 October 2019, 08:08 AM

I like it!

Also a big fan of the version, although it's very different lol

Guess I am old... this cover is horrible.. the original is the best, by far

bremersm · 19 October 2019, 10:58 AM

Don’t have a link but one of my all time favorite bands; Virginia Coalitions did a cover of this song many years ago that was amazing.

Thanks for starting this thread and the contributions by many. Reconnects some long forgotten strings to the past.

Just my 2¢...

The metal cover lacks a little of the spirit - it could be better if they had arranged it grungey and laid it as Kurt Cobain could - can’t say GOAT cover of Africa.

Massé at the pizza joint is faithful to the spirit - and he’s done it another way over the years. Not fresh like the live cut in the YT shown, but instead mixed differently with more umber burnished tone in mid-to-lower registers.

I’m unsure either trumps the original, though.

If someone mines a total rearrangement of Toto’s electronic Pop style it could be something special.

One of my "top Ten" songs. Hate the Metal version, Love the Mike Masse/Jeff Hall version as much as the original.

But the original version is unmatched!

Just spent an hour over lunch introducing the family to the Massey/Hall duo.
5 new fans! All the covers are as good as the originals. I like his cover of "Vincent" better than the original. I love the 'light touch' these guys have on the material.

Thanks to this thread, I am now a Mike Masse fan.

Steaming him in the office all week long!
