Thoughts on Original:

From the first time we tackled a cover:
The song that launched a true revolution, with an opening snare drum like a dead man's last pistol shot baby. "Like A Rolling Stone" is mega in all fashions, Dylan is accusatory, mad, feed up, zoned out, poetic, rambling and always moving with the sound as the track is large and in charge even today. One of the Bard's top 3 songs any which way you break them down, "Like A Rolling Stone" has been covered by a ton of people and it (usually) always kicks ass.

Thoughts on Cover Artist:

This is the first time we have heard Articolo 31. They are a band from Milan Italy. 

Thoughts on Cover:

Now THIS is something different. An Italian hip-hop version of "Like A Rolling Stone" that samples Bob's voice and the original vocals. Pretty wild all around.
