Comparing covers to the original (country, dance, metal, rock)

**Urban Hatemonger** · 04-25-2008, 03:43 PM

Yeah it is

And Lemmy played Bass on it too.
It was released as Motordamned.

Original

Cover

I think Tesla tried to make the song theirs, but failed. They tried to make a statement that was from a time that had passed. The original is my pick.

dead souls- Joy Division

Original

Cover

I'm a Motley Crue fan, but I don't think they did this song justice. When I hear the Brownsville Station version, I can actually imagine smokin (or tokin) in the school bathroom. The Motley Crue version just makes me imagine thinking about it without the balls to actually do it.

This one has always stumped me as I could never actually remember whose was the cover & whose was the original.

I know it's a Mary Chain song now.

Don't ask me which I like better.

I love this song, both versions.

I refuse to choose between the two. Queen made an awesome song and NIN made an awesome cover.

Another one that I can't decide on. I have no idea why I like Metallica punk covers as much as I do, but...

Yeah, I really hated that Oasis cover of I Am the Walrus.

Thats my problem with Oasis, they're really more of a disgrace to The Beatles than a tribute, they just water everything down.

yeh sure.....

Al Green (seriously underated vocalist):

Talking Heads Cover:

TH is musically more involving but vocally miles behind.
