KMFDM found a way to make Material Girl sound creepy as ****.

Blood Duster somehow makes Drink,Fight,**** a hell of a lot more fun than GG did. I think its mostly because how dirty and old-school the guitar riffs are as opposed to the punky original. Let's go mothafuckas!

^^^^

Not heard that KMFDM cover before. It's good.

Ministry released a cover album last year and here is one of the delights:



and this is still absolute class:

I think Apoptygma Berzerk does a pretty good job of Bizarre Love Triangle too. The original sounds far too upbeat for the lyrical content.

I also think Stabbing Westward did the song some justice. Not quite as good as Apoptygma Berzerk's but its right on par with New Order's.

Now This Is What I Call A Cover Version!!- Better Than The Original?

One of the most disappointing covers I've ever heard. I actually expected Manson to do something with this that deviated from the original while keeping it the same-ish. Instead he just cloned the song and added a hint of atonality.

I like their cover of Metallica's Fade to Black myself.

Is it wrong that I prefer this to the original? :o:

You Megadeth fans don't get off lightly either :laughing:

Pretty wrong yeah, i don't judge ya though. I'm going to have to play this to my mate, he'll love it.

of montreal - jimmy

Urban please. Tigertailz FFS lol

"Daytripper" by Nancy Sinatra

and

"Shake Sugaree" by Mary Lou Lord

are good.

anyone heard this cover?



and yes, it is Devo, covering The Rolling Stones' (I Can't Get No)
Satisfaction :D

what no love for Devo?

I'm not a big Devo fan but i love that version. I think i like most covers of that song actually.

Probably because the Residents did that song much much better.

and Guitar Wolf do the best cover of Satisfaction.

yeah, i'm not big on them either, but the cover's so cool to me

Today I was listening to New Moon for the first time in months and was reminded of how much I loved Elliott's cover of Thirteen.

I love that cover. He also has a cover of Waterloo Sunset I like.

not my favorite, but an interesting cover of the Police's "Wrapped Around Your Finger" by Underoath

Michael Stipes version of U2's "One" is excellent. Have a listen, even if you don't like U2, because Michael spins the song in a totally different direction.



Also, Johnny Cash and Joe Strummer's version of Redemption song is delicious.

Actually, that is one of the worst covers ever. To think it's better than the original is just insane.


I like Paint It Black by the Tea Party.

Mark Ronson:- God put a smile upon your face

I really like Easy Star All Stars covers of Brain Damage and Money by Pink Floyd, and I love Sonic Youths cover of Superstar, it's creamy :)

I like New Found Glory's "Kiss Me."

I saw it live and absolutely loved it.

I like The Gossip's version of "Are U That Somebody" by Aaliyah. Different and cool.

I used to be in love with that song...then I heard the original.

Johnny Cash covers Nick Cave brilliantly:


Excellent cover of a John Martyn song. Such a shame hes no longer with us.

I'm pretty sure I love that first video you posted.

Don't like U2 but liked this lots :)

Cheers

Kick Axe doing "The Chain"

And Hendrix version of All Along the Watchtower of course.

Nadja - The Sun Always Shines on TV (original by A-Ha)

Why is this under Pop?

And I I've been listening to Coheed when I need to chill.

Quietly. Cause his voice makes it a little less chill. xD

if this is favorite covers....I have more but like off the top of my head it would have to be this

I like:
Alison-Elvis Costello covered by Brandon Boyd [Incubus]
Valerie-The Zutons covered by both James Morrison and Amy Winehouse
Babe I'm Gonna Leave You-Joan Baez covered by Led Zeppelin
Hallelujah-Leonard Cohen covered by Jeff Buckley
The First Cut Is The Deepest-Cat Stevens covered by Sheryl Crow
And a classic:
R-E-S-P-E-C-T-Otis Redding covered by Aretha Franklin
Too many Beatles songs to name!

Red Hot CHili Peppers have a plethora of great covers



Fire(Jimi Hendrix)





Higher Ground(Stevie Wonder)





If You Want Me to Stay(Sly and The Family Stone)





plus guitarist John Frusciante does a cool cover of Elton John's Tiny Dancer, albeit a short one

The Soweto Gospel Choir's stunning cover of the Lion Sleeps Tonight

best cover is John Mayer "Free Fallin' "

just incredible
