Covers

[Slack3r78]

Stumbled across this really cool My Bloody Valentine cover, thought I'd share.

One of my favorite singer-songwriters covering one of my favorite songs by another of my favorite singer-songwriters. It's a wonderful thing for me.

Hard to tell whether that would've moved me; I don't speak Bob Dylan. :D

Edited in a studio version. ;)

If you like covers you should be listening to the Coverville podcast. (http://www.coverville.com/)

My band has some how built up a number of covers up already with out really trying, idea is to keep a 'cover' slot in the set and change it up from gig to gig. Do great balls of fire, thousand miles, grease lightning, time warp, summer of 69, higher and higher and working on some other random more up to date pop covers. Decided that we are going to form a second band just to do cover sets lol :D

Double-plus agree. It's usually interesting and often great.

Destruction does Metallica better than Metallica. Not that I don't enjoy Metallica's version, but I think Destructions rip's a lot harder.

I don't Am I Evil can ever be considered a cover. Metallica has played it far more times then Diamondhead ever did. Speaking of which:

And another:

And I didn't know videos existed of this:

Its not as good as I remembered. Barney just...phoned it in.

The problem with Therion is that they're so fucking boring. I WANTED to like them, I really did, but my God do they put me to sleep. I've even seen them live and it was a complete waste of time; not to mention, the guy doing vocals for them at the time was annoying as fuck.

As well, that second rendition of Fight Fire with Fire, it just does not work.

THE Bruce Dickinson!? He's the cock of the walk, baby. He'll have you wearing solid gold diapers!

He's gotta have more cowbell.

I agree with you on the second one, but I liked the first. Granted, I had never heard of Therion before now, so no preconceived notions and all that.

OK Sandman, nobody posted Cash's Hurt because everybody has already has heard it.

So better than boring original.

I quite prefer Cash's "Hurt" as well, but, really, half the man's career is made up of covers.

[muddi900]

Yes, but us yougins only know the songs from American Recordings.

[Wasson_]

Johnny Cash's covers...I really don't see the appeal of them. Especially in comparison to his original classic songs.

[violent]

I like Johnny Cash. That said, his cover is nothing compared to the original.

[muddi900]

But...which one?

[violent]

Christina Aguilera

[Wasson_]

The only cover of his that I truly like. But a song that has been covered by so many people, that it's damn near public domain. I strongly prefer his version.

Johnny Cash's covers...I really don't see the appeal of them. Especially in comparison to his original classic songs.

I think the thing about Cash's covers is that a lot of the song's he does are better than a lot of his own songs. Cash has the problem of all his songs being pretty one-dimensional and cut from the same cloth; that is, all his songs sound very similar to each other. Once you've heard one Johnny Cash song, you've sort-of heard them all. The covers offer him a way to use his great singing voice and style, but put them into some songs that aren't all the same thing.

[Hawkzombie]

I liked Redemption Songs and Hurt by Cash. Hurt is the only song where I like the cover more than the original, and I can't make it through the song without some tears. It's the only song to hit me that emotionally. I LOVE all Johnny Cash though, and have been listening to him since I was 17. Surprised the hell out of my wife's grandfather lol.

idk, maybe there are some who think they butchered this song. I think they made pretty good cover. They didn't fuck with it much, most importantly.

[axion]

Four Year Strong have a good cover album.

BTW that Raconteurs cover was fucking excellent,

[Dorkandproudofit]

I mentioned this band in the "Little Known Bands" thread. They would regularly do acoustic versions of rock, reggae, jazz, blues, gospel, etc. songs.

And yes, that is the legendary Bela Fleck playing with them.

[Hawkzombie]

Oh god...Richard Cheese. That song was one of my favorite parts of that movie.

On a more serious note, there's something about the way Aaron Lewis does Pearl Jam's "Black" that I just don't get sick of...

And my contribution:

The first time I saw these guys live they introduced this song as a cover from their favorite gameboy game.
