Cover-songs

by Thomm • 24 Jun 2008, 22:27 • Journals
There has been a lot of talk about cover-songs today, at least in my favourite radiostation "Radio Rock".

All started from this song: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=6JIxq15LDpg
Celine Dion and Anastassia raped the great song by AC/DC. That is just evil.

And since most of crossfire-users are these middle-european jump-style-wankers who have only seen covers by DJ Tiesto and other no-names, which really hasn´t go so much to do with music or re-performing. Yes yes, I don´t want to hear if you think they have and they are really good "musicians". BS. Enough about that.

Here comes the best cover-songs in the world. No. You can´t argue with me. Hush.

Jimi Hendrix (originally Bob Dylan) - All Along The Watchtower http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=RD7s4i_X-p0

Johnny Cash (originally Nine Inch Nails) - Hurt http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=SmVAWKfJ4Go

Awesome songs.

It's a great cover. You don't have to like Manson as an artist to appreciate a good cover.

idd Johnny Cash - Unearthed has some fantastic covers. 'n Hurt is amazing.

Never released on any album, but I love the live version Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros did of Walk On The Wild Side.

It's funny, as soon as I saw this journal title, I thought of the two songs you linked. :P

Thomm 24 Jun 2008, 23:45
Well, as I said those are the best covers, it would be foolish to even think otherwise.

This is one of my "favorite" bad covers:

Limp Bizkit - Behind Blue Eyes

Here is the original.

Thomm 24 Jun 2008, 23:51
Another cover which can´t even be compared to the original one. Not that it is so bad, but the original is so great.

hellgoat 24 Jun 2008, 23:55
No, it is that bad.
Parent

Thomm 24 Jun 2008, 23:57
I think it is not that bad, tbh Limp Bizkit just sucks so much that it drags every song down with them.

The Clash - Pressure Drop, originally Toots & The Maytals. Both awesome versions :p
Metallica - Whiskey In The Jar

Panda 24 Jun 2008, 23:52
Hendrix - All along the watch tower = \o/
No use for a name - Fairy tales of new york = \o/

Example of bad covers:

Metallica - Anything...
