Cover Songs.

PleaseKillMeNow · May 28, 2004

Are there any cover songs you like as much as, if not more than, the originals?
(Sorry -- Very, very bored right now)

My (long) List:

A Perfect Circle - the nurse who loved me (Original Failure)
Dinosaur Jr - just like heaven (Original Cure)
NIN - dead souls (Original Joy Division)
Frente - bizzare love triangle (Original New Order)
Metallica - whiskey in the jar (Original Thin Lizzy)
Lovemongers (Heart) - battle of evermore (Original Led Zeppelin)
David Bowie - china girl (Original Iggy Pop)
Black Crowes - hard to handle (Original Otis Redding)
Pearl Jam - can't help falling in love again (Original Elvis)
Pearl Jam - crown of thorns (Original Mother Love Bone)
Pearl Jam - Last Kiss (Original Eddie Cochran?)

Wow, Pearl Jam's a really good cover band...

Devo - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction (Original Rolling Stones)
William Shatner - rocketman (Original Elton John)
William Hung - she bangs (Original Ricky Martin)

Okay, I should stop here. Also, I'm sorry to say, but NIN's Hurt > Cash's Hurt.

I liked Manson's version of Sweet Dreams better than the original
...I liked Orgy's cover of How does it feel over the 80's original, but that's about it. I generally only like the originals. *I seem to remember that Gwen Stefani song "It's my life" being a re-make as well, but I don't remember who originally did it.

MERCENARY X99 :cool:

johnny cash- "hurt" original Nine Inch Nails

and that's all i wanna say

metal_slug_az · May 28, 2004

I love the Infectious Grooves covers of David Bowie's Fame and Led Zeplin's Immigrant Song. Also Primus does a heavy ass cover of Metallica's The Thing That Should Not Be. Kind of weird but I like the Faith No More version of I Started A Joke by the BeeGees. :buttrock:

Fuel - Daniel (Elton John cover)

by far one of the best departures from the original

also, as much as I hate Durst

Faith - Limp Bizkit (George Michael)

was cool at its time, in fact 3 dollar bill Ya'll was a good album, it was loud, crazy, and emotionally charged . . . then Fred turned into a whiney annoying bastard of a tool who I can't stand
