Zibl Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Anyone know any good videos of people doing covers of songs? I dunno why, but I like finding random videos of people doing their own version of a famous/good song. Here's a couple that some people might like: Fat Grizzly Adams-lookin dude sings his acoustic rendition of Outkast's famous song 'Hey Ya'. Singer from a group of brothers who do covers. Group's named Boyce Avenue. Singer's only 19/20. Another Boyce Avenue cover. This time it's of Linkin Park's song 'Shadow of the Day'. EDIT: I tried using the youtube button, but none of the videos were showing up :-# .

Hell yeah, the vocals are really convincing. :thumbup: As for Some good covers I like, Easy and War Pigs by Faith No More come to mind (covering the Commodores and Black Sabbath respectively). I also like Tool's cover of No Quarter, originally performed by Led Zeppelin: BdQGSykj6vo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zibl Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 amazing... You call that music? Good lord that's the worst thing I've ever heard. No offense to you or anything lol, I mean if you like it then thats awesome... but wow... Ontopic: that David guy (black guy) who plays piano covers of songs has a lot of good work. Although I didn't think she could sing THAT great, the Handlebars cover is pretty cool the way she makes it flow w/ the acoustic sound.

Azvareth Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 As for Some good covers I like, Easy and War Pigs by Faith No More come to mind (covering the Commodores and Black Sabbath respectively). This. Also Zakk Wylde's/BLS's cover of: (Led Zeppelin) Heart of Gold (Neil Young) Whiter Shade of Pale (Procol Harum) No More Tears (Ozzy Osbourne - not really a cover though since Zakk wrote it) (Lynyrd Skynyrd) Snowblind (Black Sabbath) Also Iron Maiden's cover of UFO's . The original is still one of my favourite songs ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryomancer Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Dread Zeppelin - awesome cover band of Led Zep, reggae style with an Elvis impersonator lead singer. Also Robert Plant's favourite tribute act. HcEvQGHge0o Jeff Buckley's cover of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah'. The most beautiful song ever performed.

blushenka Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Haha, seriously, I think this forum has a few threads that just keep popping up again and again! There must be 10 different threads all dealing with good / bad covers :lol: Well since it's Christmas and all, I think TSO makes an amazing cover of 'Carol of the Bells' (their version is called Christmas Eve - Sarajevo 12-24) "Metal isn't about violence or faggy whiny lyrics. It isn't even about who plays the heaviest and fastest. It is about invoking a sense of wonder and magnitude that no other genre can depict."

Alg Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Tesla had a good version of Led Zeppelin's Thank You. Heart covers them (Zeppelin) often as well, the two I've heard most are Black Dog and Rock and Roll A band called Zo2 covered Rush's Tom Sawyer at a live performance, and it was almost the same as the original. I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warri0r45 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Opeth - Would? Best AIC cover I've heard from a progressive metal band. Excellent! Akerfeldt needs to grunge up the vocals, though. Staley did a better job of it in my opinion. Just on the topic of AIC covers by metal bands: Them Bones by Grave (death metal): http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=6H7aDXJhAeY I think it's ok, nothing spectacular. I must say that a grunge song done in the style of death metal is kind of weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
