jammy316 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Emanuel[/b] Covered Smashing Pumpkings - Disarm Emanuels Version Is Better :). Spunge/Less then Jake covered Proclaimers - 500 Miles, Less then Jakes version is probably best. I'll post more when I'm not half asleep :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azvareth Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Children Of Bodom's cover of Britney Spears's "Oops, I did it again" is just hilarious stuff. It's also quite a nice cover. Worth a listen. Twilightning's cover of Alice Cooper's "Wind-Up Toy", while it doesn't catch the atmosphere of the original, is a very good song - very bombastic and powerful. Pantera's cover of Ted Nugent's "Cat Scratch Fever" is alright, nothing special. The original however, is probably one of my favourite songs. Long live the Nuge! :P In Flames's cover of Depeche Mode's "Everything Counts" is pretty brilliant. They're both good in their own ways, depends on my mood. Rammstein's cover of Depeche Mode's "Stripped" is just awful. Van Halen's cover of The Kinks's "You Really Got Me" has got to be one of the better covers ever made. I love it.

Greatsilverwyrm Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 The Shin's cover of We Will Become Shilouettes by Postal Service was great - the original was good, but the cover had a great quirky beat to it.. Postal Services' cover Iron & Wine's such great heights was much more popular than the original, unfortunately. I think the original was great... Mike Doughty's cover of Real Love by I dunno is fantastic. I remember the original song, and the cover fits the lyrics much better, I think. Yeah. Don't hurt me. I'm a music noob.

MyPurpleCrayon Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 It was a complete mockery IMO. Yours and everybody elses in the sane world. Obviously I am insane...and everyone else that agrees with me, but yeah...I knew that some people would disagree with me, that's cool. Hey Shadow?....you mind not being so entirely rude to me 100% of the time. You are a complete jerk to me, and you insult every single thing I say. I can't even say the grass is green without you jumping all over me and saying, "Wth MPC are you serious? You are the dumbest person ever, you are so insane. I hate you, you stupid moron." Get off me. Ghost: I am prejudice towards ignorance, so that would explain why I appear to be so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I can't change your opinion in music just as you can't change mine. Meaning that I can't seriously insult you for liking something, it's not like you shouldn't. OK, maybe the 'sanity' bit was a tad too far, just that I genuinelly haven't found anyone who thinks the LTJ cover is better. So basically, yeah, sorry if I offended you man.

Necromagus Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Arjen Lucassen and After Forever - Who Wants To Live Forever Never released on any album, the file floats around under both that artist tag and Ayreon and After Forever if you look for it. The way they changed the song into a duet is brilliant.

Sepiroth23 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I think it needs to be pointed out that the worst covers ever were: William Shatner- Lucy in the sky with diamonds Madonna- American pie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How2PK Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I don't really see what's so bad about the cover of American Pie, I can listen to it easily...

Rizla Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Don't know if they've been mentioned but here are some good covers Deftones - Simple Man (Lynyrd Skynyrd) Jonny Cash - Hurt (Nine Inch Nails Metallica - Whisky In The Jar (Thin Lizzy) A Perfect Circle - Imagine (John Lennon) Korn - Word Up (Cameo) Pantera - Cat Scratch Fever (Ted Nugent) Rage Against The Machine - How I Could Just Kill A Man (Cypress Hill) Sepultura - Bullet The Blue Sky - (U2) Other than that, pretty much anything Hendrix ever covered. Kirk and Lars I could handle. At the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubsa Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Johnny Cash - One (U2 Cover) is something I like too, despite hating U2. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AThousandLies Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I thought everyone hated Word Up. First time I heard it when I wasn't into KoRn (or much music at all for that matter), I thought it was okay ... then I conformed to my brother's taste and started hating KoRn. It seems a lot of people really despise KoRn's cover but I quite like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruffy5389 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Mad World - Tears for Fears, Covered by Gary Jules. Gary Jules took a poetic but awkward song by Tears for Fears and made it his. You may reckognize this from Donnie Darko. Simply fantastic cover by Jules. That was a cover? :shock: I don't think anyone has mentioned Behind Blue Eyes by Limp Bizkit. It was originally by The Who. I don't much like the original, but LB's cover is cool. Where can I hear "Hotel California" as covered by Less Than Jake? With all the controversy, I'm kind of curious... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futurama Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Limp Bizkit's new song is a cover of The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony (which i think is also a cover of a rolling stones song or something?) It really makes me want to gouge my eyes out with rusty hooks. It's absolutely terrible. Their cover of behind blue eyes would be good, except for the crappy robot voices halfway through.
