When Rock/Metal covers beat the original

faceman · 2008-01-11 17:14:51

OK so technically the you tube clip below isnt rock or metal nor was the original, but given metal is my music of choice Ive posted here. Note the clip is NSFW due to language Its a good example of someone taking a song from a different genre, adding their own style to it, and coming out with something pretty cool.…

In honour of the late, great Jeff Healey, I'd like to nominate his cover of The Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".

Awesome stuff.

Couldn't agree more. What's worse is that that's the best song on the album.

No way

I hate the original though.

Not sure if it's already been mentioned or not but Dinosaur Jr's version of Just Like Heaven by the Cure is simply amazing.

Seriously, you liked that album? :eek:

On topic, Warrel Dane does one of the best covers I've heard in a long time on his new album. He covers The Sisters of Mercy song - Lucretia, My Reflection. Simply amazing.

I don't like it at all man, it sounds far too rushed. Even by Bodom standards.

Van Halen's version of Oh! Pretty Woman.

Gotta love it....

Its good, but definately not better than the original. Bodom's cover of Oops I Did It Again and Bed of Nails are better than the originals though, imho.

I like the solo's in Mastodons version of Emerald better than Thin Lizzy's.
And their version of The Bit aswell, what a class band.

QOTSA's version of Most Exalted Potentate Of Love is much better than The Cramps.

And Metallica's recent acoustic covers of Only Happy When it Rains, and Brothers in Arms belong in this thread aswell.

Wouldnt agree with that... QOTSAs version is good but they just made it heavier, with less swagger
I heart The Cramps
I do prefer QOTSAs Subhumans cover though
