Best Cover Ever?

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

whats yer favorite cover song by a band ever? im going with 'I started a Joke' by the Beegee's, covered by Faith no More. They improve that song ten fold :lol:

 

[Alba]

well i am a fan of many originals but i think that What About Me was done better by Shannon but it isnt my favourite ... i like Easy-Faith No More .... hmmm i cant think of any!

 

[Twizzle]

"Higher Ground" the Chillis is way beter that Stevie Wonders version.

Then agin the Chillis did a crap version of Jimi Hendrix "Fire"

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

One - metallica covered by Korn.

 

[weasel]

It's a toss up between 'Eternal Flame' and 'Tide is high', both by Atomic Kitten.

 

[Alba]

hay i like them two songs by atomic kitten but i think the originals were the better ones!! the original is nearly always the best :mrgreen:

 

[Twizzle]

Anyone into Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.

Every song is a cover.

Some very radical ones, from old jazz to pop ballads.

They consist of members of big name bands, forget which ones, who have lots of time on their hands.

Played at the Brisbane Livid last year.

 

[Godz Illa]

Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower. Cover of Bob Dylan. So good that Dylan has played it Hendrix's way ever since.

 

[Alba]

ooooh oooooh i jus thought of one Faith- originally George Michael and re-done by Limp Bizkit!! Top song!

 

[Once Dead]

Zombie Apocalypse - Welcome to the Jungle

But seriously,

Zakk Wylde - Whiter Shade of Pale

 

[Twizzle]

There aren't to many ppl who have not had a go at "A Whiter Shade of Pale".

 

[Matt23]

Pearl Jam - Rockin In the free world

 

[ThrashViking]

Death - Painkiller
Faith No More - War Pigs
Jimi Hendrix - All along the watchtower
Iron Maiden - Cross-eyed Mary
Some of the worst covers I've ever heard:
Sheryl Crow - Sweet Child O' Mine
Garth Brooks - Fever
Britney Spears - Satisfaction
Korn - One
