Cover Versions of Songs versus the Originals

[woodyk2]

Another cover I like....

Rammstein's version of Depeche Mode's "Stripped".

I used to bag the shit out of Rammstein but after seeing them live at the Sydney BDO back in the early 2000s, my mind was changed.

Was that really a Depeche MODE song?:shock:

Hurt - Johnny Cash
Every cover ever done by Viktoriya Yermolyeva http://www.youtube.com/user/vkgoeswild
Easy - Faith No More
I Started a Joke - Faith No More
Twist and Shout - The Beatles
Helter Skelter - U2
The Great Pretender - Freddie Mercury
Turn The Page - Metallica
Wicked Game - Chris Issac
The Man Who Sold The World - Nirvana
Hound Dog - Elvis

And I know people won't like these, but I like the fact that these covers adopted the unique sound of the band performing the cover
Welcome Home (Sanitarium) - Limp Bizkit
One - Korn
Master Of Puppets - Trivium

Kind of covers but not really lol
Queen's live fast version of their own song We Will Rock You
Walk This Way - Run DMC with Aerosmith

I'm a mad metallica fan and I really like koRn and their one cover

Was that really a Depeche MODE song?:shock:

Yep! Depeche Mode released it as a single in the UK in 1986. Rammstein covered it in 1998.

Despite all the Korn hate, I quite like them.

Their cover of Cameo's "Word Up" was a fairly good effort.

There are a lot of covers that are just plain awful, a lot that are pretty good but not as good as the original.

There's a few I reckon that probably better than the original:

Hurt- Johnny Cash
Turn the Page - Metallica
All Along the Watchtower- Jimi Hendricks
Twist and Shout- Beatles
Shivers - Screaming Jets

 

[HevyDevy]

Type O Negative - Summer Breeze
Machine Head - Message in a Bottle
Dream Theater - Perfect Strangers

The Ataris - Boys of Summer
