Favourite cover songs

[LESStar58]

Fishbone's version of Sublime's Date Rape is great.

Shihad did a really good cover of Midnight Oils Kosciuszko on the Oils tribute album many moons ago

Agree with Living Colour and their version of Sunshine of your Love, I love it. Reid, Glover, Calhoun and Wimbish are all top shelf in their respective disciplines.

My fav Sublime cover will always be No Doubt's version of DJs.

Speaking of Sublime I love this cover of Hope by The Descendents

Sublime - Hope (Bradley solo live): http://youtu.be/6-EBKsYtdEk

Different from the album version but still amazing. Bradley really was amazing!

Ryan Adams has done tonnes of great covers, he usually gives them a different feel.

Some of my favs he has done:

Bob Mould (Husker Du) - Black Sheets of Rain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtcrMwkyzY0
Black Flag - Nervous Breakdown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJB6PiLkmSs
Iron Maiden - Wasted Years https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iBe53ruE1g
Alice In Chains - Down in a Hole (also did Nutshell) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGgGtNNKfIs
Foo Fighters - Times Like These https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BG9u798who
Bryan Adams - Run To You https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_rEUtI1dZM

There are dozens more.

Ryan Adams covered all of Taylor Swifts album.

From the songs i have heard, it isn't too bad.

Two that stand out for mine:

Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower, and a throwback to my teenage years a little known metal band from Victoria called the Naked Heart did a cover of Kylie Minogue's Confide in Me, the singer was clearly a Korn fan.

f**k forgot all about All Along The Watchtower.

Dude! Awesome! I love Living Colour and I had no idea they covered this.

Vernon Reid is the most overlooked guitarist in terms of talent. It pisses me off when i never see him make any lists!

Yep its such a shame people dont know how good Vernon is, he is easily in my top 5 of all time.

No Doubt- Hateful (The Clash)

 

[OVP]

Generals gathered in their masses,
Just like witches at black masses.
Evil minds that plot destruction,
Sorcerer of death's construction.
In the fields the bodies burning,
As the war machine keeps turning.
Death and hatred to mankind,
Poisoning their brainwashed minds.
Oh lord yeah!
