Pantera's cover of Black sabbath's " paranoid "


yours ?

Orgy's cover of New Order's Blue Monday

If I can remember the two bands and the song title, I'll post it. >.o

Orgy's cover of Blue Monday definitely, also Limp Bizkits cover of Faith.

enjoy the silence: tori amos's cover to a depeche mode song
orgy blue monday

noooooo limp bizkit ruined faith!!! i used to love that songs and they just "sang" 'i gotta have faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aith.... ' which totally pissed me off

they also runied Behind blue eyes ..they should stop covering songs and stick with making thier own crap

They added something different to both Behind Blue Eyes & Faith instead of doing a generic cover as done by near enough all pop bands personally i saw nothing wrong with those renditions.

yeah.. they were different, i think that was the wrong thing with these songs

but still tori amos sang 'enjoy the silence' in a COMPLETELY different way than depeche mode, and i like her version thousand times more!

yes they added something different..the difference is that they ruiend the songs.

Hm, Gary Jules' cover of Mad World, the RHCP's version of Higher Ground... and there was a band that did a rock-y cover of Christina Aguilera's 'Genie In A Bottle'; not necessarily good but quirky nonetheless.

I can't remember the band (but I think it was someone like Kitte) who did a cover to Britteny Spears 'you drive me crazy'....one: apologies for mentioning Ms Spears *gag reflex* and two: it was an interesting cover that made me happy n_____n

My favorite cover was a Rob Zombie cover but I dont know the name of the cd but it has dragula and living dead girl and like superbeast on it. That cover is bad ass. And then I like Pantera's cover for the great southern tredkill cd and in flames u got great taste in music with ur rob zombie avatar and chose in favorite cover


PanterA and Zombie fing rule

yah damn rite in flames has good taste. the dudes my hero!

The 'rock' band you are referring to are Blink 182 their quirky remake of Christina Agulleria's breakthrough hit 'Genie in a bottle' can be found on Blink's rare live album 'All The Small Things'

wicker man way to know ur stuff

lol thanks for the compliment DeNiro man i do what i can. lol

well this isnt a cd cover but this is the actull cd. It is the Kid Rock cocky cd. With the two minddle fingers up. That has always been a fav of mine

i dont understand

ok it is not on the cd cover but the actully cd has a picture likeall cd's normally do and it is Kid Rocks middle fingers with his rings on if u ever buy the cocky cd u will see what i mean

i think u mean an art cover right ? i mean a song cover

I dont know what im talkig about ne more.

Nope, the lead guitarist/vocalist was a girl.

Hmm my only other possible suggestion is a band known as Sugar Cult, they have a female vocalist who may have done that song as they did a pretty cool take on Britney Spears 'You Drive Me Crazy'.

My fave cover is, Avril Lavigne - Chop Suey. She's so cute when she screams like that.

she can scream ? she hardly can sing..well im sure she can scream when fred's around

Ah that's the band! that's what i said....teehee

god im stupid

I got that, but who's fred?

fred durst

ugghhh

Fred and Avril......that is so nasty.

how do u think she got her record deal :P

jeeeeeze he is sick.....shes almost young enough for him to be classed a pedophile

All along the Watchtower- Jimi Hendrix

great song!!!

Cover of Gin and Juice by Me First and the Gimme Gimme's( i believe it was)

Megadeth's "Paranoid" or "No More Mr. Nice Guy"

another cover i like system of a down's coverof black sabbath's "snowblind"

Hmmmm... I didn't realize that's a cover.

it is..its on black sabbath V.4 album

HIM - enjoy the silence cover of depeche mode
face to face - big country cover of big country
moonspell - sacred cover of depeche mode
face to face - planet earth cover of duran duran

cheers!!

Jeff Buckleys "Hallelujah" (original by Leonard Cohen) and Faith No More`s versions of "War Pigs" (Black Sabbath....duh) and "Easy" (Lionel Richie)

and fanatos that is close to blasphemy

The Kovenant - Spaceman cover of Babylon Zoo

cheers!!

Nirvana's cover of Where Did You Sleep Last Night

Where is my mind-Placebo covering the Pixies.

NOFX - last caress cover of the misfit

prince's cover of sherl crows 'everyday is a winding road'

Placebo's covers of Daddy Cool and Jackie.
if youre askin tho, can i just mention the WORST COVER EVER was all saints doing under the bridge.

Les Thugs cover of the Dead Kennedys Moon over Marin, The Adolescenets cover of John Lennon's Instant Karma, Minor Threat's cover of the Monkee's Steppin' Stone.
Worst covers-
William Shattner covers the Beatles' Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Flipper cover Metallica's Sad but True
Lila Prinsen covers Nirvana's Negative Creep
Sister Double Hapiness cover the Dead Kennedy's Holiday in Cambodia

I just heard Foo Fighter's version of Darling Nikki...it's pretty cool but not as cool as the original!

Lead Breakfast's (my old band) cover of Korn's All In The Family

finti>Jeff Buckleys "Hallelujah"

that is an amazing song from an amazing album, i keep having arguments with my dad - he prefers cohens version.


the flaming lips version of (what a) wonderful world is probably my fave tho.

Six feet under has a cover album called coffin classics I believe...its great, death metal covers of ACDC, Hendrix, deep purple, etc.....great stuff...the cover of ACDC's TNT is brutal

Also skinny Puppy covered Tainted Love alot better than Manson did, long before......Fear Factory's cover of that Gary Numan song Cars....NIN has a "cover" of Carly simons Youre so Vain. The Misfits covbers metallica did are their only strong point in my opinion, aside from Master of puppets and Ride the lightning. And in conclusion I hope and pray that punk covers would just die off....first off radio punk is not punk but pop, secondly, theyre all the same...played a little faster than the original and with shitty vocal tracks. The only exception is the cover of walk like an egyptian....not that it is good...just amusing

Not done yet....

Kittie covering Run like hell was great
Primus covering electric uncle sam was great
Mushroomheads cover of the song Crazy by seal was interesting,
Mushroomhead has a pink floyd cover on XX as well, very good intro
the cover of Hurt by (cant remember name) was something new and interesting
Ill Nino's cover of Eye for an Eye was great too..
Dry Kill logics cover of snap your fingers snap your neck by prong

oh... and i forgot about 'where did you sleep last night', 'lake of fire' covers by nirvana

and of course 'sweet dreams' by marilyn manson, eurythmics cover

Enjoy the Silence by Tori Amos (the Depeche Mode song) Also Tori's cover of Time (I believe from Lloyd Cole) and Travis's cover of Britney's Baby One More Time...

This one Echoes!!!
http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/images/echoes.jpg

there are bongs in that pic

my fav cover is for toby keith unleased cause in the bocklet it has a picture of a collar with a tag that says "toby" and my cats name is toby

Thought I'd ressurect this oldie...

Has anyone bought the Kasabian single "cut off"?

I already have the album, but I bought the single cus I heard their cover version of The Prodigy's "Out of Space" on Soccer AM the other day, and its on the B-side.

Its quality.

Knockin' on Heaven's Door, originally by Eric Clapton, was done pretty well by Guns and Roses. In The Italian Job remake somebody did a weak half-assed attempt at playing Money by Pink Floyd.

lol i posted this thread when my nickname was in flames but i lost the password.

Elliott Smith - Jealous Guy (John Lennon Cover)
Cake - I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor Cover)
The Living End - Tainted Love (Soft Cell Cover)

It would have to be in my case either aenima or lateralus-tool
there crazy looking

You just admitted you were a sock!

Wow, you don't know what a cover is...

Anything Guns and Roses covered, Metallica - Enter Sandman, Nirvana - Man who sold the world

GNR covers are ace. Jimi's "Watchtower" is awesome and IMO the best

I thought it was Bob Dylan who originally sang "Knockin on Heavens Door", not clapton

Me too, I'm sure Bob Marley covered it too.

my favorite cover would have to be System Of A Down's cover of Black Sabbath's - SNOWBLIND

Is Knockin on Heavens Door the most covered song in rock history?
I mean, cmon-Bob Marley?!

RATM's cover of Renegades of Funk by... Hmm, I don't know who did it originally...

Opeth's cover of remember tomorrow by iron maiden

well I don't particularly like the song "Music" originally done by Madonna but Out of Your Mouth did a pretty good cover of it.
Oh and the worst cover is knockin on heavens door when Avril Lavigne re-did it. She ruined it. Or take my breath away originally done by Berlin and then Jessica Simpson made the cover. Another horrible one.

Um..Afrika Bambata???? C'mon. Learn some musical history.



Yeah, Dylan did it first.

A lot of Clapton's songs are covers (Knockin on Heavans Door, I Shot The Sheriff, Cocaine)

I liked Muse's cover of Can't Keep My Eyes Off You. Was decent.

No Quarter by Tool is one song I prefer to the original. Originally by Led Zep.

Cave In's version of Dazed and Confused is awesome (Led Zep). As is N.I.B (Sabbath).

Overall....No Quarter (Tool), War Pigs (FNM), Maps (White Stripes) and Seven Nation Army (Audioslave).

Dammit, I keep remembering great ones. Velouria by Weezer is cool.

-AC

i dont remember if i've said this but Frankenboks - Dont Call Me Baby (originaly by Madison Avenue)

Zebrahead - Wannabe (Spice Girls Cover)

Man this is a wicked song.

Kyuss - Into the void (black sabbath)

tori amos - smells like teen spirit nirvana
apocalyptica - schism by tool

Dehumanizer by Black sabbath is cool

Nine Inch Nails - Metal (Gary Numan)
Tool - No Quarter (Led Zeppelin)
Orgy - Blue Monday (New Order)
Godhead - Eleanor Rigby (The Beatles)
Deadsy - Tom Sawyer (Rush)
Heaven Falls Hard - Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Divison)
Korn & Chino Moreno - Wicked (Ice Cube)
A Perfect Circle - Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie (Black Flag)

Stuck my neck out a little there, pretty much all of those are covers of classic songs. Godhead's version of Eleanor Rigby is unbelievably good, second only to Johnny's version of In My Life as the best Beatles cover I've heard. At the risk of crucifixtion, I prefer the Deadsy version of Tom Sawyer to the original.

oh, I forgot about Iron and Wine's cover of "Such Great Heights"

tainted love-marilyn manson (originally by soft cell)
i touch myself-jack off jill (divinyls)
bring the pain-mindless self indulgence (method man) god, this song is hilarious!

I love that song

No, the worst ever was when Avril Lavigne did "Chop Suey". It was disgusting.

Oh, and Tool's cover of "Terrible Lie" is great.

Evanescence cover of "Orestes" is pretty lame.

"My Own Summer" by Linkin Park was god awful.

-AC

Cover?
Like Cover song? Or Cover band?

And if we're talking about bad covers, lets not forget Busted's cover of Teenage Kicks and Staind's cover of Sober.

Oh and another good one, Deftones cover of The Chauffeur by Duran Duran. Needless to say, it's much better than the original.

Can't beat All Along the Watchtower.

bump in order to keep the balance with the bad covers thread

how about big yellow taxi by countig crows(not the version with vanessa carlton though)

another joni mitchell cover that i liked "river" by travis...dont really like travis but they do a decent and very true to the original version

and of course the greatest cover ever made...along the watchtower by jimi hendrix

Have you heard the cover travis did with 'hit me baby one more time' i thought it was actually pretty good. You just had to try and forget it was a Britney song.

Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy" by Metallica
Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" by Faster Pussycat

i really like ''Another brick in the Wall'' covered by KoRn

i think the creator of the thread meant to say cover song .

if you read the first post its a cover song , not an album cover

My favourite song that is a cover is All Along the Watchtower by Jimi. As I don't like the original though, it doesn't really qualify.
