nathanselisko Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 what would you say are some of the greatest cover songs ever made? personally, i think the metallica cover of 'whiskey in the jar' is brilliant, as is the RHCP version of 'higher ground' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reaglephoenix Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Generally I disapprove of covering the beatles, but the across the universe soundtrack is pretty fantastic. The Starting Lines cover of I'm Real by J-Lo is ten million times better than the original imo haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanguis Dominus Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I'ma have to agree with the OP, Whiskey in the Jar is a badass cover. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4BI9qjCPP8 Not the best cover in the world, but watching the original video, with it played over the top is jus' hilarious. The Surfin' cover by Blind Guardian's pretty kewl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I don't like covers. I have beef with them. That being said: Beautiful Girls - Casey Crescenzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Biffy Clyro - take me outhttp://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fLvUsSLWTRc I love that. Whisky in the Jar by Metallica is a good one. I thought Lostprophet's cover of "Cry Me A River" was pretty good. I loved Killswitch Engage's cover of "Holy Diver" and Gallows cover of "Wrathchild" too.

Jorgi Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I loved Killswitch Engage's cover of "Holy Diver" and Gallows cover of "Wrathchild" too. Oooof, hell no. Latter approved; former, no thanks. It was a good song and they actually ruined it- i didn't think it was possible for Killswitch to completely fuck up a song but by golly they managed it ! An honourable attempt by any means, but it all went tits up. In other news, to add to the remix pile is LCD Soundsystem VS MGMT - All My Children. Can't find a link to it because youtube's being gay, but seriously, it's glorious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanguis Dominus Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 A good cover shouldn't just be a copy of the original, it should take the original and mix the styles of the original and the band covering it. The Fight Fire With Fire cover by Therion and the My Friend of Misery cover by Dark Tranquility are badass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, thanks for that wonderful insight to yet another of your lovely opinons ! I now feel so much better and feel i can renew my own, lowly opinions of what covers i deem as "good" and "bad" based on yours ! Thank you, most insincerely.

For some reason you seem to have this sort of admiration for dear old Sanguis; if he's allowed to be an utter cunt to absolutely everyone else for no reason, and yet i'm not allowed to retaliate to him then you and me will have issues BOI ! So pipe down ANYWAY, Muse are kings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So pipe down ANYWAY, Muse are kings. im ALLOWED to be a cunt, its in my nature, its not his fault he is opinionated, its the music he listen to's fault, but none of us can help that, also there was nothing wrong with what he said, but you dont say "oh i dont agree" you lash out with him, you suck. we already have issues.
