Bassassin Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1428527125' post='2742238'] Well, they're known in my household - I've got stuff by every one of the artists mentioned except The Jesus & Mary Chain, who I've heard lots of but don't actually like very much. [/quote] Mine too, seen most of them. And I violently disagree about No More Mr Nice Guy! Mustaine always sounds like a hyperactive 6 year-old having a tantrum - hardly improves a classic song! Btw - any chance we can have titles as well as YT links? Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadofsix Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 One of my favorites is "Land of Confusion" originally by Genesis, and covered by Disturbed. It rocks! For years I thought that this was the original recording. lol Korn has done some interesting covers, too. Tool's version of Zep's "No Quarter" is no slouch either. It's interesting, sometimes I want to hear the Tool version, other times it's Zeps's version that moves me. <><Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrenochrome Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Good stuff! Tool's No Quarter is on my main playlist at work. I like Megadeth's NMMNG but I agree that's for the arrangement more than Dave's voice suiting it. One I like, Crowbar's Remember Tomorrow https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=w759AI7J8LE#t=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingBollock Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) Post Modern Jukebox - Creep (Radiohead): http://youtu.be/m3lF2qEA2cw I love the original but this is better. It's actually the only Radiohead song I can bear to listen to. There used to be a couple of their songs that had good videos, I used to mute the music because I really, really hated it, and just watch the videos.

tauzero Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 A couple where I'm evenly split between cover and original.

CHW Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 There is a random guy and bass player on YT covering Toto's Africa. In my humble opinion Africa is right up there as one of the great songs of modern music. This cover- with just 2 vocals (as opposed to Toto's 4 or 5), 2 instruments (as opposed to Toto's 5 or 6) and done live, is right up there. His name is Mike Masse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikenbass Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 [quote name='SteveK' timestamp='1417655410' post='2622835'] Manfred has long been a fan of Springsteens writing and was his idea to cover the song.The 8s staccato piano motif was suggested by Mick Rogers who, by the time the song was recorded, had left the band (he rejoined in 1986, and is a member to this day). An interesting little factlet: Although the BBTL vocal was mainly Chris Thompson, Manfred thought it would be nice if Bruce himself appeared somewhere on the record, so the "Madman Drummers" vocal section towards the end was left clear for him. Even though Bruce was on the road, Manfred was able to get his hotel number and duly called... Manfred: [i]"Hey, is that Bruce?"[/i] A very sleepy Bruce: [i]"Y-e-a-h! Grrrmmph!"[/i] Manfred: [i]"Err... don't worry... I'll, er... call back another time".[/i] Manfred never called back, and sang the part himself. BTW I joined the band in 1986 so played no part on that record. [/quote] I saw the band in London the night Ronald Raygun was shot, 30/03/81. Fantastic show, always liked Chris' voice. Fully agree that Blinded By The Light is a far better version than Springsteen's and so is I Came For You. Strange how my two favourite tracks are Springsteen covers, but also Patti Smith's version of Because The Night is far better (imo) than the original.
