What actually cover song sounds better than the original?
 

Just wondering, because I`m sick of these new bands making newer versions of classic songs I.E John Lennons-Imagine, well I think theres more than just one redo of that but this one is shit... A perfect Circle I think their called... I meen I dont like it but I dont hate it...
Anyone know of anybody whos redone a song that is actually better than the original????

i think you should come back on IRC...we have something to show you

I like the APC over Lennon...I also like Social Distortions cover of ring of fire better than orginal..

To bad you guys banned me for shite reasons

merlin will pm you the link

CCR's version of "I heard it through the grape vine"...

Days of The New's version of The End was pretty cool.

I concur with CCR's version of "Heard it through the grapevine".

Also like Taylor Daynes version of "Can't get enough of your love" over Barry Whites.

Jimi Hendrix's "All Along The Watchtower"...

i played Heard it Through the Grapevine in jazz band 2 years back. the bass part was insanely easy.

Faith No More's cover of The Commodores - Easy....

Cake-I Will Survive

Type 0 Negatives 'Baby hit me one more time' by the Spears girl.

all along the watchtower by jimi hendrix

Ahh Pyro, hi!

look 7 posts up...

So? I saw CCR twice. My opinion ins't going to change just because someone posted the song I was going to say before me.

rofl...

Nirvana- Lake of Fire

Johnny Cash's cover of 'Hurt' owns the original.

Also, APC should have terrible, terrible things done to them for their butchering of 'Imagine'. There should be some sort of tribuneral covers go through before they're allowed into the mainstream, to prevent utter shit like that being fed to the public plzdie:

NIN version is better than Cash's. Though I like Cash's too.

Dillinger Escape Plan - My Michelle

toots and the maytals - country road...

stfu

Renaissance's cover of Iron Maidan's Mother Russia.

Evergreen Terrace - Enjoy the Silence

Voodoo Chile - By Stevie Ray > Hendrix

Lean Back (Biggie Remix)


lots of better remixs in trance jungle etc, but I guess remixs don't count.

Anything off "Garage Days Revisited" by Metallica is better than the originals.

Anything Maiden covers I like better than originals.

Type O Negative do a cool rendition of Neil Young's "Cinnamon Girl".

Amazed Milla hasnt put this down; Yellowcard - Everywhere.

SRV verions of "little wing" and "vodoo chile" are better thans hendrix's
along with metallica's covers of "turn the page" and "whiskey in the jar"

Filter - One
Disturbed - Shout ( the song itself isnt great, but the remake is less crappy than the original)
APC - Imagine (yes its better)
