Guest Dmann2000 Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 Eddie Vedder's cover of "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" off the "I Am Sam" Soundtrack is pretty good. Heck half the covers on that album are pretty good.
Guest Dmann2000 Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 Whose that band doing the cover now of Don Henley's "Boys of Summer"?
Guest The Amazing Rando Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 The Ataris. H20.(punk) Like A Virgin Tool - Ball & Chain
Guest Dmann2000 Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 Yeah, that reminds of of when Alien Ant Farm covered "Smooth Criminal" is this the new gimmick for a current pop-punk-metal band? Cover an 80's song?
Guest El Satanico Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 is this the new gimmick for a current pop-punk band? Cover an 80's song? It's not a new thing and it's not just the mtv friendly punk bands doing it. Modern punk bands have been doing covers for awhile. I have several. The punk covers of tv theme songs rule.
Guest The Metal Maniac Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 is this the new gimmick for a current pop-punk-metal band? Cover an 80's song? NEW? Are you nuts? Don't you remember Limp Bizcut doing "Faith"? Or Fear Factory doing "Cars"? Or Coal Chamber or whoever the fuck it was doing "Shock the Monkey" with Ozzy? It's an old gimmick, dude. I think Mike Muir summed it up best in the Suicidal Tendencies track, "Pop Songs": "Every day there is another Band that got big by playing a cover"
Rendclaw Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 Disturbed's cover of Shout (Tears For Fears) actually made me like them. and Metallica doing Killing Time (Sweet Savage)and Turn the Page (Joe Cocker), Iced Earth doing Transylvania and the Trooper (Iron Maiden) are excellent covers.
Guest El Satanico Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 Turn the Page (Joe Cocker), Whaaat? That's not a Joe Cocker song, maaan. It's a Bob Seger song.
Guest Zero_Cool Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 H2O did "Like a Prayer" and it's pretty swank. And that's all I have to add.
Guest Vitamin X Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 System of a Down -"Snowblind" (Black Sabbath) Believe it or not, P.O.D.- "Bullet The Blue Sky" (U2) Therion- "O Fortuna" (Carl ehhh I forgot..)
Guest The Metal Maniac Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 I can't believe I forgot to mention how uberly great Iced Earth playing "Transylvania" is. One of my favourite covers, period.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 That Shadows Fall cover of "Welcome to the Machine" is an absolute hatchet job. Needless chugging, they lose the whole mechanical feel to the song, and the contrast with the acoustic guitar along with that. It's just them playing relatively the same notes. Awful cover song. I hate it.

Needless chugging, they lose the whole mechanical feel to the song, and the contrast with the acoustic guitar along with that. It's just them playing relatively the same notes. Awful cover song. I hate it. How bad is it compared to the Foo Fighters cover of "Have A Cigar"?
Guest Plushy Al Logan Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 Ozzy & Dweezil Zappa - Stayin Alive (Bee Gees) What the Fuck?!
Guest La Parka Es Mi Papa Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 Marilyn Manson - I Put A Spell On You(CCR) The original is by Screamin' Jay Hawkins, not CCR. Manson also does a swank cover of Suicide Is Painless, the MASH theme song.
Guest Incandenza Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds' album Kicking Against the Pricks is an all-covers album, and ranks among their very finest records.
Guest The Amazing Rando Posted July 8, 2003 Report Posted July 8, 2003 Ozzy & Dweezil Zappa - Stayin Alive (Bee Gees) What the Fuck?! This is an AWESOME cover. PERIOD.

I hate it. How bad is it compared to the Foo Fighters cover of "Have A Cigar"? oh man... have a cigar was horrendous... and for the Ozzy and Dweezil thing... well, D is a Zappa, so by definition, it HAS to be good. At least the guitar playing, anyways.
Rendclaw Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 Turn the Page (Joe Cocker), Whaaat? That's not a Joe Cocker song, maaan. It's a Bob Seger song. My bad. I *always* get those two mixed up.
rising up out of the back seat-nuh Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 Annother couple: Manic Street Preachers: Take The Skinheads Bowling and Raindrops keep Falling On My Head Hi Standard(sp?): California Dreaming
Guest Plushy Al Logan Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 I'm just curious, has anyone ever heard Sammy Hagar's "Whole Lotta Zep?"
Guest saturnmark4life Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 The Cats - Swan Lake (a reggae version) Primus - Making Plans for Nigel, Amos Moses, Have A Cigar (I like it anyway, dunno what Floyd types think) DEP/Mike Patton - Come To Daddy Roots Manuva - Yellow Submarine Melvins - Interstellar Overdrive, Youth of America The Darkness - Street Spirit (fade out)
Guest Eagan469 Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 Bloodhound Gang - The KIDS Incorporated theme song
rising up out of the back seat-nuh Posted July 9, 2003 Report Posted July 9, 2003 The Darkness - Street Spirit (fade out) Don't get me wrong, The Darkness are the saviours of music and our future kings, but that cover just makes my head hurts. I know it's tounge in cheek, but it's just painfull!
Rendclaw Posted July 10, 2003 Report Posted July 10, 2003 Didn't They Might be Giants do all the Schoolhouse Rock songs a few years back?
Guest Spaceman Spiff Posted July 10, 2003 Report Posted July 10, 2003 I know Pearl Jam pulls a lot of covers out, so I'll stay away from their more recognizable ones. Pearl Jam - "Redemption Song" (Bob Marley) Pearl Jam - "Let My Love Open the Door" (Pete Townshend)
Guest MrPhil28 Posted July 10, 2003 Report Posted July 10, 2003 Johnny Cash "Hurt", "In my Life", and "Desperado" on his latest album.
PsychoDriver Posted July 10, 2003 Report Posted July 10, 2003 Off the top of my head... Sonic Youth - "Into the Groove" (Madonna) Jon Auer - "Gold Star for Robot Boy" (Guided By Voices) Letters To Cleo - "Dreams" (Fleetwood Mac) The Posies - "Dreaming" (Blondie) Jellyfish - "No Matter What" (Badfinger) Garbage - "Can't seem to make you mine" Live version (The Seeds) Jason Falkner - "Johnsberg, IL" (Tom Waits) Tori Amos - "She's Leaving Home" (The Beatles)
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted July 10, 2003 Report Posted July 10, 2003 Primus - ...Have a Cigar (I like it anyway, dunno what Floyd types think) It's pretty good shit, I think. Primus does really tight covers, for the most part. If you've never heard Les Claypool's Flying Frog Brigade's live set where they covered the ENTIRETY of Floyd's Animals, DO SO IMMEDIATELY.
