| Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01  | Are there any cover songs that you folks have heard that are just as good if not better than the originals?? Or any that were horrible?? Let me throw in a few examples of ones I have heard that are in either vein... THE GOOD ONES Metallica-Whiskey in the Jar, Turn the Page Anthrax: Parasite Pseudo Echo(Two hit wonders from the 80's): Did a rockin cover of Funkytown. Slayer:In a Gadda da Vidda(Really put their stamp on a hippie classic) THE BAD ONES: Metallica:Any Misfits tune they covered, Last Caress, Green Hell, Die Die My Darling(No one did em better than Glenn Danzig) Toad the Wet Sprocket: a HORRIBLE cover of Rock n Roll All Night for that KISS Tribute Album back in 94 I puked for an hour after listening to that. STP: Dancing Days: Not too many bands can pull of Led Zeppelin, these guys proved they can't Billy Idol:LA Woman, he tried, sounded good for a few minutes and then fell flat. Like to hear what you guys think. A heavy dose of reality, with a shot of piss and vinegar | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Apr. 01 | In my humble opinion... GNR's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" blows away the original Bob Dylan version (and Clapton's version too). As far as bad covers, Mariah Carey's "I Still Believe" has to be one of the worst I ever heard. Sheryl Crow's "Sweet Child O' Mine" makes me cringe too.  | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01 | Speaking of GnR...I got one good...one bad... Sympathy for the Devil..1995 Interview with the Vampire Sndtrak..GOOD Attitude...Duff can't sing so WTF is he doing trying to imitate Glenn Danzig?? Maybe he should have learned from Metallicas' mistake. A heavy dose of reality, with a shot of piss and vinegar | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 01 | Jimi's All along the Watchtower: great, dunno if you can really blow Dylan away. String Cheese Incident's Gin and Juice is fun. Hate those Me first and the Gimmes covers, so unoriginal  I did a gweat whaaaat? | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 02 | Awsome cover - "Hard to Handle" by The Black Crowes. Most covers suck though. Its cool to do them in concert, but when you record them it usually sucks. The worst is when a band gets big because of a cover. (Limp Bizkit, Orgy, Alien Ant Farm). If you need to use someone else's song to get big, then you probably don't deserve it.  | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | Al Green's "Take Me To The River" is a great song, but I give a slight edge to The Talking Heads version. I second Man Mann's version of Springsteen's classic although it would depend on one's mood. Any Led Zeppelin cover of an old blues tune, i.e., "I Can't Quit You Baby"  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Gin and Juice by The String Cheese Incident is great. they turned it into a 8 minute jam band song. it is awesome buckcherry redid "anything anything" and it rocks. i like dave matthews version of all along the watchtower i hated billy idols version of LA woman. and the worst remake in the history of music was Madonna's version of American Pie.

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01 | Monster Magnet's "Into the Void" is really amazing, as is Anthrax's "London" (off the Airheads sndtrk.) Anthrax's "Ball Of Confusion" doesn't win any awards, though. Love&Rockets' did it better. I also like Shane MacGowan & Nick Cave's "What A Wondeful World." The video is especially funny to watch - they're just sitting there blasted and hammered singing like a couple of bums - priceless. NORTON IS GOD | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 02 | I don't think they cover anything from the karate kid, they cover the song from titanic though and that is fucking funny!!!! Fat chicks try harder!!! | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jul. 00 | You must be logged onto Audiogalaxy to download the songs. Great covers Codeseven - Boys of Summer This song is taken to another level, a very listenable level. Way better than the original. click to download. Visit this Website Pixies - In Heaven(Lady in the Radiator Song) Okay so it's from the Eraserhead soundtrack, but it still RAWKS. Click for Pixies version Visit this Website Click to get the movie version. Visit this Website Grandaddy - Revolution Awesome Beatles cover. Probably the best on the I am Sam soundtrack. Visit this Website Toadies - I'm Not In Love Talking Heads cover, more gooder. Visit this Website Toadies - Where Is My Mind My favorite Pixies cover. It's live at Myrtle Beach 2001. Before the song begins the singer asks the audience if they can name how many songs they stole from this one song.
