Wish originally by Nine Inch Nails, covered by Linkin Park
Head Like A Hole originally by Nine Inch Nails, covered by AFI[/quote]Please remove these videos and stop defaming the name and character of NIN.

:cool:

[quote name='Trakan']Most covers suck dick, like those NIN covers by LP and AFI.[/quote]Truth.

[quote name='Koggit']I like to threadcrap[/quote]You stink.
 
[quote name='prmononoke']No, you're wrong.

Mindless Self Indulgence is great.

Better than Deadsy could ever hope to be.[/QUOTE]

I'm not gonna lie, I haven't heard much by either band, but Deadsy's cover is way better than that trash MSI made.

But that's just as far as songs go

Agreed, me and my friend got PISSED when we heard that Linkin park cover awhile back. As in Linkin park immediately got on our shit list.

As for favorite covers...Anything by Children of Bodom.
 
I have no video proof of any of these but here is a list of some of my faves, off the top of my head.

Faith No More-"War Pigs"
Cake-"War Pigs"
Cake-"I Will Survive"
Counting Crows-"Aimee"
Glen Philips-"I Want a New Drug"
The Thorns-"Blue"
Chris Cornell-"Billie Jean"
The Wallflowers-"Lawyers, Guns, and Money"
Social Destortion-"Ring of Fire"
Toad the Wet Sprocket-"Hey Bullfrog"

I also want to give a thumbs up on Shatner's version of "Common People" also.
 
[quote name='Tha Xecutioner']Please remove these videos and stop defaming the name and character of NIN[/QUOTE]

Agreed.

I feel Jimi's cover of All Along the Watchtower is the best cover ever. Its even my favorite song by him.
 
Eleanor Rigby from The Beatles covered by Thrice! Great, great cover by one of my favorite bands of all time.

[media]http://youtube.com/watch?v=XP1bkMqKh7Q[/media]I deleted the other video, because the quality of this song is better and it's not a shitty still shot from the cover of the album.

What covers has COB done? I would like to know...
 
[quote name='homeland']only good song MSI had was Molly.[/quote]

"Molly" is one of their worst songs.

Frankenstein Girls Will Seem Strangely Sexy and You'll Rebel to Anything are great albums (neither of which feature "Molly"). Listen to both of those. "$$$$$$" is a fantastic song.

"Somebody Put Something In My Drink" is the only one I know of, but it's a great song.
 
Anyone recognize this one? :)
[media]http://youtube.com/watch?v=vqSkhS4W9C8[/media]The band is Bassboosa, ya probably never heard of 'em..
 
[quote name='prmononoke']"Somebody Put Something In My Drink" is the only one I know of, but it's a great song.[/quote]

Big fan of COB. What was the original song from?

Hey, Tight is still a great album, but yea, Molly was weak.

[quote name='prmononoke']"Somebody Put Something In My Drink" is the only one I know of, but it's a great song.[/quote]

By Ramones, I think. They also covered "Oops I Did It Again".
 
Look for the CD "Kerrang - High Voltage"

tons of good stuff.

Deftones doing a simple man cover

Bullet for my valentine doing a crazy train cover

killswitch engage doing a holy diver cover

just the ones I can think of off my head.

I do like Tight, but I think the two I mentioned are way better.

And yeah, it was Ramones.
 
Fantomas, covering pretty much all of Slayer's well known songs. Thank you Mike Patton's schizophrenia!
[MEDIA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cr8qJu6sp44[/MEDIA]
 
I remember seeing Fantomas open for Tool. I loved it however the crowd did not. They were throwing batteries and coins and shit and were booing quite loudly.
 
Besides some of the others people have posted already, I really love this one I have that I can't find on Youtube. It's Maroon 5 covering Closer by Nine Inch Nails. Normally I'm not a big fan of M5, but there's something strange about hearing that voice singing that song. It's hilarious and strangely not bad.
 
[quote name='Maklershed']I remember seeing Fantomas open for Tool. I loved it however the crowd did not. They were throwing batteries and coins and shit and were booing quite loudly.[/QUOTE]

They threw stuff at Mike Patton and Buzz Osbourne, wow. I like Tool, but I think some fans are totally clueless about the music, guess they just see it as music to take drugs to. fucking kids.
 
These:

Take on Me- Reel big Fish (A-Ha)

And RATM- Renegades of Funk

That Reel Big Fish one is pretty sweet...which just reminded me of another great one:

Come On Eileen originally by Dexys Midnight Runners, cover by Save Ferris

Can't embed this one.
Hotel California covered by Skadaddyz
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uio6DmEx8M8

Ghost Riders in the Sky covered by Me First and the Gimme Gimmies

Somewhere Over the Rainbow covered by Me First and the Gimme Gimmies
[MEDIA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM_F83qdB4U[/MEDIA]
Thats all I can think of at the moment.
 
WOW was just going to post reel big fish

Kiss me deadly cover of Lita Ford

A Rock Tribute to Weezer is a great album full of Weezer covers from various rock/emo/punk bands. I don't even care for Weezer all that much but there's something about the way all the songs are performed that I love. I think I enjoy all the covers more than the originals. :lol:
 
I'll be back later with my list, but for now:
[quote name='LinkinPrime']Send Me An Angel originally by The Petshop Boys, covered by Thrice
[/quote]
"Send Me An Angel" is a Real Life song, not a Pet Shop Boys song. To the best of my knowledge (and I'm a pretty ravenous PSB fan) they've never covered that song.

[quote name='anomynous']Personal Jesus, originally by Johnny cash, covered by Marilyn Manson.[/quote]
"Personal Jesus" is a Depeche Mode song, not a Johnny Cash song. Cash does a mean cover of it, but it's not his song.

[quote name='Brak']Faith No More's cover of The Commodore's "Easy".[/quote]
Yes.

[quote name='javeryh']Failure's cover of that song ["Enjoy the Silence"] is the best ever hands down.[/quote]
Indeed. Exceeds the power of the original...and I loves me some Depeche Mode.

[quote name='thekeybladewars']Eleanor Rigby from The Beatles covered by Thrice! [/quote]
Godhead does a great electro-goth version of this, as well. Such a sad song.
 
I am partial to Bigwig's cover of Jawbreaker's Ashtray Monument. Also Alkaline Trio's version of "The Metro". The original song by Berlin sucks and is boring.
 
Billie Jean originally by Michael Jackson, covered by Jose Feliciano
[media]http://youtube.com/watch?v=RQBwrm0GXMo[/media]
Affirmation by George Benson, covered and originally written by Jose Feliciano
[media]http://youtube.com/watch?v=4ElFb_v-uGs[/media]
His ability blows my mind, especially considering the fact that he's blind.
 
[quote name='LinkinPrime']You're absolutely right bmachine it is by Real Life...someone once told me it was by Pet Shop Boys...I just believed them.[/quote]
I'm here to answer any and all 80's synthpop-related questions.

Just one of the many useless services I provide. ;)
 
[quote name='LinkinPrime']Lovesong...I forgot about that one...311 did an amazing job on it.[/QUOTE]

It's my ringtone
I also like
Landslide by The smashing pumpkins it so eclipsed the Mac version
Watchtower by Hendrix Dylan himself has said it is the best rendition of the song
Sympathy for the Devil By Guns N' Roses from the Stones
Man who sold the world by Nirvana from Bowie? I believe?
D'Yer Maker by Sheryl Crow from Led Zeppelin
Dancing Days by STP from Zeppelin(From the same album as the previous track the album contains some of the best cover songs ever)

I find cover songs interesting. I hate when a group just copies it. I love when they add their own flavor

Head Like A Hole [/B][/I]originally by Nine Inch Nails, covered by AFI[/QUOTE]

:shame: remind me never to ask you anything about music

Obviously the best two covers ever are Option 30 (featuring Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails) covering The Thompson Twins - Lies and Falco - Der Kommissar

The Foo Fighters are great at doing a cover song and putting their own spin on it. They do a great version of Darling Nikki by Prince and Have a Cigar by Pink Floyd. Also good, Jimi Hendrix's version of Johnny B. Goode and the Chili Peppers' version of Higher Ground.
 
[quote name='ajh2298']I forgot how hot their lead singer was[/quote]

Yeah she is pretty hot.
