The "Amazing Cover Songs" Thread

Have tissues on hand.

Civil Twilight does a pretty sick cover of Massive Attack's Teardrop.

A fine example of a group completely tarnishing a song and, more importantly, its meaning and tone by adding "their own twist" to it. What was originally written as a sexy tease of a song now makes me feel like I'm in the middle of a Satanic whorehouse asking to be hit by a spiked whip one more time.

This is one of the most ignorant statements I've ever seen on this site, and I've been here for ten years.

What in the hell is the point of a cover if it's going to sound exactly like the original song? Why would anyone bother listening to a cover of a song if it sounds exactly like the original song? There'd be no point. Therefore, your statement about them "tarnishing" the song it's "meaning and tone" are so far off-base that I'm not even sure you're in the stadium anymore.

Also, for the record, Mr. Makes-Ignorant-Statements-Linking-Metal-and-Satanic-Cult-Worship-as-a-Blanket-Statement, August Burns Red are a deeply devout Christian band. The fuck would make you think it's Satanic? Because it's fucking metal? Ignorant.

Couldn't have said it better. Thank you!

[Other Kevin]

Yeah, well I heard there's this band called the Beastie Boys and they done a cover of Linkin Parks secret live song "Sabotage", pretty awesome, huh?

[Flagrare]

Couldn't have said it better. Thank you!

Man, what is the band on your signature?

[Slug Whore]

[Todd]

Saw this in related videos. It's a half-cover due to Jerry Cantrell's presence in it, but Corey Taylor nails Layne's parts.

[Stino LPLeaks]

Great cover of Lykke Li's "I Follow Rivers"!

[ernieball003]

And to contribute:



Is it just me, or does Corey Taylor look like Mutoh from Ocarina of Time?

[chris2]

great band

Yep, indeed.

Here's another one.
Enter Shikari-Insomnia, live cover. (originally by Faithless)

[ProjektSoxRock]

Read the whole thread to make sure I didn't repost one.

RED and August Burns Red are two of my favorite bands so both of those covers I agree are awesome.

I like this Four Year Strong cover:

This is one of my favorite songs and Corey nails it it sounds like. I wish there was a good quality version of this to really get the full effect.
