Cover Songs?

Haha I'd forgotten abou that, awesome cover hearing her lilt out "raining blood . . . . from a lacerated sky . . . bleeding its horror . . " priceless.

Coroner once did a cover of Beatles/Clapton "She's So Heavy" that was just brilliantly executed. Opeth does some mean Celtic Frost covers as well.

In the same vein as Richard Cheese:

Bluegrass Tribute to Metallica beats anything that couple-therapy band has put out in over a decade;

Ten Masked Men have three albums all dedicated death metal covers of Lauper, James Bond themes, Police, BeeGees et al.

HAHAHA , you had me laughing out loud on that one

No, no one should be allowed to cover a Cure song!

A few coversongs I personally loved:

KMFDM redid "Mysterious Ways" by U2, and it was pretty damn good.

Also I LOVE Type O Negative's version of "Possession", originally by Sara Mclaughlin; maybe Greenman can back me up on this one?

And for a funny cover song, Marilyn Manson's version of Madonna's "Like a Virgin."

"Black Magic Woman" by Santana is better than the original by Fleetwoor Mac
Pearl Jam's version of Neil Young's "Keep on Rockin in the Free World"
Reel Big Fish "Take on Me"

Gin, oh yeah... forgot about that one :D

Okay Gin and Uber, I love The Cure too, and I did not by any means mean to say that 311's version was better than the original. In fact I don't think anyone should be able to cover anyone's song. I think it's really lame. But I heard 311's version and thought it was listenable, as opposed to most covers where I just cringe. (Plus I used to be really into 311 like 8 years ago.)

And speaking of cringe, whoever mentioned Marilyn Manson's (who I detest) Like A Virgin, it reminded me of Bigod 20's version of Like A Prayer. That's good.

Jonny Cash's version of Hurt wasn't bad, but I couldn't stand listening to it. Love the original way too much and I hated when he said "I wear this crown of...thorns..." instead of the s word.

Yeah Gen, that bugged me.

oops, my bad didnt know it had to be better than the original, lol, the first thing i thought of was jessica simpson, but yeah i dont think it is as good as the first one,berlin sings it way better
