Best Cover Ever

[octafish]

Kenny Rogers and The First Edition doing I Just Dropped In (to see what condition my condition was in)

Yeah, Yeah, oh-Yeah

 

[Marter]

Nightwish - Where Were You Last Night

<youtube=bARtwOYHHrg>

 

[The_Anomaly]

How about Jay Z's Forever Young?

 

[ButanicXpandA]

Korn's cover of 'another brick in the wall' -Pink Floyd

Err... no.

EDIT: "I would reassess your musical taste" - Mum

Your opinions not mine

 

[Snarky Username]

Whitney Houston's cover of "I Will Always Love You"

Either that or this guy's cover of Whitney Houston


EDIT: And no I'm not gay

 

[Samcanuck]

I'm a fan of 'tweeter and the monkey man' by the headstones. Not a fan of Bob dylans version. Not to mention 'sweet dreams' by manson.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Disturbed- Land of Confusion (original Phil Collins)

Disturbed- Shout 2000 (original Tears for Fears)

Gary Jules- Mad World. (original Tears for Fears)

 

[Hazy]

TDWP's cover of Still Fly
Easily better than the original.

 

[PHOENIXRIDER57]

Children of Bodem's cover of the Final Countdown.

 

[Tony Garcia]

I have a special playlist on my ipod of covers (because I have that kind of free time) and these are the ones I could listen to any time of the day...

Metallica: "Astronomy" (Blue Oyster Cult)
Five Finger Death Punch: "Bad Company" (Bad Company)
Static-X: "Burning Inside" (Ministry)
Pantera: "Cat Scratch Fever" (Ted Nugent)
Bullet For My Valentine: "Creeping Death" (Metallica)
Dio & Yngwie Malmsteen: "Dream On" (Aerosmith)
Austrian Death Machine: "Hell Bent For Leather" (Judas Priest)
Ozzy Osbourne: "In My Life" (The Beatles)
Pearl Jam: "Last Kiss" (?)
Aerosmith: "Love Me Two Times" (The Doors)
Audioslave: "Seven Nation Army" (The White Stripes)
Heart: "Stairway To Heaven" (Led Zepplin)
Glenn Campbell: "Times Like These" (Foo Fighters)
Ozzy Osbourne: "Working Class Hero" (John Lennon)

 

[Cain_Zeros]

Disturbed's cover of Land of Confusion
A Perfect Circle's covers of both Imagine and People Are People
Manson's cover of Sweet Dreams
Bullet for my Valentine's cover of Sanitarium
While it's nowhere near being better than (or even as good as, really) the original, Megadeth's cover of Paranoid is pretty awesome.

 

[Actual]

Drowning Pool - Rebel Yell

Spoiler

A Static Lullaby - Toxic (originally Britney Spears)

Spoiler

I quite like Marilyn Manson - Tainted Love (Soft Cell)

Spoiler

And everyone who named a Disturbed song gets +1

 

[Hazy]

A Static Lullaby - Toxic (originally Britney Spears)

Spoiler

Ah, yes, another good one.

They handled a cover of a relatively bad song quite well.

 

[WhamBamSam]

Disturbed's Shout 2000

 

[SW15243]

Whitney Houston's cover of "I Will Always Love You"

Either that or this guy's cover of Whitney Houston



EDIT: And no I'm not gay

That was easily the best thing ever.

Incidentally, most of Children of Bodom's covers are decent. Dio and Yngwie do a pretty awesome cover of "Dream On". Uh - Machine Head's version of Hallowed Be Thy Name is pretty badass.

Sonata Arctica does a surprisingly decent cover of "The Wind Beneath My Wings" by Bette Midler, but I have to be in the mood for it.

 

[LANCE420]

Anthony's song(moving out) by the Supervillians, anything by the Dan Band

 

[captainaweshum]

All Along the Watchtower by Jimi
and ummmmm
everyone else who cover Bob Dylan's songs

Considers this and then thinks of
1) Red Hot Chili Peppers cover of Subterranean Homesick Blues
2) My Chemical Romances cover of Desolation Row

Hellllll nooooo!

But I think most covers by Nirvana, namely Lake of Fire were pretty kick-ass. But apparently liking Nirvana stopped being cool about five years ago...

[Me55enger]

Korn's cover of 'another brick in the wall' -Pink Floyd

Err... no.

Your opinions not mine

Ain't that the truth...

 

[Popadomus Ohio]

John Lennon's cover of Ben E Kings Stand By Me. it's my all time favourite song and in my opinio it far suppasses the original.
