Covers

[Gargamel Bojangles]

Let's talk about covers, good ones bad ones....from epic to terrible. ....
I recently heard James Maynards cover of Heart Shaped Box...it's horrendous
His cover of Imagine was epic.

 

[Omni]

Averse Sefira cover of Madonna

I don't think that there's anything else quite as out there.

 

[RedStorm]

 

[Vilden]

Sigrblot - Commie Scum is a good party sing along.

Obviously, Metallica doing "Blitzkrieg" and "Am I Evil?" and Judas Priest doing "Diamonds and Rust" are three classic examples of covers done right. If a cover is to be attempted at all, it should, at the very least, outdo the original. Whether it is a completely different take, or more of a tribute, it must accomplish this, or else everyone will see this as a rip-off or a money grab or something.

 

[Baroque]

Dream Theater - Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding is a good one. I like Metallica's cover of Mercyful Fate songs, and Stone Cold Crazy.

 

[Burkhard]

These are two of my favourites:

 

[Omni]

Nocternity covers Björk

@no country for old wainds

Since I know you are a Björk fan.

@Slayed Necros

Since I dare you to listen to the original song.

That Nocternity cover was actually one of the reasons I started listening to Björk.

What the Hell is this Averse Sefira cover haha, never knew they did this.

 

[Slayed Necros]

I always forget that's a Björk cover. I'm listening to the original now and I don't mind it. It's not something I could see myself listening to very often though.

^ Vader did a lot of covers. They even have a new cd out that's full of covers again.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Covering classic Slayer is kind of pointless.

 

[RedStorm]

fucking hate when bands do that bullshit.

 

[Senhrel]

Can I throw down here my covers? estimate?

 

[Gargamel Bojangles]

Speaking of Slayer, their cover of Born to Be Wild was just horrendous.

 

[mutantllama]

I fucking love Saint Vitus but honestly I think I prefer this version. It just sounds so beautiful and alien to me.

 

[Gargamel Bojangles]

I'm not a big fan of Cradle of Filth but they did a pretty decent cover of hollow be thy name
