This is probably my favorite cover too. I love me some Disturbed.

@Sick_J0ke: I agree with you on that. Great cover

I like Framing Hanley's cover of Lollipop.

@Peloquin:
Metallica really killed it, the cover is infinitely better than the original.

Stone Cold Crazy, Turn the Page, and Tuesdays Gone are all cover songs that Metallica knocked out of the park.

#21 Posted by mordukai (7021 posts) - 3 years, 11 months ago

@Atramentous: Mike Patton fucking rules. that guy is true artist.

I also like this cover

#22 Posted by Akeldama (4140 posts) - 3 years, 11 months ago

#25 Edited by Demodocus (233 posts) - 3 years, 11 months ago

I doubt anyone will agree with me but......

Its a cover of Black Sabbath's Snowblind

#26 Posted by PufferFiz (1312 posts) - 3 years, 11 months ago

Pretty Much every song on this CD but I have to say that this song is one of my favorites

#27 Posted by Bruce (5263 posts) - 3 years, 11 months ago

Vanished by Crystal Castles for those who don't know is a heavily sampled remix of Van She's Sex City

As for straight up covers, here are some of my favorites.

1. The Clash - I Fought the Law/Brand New Cadillac/Police on my Block
The Clash owned every fucking cover they ever did.
2. Roxy Music - Jealous Guy
Better than the John Lennon version IMO
3. Arcade Fire - Keep the Car Running
Springsteen must have wrote this one ^_-

There's a ton more, but I don't have time for all of them.

#28 Posted by Peloquin (30 posts) - 3 years, 11 months ago

Awesome songs all, cheers :) haven't heard a lot of these.

Had to put up one more...Placebo

Best cover ever, for sure!

#30 Posted by Sick_J0ke (170 posts) - 3 years, 11 months ago

@Peloquin: Glad you liked the video. Are you from the UK btw? Cuz I hear alot of people from there say "cheers" so I've been coming to the assumption that it's a UK thing. Either that or it originated from there.

@Peloquin:
I've never heard that cover before, pretty good.

Here's another great Pixies cover, from Weezer this time.

#33 Posted by TheGreatGuero (9086 posts) - 3 years, 11 months ago

All Along The Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix is easily my favorite.

#34 Posted by Nick (577 posts) - 3 years, 11 months ago

Another Good one, Foo FIghters covering the song Baker Street.

#35 Posted by Peloquin (30 posts) - 3 years, 11 months ago

@Sick_J0ke: Am Irish living in Australia at the moment :) ...you're right "Cheers" is totally an English thing though....but well adopted but other places at this stage.
