A cover you enjoyed more than the original?

Norther - The Final Countdown

:lol: @ Europe

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Search & Destroy (original by The Stooges)SkinBlues

That cover is alright, but nobody matches Iggy's vocals. 

[QUOTE="sthadji"]Turn the page - Metallica. I think it was better than the original.metallica_fan42

Spirit in the night- Manfred Mann's Earth Band (originally Bruce Springsteen)

Blinded by the light- same two artists

All along the Watchtower- Jimmy Hendrix (orginally Bob Dylan)

Blinded by the light- same two artists

Oh, Pretty Woman-  Van Halen (Roy orbinson did an incredible version of this but the Natural Harmonics in VH version make it incredble)

I can't think many covers I actually liked better than the original. The only one that comes to mind right now is Jimi Hendrix's cover of All Along the Watchtower.

I also liked Opeth's cover of Soldier of Fortune.  Oh yeah, also Van Halen's cover of You Really Got Me.

Springsteen's genius is untouchable. 

i like the cover of Just Like Heaven by Gatsbys American Dream more than the original by The Cure.bluezy

Static-X - Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment(Originaly done by The Ramones)

That's the only one I can think of...

Knocking On Heavens Door by Guns n Roses definately beats the Bob Dylan one.Vfanek

Classico.

A Tenacious D cover of Bach's Bourrée in E minor.

 Well, yeah.

come together - m jackson (originally ther beatles) LOL im joking

ive recently heard arcade fire cover guns of brixton by the clash using an orchestra which was amazing, and saw noel gallagher perform "there is a light and it never goes out" at a charity gig in manchester, that was really good but morrisey still just edges it

Fade to Black by DisturbedWizz46

I agree...with the exception of the guitarist. But the singing was much better.

Check this, you might not recognise it but you will eventually, it's an amazing cover hes turned the song into somethign beutifel I can't stop listening. 

[QUOTE="bminns"]i like the get up kids cover of "close to me" better than the cure's version. LJS9502_basic

Ewww...and no.

hey its my opinion, so i don't know why you're bashing it. at least i didn't say "love song" by 311, that was a cover that sucked.   

"Turn the Page" by Metallica... originally done by Bob Seger

or

"Cinnamon Girl" by Type O Negative... originally by Neil Young

Lacuna Coil's version of Enjoy The Silence.SolidSnake35

That's actually my favorite Lacuna Coil song as well!

I'm a big fan of Killswitch Engage's version of Holy Diver.

Also Haste the Day's version of Long Way Down.   Ignore the video on that one.  It was the only place I could find that had the full song.

Those would be the three that I have been listening to lately.

 Oh, and I also completely agree with Mad World by Gary Jules!  Amazing!

I like Stevie Ray Vaughan's version of "Little Wing" better than the original by Jimi Hendrix.

Hands Down: Hendrix all along the watchtower peterrobau

Definitely. I thought Hendrix brought more feeling and substance to the song.

I didn't bash your opinion...you're free to like as much whiny music as you wish.  I stated my opinion on the song.  Carry on.
