Is this the best cover in the history of music?

This is possibly the greatest cover of a song i've ever had the pleasure of seeing.

i freaking love Anthony Green's voice.

Here's a favorite..

(Live cover of Nu:Tone's DnB track "Breathless")

My favorite covers as of this moment are all the songs Dream Theater covered in The Big Medley.

I think Dream Theater is pretty hit and miss, but this song is fantastic.

:lol: That was horrible

Much better: One - Metalica

Rofl. Thank you Markop and D_Battery for finally understanding that this entire thread was a joke. You both win.

Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah was simply brilliant and I don't normally like covers.

Sorry, rap isn't my type at all :P

I watched the video.

It was horrible.

I know that's the joke.

I posted another cover because there's absolutely nothing that needs to be discussed about the video you posted. It's bad. We get it.

I have no idea, but I saw Nirvana mentioned in this thread and thought I'd post this awesome cover by Patti Smith

"Seargent pepper's lonely hearts club band" by Jimi Hendrix :)

He butchered a great song, and that's what makes a great cover?

No, that's just sad.

Don't know about the best but I like it.

I always thought Alien Ant Farm's cover of Smooth Criminal was great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDl9ZMfj6aE KoRn's version of Word Up was always quite nice as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q-k-uN73Gk Limp Bizkit's cover of Faith is pretty good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-EdCNjumvI I have no idea why all of those covers are by nu-metal bands. :? Am I a subconscious nu-metal fan?! :oxTheExploited

Word to Alien Ant Farm.

Jay Z's cover of Wonderwall is worse than that one. As for the best, it's probably Nirvana's cover of the man who sold the world.

Fine. Nobody check out my cover of Rasputin then. :(

.... fail

[QUOTE="RobboElRobbo"][QUOTE="UbiquitousAeon"]I've heard that before I think and I've seen them live as well. Awesome band. Battle Metal is a sweet album, haven't really listened to the new one other than some music video.

Ensiferum is just as good with Petri in my opinion. Old Ensiferum = new Ensiferum I think. I can't get into Tyr, it just sounds boring.

Any Iron Maiden album cover. Take your pick. Here's Powerslave.

I can't believe some people in this thread took me seriously...

Parandrus

Clear example of a worthless and pointless cover.

All Along the Watchtower is a good cover. Jimi Hendrix took the original material and did something new and exciting with it. Sort of like how when James Cameron made Aliens, he didn't just rehash Alien. He took the overall concept, did something new and exciting with it, and made it its own special thing.

But when Johnny Cash covered "Hurt", I just get bored. It doesn't really add anything important, it doesn't do anything different. It's just a boring straight cover.

Rep up.

Although his version is so much fun to play with friends when your wasted.
