Fuck you, faggot. No one tops Bowie at Bowie
"Heartbeats" - Jose Gonzalez
Original: The Knife
>>691689465
Hate this cover.
Land of Confusion was a million times better.
>>691689776
Also, Man Who Sold the World.
I think Stairway to Heaven is better than the first one Taurus
>>691690018
I thought Nirvana's cover of it was better as well.
>>691688821
Lennon/Beatles
Twist and Shout
Ryan Adams' cover of wonderwall was way better I thought
>>691690186
stairway to heaven is the most overrated song ever written.
>>691689378
Even though Trent Reznor said from that point on, it was Cash's song. Yeah. Get over it.
>>691689471
>>691689650
As far as I know, even Trent himself has conceded that the cover is a better piece.
>>691690186
this fuckin guy.
Nirvanas cover of the man who sold the world is bad
Midge Ure's is better
>>691690108
I like it in Depakote's "Tummler"

Sweet Dreams - Marilyn Manson
>>691688821
Tainted Love by Marilyn Manson is, in my opinion better than the original.

Van Halen:
Pretty Woman
Dancing in the Street
You Really Got Me
Ice Cream Man
Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers
>>691691614
That's interesting, I'm not a huge Marilyn Manson fan but I do like a few of his songs and I like his version of "Tainted Love" better than Gloria Jones. I'm not saying that I dislike Gloria's version, I just like Marilyn's better. I don't care for Soft Cell's version at all.
>>691692543
Hurt is the only one I give you credit for. And you can't fuckin redo Sound of Silence.
House of the Rising Sun - The Animals
>>691688821
Any cover Nirvana or Sublime did.
Mainly We're Only Gonna Die by Sublime (Bad Religion cover)
and all of Nirvana's cover's of The Vaselines.
Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World
Ghost - If You Have Ghost
Rage Against The Machine - Fuck The Police
Ghost - I'm a Marionette
>>691692619
This
Live and Let Die - Guns N' Roses
As much as I like McCartney, the original sounds like silly cartoon music compared to Slash's wailing guitar.
>>691692558
hate to say it man but you can't top that original
>>691692819
>RATM
>not posting ghost of guy dude
>>691691191
You want to say that the taste of the song's creator isn't worth considering, while simultaneously saying that the original is better than the cover?
I don't think that's directly contradictory, but you see how it's fucked up right? Perhaps it's not a fair assumption for me to make, but I assume he has more musical training than you do, and he ought to be better suited to academically analyzing music. I drink a lot of alcohol, but it doesn't impede my ability to talk about artwork on academic level?
TL;DR: Addiction doesn't preclude expertise?
>>691692904

I've surmised one of three things about you to be true
1 - You have shit taste
2 - You are a faggot edgelord who thinks metal bands can do no wrong
3 - You're fucking trolling
That cover is objectively horrible and Draiman has no business with a song like that in the first place, so which is it?

>>691693784
But it's not a cover
not gonna lie, I enjoy the disturbed cover of Sound of Silence but I prefer the original
>>691688821
The Specials - You're wondering now
I always preferred Emmie's cover of More Than This. It's got this melancholic, slightly drone-like quality that suits the subject matter more, I think.

Metallica covers of some misfits songs
Or any other bands cover of the misfits. The misfits fucking sucked.
>>691692960
I see your point, but any art creator seriously claiming that his own work written from his point of view of his experiences can magically be truly better by another because he's had some similar experiences and is old is a mong. Cash covered it nicely, but Reznor obviously made a gesture to a legendary and respected elder that everyone took too literally.

Truth !!
>>691694025
This is fucking epic.
>>691693966

>>691694025
>remake mario bros

Nazareth doing Joni Mitchell's This Flight Tonight
on all this back and forth about The Man Who Sold the World, I really think we should agree that one can't really be considered better than the other. They're both fantastic renditions, Bowie killed it with the original but nirvana had a completely different sound to it, and bowie himself acknowledged how cool it sounded
I fought the law - the clash
how can anyone say the seether cover of Careless Whisper? that sax is iconic.

>>691694101
Traditionally people are more biased toward their own creations as opposed to others' works. If he conceded because of something stupid like respect to Cash, then that's shitty. I have no idea what his motivation would be for doing that, though. I don't know a whole lot about Trent, but I would hope he had more artistic integrity than that.
Also, I legit like the cover better.

Johnny Cash's shitty version of "Hurt" is in no way better than NIN's original. Yeah NIN is a shit band but they have that ONE song yet everyone is taking that away from them by saying Johnny Cash's version is superior even though it isn't.
