Thats my start up music, tis a small clip from Sanitarium by Apocalyptica. The speed has been increased up to 200% though.

My other sound.. it says open, but it's the close sound . Enter Sandman by Apocalyptica.

Moral to the Story: Don't Mess

Ugh. I don't like that one. The original was so much better.

Anything Nirvana covered was better than the originals, except for their Beatles covers. In addition to the aforementioned Unplugged songs, they also made better versions of Here She Comes Now (Velvet Underground), Turnaround (Devo), Love Buzz (can't remember the original band), Where Did You Sleep Last Night (old folk song), Son of a Gun (The Vaselines), Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam (The Vaselines), and Molly's Lips (The Vaselines)

The Cure did decent covers of Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division) and Young Americans (David Bowie)

David Bowie- Cactus (Pixies cover)

Micheal Stipe, Peter Buck, Adam Clayton, and U2's drummer (I keep forgetting his name) did an amazing version of U2's song One. Way better than the original.

Toad the Wet Sprocket- Ziggy Stardust (David Bowie)
Toad the Wet Sprocket- Hey Bulldog (The Beatles)

I REFUSE to believe anyone could come even CLOSE to remaking that song so it sounds even remotely good. I Am the Walrus is just comlete ownage.



They did a fair job on it.

The future is here, and all bets are off.

Good one that comes to mind is Jars of Clay - Lonely People on the new album.

As I said in the "worst covers" thread, Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner covers are good, even if most are in a "so bad it's good" way.

Tori Amos - '97 Bonnie and Clyde

Now I'll go wait for someone to quote me in the upcoming "Creepiest Covers" thread.

-STP - Dancing Days
-Hootie & The Blowfish - Mustang Sally
-Goldfinger - 99 Red Baloons
-Brian Setzer Orchestra - Jump Jive & Wail
-Eve 6 - Leavin' On A Jet Plane
-The Ataris - Boys of Summer *call me crazy
-Pearl Jam/Neil Young - Keep On Rockin' In The Free World *would be better w/o Neil
-Matchbox 20 - Time After Time
-Cake - Will Survive *have to say this, Going the Distance is in my top 10 all time fav songs

*edit* Saw Freaky Friday at the $1 movies the other day and heard a fun cover of Brittany Spears. Bowling For Soup redid 'Baby One More Time'. It's kinda fun.

Rolf Harris - Stairway To Heaven. Pure bliss. Classic rock with a wobbleboard by someone who's never even heard the song before.

Therion - Summernight City (ABBA done operatic metal style!)

Nightwish - Phantom of the Opera (Andrew Lloyd Webber) Unassailable. It's just fantastic.

Iced Earth - Highway To Hell (ACDC). It just rocks.

Sonata Arctica - Wind Beneath My Wings. It's funny.

Blind Guardian - Mr. Sandman (err... lots of 50s bands did it). Just plain hilarious. Hansi's drunken vocals make this great.

Guns N' Roses:sypathy for the devil(rolling stones)

Sick dude, I heard the original, well not really, but I heard it played traditionally in a pub in Doolin, Ireland and I have to say Metallica pretty much raped it, and it sounds 800x better with irish accents.

Also, maybe it's just because of my extreme dislike of Nirvana (well, more of my dislike of people putting Cobain up as a rock-god and hearing their songs every 20 minutes on the radio) but I tended not to like any of their covers, especially Man Who Sold the World. David Bowie's original not only being the best, but it just kills Nirvana's cover any day. But I do have to give Nirvana good-feeling for busting up the hair metal/Kenny G scene of the late 80's/early 90's.

Elton John - The Show Must Go On
In 1997 Elton John did a cover of Queen's 1991 classic... Simply great. His sound doesn't sound like in his other songs, it is deep and powerful at this version. Simply superb.
