here are some that I have started and there are a bunch that I have yet to remember or find the time to search out. Post your's up but be sure to link the audio or video to the original and the cover so we don't have to just take your word for it. It can be any style of music that you like. I have a few more obscure ones to get to that i will try to get up later.

Have fun!!!:head:

Is it sad that I actually listen to a lot of Depeche Mode?

My favorite cover song is "Jack the Ripper" originally done by The Smiths and covered by AFI.

I just mentioned this one in a completely unrelated thread recently.


Find a video for their cover of The Chauffeur. I couldn't find one that wasn't live, but I love that cover/song.

the shinedown cover of simple man sounds better IMHO, he did a great job with that

there's a cover out there of atreyu doing "you give love a bad name", the vocals are vastly different but the guitar sounds great

I liked the Deftones cover of "Simple Man" better. I love Chino's vocals. Atreyu does a cover of Faith No More's "Epic" on their new album. It's not too bad, but it's not nearly as good as the original. And I'm sorry, but KsE is one of my favorite bands. I really liked their "Holy Diver" cover...better than the original might I add.

If Atreyu did a cover of Epic, it isn't on any of their CD's.

And the Deftone covers :head:

XJ, i figured out the problem. I just looked at the back cover and it's a hidden track, it's the very last one. Inside the liner notes it tells who helped produce it and stuff though

On Lead Sails Paper Anchor the "Bonus Track" (track 12) is actually the Faith No More cover. The new CD is definitely different then their older stuff, but I like it.

And the Deftones cover's on their B-Sides and Rarities CD are really good.

amazingly I own the cds (or movies) of all of the ones i've posted, and I dare you to say anything about that :) Imagine listening to the carpenters in a 1968 corvette with a 450 watt RMS sound system ;)
