And how about that cover of Stand by me? Pennywise totally rocked that joint.

 

Yes! Totally rocked.

what i like about you --suicide machines

 

i'm not sure of the artists of these songs.. but they're pretty cool.

mrs. robinson

hotel california

 

I could have sworn Pennywise made that Mrs. Robinson cover... Either way it's a cool one

Also by Pennywise and done well - Kids in America

I have a Reel Big Fish cover song of Hotel California - IT's amazing! Okay just cuz it's ska. :ghost:

 

Others:

I want you to love me covered by Letters to cleo (from 10 things I hate about you flick)

Pressure drop covered by the Specials

Boys of SUmmer done by The Ataris

Monster Mash by The Misfits

I can neither confirm nor deny that Pennywise did a cover of Mrs Robinson, but I can confirmt hat the most popular cover of Mrs Robinson in teh 90's was by the Lemonheads. The Lemonheads were too happy for the age of Nirvana, btu they rocked noththeless.

More...

 

 

Metro covered by System of a Down. Originally done by Berlin. I loved the original as well so when system of a down remade it i was skeptical at first... after hearing it I thought the new sound was great. Down Load both if you like 80s and rock.

 

Blue Monday remade by Orgy. Awesome remake, t'was well done.

O O Oooo

 

and

 

Fuck the Police covered by Rage against the machine!

Fucking loved these guys... I was so sad when they broke up.

Come to think about it, I never fully recovered. :ninja:

 

OH OH OHHHH And

 

The Zelda Theme song COVERED BY SYSTEM OF A DOWN!

 

This shit is the tities and the cocks and the balls put togther.

Evan Dando was too busy bing in love with the fact that he was acting like he hating being a rock star idol to start a heroin habit.

 

Two SOAD cover superior to Metro: Swonblind (originally my Black Sabbath) and Shame (on a Nigga) (originally by Wu-Tang Clan). I don't remember hearing Nick's opinion on their cover of Shame, but I doubt he likes it better than the original.

 

The Zelda song frequently circulated on the Internet that is attributed to SOAD is in fact not SOAD's work. It is by a band called The Rabbit Joint. It's not hard to see why it's misattributed to SOAD, but it's not them.

 

Ahh..Fuck the Police by Rage...the memories....

damn fine call...they did the beginnings of a great stairway to heaven live one time too, junker showed me, but they fucked around towards the middle and acted like they forgot the lyrics.

 

as for hip hop:

 

Snoop Dogg - Lodi Dodi (from Slick Rick)

Mos Def - Children's story (also Rick the Ruler's)

mushroomhead - crazy

dog fashion disco - grease is the word

dillinger escape plan w/mike patton - come to daddy

faith no more - love is all around

The Rabbit Joint? They sound just like SOAD.

Hah yah, memories from the high school days for me.

foo fighters - requiem

on a spin off of this topic, i do think the worst cover song would have to be boyzones rendition of fast car, by tracy chapman... butchery at its finest

 

I was going to contest that they must have done worse cover songs than that, but I realised doing that would unlock to many memories that are supposed to stay hidden.

 

The Slits did an amazing cover of Heard it Through the grapevine, I may have posted it on this thread already, but now you can hear it on Myspace, just listen to it.

depeche mode - john the revelator is another that comes to mind

 

foo's - down in the park...

 

lucy in the sky with diamonds - aimee mann

 

i'm only sleeping - the vines

 

don't let me down - stereophonics

paul anka does a good remake of wonderwall here.

On youtube, Paul Anka has only one friend, and if I'm not mistaken, "Tom" is your automatic friend for being on myspace. Well I saw Neil Young's myspace page I recall it having like 80,000 friends.

The cardigans do a fantastic cover of "Iron Man" by sabbath. I swear!

Why must you lie so?

Foo Fighters - Have a cigar

Foo Fighters - Darling Nikki

Ben Folds- Video Killed the Radiostar

Tori Amos- Father Figure (live) I Ran (live)

Sonic Youth- fuck i can't remember the name... it's a Carpenter cover "doncha remember you told me you loved me baby..."

David Bowie- See Emily Play

Marylin Manson- Personal Jesus

Johnny Cash- Rusty Cage

 

 

that's al i can think of off the top of my head.

Marty Robbins - Ghost Riders in the sky.

 

I dont trust Junker either, but he's usually on the money...manson's Personal Jesus? really? ugh.

 

All of Cash's covers on his last album.
