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.

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)

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.

lucy in the sky with diamonds - aimee mann

 

i'm only sleeping - the vines

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
