Faith No More doing “Easy” unexpectedly (before they released it as a single) at a concert was pretty random. The mosh pit didn’t know what to do.

I’m a little bewildered by the Manic Street Preachers releasing The The’s This is the Day

Tori Amos also did Hendrix’ If 6 Was 9, using a piano miked up through a big amp and driven to major distortion, and Billy Holliday’s Strange Fruit, and a pretty creepy version it is too.
Oh, and she covered Chas ‘n’ Dave as well, but I can’t remember which track at the mo’.

This is genius

there’s a Lady GaGa song been done by The Melvins (or some such) – in the same kind of style as Alien Ant Farm’s “Smooth Criminal”. Shame I can’t remember which one it is…

I win.
This is bloody awful.
She thinks shes so cool

actually that avril cover is about a gazillion times better than system of a down 😆

Nobody seems to like this at work.I think its better than the original.

that’s alright, that is. Different to the original, which is one of two ways to do a cover version.

The other way is to do it note/beat perfect, and I don’t see the point of that. may as well turn up to karaoke night / watch X-factor (same thing really). Except for Walk On By (above), which is sublime

Is it a proper cover version if you include your own words. And owls.

Go to see them . You will not be disappoint.

Just seen Little Roy (elderly Jamaican reggae chap) on Jools Holland covering Nirvana’s “Heart Shaped Box”. That was quite interesting….

One for those up late!

Comedy covers aside – I still love this version of Superstar by Sonic Youth.
Thanks to Bob Mills for introducing me to it!

Most of the 60’s great rock tracks by Zeppelin/Stones/etc were blues covers!

Love the ukulele orchestra

Many years ago, I recollect a group potentially called Leather Nun doing a cover of Abba’s Gimme, Gimme, Gimme….it was great….

Can’t corroborate the song but yes, i can confirm Leather Nun. It was a band Neil Linford, who was the coolest kid at school was championing in probably 86 or 87?

That just got wierder, when you see who introduces them. Didn’t have him as being a swedish early death metal fan.
