Bonus points if you can post up which MTB vid it was in!
Completely forgot about this -
Ah, you can't do the Marilyn Manson cover of tainted love, that was an awful copy of what Deathline International did with it years before:
Within Temptation - Skyfall
Within Temptation - Titanium
Within Temptation actually did a whole album of covers, for a Belgian radio station I think.
Depends on whether you class U2 as 'non-rock'
Disturbed - I still haven't found what I'm looking for
Therion - Summer Night City
Excellent thread , many of the above are already guilty pleasures 8)
Amazed no-one's posted this yet.
Not sure if it's been posted?
@mikey good shout with ignite. You going to see them? Tour (uk but starts tomorrow).
No, no London date for some reason.
Been pondering this, and I think I've got the [b]definitive[/b] rock cover of a non rock song!
Original as it ought to sound
The greatest cover ever :
90s Bremen HC legends Systral improving on Kylie...
Joy Division classic "Warsaw", as done live by some Romulans from San Diego...
Snuff - I think we're alone now.
Four year Strong- Spiderwebs (No Doubt)
Rage Against The Machine - I'm Housin' (EPMD)
Korn - Wicked (Ice Cube)
Glad the Rage covers have been mentioned, personal faves from that album are Renegades, Street Fighting Man and Maggie's Farm.
On a similar vein, Deftones have done a fair few covers - whole album here;
Not a band I normally have much time for, but gotta love Limp Bizkit's version of George Michael's Faith
Jesus - 3 pages in before we got any AV Club GWAR covers 😉
Here's more 😀
Some Kansas - Carry on My Wayward Son
And Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls into Jim Carroll Band - People Who Died (reworked for Dave Brockie / Oderus Orungus)
Beautiful.
Another one in the guilty pleasure camp...
Steel panther - I want it that way
Celdweller - tragedy
Joey ramone - wonderful world
A day to remember - since u been gone
Placebo - daddy cool
Fall out boy- beat it
New found glory - kiss me
Reel big fish - take on me
The Ataris - boys of the summer
Me first and the gimme gimmes - sloop john B
And if you want to try a switcheroo, Paul anka's Rock swings cover album is a giggle.
I'll put links up tomorrow if work isn't busy 🙂
