[ohmwrecker]

Well, if we're posting GOOD covers now...

LOL. Triumph. That being said, Triumph rules! Rik Emmett is a of a musician.

indeed. also one of the few bands i cant think of where the drummer also was a lead vocalist (well, Emmett and Moore split duties)

Good point. Moore had a great voice as well. They had both sides covered. But Emmett hitting those high notes was something. Lay it on the Line is an all time favorite.

i always liked this chill cover

And here I thought you were coming to talk about *semi-annual Van Hagar joke* when Van Halen was mentioned!

I racked my brain for a Van Hagar cover just for you, but not sure they ever did one!

With the exception of a couple of songs, the Beatles covers in "I am Sam" soundtrack are pretty good.

I was just thinking the other day how terrible that soundtrack is

Cover songs better than the original
Guns n Roses: live n let die, knocking on heaven's door, since I don't have you.
Metallica: Turn the page
Orgy: Blue Monday

Live and Let Die, I'll give you... But not Knockin on Heaven's Door. Way too much vocal self-indulgence from Axl on that one... "HAAAY HAAAY HAY HAY HAY"

[spurraider21]

i like GnR version of knockin on heavens door.

don't know if i'd say its better than the original, but its not on my "worst cover songs" list

[The Gemini Method]

yeah the HAYYY HAY HAYYYY HAY part is a bit much...

[Strike]

Live And Let Die is a good cover but Knockin On Heaven's Door is horrible.

[The Gemini Method]

FYC murdering the Buzz 's track...

[ohmwrecker]

Yeah, that is the worst list I've ever seen.

Don't be mean, but, what does "cover song" exactly stand for?

When a band sings another band's song, one they are famous for.

Though some enjoy it, I think Metallica's "Turn the Page" really ed up Bob's song. Bob's version was so much better, sounded authentic, like Bob.

[DMC]

Devo rules

Uncle Kraker (sp?), Drift Away.. talk about ing up a classic with the help of the original.

[spurraider21]

American Pie by Madonna

I disagree. The original sounds too pussified IMO. Too much sax and the vocals sound lame. Original also really doesn't get your head bobbing like Metallica's version imo.

Only someone who wasn't from that era would think Bob Seger sounded pussified.
