Hit me with your favorite cover tunes!

Here's a recent one I stumbled upon.

For the first couple of bars, I thought it was way too smooth.

HA!  How utterly wrong I was!

Heaven and Hell - The Band Geeks with Emily Nacchio

I really like Cakes version of War Pigs. Strange because it's not really my style at all. I also like the Because the Night cover by Shirley Manson and Patrernoster

Agreed!

Speaking of which; like a lot of folks here, I despise Bruce Springsteen as a person BUT this cover of Warren Zevon's "My Ride's Here" is incredible.  Peerless, honestly.

The crowd doing all the barking and baying of the dogs was AMAZINGLY spot on!!!!!  

Honestly, I swear it is better than Floyd could do it.

Damn.  My condolences, Dude!  

The breakdown/time change on this punk version is epic:

It goes from 1980s punk show to a 1970s prom dance in the blink of an eye...and then back again.

Heard them playing this at shows and at bars for years, was pretty glad when they put it on the album. And Flint being in the opening to the video makes it that much better!

RIP, Rick.



I bought a turntable for my wife for Christmas.

We pulled all of our old vinyl out.

Sounds kinky.

Old rock.

I saw Ghost on tour in August. It's absolutely the best stage show I've seen in decades. He rules that stage. I've become a fan. It's definitely its own genre, and to simply call him metal doesn't capture it.

BTW, this version of Phantom is nominated for best metal performance at the next Grammys.

How about a cover from a group that are good performers, but just can't take anything seriously and go for maximum lulz with their videos? Give it a solid one minute before giving up.
