Cover music

[Beth Phoenix Fan]

I was looking up songs and i discovered that disturbed's land of confusion song was just a remade version of a song by genesis

anyone else know of any good remakes/covers of 80s pop music remade by/or covered by 2000's 2010's rock bands?

[Mooияakeя™]

Love both, but Placebo at it again. Also, Big mouth Strikes Again was pretty good by both The Smiths and Placebo..

You can officially no longer be taker seriously.

And this is in the same thread Desi Gecko put up Limp Bizkit's cover of Behind Blue Eyes.

How do you not remember the Land of Confusion video??

One of the best ever..

"Hurt" by Johnny Cash is the greatest cover of all time, for the record..

Nevermore's cover of Simon & Garfunkle's sound of silence is intense. I like it when bands put their own spin on a cover.

That wouldn't have any relevance here, since I didn't say you resembled any MMA fighter's ass.

I'm not really a huge Coldplay fan. Not only do I love Aimee's version of "The Scientist," it's one of my favourite performances she's ever done.

Since I was spamming it, figured I'd put it here.

Some songs shouldn't be covered which is why I don't like Glee or Across the Universe.

Killswitch did a Dio song that was pretty good

Lacuna Coil usually has one cover song on every cd that tends to be pretty good as well.

IMO, no one can do justice to Dio, and I've heard Killswitch's cover.

I'd love to see the singer of Wuthering Heights do a Dio tribute, his voice is the most similar to Dio's that I've ever heard.

Jorn covering one of his heroes: Dio.

[Tom Guycott]

Not a rock band, but still in the same vein: A guy who made a career as a rapper collabed an entire album of singing covers of 80's songs.

And, covered them very well.

Also love their version of "Take On Me"

One of the local DJs uses "Rainbow in the Dark" as a "pallate cleanser" after a particularly bad smash it/trash it song. Someone told him there's an awesome cover of the song done in concert by Chester Bennington. Anyone happen to have a lead on a link to it?

You just used "Awesome" and "Chester Bennington" in the same sentence.

That's kind of it, but the audio quality is for shit and doesn't catch the beginning. Thanks though.

[bigdaddysuperfreak]

There are alot of punk and ska bands that have redone 80s songs.

Rachel Brooke is probably one of the best female vocalists out there. The song was originally done by the Carter Family.
