Favorite Cover Song - GoFuckYourself.com

I've been listening to the Foo Fighter's cover of Prince's "Darling Nikki" a lot lately. That song rocks in so many ways.

What is your favorite cover?

$5 submissions · 11-14-2003, 02:22 AM

Cake's version of Gloria Gaynor's I will Survive. I love that quirky timing and hip delivery.

Very Bay Area, very cool.

On-top · 11-14-2003, 02:26 AM

Jimi playing "All Along the Watchtower" is pretty nice.

I also dig Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt." It's one of those things that really brings two opposites together. Good stuff.

Plan9 · 11-14-2003, 02:26 AM

Failure's Cover of the Depeche Mode song 'Enjoy the Silence'
Or The Deftone's cover of 'To have and to hold' (another depeche mode song)

Gob - Paint It Black

I guess you'd have to be from Vancouver (and especially from Langley) to appreciate it ;)

Doing good Shann - you going to make it to LA next week?

DJ Reno · 11-14-2003, 02:46 AM

Metallicas "Whiskey In The Jar". I like the Original as well, but the new version rocks.

aadje · 11-14-2003, 02:48 AM

suspicious minds (elvis) fine young cannibals

but personally i like the originals better, because they are original!

Even Thin Lizzys' record is a cover from an old Irish drinking song...

SexxxyChat-T · 11-14-2003, 03:01 AM

Dolly Parton's cover of "Shine" by Collective Soul...

I shit you not, it is actually good.

Was driving around Phoenix the other night in a big ass SUV with JMan, Tanker, and Cameron blasting Bloodhound Gang's It's Tricky. Good song to drive around listening to

Sarah_Jayne · 11-14-2003, 06:23 AM

I usually hate covers as these days they are pretty much the domain of boy and girl b(l)ands .

That said, Placebo have just done a terrific cover of Kate Bush's 'Running Up That Hill'. One of the best covers I have heard.

KobyBoy · 11-14-2003, 06:40 AM

Marilyn Manson's cover of Soft Cell's Tainted Love and Orgy's cover of New Order's Blue Monday. Both song I can rock out to no matter what.

yeah, I think his version of Tainted Love is better than Soft Cell's but did you know that soft cell's version is a cover song too?

PSGuru · 11-14-2003, 06:45 AM

Jane's Addiction - Sympathy for the devil

gothweb · 11-14-2003, 06:46 AM

KMFDM did a great cover of U2's "Mysterious Ways"

basschick · 11-14-2003, 07:30 AM

both SOD and anthrax did "milk(ode to billy joe)" and i love 'em both

haven't heard Cake's version of Gloria Gaynor's I will Survive - gotta check that out. and i always loved fine young cannibals doing suspicious minds.

we went to play with an old friend of mine who took up drums a little over a year ago and he wanted to play covers. we did wild thing but more metal-ly and we were screaming sex lyrics - it was fun :-) also did wipe out with pieces of the old batman theme mixed in.

Avril Lavigne doing metallica

That's a good song to cover. Dwight Yoakum did one as well. You're right though...nothing beats the Original by THE KING.

What is your favorite cover?

The Foo Fighters cover of "Have a Cigar" is pretty damn good.

They also did a cover of the Ace Frehley song, "Ozone" way back in 1995.
(yes, the Foos have been around that long already)

dennisthemenace · 11-14-2003, 07:49 AM

oops.. also love what Disturbed did with Shout

Living For Today · 11-14-2003, 08:00 AM

the best version of tainted love is by the livind end ;)

my favourite covers would have to be:

pennywise - land down under
lagwagon - brown eyed girl
nofx - olympia wa

and of course me first and the gimme gimmes have a tonne and snuff also has lots of good covers!

Gspothottie · 11-14-2003, 08:11 AM

Johnny Cash's cover of the NIN song

dennisthemenace · 11-14-2003, 08:20 AM

True that no one can beat the king on this song, but Yoakum makes it sound damn good too!

Something about his twangy voice that fits that song well.

that rancid/nofx split was pretty horrid I think, shows that nofx and rancid are really only good playing their own songs lol

the anti-flag/bouncing souls split was fucking awesome!

Butrflied · 11-14-2003, 08:59 AM

Do trance mixes count as covers? .. I really like Sash's version of Enjoy the Silence ..

I also really like Pearl Jam's cover of the Who's Baba O'Riley and New Found Glory's cover of That Thing You Do.
