Covers

[Cruyff14]

I am a huge, huge fan of covers.

Thought this thread could be for people sharing covers they like.

Probably quite well known, but I'll start with this

 

[Cruyff14]

One of the Kings of covers. ****ing smashes this out of the park. Dempsey's range and passion are incredible



Big fan of this. Her tone is wonderful. The first time I listened to this and she switched it up in the final verse was a nice surprise



This is fantastic. Really highlights how great Flowers range is



Obviously my love for Springsteen is no secret, but Manfred Mann's Earth Band made the song so much better. One of my favourite songs of all time

This would be amongst the greatest covers I've heard




This is definitely one of my favourites too

 

[CURVE]

Two that are covers of the same song.

I had no idea Ferry's was a cover, always thought he did the original.

 

[Cruyff14]

Only discovered this wasn't a cover not so long ago.

****ing ripper song.

 

[Vincent Hanna]

This is hot, dude has a crack band too:

Nice tribute to Linda Ronstadt (who can no longer sing due to Parkinson's.)

Blondie doing MJ:

Oh yes! Harry is amazing.

Agree on his band, his drummer is great.

Have you seen this?

Yes I have, huge fan of Harry's - this is missing the Buckingham angst however - nice cover though.

The solo break part followed by the Lindsey hybrid picking bit, wow, very good.




Seriously good chops.

 

[dumb]

an amazing and utterly miserable cover with strong allusions to AIDS
(edit: forgot the text at the end spells it right out)




warning original, and the pungent stench cover

 

[Cruyff14]

Here are another bunch of Springsteen covers.

Hung My Head is probably his best IMO



Purple Rain is ace. Nils Lofgren smashes it



Love this too.



Watching the band work through this is phenomenal, especially Stevie!

 

[revival_mode]

dont mind ice-t at the start lol

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

 

[Pistol Night]

Brandon Flowers is ****ing fantastic.

His voice is utterly superb.

This really shows off his range, it's spectacular.

 

[Vincent Hanna]

This is gorgeous imo

 

[Vincent Hanna]

Still love this one
