You get pure genius!

 

[Plugger35]

I think I've mentioned these on the music board but a couple of my favourite covers.

 

[Cruyff14]

You get pure genius!

It is the best solo I have ever seen live.

 

[ComicSansHumour]

Not a fan of that at all. This is my favourite cover of Jolene.

It's nice they shot it outside but I don't know why they have mics everywhere. Clearly recorded in studio.

This is some outdoors shit.



The best cover of 'Jolene' is 'Jolene'

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

Jose Gonzalez' cover of Heartbeats is another good one.

 

[skilts]

Cocker gets a mention for Never Tear Us Apart, but not for, With a Little Help from My Friends, She Came in Through the Bathroom Window, nor The Letter. You people are weird. Yeh, I know that's a given. Don't even know why I bothered to make that comment.

 

[Kynge of Begrem]

Iron Maiden's Wasted Years performed by Beth Patterson on the bouzouki

Yeah, A Little Help.... & The Letter are fantastic.

Jose Gonzalez' cover of Heartbeats is another good one.

His cover of Kylie Minogue's 'Hand On Your Heart' is pretty good too, changes the song completely.

 

[raven echo]

I'd nominate Johnny Cash's cover of NIN's Hurt as the most over rated of all time. NIN's version sounds pained and depressed, Johnny's just goes through the motions.

I thought I was the only one that thought that.

Even Trent has been on record saying he thinks Cash's version is better.

 

[Cruyff14]

This is among the best three covers I have seen



And let's be honest, this wouldn't be a thread without some Boss

Was front row



Absolutely love this too



And this is absolutely ****ing phenomenal

 

[AtomicBlonde]

Really?

I like a lot of his work but some of his covers/choices are terrible and that sounded awful. OTT bombast and growling vocals, could be any song.

The energy was electric, I really enjoyed it, but I am obviously biased though.

Higher & Higher is kickass.

Absolutely, loved it!

 

[Cruyff14]

Absolutely, loved it!

It's the most fun I've seen someone have with a song. The key change is great too, when he's dancing around. So SO good!

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

Iron Maiden's Wasted Years performed by Beth Patterson on the bouzouki

WOAH! I f*cking like it

 

[AtomicBlonde]

Was awesome and so it this, not really a cover because Darlene Love recorded it originally but backed by The Boss and the E Streeters (can't believe they left it off the Hall Of Fame DVD boxset):

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

Fleetwood Mac's The Green Manalishi (with the two-prong crown)



got an absolutely RIPPER cover version courtesy of Judas Priest

Have you seen this?



Completely blew everyone away, what a way to start a show.

And while we're on the topic of Motown....

 

[AtomicBlonde]

Awesome cover by JP but my favourite is their cover of Joan Baez's Diamonds and Rust from the Sin After Sin album:

Yeah, I've played the Vedder one a few times but that's the first time seeing/hearing Heatwave - outstanding!!!

Might enjoy this too then, Chuck Berry cover.

The banter before the song is fun
