Covers that are better than the original song
Hand Of Doom
Original Artist: Black Sabbath Coverer: Isis The original song is cool and everything, but the Isis version is fucking awesome. I know some people who dont like this cover because it doesnt really sound a lot like Isis, but I think it shows that they can be pretty versatile. |
Viva Las Vegas
Coverer: Dead Kennedys Any Elvis song is better with the tempo speeded up. |
Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
Original Artist: The Animals Coverer: Nina Simone Just plain awesome, I don't care for the original, but her cover is beautiful. |
GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE - Discordance Axis
Original Artist - Black Flag THIS COVER IS SO MUCH BETTER |
Das Model - Kraftwerk
Coverer- Rammstein Even if you hate Rammstein, you have to admit that the original one sucked worse than the cover. |
Doesn't seem like you folks are willing to open up to pig, but I think the jazzy cover he did of Head Like A Hole stomps the original into the ground.

would that be because he's utter fucking gash?

Pictures of Matchstick Men- Ozzy Osbourne and Type O Negative

If anything he is a Foetus ripoff, I just like to think he does what he does a bit better than Thirlwell. You really can't compare Manson to anything, that guy is a joke. I hope Tim Skold get's the hell out of there. You are the first person I have ever heard compare Pig and Manson, more people compare him to NIN. Even then, I don't think there's much of a comparison. Back on topic. Band: Type O Negative Cover: Every cover they've done |
Ray Charles rendition of "Ol' Man River". You can't fucking match Ray. Fuck the Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra versions. There is only Ray.
Also I heard it through the Grapevine- Marvin Gaye orginal- Smokey Robinson & the Miracles (I think) |
Coverer - Cannibal Corpse Song - Confessions Coveree - Possessed I always skip the original one while listening to The Eyes of Horror, but Cannibal Corpse's version is one of my favorite songs. |
Coverer: Sleep
Song: Snowblind Coveree: Black Sabbath Seriously, even Ozzy Osbourne said he was blown away by this cover. I thought the Sabbath version was phenomenal but Sleep does the impossible. IMO they out-Sabbath-ed Sabbath. Coverer: Sunn O))) Song: For Whom the Bell Tolls Coveree: Metallica Just because they renamed it as F.W.T.B.T. (I Dream of Lars Ulrich Going Through the Bus Window Instead Of My Mystikal Master Kliff Burton) |
Immigrant Song-Led Zepplin
Coverer(?)- Demons & Wizards. Just a a louder, slightly faster version of an already great tune. |
