August 9, 20187 yr I generally do not like covers, but there are a few that make the grade. Van Halen's cover of Roy Orbison's Pretty Woman Johnny Cash's cover of Nine Inch Nail's Hurt Almost every song on the Black Sabbath tribute album, Nativity in Black.

August 9, 20187 yr https://twitter.com/joshgreenman/status/1025138125281083392 Josh GreenmanVerified account @joshgreenman FollowFollow @joshgreenman More Name a cover that's better than the original, and you're not allowed to mention Jeff Buckley or Sinead O'Connor.

August 11, 20187 yr i love BW Stevensons version as well but these guys just kill it...and all those artists in that audience know deep down these guys are better than they are... Edited August 11, 20187 yr by Mileslong
August 11, 20187 yr Just heard this on the radio. Maybe not a cover since he played with the original band, but awesome nonetheless.

August 17, 20187 yr Al Jourgensen and a possibly highly medicated Eddie Vedder do Dylan's Lay Lady Lay. Maybe just being around Ministry in such a weird setting has that effect.
August 17, 20187 yr RIP. I don't know if the song is better than the original, but her vocals are very persuasive. Edited August 17, 20187 yr by JBJ
August 19, 20187 yr Loved Led Zeppelin and Tool growing up, so I've always really loved Tool's cover of No Quarter.
September 24, 20187 yr Gospel covers are a dime a dozen but this has been a fav since I first heard it
November 19, 20187 yr Well, the title says "good AND bad", so I'll throw this one out, since it popped up when I was searching for a live Peter Gabriel video I've seen several times. I'll admit it, I can't stand Postmodern Jukebox, but they topped themselves here. It's so unbelievably out of touch, apparently oblivious to what the song is about (which is "fucking") . . . I'm just totally dumbstruck that someone never stepped in and said "yeah, you kids aren't getting it". It's not a damn sockhop you chodes. Listen at your own peril. For reference, here's Peter Gabriel and band knocking it out of the park, at an appropriate tempo, with a bass player who defines groove as opposed to some twat who thinks he's in the pocket but wouldn't recognize a pocket if you spotted him a free pair of pants, plus a drummer who knows what a backbeat is, not to mention a singer (duh) who isn't an inept, soulless piece of shite:
November 20, 20187 yr I wasn't sure where to put this, but since it's a cover, I'll put it here. It's also really good and really bad. Kravitz is unbelievably stiff -- there is zero soul in his vocals until after the final break. He sounds like a guy trying out for the high school choir. BUT, the band is smokin'. Craig Ross, Kenny Aronoff, who could ask for more? Brilliant. They get the tune. Both of them angle a little more towards the straight up on-top-of-the-beat approach that every bar band not featuring John Bonham and Jimmy Page must cultivate, because . . . those guys just did things different. That said, it's tight as hell and really powerful stuff. Plus, Obama and YoYo Ma. So suck on that, CR.
