    I use that "Dreams I'll Never See" cover to help audition new audio equipment.  It has tons of clarity and just sounds fantastic. CSB:  I was editor of our HS newspaper my junior and senior years

    Heh . . . Miles Davis, playing just a bit sharp.  That never happens.  Man, he had taste, though. This isn't a cover, but I don't care, if you have the time, rewind to the beginning of the clip t

Is there any song that Chris Cornell doesn’t make better?

He wasn't clearing a high bar on that one.

Love all 3 of these Ziggy covers

 

 

 

These are interesting but God they are difficult to listen to. I'm not sure what they were going for on the vocals but they missed the mark. I can't tell if the singing or the mastering is worse.

The backing tracks are pretty neat, though. Whoever did them is talented for sure.

Oh hush.

I dig the Sinatra duet and this one is pretty good as well, Nicole has some nice pipes to go along with her looks...

 

Can't believe I forgot this one.

It's a cover of Andy Williams 1962 Number 2 hit in US and UK.

Only just now discovered this one. Holy mother of pearl...

I just don't like the G'n'R tune.

Any ballad sung by Axl makes my skin crawl. Just horrendous.

GnR's Patience is classic. It was a great fucking song.

  Fuck all that.

Patience.

The Slide Queen rules.

LMAO.  It's a horrible song with 6th grade lyrics sung by a guy who can only do big rock vocals.

and?

It's hair band rock, not fucking Shakespeare.  The cover is not better just because Cornell is a more likeable guy..

Good lord.  It's a shitty song that was made better because Cornell's voice was 10X better than Axl's.  Calm down, Nancy.

Saw GnR a couple of times.  My best memory was of Axl throwing a complete temper tantrum during a show.  Appeared pissed because the sound board guys couldn't get something right.  Threw his mic into the crowd and stormed off the stage for a bit.

In the middle of performing Patience.

Slash was a grade ahead of me at my elementary school.  Didn’t realize it until many years later.

In my mind, he was born with that hair, so I don't believe you.

Great take on a Louvin Brothers tune by Don & Dolly.  Apparently she was sick in the hospital on the day of the video shoot, checked herself out, shot the video, and then went back and checked herself in.

 

 

Josh Weathers is a great guy that plays gigs around DFW all the time, great voice. Here is his cover of "Oh Sherrie" by Journey:

Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams"

That dude has a helluva voice.  Thanks for the links.

His bass player and drummer are decent musicians, but their harmony is awesome.

David Bowie remake.

This is quite possibly the best music video I have ever seen.  I thought this before I realized the organist/guitarist girl is blind.

 

Not sure if this belongs in the covers thread or the live performance thread:

 

I'm not sure if this is good, bad, or just annoying, but what the hell:

 

I’m gonna call that solid.

 

I mean not just anyone can bust out Sweet Child polka style.

I really dig that.... 

But not as much as I do this one:

 

Warning:  political content + topless Jack Black

This is fantastic.

I was running through a bunch of these videos saying "nope, nope,nope" after a few seconds of these mostly horrid covers then saw the thumbnail for this and thought no way they're covering Ace. But hell yeah they threw out some yacht rock! Nice

Yeah, I hate hearing a voice that good doing mostly covers.  He has a lot to offer.  Not everyone can write well, but most everyone can find someone to team up with who can write well.

That said, it's so obviously none of my business, and if he makes his money doing this instead of painting houses, cool.  It's certainly legitimate, but man, if that guy would have walked into my studio and started singing, I would have found him some great original music to sing.

Josh's biggest single to date is "Wild Ones" he wrote it, and performed it. He just needs some composers to believe in him and perform their songs. Some people are singers/songwriters, but most aren't. Or not good enough songwriters to get discovered.

CHIEF

I like them both...a  lot.

The greatest voice Elvis ever heard- Texan Roy Orbison

and then the cover...  Underrated as hell, IMHO. So sexy.
