Covers

[chandni1234]

There is a couple threads like this on other forums so i thought AW should have one (and i havent seen one here)

just recommend a cover, describe it and if you can post a link to it.

i recommend Biffy Clyro - Umbrella (rihanna cover)

its a fantastic acoustic cover of umbrella because they are a rock band, it was played on BBC's live lounge.

(but i cant post a link)

i hope this works because im always up for hearing covers!

[Memento Mori]

Just heard that Disturbed have covered Midlife Crisis as a B-side. I look forward to hearing it.

[chandni1234]

i think something you cannot go wrong with is dashboard confessional - the wire tapes(volume 1) they do an awesome cover of regina spektors song "better"

and i listened to rammstein - barbie girl.. it was sooo funny.. he sounds like a dog.. and its in german.. anything in germal is jokes

The whole punk goes crunk cd has funny punk bands covering rap songs, but my favorite cover is a day to remembers cover of kelly clarksons since you've been gone

i've gotta agree with this. the whole punk goes crunk cd is pretty decent and A Day To Remember does an awesome cover of kelly clarkson's since you've been gone.

A Day To Remember - Since You've Been Gone (Kelly Clarkson Cover)
http://www.zshare.net/audio/14360708d57d692e/



another good cover artist is "The String Quartet". they cover a ton of bands but one of my favorite songs by them is their rendition of Underoath's A Boy Brushed in Red Living In Black And White.

The String Quartet - A Boy Brushed In Red Living In Black And White (Underoath Cover)

the last new cover that i could possible add to this is The Gaia Corporation's cover to Wonderwall. it's absolutely amazing.

[mabrymusic]

a perfect circle's version of john lennon's 'imagine' from the emotive cd. i'm a HUGE beatles fan as well as the solo material from the members as well. most covers of any of their material is complete shit...for some reason, perfect circle put a completely different spin on that song and made it totally haunting...it gives me chills

[lolwut]

Jack Johnson - I Love You and Buddha Too

Originally by Mason Jennings.

[schloss21]

found another good cover the other day. it's a cover to Kate Perry's "I Kissed A Girl" done by the band False Start.

It's a shame that eMOTIVe sucked so much as a whole though. Except for Passive.

[schloss21]

i found another cover yesterday to Kate Perry's "I Kissed A Girl". it's by far way better than the last Kate Perry cover that i found. towards the end it's absolutely ridiculous. the breakdown is incredible though.

[Memento Mori]

Always willing to listen to cross-genre covers, listening to Graveworm do 'I Nero A Hero' was pretty fun.

Apparently there is also a battle metal version of it, which I need to root out.

[Cacteur]

Here's one I discovered a few weeks back..

Angelique Kidjo, an Afropop diva doing Hendrix's Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) It's a kind of supersoul/African treatment, and it's fucking brilliant

There's a link to this track, and another to the whole album here...

http://albumwash.com/forum/t15643-angelique-kidjo-keep-on-moving-the-best-of-2001.html

Check it out... you won't regret it. http://i440.photobucket.com/albums/qq122/Cacteur/Smilies/5b8e4bbclapping.gif
